$25k Sim Racing Rig: Does It Add REAL Driving Skill?
My friend and I visited Sim Racing Addicts in Chandler, Arizona and practiced driving the Nurburgring Nordschleife and Spa Francorchamps in preparation for my trip there this year. Can driving a nearly identical car in a highly realistic sim racing game on a sim rig costing as much as a real car ACTUALLY improve your skill enough to make a difference?

    I have a 2023'Lariat Hybrid that MSRP for 29,500 only options were all weather mats, Tow package and rear seat inverter. I had a 2700 price protection for having a 22 order pushed to 23 and I had a 500 rebate for Nevada Farm bureau member.. I paid 26,300 after rebate. I still have Carvana offers for 29500 . All the options just inflate the price and depreciate. I have the Cheapest Lariat Hybrid. This guy wanted out of his truck because he optioned it up with a bunch of pricey equipment. He doesn't want to keep it because he doesn't feel it's a 40k vehicle. That's why he's getting out of it. The Maverick isn't a good value with all the price increases currently.

    Ford Mustang mach- E 2023. Mileage Shock, Today I needed to run some very important errands. My mileage predictor show I had 30 miles. I connected my Ford provided charger in my garage. it malfunctioned. It has meed in the mid 50s fore-over 24 hrs. It is about 2:00 AM. I could not sleep. I traveled to a FREE charging station in town. I connected up. I seen the blue light by the charging port flashing. My car was charging. I listened to the radio and played games on a hand held device. After about an hour. I opened the car's charging screen. My car was charged to 30%. The mileage predictor stated I had 60 miles. I could not believe my eyes. When I charged at home before. I would get 3 miles per % of charge. I sat there until In charged to 50%. The predictor stated I had 100 miles of travel. When I charged at fast charged at the Meijer store. I pained $35.00 for 70% charge. 140 miles / $35 = $4.00 a mile.

    • @samwarren1429
      @samwarren1429 15 дней назад

      Your math is incorrect. 140 miles/$35 equals 4 miles per $ or 25 cents per mile. DC Fast charging is very expensive compared to home charging. Your Meijer store cost seems to me exorbitant. Free charging stations are usually 7kw Level 2 which is what the Ford branded charger will put out IF it's connected to a 240 volt NEMA 14-50 50 amp circuit. If you try to use a 30 amp circuit (like a Dryer circuit) with a 7 kw charger, it will trip the circuit. 7Kw will get you something like 20-24 miles range per hour charging. The Ford mobile charger will put out about 1.2 Kw when using the normal 110 volt wall outlet doing Level 1 charging. That will get you about 4 miles range per hour charging. That does not sound like much but if you are only driving 30-40 miles per day, it's fine. Your mileage prediction is a guess o meter (GOM) based on your previous driving and temperature. Driving around town or city driving and your GOM will go up, in part due to speed and regenerative braking. If you are driving highway speeds, it will go down.

I find it quite peppy . Great for shopping with the big rear seat and “ just sufficient “ for my small carpentry projects . I’m thinking of installing the “ elevate T slot rack system “ so I can carry stuff up to about 12 feet. That will suffice. Happily

It does not stay up to temperature if I'm cruising around much in electric mode. I was getting 41-44 MPG in the summer, but about 33-35 in the winter in SE Michigan.
