I still have people admiringly asking me what my car is. Even walking across the lot to talk to me as I get in or out. A few people have told me the MME is on their wish list. Which I think translates to: they want one but can't afford it (or don't think they can). So yah the reduced tax credit...
I really like the drive mode/style options on this car. To add to the chorus: My primary drive mode is Engage with 2PD. I like it to feel like a "regular" car (makes it easy for other non-EV folks to drive it as well). When I'm feeling impatient (lots of passing), I change to Unbridled (I do...
Hey any day now the battery breakthrough could arrive that accelerates that time table. No one knows the future. Things change. I'm Captain Obvious, how are you? 😜
Oh and I want this thing....
I had someone in a beautiful GT (or maybe a Mach-1) follow me for a while on the highway the other day. I know it would not be practical but I'd love to see those as an EV. Maybe I am now a bit biased but I really love the styling on the modern Mustangs. It would be a shame for that design to go...
Ha! I see your point. I was thinking about damage to the battery though. Even without pack damage, all the sensors and tech in cars today, drive train agnostic, makes for lofty repair costs for certain.
If you are a young employee at a car dealership, get some training on DCFC service and/or installation. In fact, Ford et al should pay for that training. Though I recall Farley saying Ford simply won't be able to train up everyone from the inside. Some of this stuff is just too specialized.
On a side note, the Model Y outsold the Corolla in Q1 by around 10 thousand units. The Corolla is sold in about 70 more countries and costs half of what a base Y costs. You can look at that from a BEV vs ICEV perspective or dealership vs no dealership.
I had a good dealership experience buying...
Right. I don't envy anyone who is at fault in a two car accident with a BEV. Glad the OP got their car back. Amazing that hot mess of engineering can be repaired.
I was just in the car. I went through the meager number of settings available in the car's Waze app and their was no option to disable the "Drive Now" pop up.
Not having connection issues but the software freezes up daily and constantly fails to load the bottom two tiles. So overall it's a mess.
Out of curiosity, which phone are you using?
So today marks a year to the day that I picked up my MME. I did 16,824 miles (46.1 miles/day) in Year 1. Very happy with the car. Only spent $19.99 on a tire rotation and $45 on inspection, both covered with Ford Pass Points. Looking forward to BC 1.2 and access to Supercharges.
My only real...
Just got the same message in my FP app. They are in it now 😜. We are going to make Tesla owners' lives miserable, muhahaha 😁😈. Oh, I mean what a glorious day for all CCS BEV owners! Kumbaya!
Ugh, late to the opinion party. Well like with all things BEV, a year is a virtual lifetime away. With the speed things have been changing in batteries, charging and BEVs, I'm not even going to try and predict how this will all shake out in 2025.
Right now, with things warming up, I'm just...
