I’m on my second 2021 Premium 4x due to a distracted driver. Up to 38k. Really happy!

I'm at 33k miles. I absolutely love it and feel spoiled to have such a fun car.
Wow! I remember you saying you don’t have much of a commute and you have more miles than I do!!!!

Driving my kid around to school and all of her extra curriculars adds a lot of miles. I've also had some fun long road trips. I enjoy every mile of it, though. Fast charging on road trips isn't as easy as a gas car, but it isn't too bad. The worst part is waiting at full charging stations for an open spot.

Anyone replace tires yet? I'm going to have to soon. Really disappointed they don't last longer.

I heard somewhere that OEM tires tend to wear out faster as they have not a lot of tread on them, because it makes it easier for the manufacturer to meet all the EPA requirements, get good range numbers and all that.

And we all know EVs chew through tires.

I switch to winter tires and wheels in the winter so my tires are still viable but I'll probably replace them with Hancooks just before winter.

I am also getting ready to replace my tires. At 34k miles and my tread is about down to the wear bar. I am researching my next set.

Let me know which ones you decide on. I can't believe how badly mine have worn and I'm NOT an aggressive driver at all.

Hey all! Just checking in. My car has been in the shop again this time for 5 weeks straight. I just initiated a buy back and am super sad about it. How's everyone else holding up?

Oh no! That's terrible. What has been wrong with your pony? If you get the buy-back completed, you should take off the hitch in case you get another Mach E.

I didn’t know removing it was an option!!! Eek

The AC system had to be completely replaced. I’ve had so many little things then this big thing makes me wonder

I travel desolate roads - 395 and the 2/8/10 to visit family - I don’t want to be stranded in the middle of nowhere

Sorry to hear you've had so many problems, Kismet. Mine's approaching 50K miles and has been very reliable.

Finally got the HVBJB recall done this summer (my car was built I figure about a week before they started using the improved part at the factory).

I use winter tires in the snowy months so my factory tires are just now getting a little squirrelly in the rain so I'll replace them pretty soon. They're not down to wear bars yet but I'm finicky about traction.
