It is common to see Select / Premium Mach Es with decals applied to the front bumper to mimic the faux grille on the GT. I have never really liked the GT grille since EVs don't need a grille and I don't need to be convinced that it's a cool car by making it look more like an ICE Mustang. I wish...
This very likely is just a sensor issue, but it may be something like the resolver (rotor position sensor) inside the motor, and it is easier to replace the entire motor than to replace the sensor alone. Other potential issues are a loose connection in the high voltage system, and intermittently...
If Munro were to actually have input into the design of an electric vehicle, it would have the bare minimum amount of fasteners, all delicate high voltage connections in the electronics would be friction/pressure fit with no permanent mechanical connections, the dedicated oil cooling system...
I read your replies and understand that you are a fellow mechanical engineer with lots of DIY experience, but just to give another opinion...
Typical deceleration during a low speed vehicle accident will exceed 30Gs. Multiply your weight by 30 and that is the load the seat brackets need to...
I would guess that the Mach E is too new to be an option in whatever dyno software they are using and they just chose the next closest option. The Model X has over 500 HP and more torque, so I would expect it to perform better than these numbers if they were showing previous Model X results and...
Still no specific mention of an illuminated front pony emblem as either standard or an option on the GT. It's hard to tell from these new photos, but it does look like the outline is white and would illuminate like the blue mach e gt press photo shown last week.
This is not true. Power in and power out are two completely different chemical reactions in a lithium ion battery. Discharging power is an exothermic chemical reaction that the cell materials and other barriers are naturally designed to perform. Charging power is an endothermic reaction with a...
The site says that it will automatically pause EV charging when you run the appliance, then restart the charger when you turn the appliance off t prevent this.
I was thinking wiring something like this (only with a 6-50 plug) to the back of the charger, then just plugging it into the wall.

Would it be possible to just install a NEMA 6-50 male pigtail on the back of the Ford charger and then plug it into an existing 6-50 outlet? I already have a 60 Amp 240V outlet on a dedicated circuit in my garage for my TIG welder, and it would be nice be able to just reuse that since I will...
The Taycan can go to FWD mode to get a range improvement because it has a rear 2 speed transmission that can go to neutral. This allows the rear motor to be disconnected completely, meaning the vehicle doesn't have to spin the motor at all while moving. This saves electrical energy by not having...
If you look at the connected vehicle section of the spec sheet, the GT model says that it gets "Next Generation Sync 4a" while all of the other models just say "Sync 4a".
I chose AWD because I live in Michigan and will be selling my FJ Cruiser 4x4 to finance a Mach E. I also wanted better acceleration performance from AWD.
I chose the small "standard" range battery because my daily commute is only 50 miles and I will be able to charge both at home and at work...
