  1. Our 2024 Beaverton OR to Copperopolis CA (and back) Road Trip

    Well gang...another year, another "Portland to NorCal" road trip in the books. While it's a very long drive, this one went A LOT smoother than last year, pretty much all thanks to our access to the Tesla Supercharging network. Not only did it give us another 20+ options for stopping to charge...
  2. Our NACS to CCS Adapter Saga

    As of August 27th, 2024 we still don't have our official Ford adapter, but getting the third party adapters hasn't gone super smoothly either. So I made a video about our little saga...if you have a free 18 minutes...
  3. Using a Tesla Supercharger With Magic Dock in Boardman, Oregon

    Not really sure if this should go here or in the "Trips / Journals / Logs" category, but...I thought I'd share a video I made of our day trip to Boardman, Oregon to try out a Tesla supercharger with a Magic Dock. I know I'm not the first, but it was still a cool experience so I thought it worth...
  4. Portland to NorCal to Portland Contrasting Road Trip Videos

    I thought I'd share a video I made about our recent 1,500 mile road trip from Portland, OR to Copperopolis, CA and back (with some more driving around Lodi, etc.). The video pretty much tells it all, but the main take away is the Mach-E is terrific, but the charging infrastructure is getting...
  5. "What Happened to My Range?" Response Video

    It's an all-too-common question, so I thought I'd make a quick video to help answer it. So far it's getting a pretty positive response. Not sure if this is the right place to put it (admins feel free to move it if not), but hopefully anyone doing a search can find it either way. Cheers!
  6. Charge Fault - Service Vehicle Soon

    Something happened to us this morning, and doing a little search here it looks like we're not the only one. It's just started and yet to be resolved, but I thought I'd document it anyway. 2021 ER RWD Premium Oct 2021 build. Ran some errands this morning (in sub freezing temps), backed into...
  7. "Mach-E In A Movie" Sighting

    Looks prominently featured...and I love me some Gillian Jacobs...I'm in!
  8. Our First Road Trip - Portland to Bend to NorCal to Portland

    tl:dr - 1622 miles over six days. Great trip with lots of beautiful scenery. Efficiency all over the place (up and down mountains and hills). Plug-and-Charge worked great. Over 100 degree temps in NorCal, but no overheating issues. Trip home (on a Monday) saw surprisingly busy EA stations...
  9. Who Uses the Parking Brake?

    Curious how many of you use the parking brake and what your experiences are. Our MME lives outside in our driveway, which is slightly angled / not flat. So when we put it into Park and let our foot off the brake, it rolls back a few inches (not unlike any other car, but it feels more...
  10. Mach-E Takes "Best Electric Crossover" by Top Gear

    Not much on it, but good to see it's still winning awards...
  11. I Wish To (Not) Complain About My Range

    We picked up our RWD LR Premium on November 30th, 2021...just in time for winter. So par for the course, our indicated / estimated range has been less than excellent (but never a problem). Cut to yesterday (Feb 12th) and a sunny forecast with a high of 60, so we decide to do our first "day...
  12. Charging Etiquette

    So I'm thinking about doing a video on charging, in which I want to cover charging etiquette. Some of it is (or should be) obvious to most of us, and I've been searching here for more help, but I thought I'd open up a thread to get any additional ideas or thoughts from the group here. So far I...
  13. I Made a Video

    Just to share. I might try to make a series of videos ("The Mach-E Files"), but man...this took days to put together... Edit: episode 02, 03, and 04 on page 3 of this thread...episode 05, 06, 07, and 08 are up on page 4....episode 09 is on page 5...episodes 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 are on page...
  14. New MME - Charging (In)Frequency Question

    I see a lot of people who charge their MMEs regularly, sometimes nightly, even when the battery is "only" down to about 70%. I have to admit, one of the reasons we went for the long range battery is so we don't have to worry about charging often. I mean, we wouldn't run it down to 10%...
  15. Mach-E Die Cast Models?

    Does anybody have a source for a die cast model of a MME? Might be nice to have on my desk while we await our order, but I can't find any in my usual sources. Ideally a red one, but right now I'd be open to anything. Any help would be appreciated!
