I thought the original plan was for dealers to get theirs first as part of the FCTP. They can't sell these cars until they reach a certain time frame/mileage number. However, Ford decided, with the delays, to start shipping customer cars along with dealer cars. I'm sure someone here can correct...

I did mean credit card. The reliability of credit card readers on EVSEs seems remarkably low to me. I'm sure it's gotten better, but I've been burned a few too many times to not have an app or RFID. Although I stopped carrying RFID cards and just use my phone now and that has worked great so far.

I was at an EA station with a person who could not get their credit card to read. Called EA, had them reset it and still couldn't get it to work. After a short conversation with him, I tapped my phone and it started instantly. While there is always a way, it isn't necessarily a good way...

I placed these in the silver thread the other day... Oops...

My only hesitation with this would be most of the problems I've seen people have at charging stations is trying to pay with a card. It's such a simple thing, but for some reason charge companies just can't seem to make it work reliably. Having a secondary way to start a charge session is, in my...

I was about to say the same thing. I've seen one Mach E and a handful of Bolts. Never had more than two cars, including myself, charging at the same time. I know that will change as more BEVs come to market, but I'd rather EA fill in their gaps first then upgrade the stations that may need more...

Definitely looked a lot darker in person. But I'll add them to that forum!

Captured at the Blue Huron service center east of Toledo on the Ohio Turnpike.

My car isn't scheduled to be built until mid February. I doubt dealers will have stock before orders are filled.

I don't own a Tesla, never have, but I've done a few trips in a M3. Maybe it's just me, but the supercharger network isn't all it's cracked up to be. I've said this before on this forum somewhere, but unless it's the new V3 superchargers, then I'd rather use EA. The older superchargers share...

Yeah, my current car is a BEV, a Hyundai Ioniq. But it can also comes in a hybrid trim and a PHEV trim. So I'm sure they reused some technology. My only unknown is exactly what you said though. My electric car reads off of driving history. When you reset that efficiency reading, you seem to...

Really? I live in Allen Park and I would have said I've seen a lot of them. Though, admittedly, this is the first time I've actually been on the look out for a new car.

I get what you're saying. And I'm sure if you wanted to drive 11 miles on the highway that day, 2.1 mi/kwhr might have been pretty accurate. Merge that number with all the city driving you're surely doing and you'll have much better efficiency. Back to my first post though, if you're doing any...

Yes, so I'm not reading too much into a 2.1 mi/kwhr reading after 11 miles. Raining or not.

FWIW, my Ioniq only resets the efficiency after a charge, but a lot of fast chargers are right off the highway. I have no knowledge of this or any evidence to back it up or anything for the MME, but my Ioniq resets to 0 mi/kwhr. What does that mean? Well it takes about 30 miles of driving for...

Honestly, the charging rate seems fine, if a bit conservative. I seem to remember reading somewhere that Ford really doesn't want you fast charging past 80% simply because it's really bad for the battery life. We're seeing them be really conservative with this car. It wouldn't be a huge...

I don't think they will either.

Yeah, what would rub me the wrong way was if the 2022 MME came out and had Dog mode or camping mode or something else that doesn't get pushed to my 2021 model.

From what I understand it was a COVID thing. Since they had to split up the press events, they wanted to give everybody time to get their reviews done.

I think we're dancing around the same bush here. If Ford can do enough to keep my car feeling relevant for five years, then I would have no problems getting a new one for the improved processing power or new tech of the day, whatever that may be.
