I volunteered my MME to Stealth Hitches to be their design model. As the name implies, their specialty is manufacturing trailer hitches that are not visible when not in use. The design is absolute brilliance. I am so impressed.
Here's how the back of the car looks with the new mounting...
I took delivery on my Mach Drop FE last week, but still have a PE AWD EBP in Infinite Blue on order being delivered next week. What are the prospects of me buying the PE and reselling it to make a few bucks (and getting the tax deduction)?
Took delivery on my MME FE yesterday. Like others, an exercise in frustration. To make a long story short:
Like many, the car was delivered almost a month later than the original ETA.
I've been in and out of my dealership for the past four months. I gave them a list of requests, including...
My new baby -- Electic Blue. EB for short. Delivered 3/18/2021 after a fifteen-month gestation period. She's a big girl at 185 inches long and almost 5000 lbs. EB's a fickle child with definite growing pains, but I know that I'm going to grow to love her.
I'm picking up my MME FE today. Will probably go with straight financing from Ford Credit, though I want to see what the dealership has to say about the Options program. What's the best 48-month straight rate that people have got from Ford recently?
According to VV, my Mach Drop FE was delivered to a depot on the south side of Atlanta almost two weeks ago, but is in stop-ship status and hasn't moved. I've heard nothing from Ford, and my dealer says they have no further information. The ETA on the tracker has changed from 3/4 to 3/21...
Just saw this a mile from my house. New Electrify America charging station being installed. I've never seen one in the wild. ;) Of course, won't do me much good, but know you're covered if you come by to visit me in Woodstock, GA.
I had hoped to get a vanity (custom) license plate that said "MACH E". but the well-intended folks at the DMV here in Georgia won't allow the use of the letters "ACHE" in consecutive order. I then thought how about "E PONY", but alas, the letters "PONY" are not allowed either. Really!? Can't...
I should be receiving my MME First Edition in the next couple of weeks. I ordered it through the Mach Drop, so the order did not go through the standard ordering process. Accordingly, I don't see the order on the Ford.com site. I'm really not sure what the exact price should be.
I plan to...
NHTSA asks Tesla to recall 158,000 vehicles for touchscreen failures
Hope this kind of problem doesn't afflict the MME.

There is a custom hitch manufacturer near Atlanta that is considering creating a trailer hitch for the MME. They are interested, but question what the demand might be. I thought this poll might help them gauge the interest level.
Just converted my reservation to an order. Premium, AWD, Extended Range. Took a while to come to an understanding with the dealer about the price. They ultimately agreed to no ADM and no mandatory add-ons. Looking forward to driving my first EV.
