The reviewer highlights that Ford dealerships are attempting to charge $10,000-$15,000 over MSRP for the Mach-E, despite the vehicle not yet being launched. Ford's response that dealerships and customers determine the final price is noted, with a suggestion to find a dealer who won't 'fleece' buyers. Other key stories include Tesla's software update increasing Supercharging speeds for certain Model S and X vehicles to 225 kW, and the NHTSA's investigation into eMMC failures in older Model S cars. The review also touches on Apple's new EV route planning feature in iOS 14 and a humorous anecdote about Tesla's Autopilot mistaking a Burger King logo for a stop sign, leading to a marketing campaign offering free burgers.
