  1. First time (and hopefully last time) using the Ford Tesla NACS adapter [LOCKED DUE TO POLITICS; MEMBERS WARNED]

    Wanted to test out the Ford gifted Tesla adapter just to verify it works and that my wife and I felt comfortable with it. Worked fine but seeing the Teslas raised my blood pressure. Did get a parking spot at the end so no blocking two spots. I will admit it was nice to just pull off the highway...

  2. Replacing tires on Friday - what fun stuff I do with the existing tires?

    Tires last 40,000 miles but I’m getting them replaced on Friday. Any fun things I should do with the existing ones besides doing a ton of launches?

  3. My EV garage (if I had an actual garage)

    Took a flyer on an 18 month lease on a Lucid. Using my Ford Mobile charger (good old 110 Volt trickle charging) to keep both juiced up. Note that my California Route 1 was $56,813 (also, qualified for the full $7500 tax credit on top of it then) in 2022. If I wanted to buy out the Lucid ahead...

  5. Chips now available for missing features?

    My brother has an Explorer which came without some features due to chip shortages. However, he just received an email from Ford saying they are able to now start installing them post- delivery due to having more chips available. Anyone getting similar messages for your MMEs? Mine was never...

    Anyone know how to pay for an EVSmart charger? I can’t find clear information and we are about 2.5 hours away. Is it part of the Shell network? Thanks!

  8. BlueOval charging questions

    Going on my longest trip so wanted to activate BlueOval to use my free 250kwh and I have two questions: 1) Is it really true that if the charger is in the BlueOval network that I drive up and plug in and I have to do nothing else?! That sounds too good to be true. 2) I have signed up for EA...

  11. Best way to close the trunk

    I have the manual close trunk and I’m trying to figure if there a optimal way to close it. I can sort of swing it hard and it closes but is awkward or I can find that sweet spot where it then closes sort of like a self closing drawer. I’m trying to not put my hands on the outside and instead...

  13. Why does True Car seem to list so many MMEs at very little ADM?

    Was just kicking around True Car and decided to look up MMEs (mine should hopefully be coming soon) and I see ADMs ranging from 27 dollars to 1000 dollars which yeah, any kind of ADM stinks, but is not too 'bad'. Yes, of course there are plenty with pretty high ADMs but not all. What am I...

  14. Financing Options

    It looks like potentially I would be getting my vehicle within the next 1-2 months. What are people finding for financing? Going through the dealer, a bank, paying cash, etc? Any good deals in the Boston areas? Note that (I believe) I have good credit. Thanks in advance!
