1968 Ford Mustang — would a large MSRP cut make you wait before buying?

Price cuts and incentives are good for new buyers but can hit recent owners resale hard. How much do you consider potential manufacturer price moves when buying a newer EV or luxury car? Mileage is about 24,000.

Don't clear the alert just to make the screen pretty. Leave the alerts on the 1968 Ford Mustang so service can see what you saw. I'd do that before spending real money. Was this after sitting overnight? Video is ugly but it shows the hesitation.

Charge curves lie if you don't match starting SOC and temp. Match starting SOC and battery temp if you're comparing 1968 Ford Mustang charge sessions. Then you'll know the next fork. I'd want a dollar figure or a measured spec, not 'should be fine.' A day of patience here is cheaper than a wrong part. I'd rather pay for diagnosis than a second guess-repair.

Cleared nothing. I want service to see the alert on the 1968 Ford Mustang first. Video is ugly but it shows the hesitation.

OP update: scanned the 1968 Ford Mustang again and still only have the one pending code, no new lights. I'm keeping receipts and dates in one folder.

Low-voltage gremlins will strand you even with a full pack. Try a second charger before blaming the 1968 Ford Mustang — site sharing and pack temp change the curve a lot. That's where I'd start. Did the worksheet show tax yet? This is the version I'd tell a friend.
