Okay,
Long story short, 2nd MME, 1st real road-trip in 6+ years. Had my 2nd HVJB failure, 12 days before my trip. Brought the car in and had to hound the Service Advisor every day. Got my car back 5 hours before I had to leave. Added a level of stress that didn’t need to be there.
1200+...
I know that the instructions for these assume that you are going to remove to replace the side badging, and that is how almost everyone does it. I wanted to actually add to, not replace, the side badges. I was concerned about the amount of space available, that actually turned out to not be a...
Hey all!
So, I haven’t really gotten a chance until now to take some pictures of my girl after a decent wash. I’m so thrilled to introduce you all to Misty!
Hey all,
Okay, so I bought a 21 GTPE about a month ago. Software is severely out of date, and modules probably so behind that they won’t ever get OTA. All of this I expect and can kind of tolerate.
However, this thing charges on DCFC like a wounded dog. Best peak I have gotten was 72 kw on...
It doesn’t bother me too much, and I totally understand that there are a lot of factors at play. However, the unnamed T company could and did unlock performance on some of their vehicles after purchase as a cynical money grab. I know some folks (like me in the past) tend to drive a car until it...
Don’t know how smart this was…but I traded I’m my 2021 Select AWD with 24k miles on it, and bought a used 2021 GTPE CPO with 2400 miles on it in perfect condition. 62k retail, 2 years of maintenance. I really wanted the extra range, the BlueCruise and the extra performance, and it’s pretty...
I’m intending to keep this car going for a while. I know someone here has reached 60k with the MME, with no major problems. At this point, the options that are coming out in the somewhat near future aren’t particularly compelling to me. I understand about battery degradation, so I know at...
I know these forums can lead people to believe that the car has so many issues that it almost seems like owners don’t love this car. I don’t think that is actually true though. After a year and a half of ownership, 23k miles, and a few minor road trips, I’m still in love with this car...
…thinking about different cars. This is it for me, I’m stuck with my 21 base Select AWD. I have a deposit/reservation for a Blazer EV SS, a deposit/reservation for a Fisker PEAR, a deposit for a base Maverick XL Hybrid that has just been built, and a reservation for my partner’s Fisker Ocean...
Hey all,
For the past few weeks, my FMC has started charging fine (blue bar all across),but after about an hour or so, seems to reduce charging speed to about 3 kWh per hour. I have gone outside at the approximately the end of the charge session, and have blue light with amber on one side...
Hey all,
Last year I had a NEMA 14-50 receptacle installed by a licensed electrician who is very skilled. I typically have my FMC plugged in most of the time. Everything has been working great. The receptacle is outside, in a waterproof housing box. I live in a place that doesn’t see much rain...
Hi all,
I was excited about the Ocean. Made a reservation for my girlfriend, then converted it to a binding order to attempt to maintain EV tax credit. In the meantime, gf leased a CX-5 because she just needed a new car.
As time goes by, feeling less and less enthusiastic about the vehicle...
Hi,
Just wanted to drop my perspective, coming from almost a year and a half of ownership.
Still obsessed with and love my Mach-E. Other than the HVJB crapping out once, and replaced with the B variant, car has been trouble-free. Did the glass recall, and got the second fob, which I have...
21 Select AWD here. One of my job sites, that I commute to once a week, is 55 or so miles away. I’ve been easily making this round trip with 85 percent charge in the spring/summer. End up back at home above 30 percent, I charge at home mostly. I don’t like to charge over 85 percent to...
Hi all,
No one in the car was "small". 2021 Select AWD. Since I basically use this as a commute car, and if there is a passenger, it's typically my gf, I have never really noticed this. But, going up a hill with 3 passengers, my car didn't feel quite as fast. It makes sense, more weight...
Anyone else experience this? Key fob and phone nowhere close, car is locked, unplugged, plugged it in, doesn't seem to matter. Obvious battery drain. No cabin lights on, going to make sure headlights are in off position tonight, see if I have it in the morning. This will kill my 12v if I...
I haven't tested this since last winter, but at that time, I took a longish night drive. Was a little chilly outside, at least by California standards (45 degrees). Turning e-heat on, setting to recirc, the HVAC kept turning recirc off by itself, letting cold air back into the cabin, causing...
This is a brief rundown of a weekend trip up the Northern California Coastline.
Start: Novato, CA 95 percent SOC
Destination: Point Arena, CA to a hotel with no charging.
Total miles: Approximately 250 miles round trip. No DCFC.
An overnight stop in Bodega Bay, at a hotel with no charging...
Hi all,
I haven't seen much mention of this. But has anyone noticed a pronounced sloshing noise that is very intermittent? I think my car makes it most often during changes of the parameters of the climate controls, it sounds like liquid being moved quickly just about under the dash. This...
