Ford dealers could hardly give the Lightning away towards the end. Saw plenty of em marked way down, even before the announcement that they were ceasing production.

The massive decline of Ford/Lincoln sales continue with Ford and Lincoln sales down 13.6% and 20.5% monthly even as other brands bounce back in May sales.

There’s no “you guys,” no “determined,” only the mostly throwaway “point” of mine being the irony of your argument in the context of this specific thread about the reckless driving death of a guy who seemingly spent regular time on tracks.

Right, but track days don’t magically turn reckless drivers into saints on public roads, and plenty of reckless drivers have hit a track. For **those** drivers, a track day *can* lead to even more reckless driving off the track. Don’t know what triggered you so badly here.

If it were named something else, would it impress you? The branding is misleading, but it is the closest to “full self driving” on the market in a consumer vehicle at the moment. At least in the US.

Depends on how you look at it. 86% of my 1,500 miles this past month were on FSD. While I do still have to supervise it, it did help a ton with reducing fatigue upon arrival. I also have an EQS, and the driver assistance systems in it are nowhere near as comprehensive. The US doesn’t seem to be interested in investing in public transportation anytime soon, so this is the best we’ve got thus far. I’d happily pay $12k more in taxes to get some bullet trains in place instead.
