You're right. Too many numbers in my head.

After the excellent conversation in this thread, and looking at future ICE repair bills, our family's driving needs, and a few other factors, we made the leap to become a 100% EV household a few weeks ago. We still have the 2021 MME but replaced my wife's ICE vehicle with a 2025 Audi Q4 e-Tron...

Thank you, everyone, for your input. We pulled the trigger on another EV a bit over two weeks ago and are now a 100% EV household. No charger overlaps thus far, especially given how little my wife drives day-to-day. I will still probably invest in the Grizz-E Duo or similar at some point...

2021 Job 1; received May 6th.

As Lee said, air filter is a good place to start. I've had the same in mine, as well as in ICE cars in the past.

PHEV is a potential option, as long as the battery is actually big enough for it to make sense. Good to hear that you're getting a good amount of efficiency.

So that'd be no different than my wife's ICE behavior. "I need gas" really means the low fuel light has been on for days, and you might need to push it to the gas station. :giggle:

One car inside the garage, one car outside. I'd need to pay for a partial run of new wire to get a charger setup outside. The good news is that 80% of the run is already there; it'd be pulling through wire with the addition of a bit more conduit + an outdoor plug (or direct wire.) I'm trying...

Already a happy owner of a '21 Job 1 and will drive it until the wheels fall off. The other car in the household is ICE, getting close to 100k in mileage, and will be a PITA to repair as it ages. It's been nice to have the ICE as an option for the 1-2 odd destinations where the charging...

Looks like ABRP might be getting some competition: https://insideevs.com/news/791556/google-maps-ev-route-planning-android-auto/

I don't think the integration is lost - I suspect it's a bug. Android Auto 16 is rolling out now, so bugs are expected as they slow work on older versions and bug fix on the newer. Ford probably has a Google contact, so hopefully it's being escalated on their end.

Are you using any 3rd party solutions for power/cost management like Optiwatt? I was using it through my power provider and found it interfered with the ability to have departure times functioned as desired. Once I disabled it, all was good.

I hit 8% last night at 5F by the time I got home. No turtle mode, but I did receive two different messages. The first was to turn down/minimize usage of the climate system, and the second was when I parked to shut off the car, and if I wanted to continue to use the HVAC, to plug-in. (I...

And they might also be the same people who drive their ICE car with the fuel light on as long as they can :crackup:

The EV genie is out of the bottle, despite what the current US political climate is. EVs make much more economic, environmental, and "user experience" sense than ICE in the long-term. China (and other countries) understand this, and if the US automakers (who have a large global customer base)...

89.5% at 68,000 miles on a 2021 Job 1. It's improved by 0.5% over the past few months, and I imagine if I did a full calibration, I'd probably eek out another 1%-2%.

It will soon be known colloquially as "douchebag mode" - for those drivers who insist on weaving in and out of traffic, just to gain a few car lengths while they're trying not to be late to their latest alimony trial.

I think Ford has a unique opportunity to really craft not only existing experiences but also feed their future products with what the members of this forum bring to the table. The variety of feedback, experiences, and perspectives - all generally done respectfully, is lightning in a bottle (no...

The lack of preconditioning for older VWs, leading someone to take drastic action: https://insideevs.com/news/774611/vw-id3-id4-skoda-enyaq-battery-preconditioning-mod/ I've been in a few situations where it's cold, Ford or Google do not have a charger in their maps, and I've had to have...

This just happened to me last week, but I luckily found the pin and the rubber sleeve and was able to get it back in. There were no breaks on the pin itself, nor the place where it is supposed to be on the door, so am not sure why it fell out. It's still loose, but it won't budge, but am...
