Tesla vs. Ford...

[Chizzang]

Have him take a picture of the range calculator after he fills the tank please
Until then - I call bullsh!t on you - I have about 100% more evidence than you do to support my claim

You have hearsay and the FORD website

besides witnessing it with my own eyes
This FORD Escape has a small tank / 4WD / Eco-boost / and under 300 miles of range
These are all ^ FACTS

You are so full of shit that it's funny.

wow...
You really don't get it - do you
The company I work for has had this car in its possession for 43 thousand miles
We know EXACTLY how many miles this thing will drive on a tank full - and now since I've had it out here in Seattle I have had the identical experience with this car as the guys in Maryland

This isn't a hoax or a scam
I'm simply relaying some data - which you chose NOT to believe

The tank range has nothing at all to do with what we're doing but it has been keenly observed by all on this project and that is why I started this thread

[OL FU]

Um.. all consternation and gastrointestinal grumblings aside gentlemen,
My only POINT was that John StWrong said basically nobody would buy a car with such shitty range

That is all...

No other point was being made - but to counter that stupid point

As you were

Perhaps you should have written him an old fashion letter

[HI54UNI]

Just because you only put 12 gallons in doesn't mean it only holds 12 gallons. It holds 15.1 gallons

http://www.ford.com/suvs/escape/2013/sp ... apacities/

Depending on which Eco-Boost it has the mpg is 22/30 or 21/28.

http://www.ford.com/suvs/escape/2013/specifications/

So the range is 332/453 or 317/422

Carry on with your making shit up.

DUDE... Seriously
I just FILLED IT UP myself
it has 277 miles of range before it stops running no matter what FORD tells you
this is how far it goes on a tank of gas (trust me) this is not a gag or hoax

Tesla's website says that going 60 mph on the highway in 70 degree weather with the air on will get you 205 or 259 miles depending on which battery back you have. Bumping it to 65 mph changes it to 191 or 242.

But I guess the manufacturer's website is full of shit, right?

We'll never know until somebody gets a TESLA and tests one...
What we do know is - I have a FORD ESCAPE 4wd Eco-Boost 2013 - in my possession right now
and it has a tank range of about 275 miles

That much we know...

[Grizalltheway]

I hate to get involved in this shit storm, but are those 275 miles primarily city or highway?

[AZGrizFan]

They're Seattle miles...in other words, it only SEEMS like you're driving 500 miles, but it's really only 275.

[HI54UNI]

I hate to get involved in this shit storm, but are those 275 miles primarily city or highway?

And are they hauling anything, like google street cam equipment?

They're Seattle miles...in other words, it only SEEMS like you're driving 500 miles, but it's really on 275.

My thoughts exactly.

Question for all you hybrid driving suckers.

Do you often suck dick at the local Quick Stop to get your dignity back?

[∞∞∞]

The Model S competes against high-end luxury cars (which is why it's successful). I can't imagine anyone considering a Model S to cross-shop it with a Ford Escape. The people buying these things are looking at BMWs, Mercs, Jags, etc.

Ford makes nothing that competes in the same class as the Model S (and that's including Lincoln vehicles).

No, they wouldn't want to encroach on your turf.

[clenz]

Honestly though - that initial picture is either:

1. Shopped
2. Having a sensor issue
3. Just filled up and the distance is catching up with reading how full the tank is (Which happens)
4. They drive like a fucking dee-dee-dee

I just asked our outside sales rep who has a 2013 Escape Titanium...He gets about 29 MPG and about 450 miles per tank.

Have him take a picture of the range calculator after he fills the tank please

here you go cheese dick



Watched him drive across the street to the gas station, fill up and drive back and then immediately take the picture

Is that good enough?

Or are you going to Spanos me and tell me that isn't good enough

[GrizFanStuckInUtah]

The range on my 1996 VW Passat TDI (diesel) wagon was 1,400+ miles.

Philly to LA with one stop for fuel.

Tesla range doesn't impress me.

Me either. I filled my car yesterday with 13.4 gallons of fuel and had gone 602 miles. The warning light had just gone off. I drive 30 miles each way to work and often have stop and go on the freeway. When it is not stopped I am doing 80 every chance I get. It has 177K miles on it and I don't expect to get rid of it anytime soon.

Okay perfect...
So what (with this picture) have you established?
And what with my picture and video have I established?

Lay it out there for my like I was a child

That fords estimates are correct and you suck at getting gas mileage...

[clenz]

Also, that the Escape gets roughly 60% more distance per "fill" than the Tesla at this point.

[AZGrizFan]

This seems to be unusually important to you.

That's the entire point of the thread.

Cheese dick pointing out that he sucks at getting gas milage and that a Tesla, with optimum conditions, gets less miles than his Escape on the EXTREME low end of the spectrum.

What's the Tesla get for city mileage.

Also was insistent that there was NO WAY an Escape had that kind of mileage...NO CHANCE because he didn't get that kind of mileage. According to him Fords website is full of lies saying that the Escape got that mileage.

So a car that costs 1/3 the price gets 50-60% better mileage...It is going to take a fuck ton of fills up to equal out that 40-50K price difference.

Again, but you're driving a fucking ESCAPE. A Ford ESCAPE. Might as well just drive a Priius and put your balls in a jar and break out your murse.

So you're elitist ass can stay out of an Escape then. Go buy another truck with 32 inch wheels then bitch about that gas mileage.

My you are a touchy little fucker tonight.

[CID1990]

HAH HAH HAH This thread is fvcking DELIVERING

Chizz starts a sh1tstorm over how many mile you can get per fillup on a poor mans SUV

[SeattleGriz]

It's not as large or as bad ass as the Tesla?

Well yes, that... (true)
but the Ford Escape has less range on a full tank than any Tesla being made right now
and the Ford Escape is one of the best selling vehicles in the Ford lineup

Where's StWrong..?

He's busy reading the entire Bible, unlike some!

[93henfan]

I'm with Clenz on this one.
