Bro. Cancel. Your. Order.

You don't even have a GT on order and don't have any skin in the game, why don't you go post in the 4x threads?

People have a right to be frustrated at the current information and Ford's complete radio silence. Making ridiculous excuses on Ford's behalf isn't useful.

Yeah, they will fix it. Probably silently, if current and recent history are an indication.

Not even sure anything needs "fixed"? Could be a lot of things holding things back from the 72% state of charge to battery not being at optimal temps to something funny going on with what Ford has in the brains of the beast in those particularly situations for SoC and Temp and such. Just a handful of runs I don't think gives a good clue of what it's got or what it takes to see what it's got.

One of the problems is there's so much speculation within 4 days of initial results on one single car.

It would be great to get on the track again - but for me in Iowa, "local" tracks (a) hard to arrive fully charged and (b) private rental is $2K, so have to wait until I can fit in on test time in the next couple of weeks.

Or of course, if Ford wants to pay for that private track rental, I'd take a day off for that!

Would it be acceptable to you if your car trapped 113 with 95% SoC but 100 with 60-75 SoC?

Edit: Mods or Frankie removed his post so I’m gonna quote it myself for posterity:

“You don't even have a GT on order and don't have any skin in the game, why don't you go post in the 4x threads?”

Wtf are you, the forum police? You’re showing everyone here who you really are now, buddy. I’m in the market for a GT350 when I decide to sell my SS sedan soon enough. And, depending on how the GTPE shakes out I could absolutely see buying one or trading her 4X in for one. And I came into the thread because I have over 1000 1/4 time slips in a shoebox and found it interesting.

So, how about you browse on over to the Accord forums and tell everyone there how 2.0Ts can gap MME GTPEs.

I don't have an Accord. I do have a GT500 and a GTPE order though, so I'll probably keep posting here.

I'll go ahead and put you on ignore though so I stop cluttering up the thread responding to your silly excuses and Ford apologism.

I find it funny 2.0T motors keep getting clowned in this thread. The GTI that I just sold, I have old time slips of that 2.0T (modified) running a very similar time to what OP posted, just a little slower through the 8th but a better trap speed, yet similar time at the 1/4. But I'm just going to keep my mouth shut..... wait... oops

My point though, the 2.0T platform is a very strong motor when modded. Dont sleep on it

The reference is to a bone stock 2.0T Accord being faster than a GTPE on a roll. And the ongoing internet meme of “but an Accord V6 is faster” on countless forums and web article comments. Mods are a different story for sure.

See pic. Stage 2 Ron Watson pro tuned, bolt ons and E60. 1.65 60fts on moderately hard 4.5K launch. 12.0s@115+ mph. Stock internals 2.0T FA motor.

I am not sure even that is something one could expect to be constant over life of car. Ford is just getting into all these things and it's really difficult to say what they are doing with how things perform across the SoC, or if those would remain from one update to the next. I don't even suspect the funny charging regime of the Mach-E is anything they intend to keep as a long term approach.....sort get impression that might be some initial in the market study where they want some things kept constant before they decide how aggressive to juice things long term.

May also just be something funny with everything on this day at the track. I would think anyone with a normal Mach-E on here who has the right equipment could run one of those at a few states of charge and see if anything funny goes on. Would guess any funny power modifications for battery management could be carried over maybe.

It's generally more than one would expect as far as capability of the battery itself at these different SoCs. Tesla seems to only lose 5-10mph between 100 and 20% from what I have seen. So 10+ at 72% seems it might be more than the SoC...but could just be something to do with other things...but it generally seems fishy a GT is in same trap ballpark as the normal Mach-E.

Well, aren't you the pot calling the kettle black.

 

[MG101]

Well, aren't you the pot calling the kettle black.

For real though. 500 1/4 mile pass minimum to be able to have a valid opinion here.

 

[Pushrods&Capacitors]

Explain to me how that is. I didn’t report him. I just stooped to his level with the ongoing 2.0T comment. If someone tells me to leave a forum because of whatever reason you better damn well believe I’ll invite them to do the same.
