Here in Truckee CA on I80 the Ford Pass app shows 1 of the 3 Tesla charging stations. It is the newer one which has over half the installed capacity. I would say we now have more charging stations Than gas pumps. Found some medium speed Chargepoint stations I didn’t know existed since I just...

Love that Colorado powder

New Tesla stations are reconfigured to accommodate Mach-e

All weather tires are not that good in snow and ice. There is another grade of tires called All Conditions with a mountain snd snowflake symbol. These can be used year-round as opposed to Winter tires which must be removed for the summer. Michelin X-Climate and Goodyear weather ready are 2...

My old Rav4 did not come with heated seats. Dealer got a shop to add them to the front for $800 in 2016 in Reno NV.

I have both vehicles in my garage right now. I and my wife both find the MME far superior to the CRV driver assistance in many ways. Both stop working when we get a lot of snow.

One thing to remember is that MME displays % battery charge, which is based on temperature. It is not displaying kWhr. As your garage and battery heat up the capacity of the battery increases. So the same amount of charge registers a lower %. I wish we had an easy way to measure the amount of...

Was driving near the Tesla factory in Fremont. Local small strip mall has new superchargers installed but not activated. Many are turned 90deg and 2’ away from the curb. They line up nicely with our charge ports. Sorry I didn’t take a pic

I have found that Ford software is now the best at finding chargers. Have heard lots of horror stories about charging in SoCal area from people I have met at chargers in PNW.

There is a slider on the rear view camera screen to turn off the auto stop feature.

Headwinds could be it If you are not at 50% at Auburn, charge for 10 min.

I believe it is mostly a SoCal problem. From Truckee CA on I80 to San Jose CAand then north to Tacoma WA on I5, no waits. Several locations were in limp mode and these were full, but still no line. EA charges $.48 in Washington where electricity is on $.13. Sutherlin OR in the middle of nowhere...

Michelin X-climate in 245-50-19. Fantastic snow and normal road performance. Downside is that we lost about 15% in actual range. I’ll trade it for safety. The MME handles more like a Mustang with these tires. Had to move up in width to get XL weight rating. Can by them at Costco for a good price.

Just keep driving it like an old fashion ICE car.

Do they show up in the Mach-e navigation or do you have to use plugshare to find them?
