Re:Ford’s recall of Mustang Mach-Es in 2022 is under investigation by ... on Monday August 21, 2023 @06:26PM (#37216163)

Anecdotal, but I drive a 2023 - Ford’s word is that this is “fixed” in 2023 models and later (the “2023.5” is shipping now) but unclear if that’s a software or hardware fix. Almost 10k miles in with no issues thus far. From my understanding, the issue is most common in the GT and GT Performance trims when maxing out the power - which tracks with the on-ramp story in the OP. MachEForum has a great tracker on where (since EV power is definitely temperature related), what trims, and what model years this is occurring on.

Misleading headline? It costs $10k only compared to hundreds of thousands with other franchises. CFA covers all initial costs and simply takes much more in profit sharing than others.

Not exactly breaking news, but I find it disappointing that a professional organization with contact details for individuals who might be at risk if their information is leaked to be practicing such bad security.Anything we as members of the public can do to safeguard information on a site like this?Proof here (my email account): https://imgur.com/SkACYtn

Re:Apple’s most expensive Mac Pro costs over $52k on Tuesday December 10, 2019 @11:12PM (#21759516)

I feel like this isn't too unlike the old Xserve's that could get up to a price this high. They're machines with a very, very limited use case, and budgets to match.
