    • Ford Maverick Hybrid pics and first commute experience

      I now have just over 100 miles on my Ford Maverick hybrid. I picked it up with 60 mi on it last night. I need to reset the fuel calculator to get proper miles per gallon as it is probably been idling for a while before I picked it up. On my commute in this morning the car told me at the end of the trip that I got 8.1 mi pure electric out of about 22 mi total trip distance. There's a lot of little thoughtful touches inside the vehicle, my favorite so far is the cubby behind the door handle and space for sunglasses underneath the speaker in the door.PXL_20220215_183713489.jpg PXL_20220215_183727238.jpg PXL_20220215_183751041.jpg PXL_20220215_183801364.jpg PXL_20220215_183918667.jpg PXL_20220215_183930999.jpg PXL_20220215_183858722.jpg

      The maiden voyage home last night was in a snowstorm, and it is sleeting right now so the roads will be slick this afternoon as well. It's currently on all season tires, will need to get winter tires soon.

    • Secret Senna from the Land of the Rising Sun!

      I was finally able to check my mailbox today and got a package!
      It was a bevy of treats and Oppo goodness from Japan! PXL_20221223_223408701.MP.jpg

      I'll admit, I had a little trouble opening the plastic bubble for one of the cars, I've never seen packaging like that before. PXL_20221223_223940919.jpg

      Thanks @TheJWT ! This is the first time I've had a letter with someone's hanko on it!

    • Maverick real-world mileage, first thousand (or so)

      So I've done the math from my fill-up reciepts, and it appears that the dash average (currently 36.5 mpg) is a bit optimistic, unsurprisingly. I'm actually averaging 32.4 across the last three refueling stops I've done. Now, that's with about 40 miles of highway driving on my daily commute (plus another 16 city) and some urgency on the gas pedal, so I'm not hypermiling here. I'll keep you posted as things develop.

      BTW, the F-150 was sold over the weekend to a local dealer, got my war chest for selling the house!

    • She's dead, Jim

      The Maverick hybrid is dead. I've got a friend that's going to let me borrow one of his seven cars so I'm good there, I'm taking the rest of the day off I am quite upset with the way the dealership is treating me. They will not reimburse rentals they no longer have a courtesy shuttle they will not pay for Uber or Lyft and they have no loners for 4 weeks. They're not going to be able to look at the truck for a week to diagnose. But on the bright side, my friend is loaning me his convertible mustang so I guess there is a small silver lining.

      It drove fine on the way in to work this morning, both starting at the house and starting it at a gas station on the way. Once I got to the office and pulled into a parking space I put the transmission in park, engage the parking brake and went to turn the key. And instead of powering down it completely cut off. The tow truck driver was able to get it to jump start but, even after leaving it running during the tow on his rollback once we got to the dealer and got it unloaded it would not restart, it was still completely dead.

    • New email from Ford on my Maverick

      Just got an email from Ford:

      "The demand has been overwhelming for America's first standard hybrid truck. In fact, it's nearly sold out for the 2022 model year. Luckily there's already one with your name on it, and we're doing everything to build through the queue as quickly as possible. Your 2022 Maverick Hybrid pickup will be delivered next year, and rest assured that we'll continue to keep you updated."

      I'm not sure how to feel about the bolded part, but at least I'm confirmed that delivery will be next year. Also, as one of the first hybrid owners, they are giving me a free Ford FITS accessory kit after delivery...

      @MidEngine Clearly you underestimate the sparsity of our population... Seriously, there are a ton of places here where nobody would be in any danger. We have 1.3 people per square mile. I've been in Bush Alaska on small planes many times, and there's often no sign of civilization.

      @MidEngine Shoulda shot it down over Alaska. And I say that as an Alaskan. So much empty, unoccupied space with plenty of Army helo pilots for recovery.

      I had a coworker who once drove an Escape. It took the thief about 5 minutes to escape with it from a hotel parking lot.

      I would be so freakin pissed... Kids and tech shouldn't be mixing as much as they are already. Too many parents letting screens babysit the kids. Hell, I see it all the time in my buddy's gun shop!

      I’m not sure the top of the parking garage at Family and Children’s Services is one of the more scenic sights in Tulsa.

      That is interesting. I wonder if he's an unsatisfied client? Did they test him for substances?
