I did... at our local event on the Santa Fe Plaza yesterday. It was a lot of fun! There were 2 new MMEs, my 2021 MME, two Lightnings, a Rivian, eTron, eHummer, Kia ev6, ID.4, the City's new eSchoolBus, and a host of Teslas.

My MME was the only one with any modifications, everybody else was 'stock'. I wanted to show off the SUV side of the MME and went with my bike rack in the tow hitch, a hatch tent and mattress in the back, ODB2 with CarScanner 'custom dashboard' displayed on my phone, and my little portable power pack in the Frunk powering an electric cooktop and teapot.

Ford Mustang Mach-E Anybody else show your MME at a DriveElectricWeek.org event? I did. MME set up at EVdriveDay

takes less than 3 minutes to pop up the tent....

people LOVED the story of my first mod.... freaking the Dealership out by drilling access holes in the beauty cover so I could get to the 12v connection points. Local Firefighters and EMT stopped by and loved the third access hole I added over the HV disconnect.

The only other vehicle there that had power EXPORT capability were the Lightnings.

Nobody took me up on cooking lunch or coffee, but it started a lot of conversation

I have found that if you turn the headrests upside down, and extend them.....



Ford Mustang Mach-E Anybody else show your MME at a DriveElectricWeek.org event? I did. headrest flip w mattress

They support the end of the mattress that would otherwise hang over the footwell



Ford Mustang Mach-E Anybody else show your MME at a DriveElectricWeek.org event? I did. mattress 6ft in MME

Pretty decent support for the entire 6 foot length of the mattress.

Ford Mustang Mach-E Anybody else show your MME at a DriveElectricWeek.org event? I did. EV info sign

...and the 'info board' I used to capture the FAQs:



Ford Mustang Mach-E Anybody else show your MME at a DriveElectricWeek.org event? I did. school bus w eHummer & eTron

The eHummer is GIANORMOUS


Ford Mustang Mach-E Anybody else show your MME at a DriveElectricWeek.org event? I did. school bus battery

226 kWhr school bus battery for a stated range of 138 miles



Ford Mustang Mach-E Anybody else show your MME at a DriveElectricWeek.org event? I did. school bus motor1


Ford Mustang Mach-E Anybody else show your MME at a DriveElectricWeek.org event? I did. school bus motor2

and a single motor rated at 230 kW output peak, which is just a little more than my combined motor output in a Select AWD. However, they have a massive cooling system so the continuous output is pretty high (no 5 second cap there!). A 2-speed transmission launches a loaded bus 0-60mph in a blistering 39 seconds. ;)

Careful with the headrests extended that way, we did that for camping in ours and put too much weight on one and the plastic internal part cracked.

mmmm, maybe a plywood 'extender' attached to the back of the seat would be better.... I was looking at the baby seat attachment points as a way to fasten.....

years past I would bring my eMiata to show what was possible with DIY conversions.... but the Mach-e was my choice this year as I wanted to show that it is possible to extract power from the big battery to do more than drive...

The Rivian has 120V outlets. Not sure about the Hummer.

I attended the show in Santa Fe Saturday (still waiting on my MME). Fun to see all the EVs. I was excited to learn about NM plans to put in level 3 chargers throughout rural New Mexico, especially one in Chama. That will help out a ton. The E-Tron was showing off the frunk with a Bernadoodle puppy. I think he got more interest than the car!

I was at the event in Exeter NH, 2 other MMEs, a host of Tesla, EV6, Lucid Air, Rivian, Zero Bike, and full dealer representation from Volvo, Audi and BMW with all of their EV and PHEV vehicles. Was a great time, I had to keep correcting the Tesla guy "Tesla's can plug and charge, no card or swipe needed at the charger..." I was like "yeah, most of the cars here can also do that...."

I did! Here in Columbus, Ohio. Showed off my very much stock family driver Select MME 2nd job '21 and got lots of attention by virtue of "being a Mustang, of all things!"

There were some awesome vehicles there - loads of Teslas of all ages, a gorgeous Lariat F-150, a brand new Bolt EUV - even a Tesla Roadster!

The show stopper for me were the three R1Ts there. Boys, I got home and immediately put in a deposit for one. Those things are sick.

Careful you might make them cry, they have to acknowledge that other EVs exist now

This Sunday, 10/9, I'm showing off our Mach-E at EcoFest in Encinitas. Friend of mine is one of the organizers, did it years ago when our 2011 Nissan Leaf was a new car.

Ours will be as-is, no mods, add-ons, cute puppies, shrimp-on-ice-in-the-frunk. etc. Or at least that's the plan for now. 🤔

And I confirmed my true calling, I should have been a Car Salesman, I would talk with people and then often say "you should actually go check out that EV, it might be a better fit for you" just trying to get people into the perfect car for them.
