  1. I have a charger issue. What would you do?

    I have a unique charging issue and am not sure what to do. I have a Gen 2 hardwired Tesla Wall Connector, which I bought back in 2018 when I got a Tesla. It is set to deliver power at 48 amps and cannot be easily adjusted. In 2022, when my wife and I got her MacheE GT, I wanted an EVSE where...

    Car detailing is a hobby of mine. I like to keep my cars clean with a weekly rinseless wash. Between washes, I like to use waterless washes to remove dust and dirt. I follow a Youtuber named Chelsea with Attention 2 Details. She recommended a waterless wash called Ethos Defy. I gave it a...
  3. California road trip LA to Berkeley-Question re Tesla Supercharger use

    To my fellow California MachE owners, Later this year, I plan to take a road trip from LA to Berkeley along the 101 route (as opposed to the 5 freeway). I am thinking of taking my MachE (which is technically my wife's car) because it has Supercharger access. The other car in our family is a...

  6. "Proactive" 12v battery replacement - good idea or overkill?

    My wife and I took delivery of my wife's 2022 MME GT in July of 2022. So far we have had no problems or issues with the car at all. I recall reading in one of the tagged 12v battery information posts on this forum that 12v batteries usually last 2 to 2 1/2 years. Given that the 12v battery in...
  7. I tried Armour Detail Supply Ceramic Spray Sealant for the first time (quick review)

    I am a big fan of ceramic spray sealants. Although they are not as durable as ceramic coatings, they are faster and easier to apply and they are more forgiving if you leave a high spot or two. In the past, I have tried and liked Griots Garage 3-in-1 Ceramic Wax and Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions...

  10. Why did charging not stop at set charge limit of 80%

    Today my wife's 2022 MME GTPE was parked at home in our driveway. I plugged in our Juice Box EVSE to top off the battery to 80%. But instead of stopping at 80%, the MME kept charging. I checked the app and noticed the battery was at 87%. It looked like it was going to charge to 100%. Neither...
  11. Dec 2022 Road Trip - Unexpectedly Left the MME GTPE At Home, Took the Tesla Instead

    My wife and I just returned from a road trip from LA to San Diego. We had every intention of taking her 2022 MME GTPE on this road trip. After all, her MME is much bigger and more comfortable than my 2018 Tesla Model 3 Performance, especially for our two teenagers in the back seat. The night...
  12. Navigation went "kerflooey", then screen rebooted while driving on the freeway.

    So my wife was driving her relatively new 2022 MME GTPE on a 100-mile trip home today. She was using the Ford navigation to guide her home, since she was not familiar with the area. About a third of the way home, the navigation went "kerflooey". First it started telling her to go in the...

  14. Just Did My First DCFC at EA - 2 Questions

    My wife and I just did our first DCFC at an Electrify America station today. Overall it went smoothly. I do have two follow up questions: 1) I understand that proper etiquette is that, since the MME can charge at a maximum of 150kw, that we should use the 150kw unit and only use the 350kw unit...

  16. Is This Loud Fan Noise While Parked in the Heat Normal?

    Today is a scorcher. It is currently 110 degrees outside and my MME is parked in my driveway sitting in the sun. There is a very loud noise coming from the MME that I have never heard before. I also noticed that the slots in the front grill are open. I am guessing this loud noise is the cooling...

    We welcomed home our new 2022 MME GTPE about a month ago. I love car detailing and was looking forward to applying paint protection on the MME.

  19. Help me see the pony (puddle lights)

    I need help seeing the pony puddle lights. When I first got my MME, I thought I figured out how to make the puddle lights turn on by turning off the Bluetooth on my iPhone and making sure both fobs were away from the car. But over the last week, I have not been able to get them to come on again...
