  1. Preventative replacement of 12v battery?

    My 2022 MME GT is now 3 years old with just over 20k miles. I need to take it to the dealer for a recall and state inspection tis month. Should I preemptively replace the 12v battery for safety sake? While we don't usually travel very far from home I'd hate to be locked out somewhere.
  2. 1st time charging at Tesla Supercharger

    My Tesla adapter was delivered last week so I wanted to try it out before I might need to use it. Nearest charger is at a Wawa about 5 miles away - 8 chargers. Got there and 4 Teslas were charging. Pulled into a space so I could access the charger but even though my tires hit the parking berm...
  3. First EA charging experience

    Had to take my wife to a medical appointment about 2 hours away. Arrived at clinic with 52% charge left so wanted a little reserve to get home. There is an EA charging station at a Sheetz on the way back and PlugShare showed all working with one in use. Pulled in and a BMW was charging...
  4. First road trip needing charge

  6. Ford sticking with Apple CarPlay

    Looks like Ford isn’t going down the rat hole with GM and keeping CarPlay. This article talks about it. Since CarPlay was on my non-negotiable list for a new car this makes me happy. Didn’t realize that Ford has an ex-Apple exec on staff.
  7. Car&Driver article on EA charging failures

    Interesting article on 3 EA charging failures that left vehicles stranded. No Mach-Es but one was a F-150...
  8. How long does precondition hold?

    If I set up a departure time for a trip tomorrow how long after the set time does the preconditioning end. If I’m delayed an hour will it still hold the temperature?
  9. Anybody transport their MME on a trailer?

    I’ll be headed to Florida for the winter in our motorhome and would like to have the Mach-E for local transportation. It’s the ideal situation as most of our trips are less than 50 miles and we can easily recharge at the RV park. I have a Featherlite trailer that I’ve used for other cars. I...
  10. PAAK concerns

    While waiting for my GT to get here I’ve been reading the owners manual. While I like the idea of the PAAK I’m concerned that a minor glitch in the matrix could leave me stranded somewhere. Is this a valid fear or is the system robust enough to not worry?
