I resubsribed to Blue Cruise for the 30% off deal. I’ve been getting used to it. One strategy I have adopted is to sit in the right lane, set the speed to the limit plus 3 mph (about 5 kph) and let everyone pass me. It’s lovely in “moving traffic.” I define “moving traffic” as everyone could...

Today I got acknowledgement via USPS. It felt good. It’s the little things. Congratulations to Koons! They didn’t send me a free oil change! They sent me an EV Service Reminder. I am in an area with multiple dealerships. The one where I bought my car sends me oil change fliers. I don’t go...

ok… not really. That was click bait. I’m happy to say that a 29-er mountain bike with wide handlebars and a slack geometry will fit in the back of a Mach-e! I was in a pinch because I left the bike rack key in my other car and I wanted to lock the bike for a stop after my ride. Whoops 😬. But...

I hope to never use it, but I just purchased a Modern Spare after an incident in my other vehicle. One flat in the middle of nowhere West Virginia took me from $600 seems like a lot for spare tire kit to, “take my money.” The purchasing experience is excellent and the printable instructions are...

I like to keep cars for a long time, but dang the electric wagons from Toyobaru look nice and appear to drive well if the videos are to be believed. No route planning, which is a huge miss, but I’m not buying a car tomorrow. I suspect that Toyota and Subaru will figure it out. Anyway, it’s the...

A trenching contractor nicked our underground line. We woke up to a cold house and weird lightbulb surging. Any high powered electrical system was offline. Dominion came out and diagnosed a power quality issue. The good news is that Dominion put a power quality correction machine on our meter...

Anyone in the DC area have a recommendation for a good suspension shop? I want to price out the Rally Springs Swap. The dealerships I called won’t call me back about it, so I got the message: their price is “no.” So I think my best option is an independent shop. I can Google, but I trust the...

On Feb 7-8, I drove with Travel Buddy from DC to Pittsburgh. We left at 6 AM (for reasons), when the temperature on the display was 3. Yes, 3, Fahrenheit. As we drove away from our heat island, however, it dropped more, eventually going below zero. Pointed west, we were going into the teeth of...

And rumor is that the New Stanton Applegreen is just awaiting energizing.

This post was a lot of fun. It got me thinking about my cold weather usage. I'm at pains to say: I'm not disagreeing with the OP in the other thread! Not only is it a good academic question - it's often good to poke at the extremes to understand the norms - but it's also the lived experience of...

I have been observed complaining about Ford software. It’s slow, I want it to update faster, but the following video is a good reminder that it has never let me down like this. I mean, it does sometimes get confused about whose profile it should load, but there’s A BUTTON ON THE DOOR THAT SOLVES...

Spotted these in the charging menu. I don’t remember them being there previously. Even if I missed a memo, they’re great! They’re dismissible, they have real value for rookies, and they’re brief! Excellent information experience!

Two guys driving a Bolt to the Arctic Circle are told by the Chevy dealership that they won’t be allowed to charge at the dealership’s charger. They go down the road to the Ford dealership, where not only do they charge, but out of pure pettiness, the film an impromptu commercial for a Ford...

My wife went to the bank and saw Tesla’s brand image on display.

After this discussion: https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/chargeway-app.49902/ I decided to try out Chargeway+. I wrote up a review. It asks the question, should a Mustang Mach-e owner pay for Chargeway+. The full review is here...

Thanks everyone for the advice here: https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/anyone-have-a-teen-driver-and-a-mme.49805/ I decided to take her around a parking lot in the MME today. I wanted to judge her ability to handle the car. I have a Premium Extended Range AWD. She did so well, I let her...

I've owned my Mustang Mach-e for just over a year. And I've done my DC to Pittsburgh "Kessel Run" about 12 times. In this trip, I was struck by how fast charging has improved in less than a year, and the promise of continued improvement, and how that affects confidence. The more charging...

Does anyone have advice for handling keys to a torque forward electric car to a responsible teenager? My eldest will turn 16 in about six months. I’m looking forward to quitting the ballet carpool, so I’m encouraging her to get her license. I have a premium all wheel drive, and I’m nervous...
