Do not charge to 100% on a regular basis if you want to get the most life out of your battery. There are tons of resources online that can explain why, but the bottom line is you want your battery to spend as much time between ~60-80% as possible. Owner's manual says limit charge to 90% (which...

First Edition (ER AWD), almost 4k miles. Seattle area, so 40F - 114F temp range, driven daily.

Yeah, except it's been 100F plus what...10 times in recorded history in Seattle? All time high in Seattle: 103. Forecast high for tomorrow: 114. I'm sure Portland is similar. Oh, and the humidity is still over 30% so...yeah...not exactly apples to apples.

Don't charge to 100% with any regularity if you have any concerns about the longevity of the battery. User manual suggests capping at 90%. (Which is around 80% of actual battery total, in line with industry standard recommendations)

I use Adam's polishes SiO2 infused waterless wash, SiO2 infused liquid wax, and interior detail spray (etc etc). Easy to apply all the exterior products, int/ext products all smell pleasant without being overpowering. I'm not affiliated with them or anything, but I definitely like everything of...

Gives me some "Flight of the Navigator" vibes (yes, I'm old). Compliance!

My guess would be due to the nature of the involved software...you know, the bits that tell your car what is and isn't a valid key. I could definitely be wrong, but that's the first thing I thought of when I saw the notice in FordPass to bring it in.

...battery on the fob? Already? That's pretty quick, as most I've had lasted YEARS of daily use between needing replacements

The Mustang Mach-E manual suggests charging to 90% for battery longevity. It's on page 149. :)

Doing the math, I would probably see roughly 340mi at 100% charge. Absolutely doable real world, good to see more tests matching up with what I'm seeing (and it's climbing...first 1500mi or so it was cold).

Weird...last car was a 2017 Chevy Bolt, and my insurance went DOWN by about $50 per 6mo.

There is a chip shortage. No one knows, as the previously built vehicles, even those built a month or two ago, were dealing with a slightly different version of the chip shortage. There can be educated guesses and speculation, but Ford has thousands of their best selling vehicles parked mostly...

Bigger problem isn't whether your screen buzzes or not, it's the human element. Let's say we have 100 healthy MMEs and all of them screen buzz between 5 and 10 DB (numbers don't matter, just showing that there's a range) at a frequency of between 100 and 150Hz (again, the numbers are BS...bear...

I've seen this happen, but it was on a phone that wasn't technically supported (Android version was too low). Once using a device w/ proper OS version, no issues. This SSM says it's an error...but what it doesn't tell you is that it's probably PEBKAC (Problem Exists Between Keyboard And...

Yeah, that tracks. I live JUST outside the delivery radii of two Jimmy John'ses. Just another excuse to drive the mustang, so I'm not complaining. :)

Automated car washes are not good for the paint on your car. You're either just smearing other people's built up dirt around and scratching your clearcoat or getting sprayed at too-high pressure with too-abrasive chemicals. I found a SiO2 infused waterless wash and similarly infused wax. No...

Aha, thank you for reiterating that explanation (I vaguely remember reading that/similar, and for some reason didn't click until now). My last EV was a Chevy Bolt, which did have a real-time display of kw usage/regen, so of course I played the 1PD "get the best mi/kwh" game (Averaged around 4.1...

Coasting (using 0 energy to go from 20-0 over howevermanyfeetittakes) being more efficient than regen (gaining any amount of energy to go from 20-0 over ittakeslessfeettodothis) doesn't make logical sense to me, but I'm not going to argue. I'll just be happy with my mi/kwh staying north of 5...

Got it. This is one of those "on a closed course that's been laser leveled under ideal conditions" things.

How is REGENERATIVE braking not good for efficiency? I drive exclusively 1PD in Unbridled and "like a Mustang"(heavy accel, high end of freeway speeds, a bit of slipping sideways on turns etc) and I'm getting 3.5mi/kwh overall in Seattle with the heat on (set to 71F). I can count on one hand the...
