I'll agree we all hope it gets better after 80%, but we were talking about advertised speeds. Of which, Ford has promised 45 minutes from 10-80%. (ER battery) We've seen in a few videos that seems to be the case.

I was also referencing those same videos. ;) The Tom Moloughney one is the one where I believe he said he thought a true 10-80% would be 40 minutes. There's also a lot of data on this thread here.

I'll have to disagree with you there. So far, as far as I know, TFL is the worst experience we've seen. We've seen the plug and charge work seamlessly, and we've seen a few videos where the speed is right on point for that 10-80% in 45 minutes. And I think there's even one video when they...

Have you seen the TFL video where the MY charged below 70kw? (Now I think that video was a bad showing for both of those cars. The batteries were cold. And I'm not convinced they had a MME that had plug and charge activated.)

I don't believe they do have plug and charge yet. I believe this is Kyle just starting the charge from the app. If you pull into a charging stall at EA, you can start the charge session from your phone. Then you can get out and plug in. I believe this is what he did in this video. Could be...

This is the first standard range car I've seen be charged. However there are plenty of videos showing the extended range charging faster then what he said he got. I think it comes down to battery temperature. I know he said he has a heated garage, but I don't even keep my house warm enough in...

If it's the performance you're worried about; that's fast charging on a cold battery. I know they drove far, but unless they were tearing it, those batteries on both cars are going to be cold. You can see it in the MY, too. Charging for more than 8 minutes would have let the battery warm up and...

This is what my post was about. Obviously, do what you're comfortable with. But, once you plug in, go inside and use the restroom, and buy yourself a water it's time to go back to your car and find your next stop. I never sit and eat. Although you definitely could if you wanted to drive longer...

After doing some trips in a BEV, I much prefer them. It's a much more relaxing experience. I prefer the charger hopping method that Kyle from Out of Spec does. Drive 2 hours or so and take a 20 minute break. It gets rid of the "get-thereitis" and makes for a much more relaxed drive. For me, anyway.

This is absolutely not correct. There's a significant gap in the northern midwest and that's about it. I've said this before. I've been in road trips in a M3 and I'd much rather do a road trip on the EA network over the Supercharger network.

My friend tried to trade in his M3 for a MY. When the MY came in, the back lift gate wouldn't auto close. He said you could clearly see the back end was misaligned. It would close if you pushed on it, but not by itself. Tesla salesman (not a dealer) told him they would fix it and it would take...

If it's only 200 amps then many Tesla users won't use it. I'm fine with that.

No, as far as I know you need one. But to put it on, they just drill holes into the front of the car. There are other aftermarket options that don't require drilling holes into your brand new car.

The one thing that gets me about range is that Tesla used a rated range calculator. What that means is that when a Tesla's battery is full, the car says it has the full EPA range. For example, the AWD ER MME would show 270 mi at 100% battery. That means in conditions like in the video (mid 20s...

Depends on the integration of the route planning with the charge level. I'd pay for Tesla's route planner. Nothing on Android or Apple can even come close. If the MME has that level of ease and usefulness, then I would have no problem paying. All that being said, in 3 years there very well...

I'd have to agree with you after reading it again. I just had remembered reading about the key blade, but since I have no intention of using Mykey, I just skimmed the section.

I'll have to do a search, but I thought it was the Mykey. I had assumed that, like all Ford pushbutton cars, there would be an alternative spot to insert the Mykey. Give me a bit to search.... Edit: Starts on page 66 of the owners manual.

I thought it was part of the Ford Mykey system

I'll mostly watch their videos for the subjective things like this.

I've enjoyed watching their electric car coverage. They really fell flat on their "Unbiased Reviews" tag line, but it's a Tesla world out there. I'll be surprised if they finish the week and give any comparisons to Ford over Tesla. They already said their going to compare it to the performance...
