    What a Difference New Tires Make -- Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 tires

    Does 10% track with what you're seeing? I've spent a little while looking at this point and it just doesn't seem like there's anything that really has the tradeoff I'm looking for. Was also looking at the PS-4 AS but from what I've seen those can have an even bigger hit on range and are a bit...

    What a Difference New Tires Make -- Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 tires

    I'm in the same position. Stock tires have held up pretty well for 45k miles. Also looking at the CC2s but I've seen some people say they're loud and can be a 10-15% range hit.

    Ceramic coating and PPE services in RTP/GSO NC area?

    I got XPEL + ceramic coating from XPEL of the Triad in Winston-Salem. A bit farther than the area you mentioned, but they were great to work with. If you go to the main XPEL site and look for service centers you may be able to find one closer.

    Mach-E fan club in Raleigh, NC??

    Seconding this. It had looked like my Palsapp tracking had stalled and then I got a call that my Mach E had arrived and was ready to pick up.

    CLT Area GT Intro and First Road Trip

    Nice. Enjoy your ride! I haven't had any issues going around NC. Every EA DCFC and every ChargePoint L2 destination charger I've tried to use has worked flawlessly. There was a program kicked off a while ago where they were adding DCFC in more rural areas to enable EVs to travel more places...

    DC Charging in the Asheville area besides Sam's Club?

    That EA station at Sam's Club has a reliability score of 10 on PlugShare. I just did a 1700 mi trip using exclusively EA and didn't have any issues charging. It really did a lot to build my confidence in EA. IF that isn't working, it looks like there's a 25kW charger at the local Chevy dealer...

    SM 49810 - Buzz Noise From The Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC)

    No. It does seem like it comes and goes which I don't really get. It's not bad enough that I feel like I need to take it into the dealership, but it is something that I'll bring up when I do my 10k service.

    SM 49810 - Buzz Noise From The Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC)

    I haven't checked these forums in a while. I had my screen replaced back in March ( High-pitched "Electrical Whine" | Page 26 | Ford Mustang Mach-E Forum - MachEforum.com ). Sounds like I got off lucky... The new screen helped but didn't eliminate the while. I didn't have any of the software...

    Model S Plaid & Mach E Rt 1 Roadtrip by MKBHD

    I think it was a pretty fair test that ended up showing the worst case outcome for the Mach E. Some road trips are either harder or straight up not possible in a non-Tesla EV. That's the reality of where things are. Anything that pressures/shames non-Tesla companies to do better is positive...

    World EV Day

    Happy World EV Day. I'm heading to my parents' at the end of the month and already have a few people lined up that want to see/drive/ride in my Mach E

    Considering buying a Mach E, a couple questions for current owners....

    Can't comment on all of your points but here's my 2c Q) How helpful is Ford service when it comes to servicing the Mach E? Are there enough mechanics trained in servicing EV's at Ford dealerships? A) My dealer has been very helpful. I could tell they really want me to have a good ownership...

    BlueCruise almost here... are you in or out?

    I'm gonna be giving a shot. Figure I'll buy the 3 year pass or w/e and then re-evaluate. I doubt I'll use it that much because I don't take too many long trips. I do have a 1k mile trip coming up at the end of the month (NC - PA - NY and back) and it'd be nice to have for that. I won't hold...

    PPF Installers around Charlotte/Cornelius NC

    The XPEL site has a tool for finding installers. XPEL Clear Bra Installers | United States | North Carolina I live in the Triad and went with their recommendation (X-PEL of the Triad) and had a great experience.

    Lots of DCFC Coming Soon in NC

    Oh man. The Statesville station coming online is going to be nice.

    Trip on the Blue Ridge Parkway

    I drove a leg of the Blue Ridge Parkway last weekend and thought I'd share some of the details in case anyone else wanted to make the trip. I charged to 80% at the Circle K just off I-77, it's 50kW and only has one stall, but was open when I went. Then got on the BRP near the VA boarder. I...
