But I would rather my Ford Explorer 2010's body panels fell off rather than have my defective transmission, like hundreds of thousands of others which Ford refuses to acknowledge or recall, costing consumers tens of millions in damages for "Exploder" trannies. I despise Ford for their outright fraud. I wish Musk luck in saving his innovative company.
I, too owned a few Ford “Exploders”, and had the tranny rebuilt in one of them.
It was cheaper than replacing the battery on a Tesla would be...and those are 100% guaranteed to fail given time. As short as 5 years, maybe as long as 10 years.
I had a 1998 Ford Explorer... with a long term marginally functional transmission, which finally locked up completely after only 100K miles.
