Kinda like what the vaccines are going to do with people once they upgrade the “software”.

If it’s a software issue why does it only effect a small number of vehicles? Did they change the software mid way?

Or is it really a weather issue that the software cannot currently resolve.

They call that a Mustang? Doesn’t look like any Mustang I ever saw.

No problem, at all. You simply buy a $5 ‘battery maintainer’ from Harbor Freight, and plug that onto the 12 volt battery. Then you plug that into a wall socket when ever you charge your EV from home.

Of course, that might just be the straw that breaks your entire electrical system camel, and blows out the entire city.

The vast majority of consumers want a car with an internal combustion engine. If Democrats continue to get elected or are able to steal their way to power, they soon won’t have the choice.

My youngest son brought one home from his dealership for me to test drive...

So, doing what any 87-year old remembers doing 73-years ago in his 1935 water-injected Ford, I floored it just for fun...
And left an "electric brick" on the seat...

I'm finishing the restoration on my 67 Camaro by this summer. Engine and tranny are in. It will look something like this (though mine is a base, not SS)

But now that I've seen the gorgeous E-Mustang, should I trade my Camaro in???

More proof that the Electric Vehicle "Industry" hires only the most Moron of humans as their designers and engineers.

A $5 battery maintainer would keep the 12V Lead-Acid battery at full charge indefinitely without damage.

Looks to much like something the Reverend Sung Yung moonies built.

Never buy a car newer than 20 years old!

Nissan’s Leaf had & solved the same problem years ago.
Embarrassing to make the same mistakes competitors did.

I am confused why an electric vehicle needs a 12 volt battery to start.

What???

I’ve been told by a Ford tech there is a panel in the bumper that has connections to charge the 12 volt battery

No key or voltage needed

Does it affect the sound system that mimics a real car?

Oh, the travails of having an overgrown golf kart in the name of being politically correct..

Why is a brand new cars 12v battery losing it’s charge simply by being parked while the main lithium ion battery is being charged? What systems could be running cold or no cold that requires the 12v battery when the car is parked and OFF.
