  1. Does one-pedal drive strain electric motors/gear train?

    You don't appear to understand what was being referred to. Your statement supports his, not refutes it. 1PD in a Mach E uses regen, then friction brakes as required braking forces increase (if they even do for a given event.) 2PD ALSO uses regen, of the same amount, as 1PD.
  2. Anyone Attemped a Brake stand?

    You can stand on the brakes in a MMEGT, and floor the accelerator, and nothing much happens other than you can feel the car sort of tense up. In my now-current i4m50 doing that starts launch control.
  3. Stolen out of my locked garage

    You don't want the car back at this point. I agree its frustrating that the thieves will likely get away with it, but your car is likely trashed, one way or another. I suspect that if you were dealing with a small-town local police or county Sheriff, your experience would be more positive...
  4. Don’t get run over!

    We love it. It has been flawless, not a single issue nor day in service since purchase. Its much faster at highway speeds than the MMEGT, and about the same below 60mph. The ride is way smoother, with fabulous damping, little harshness, etc. Kind of opposite of the MMEGT which rides like...
  5. Don’t get run over!

    Todd, I had a great (was it, really??) time working with you and a couple of other guys (Sam and Ben, not sure if they are around any more) trying to resolve that Bluecruise failure after doing FDRS updates. The one that turned out to be related to the IPC update that appeared to somehow break...
  6. Just picked up my new 2022 Mach E GT with some personalized touches. I love it!!

    I like the red badges. Don't understand why you would want a big red X on the side of it though.
  7. Now That's Performance! KIA EV6 GT - 165MPH Extreme Thermal Test

    Local places (Cincinnati area) are advertising ~$345/month leases at 3 year 12k/year with $8600 down on Kia EV6 GT. Not that I am in the market, but its a heck of a lease deal.
  8. MachE GT/GTPE Performance Limiters Explained

    My 2021 GT used to get poodlebars at EVERY start event when the car was switched off for more than ~ 2 minutes. I could run into a convenience store (usually for beer LOL) and come out, and it would have ~8 bars, regardless of ambient temp. They would typically last for a good 5 minutes of...
  9. After your current MME, What is your next EV?

    After I sold my MMEGT, purchased a BMW i4 M50.
  10. L2 Charging Level Not as High as L1?

    Your battery health will be better long-term if you charge to a maximum of 80-90% and don't run it down below 15% or so. Charging to 100% and running it nearly dry will cause greater capacity loss over time. Depending on how long you plan to keep the car, you may or may not care.
  11. Are there TWO GT Performance Editions?

    Unbridled Extend is also nigh on useless. It makes the car slower, in an effort to allow for extended (hence the name) track usage. Which basically no one does. The regular Unbridled mode is much preferable for street driving.
  12. (solved) My mach e door trim started falling apart

    Scroll up, therein lie your answers.
  13. Navigation direction box stuck on HUD

    go into Nav system, select a destination, start the route, then cancel destination. should "reset" everything.
  14. Why is the wireless charging so bad?

    My BMW i4 M50 wireless charging sucks on my Android S10. My Mach E GT was about the same. Neither car will charge enough to keep up with the phone's usage while running Waze on Android Auto. I suppose it could be my phone or case, but I have a wireless charger at home that works just fine on...
  15. I Test-Drive a BMW i4 eDrive 40 with M Packages

    The BMW does indeed ride much much smoother than the Mach E, particularly in the rear seats (if you can fit back there, as others have noted.) Ford can and should improve the ride quality.
