The early model Mach Es (21-22) definitely have inadequate heating in extreme cold due to a too small inline heater. When it is cold (like the -35F it is today here), I normally drive the Lightning which has MUCH better heating. In either car, when running errands, I do leave it running by...

Correct.

I probably passed by a lot of you. I was going to visit Quebec and New England but cut the corner to make sure I reached StarBase in time for the launch.

I always planned my overnight stays based upon DC fast charging availability. At the end of each day, I'd charge to 80% or the amount needed to reach my first charger the next day, whichever was greater. I didn't plan any level 1\2 charging stops. I just used them if I got there and they were...

They are my favorite as long as they pay the rent ON TIME. For accommodation, I would book 3- or 4-days' worth of rooms in advance using Google maps to search for major hotel chains nearby to my last charger of the day. In a number of cases, there were Tesla super chargers in the hotel parking...

Enter the Brand Name: BFDQWR in the Amazon search. Starlink Mini Mount Magnetic Mount Kit. It is very well made.

FYI. Most of the alternative charging options, i.e. RV parks, are closed between mid Sep to mid May.

OldF111Flyer I just finished the reverse trip via the Cassier highway in my Mach E. You can find a summary here. https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/circumnavigating-north-america-in-a-mach-e-trip-report-summary.50938/ I am working on a separate, more complete submission specifically...

I tested before hand and could never get the Starlink to work reliably from the inside of the Mach E. It works fine from inside my Lightning pointing thru the sunroof, but I tried having the Starlink look thru the windshield, sunroof, and rear windows of the Mach E to no avail. I believe that...

I'll write a separate thread about driving to and within Alaska in an EV soon.

At first, I was limited by the few DC charging options and the distance between the chargers, so I tended to charge whenever a charger was there regardless of charge state and I would charge to the 90%+ range. After a few days the charging options became more plentiful and I shifted to...

There are 5 free level 2 Tesla destination chargers in the Margaritaville Hotel\Sapphire condos garage (if you are staying there). If you don't have a Tesla-J1772 adapter, one of the chargers does have a J1772 connector. If you aren't staying there, there is a level 2 Chargepoint in the public...

I'll see if I can build it into a proper story for you. @Ford Motor Company In exchange for the story, will Ford agree to add the HVB's actual kWh remaining to the driver display or the main display? 🤨

I didn't sell it. I gave it to a young member of the family who lives at a second home I own in Seattle.

I stayed next door at The Sapphire condominiums. They share a garage that has 5 free Tesla destination chargers.
