Do adding rear spoilers decrease range on Mach E

Depends on how much drag is adds. The more drag, the greater the impact to range.

I’m guess somewhere between 0 and 1 miles per charge. Probably closer to zero.

Unless it looks like this:

Not that I believe claims online trying to sell you something, but it even could increase range-

?well, our GT roof spoiler is the most we gonna go, nth more than that...for now.

back to the topic, we also install these spoilers we developed on our own Mach E, based on our daily use, the spoiler only affects the range by a small amount. especially with our V1, V2, OEM style spoilers, the range effects on those are even smaller.

Do you want the spoiler for looks or for efficiency or both?
Unless you are using the MME for commuting and need every mile you can get per Ford's EPA range......I don't think a rear spoiler will affect it much.....1-2 miles at the most....

Worst case scenario, any spoiler is removable with lots of "Goo Gone" after your test....

I added a spoiler. I can’t tell any difference. Of course I can’t seem to get the temperature, winds, and traffic to all stay the same. So maybe there is a difference but conditions changed so I’m not seeing it.

The purpose of a spoiler is to keep the wheels firmly on the pavement at high speeds. This car is so heavy that it's not necessary. Additionally any spoiler increases drag and thus cause more energy loss.

Aside: It's my opinion that spoilers of any kind are ugly and take away from the natural beauty of the body curves of the car.

Beauty is in the eye…..

That said I love my OEM style spoiler. Very subtle but adds to the lines nicely. And where it’s located, I don’t think much air hits it anyways.

When I took it off to reattach, my wife said the car looked “naked.” ?

It’s subtle but it’s there. This is when I was test fitting it.

Same shot without it:

I agree...Especially for the GT/GTPE....If it was meant to be a sports version of the MME, it should have came with some type of subtle spoiler....

For the regular Mom Pop commuters, they don't care for it......Like you sd, to each his/her own.....

That spoiler for your GT looks great

Yes, it's much more subtle than Tesla. The Tesla spoilers is one of the reasons I wouldn't even test drive them.

Really? I think the stock spoiler on the Model Y is pretty subtle as well. It’s also optional.

I added the AOSK and think it ties in quite nicely with the roof and taillight assemblies. No noticeable impact to range.

That looks nice. can you share the link where you purchased it from. Thanks
