I think FordPass has been doing this for a year but I’ve never noticed. I hopped onto a Tesla Supercharger for a few minutes yesterday and realized that the app shows the session costs instead of showing the Time on Charge metric. It changes in real-time and is a really neat feature for...

Like the title says, how can we add known DC fast charging stations to the native nav so our cars can precondition? I’ve got an active subscription to Connected Navigation but it’s missing fast charging stations. For example, ElectricEra stations in Arlington, WA and Seven Feathers travel...

Ford has filed a patent for the name ‘Mach 4’. Car & Driver is speculating it’s a Mustang Sedan, but I’m wondering if based on the naming convention, it’s a sedan version of the Mach-E. Or maybe something wilder, like a 4-motor variant of the MME. Maybe it’s something on the next generation EV...

A new V4 Supercharger opened in Seattle last night. It features new cut-resistant cables that are making their first public debut. The onsite techs explained to me that there’s pressurized dye running thru the cable and underneath the outer sheathing are additional cables of varying hardness...

Shoutout to Pierre Ford’s mobile service team. I gotta say that the mobile service thing is so convenient and awesome to take advantage of. They came to my place twice to work on the car, first for a recall update and again to replace the 12V battery, both times with no fuss. They can do pretty...

Rivian has begun to open their charging stations to non-Rivian EVs. The first station to open is in Joshua Tree, CA with more stations expected to open soon. https://rivian.com/experience/charging

Pierre Ford service department dispatched a tech to do the chargeport recall update. Very cool and incredibly convenient! Now if only he could give me BlueCruise 1.3…

Out of Spec did their 10% Challenge on the 2024 MME Rally and it went about as well as you’d expect. Starting from 10%, they plug into a charger for 15 mins, then hop onto the freeway to do 80mph. The test is to see how far at 80mph that 15 mins of charging results in. 35kWh added in 15 mins...

My 2021 GT hasn’t had an update since 6.14 came out. Have the 2021s gotten anything since then?

@Angelnx1985 did a 10-80 fast charging test on his 2021 First Edition. Did Ford make a change to the charge curve? This seems about 4-6 mins faster than a lot of sessions.

Stopped for a charge today at EA and a couple of GT friends showed up to make a Space White Sandwich!

Looks like Ford is doing their 2024 Mustang Mach-E media drive in Washington. Anybody around Seattle seen the media fleet and various influencers doing videos this week?

What do you wish @OutofSpecKyle and the Batteries Included Podcast team ask Donna? edit: thread title change

@OutofSpecKyle talks with Francie on the podcast to discuss all the changes.

I checked cars.com but haven’t seen any 2024 MME GTs. Anyone have an idea on where they are? It’s also odd to me that ford.com doesn’t show any 2024 MMEs at all.

The Pilot Travel Center in Ellensburg has come online! It's a split 350kW two-charger setup with dual cables capable of simultaneous charging. This is huge news if you have ever dealt with the clown show that is the Taco Bell Electrify America...

Edmunds did a comprehensive charging speed test on dozens of EVs in the US market. Out of 43 tested vehicles the MME 4X and GTPE came in #40 and #41, respectively. Only the Bolt EV and EUV were slower to add miles. https://www.edmunds.com/car-news/electric-car-charging.html

Anybody else notice their rain sensing wipers not working anymore?

Looks like Ford will be introducing a new trim level at Goodwood. Maybe the long rumored Dark Horse?

Heads up to anybody traveling through central Washington. Looks like Ellensburg EA station has 2/4 working chargers. I’m seeing reports of cars waiting to charge. Yakima Walmart is getting its parking lot repaved and they’re closing the EA station while the work is ongoing beginning on 29...
