Which dealer did you get it from?
I'm looking into a '25 and I'm talking with two dealers but won't know more until they can actually build the car on Workbench as currently the '25 Blackwing isn't in the system. I'm pretty certain ill be getting one dealers first '25 allocation but it always...
I will bet everyone here with my Canadian Pesos that if Supercruise is standard, anyone ordering a manual will still pay full price and the automatic will still cost an extra 2-3k.
If supercruise is standard does that mean we get a discount if we pick the manual since supercruise doesn't work with the manual.
Obviously I know this won't be the case but I can dream...
Its still very enjoyable, I might need a second income to keep filling it up though. I average 10mpg but I can't think of another vehicle that the term "smiles per gallon" is so apt to excuse the terrible fuel economy.
Idling the car cold to get it up to temp takes forever. It will warm up much faster if you drive it.
Don't redline it cold but going easy on it for 5min should have it pretty close to normal operating temperatures to allow you to start wringing it out if you want to.
Idling a vehicle for long...
Every manual I've ever had could go into each gear parked, with the engine off. It would go in just as easily as if the engine was running.
Yes, I've sat in the garage or the driveway a time or two, held the clutch down and shifted into every gate, rowing 1 through 6 and reverse, I'm weird...
Any weird electrical issues I always go to the battery. I would take it in and have them do a test on it. If that checks out I'd just give it to the dealer to figure out, its under warranty so as long as the issue is reproducible its on them.
Maybe take a video to show them when you drop it off...
I find this to be common on Tremec transmissions when they are cold. I will usually shove it into first twice very deliberately and with force on the first shift of the day before pulling out of the driveway to prevent this and I haven't had an issue since.
I don't think I ever would have kept it long term. The transmission and engine scare me for out of warranty repairs. That said I still have a lot of years left for that warranty coverage and beyond that I really do love it, I just can't see myself keeping it outside of the warranty as a forever...
