    EVs in Berlin

    Just returned from a trip to Berlin. EVs were everywhere on the street (and in the "VW Drive" exhibit). Even a Mach-E! VW ID3s were particularly common.

    Setting Auto dimming Headlights

    Original manual said they come on at 18 mph and above. I stand corrected--that was changed to 32 mph. So, at 32 or above they will come on.

    Setting Auto dimming Headlights

    That only controls whether the headlights come on when it gets dark. To set brights to automatic: 1. go to the vehicle drawer on the touchscreen; 2. press "settings"; 3. Press "Vehicle"; 4. Press "lighting."; 5. turn Auto Highbeam on or off. After you have done this, note the following...

    【A NEW NAME FOR AOSK: BestEvMod】Winner could pick an accessory from AOSK

    Not so much. Aside from not particularly liking the sound, I think it does not fully represent your products. I would classify most of your products as accessories or accents as opposed to modifications. I know you are technically modifying any time you change something but, of the several...

    Imagine a dealer that doesn't charge ADM, and gets screwed over by a lying customer (role reversal)

    Do these same dealers offer to give the buyer a partial refund if the market price of the car they buy drops at anytime in the next 12 months? No? I didn't think so. I understand their concern but this seems pretty one sided to me.

    Power-Up 2.4.3 OTA already

    Expect--no. Want--yes. How about balance with a basic description and then "click for details"

    Body Panel Damage Estimate?

    Estimated cost: A bit of psychic pain; some minor suffering; a bit of inconvenience; a touch of disappointment; and a once again beautiful car to look forward to once your car is restored.

    Does the Federal EV Tax Credit delay a refund?

    I agree that 21 days should do it if filed the most efficient way. I got mine even more quickly than that by filing electronically and having the refund paid directly to my checking account (yes my return included a $7500 tax credit for my Mach-E purchase). If a filer does not file this way...

    Hello from Discount Tire!!!

    Good to see all the positive reviews for Discount Tire. There is one a mile from my home. Shortly after I got my Mach-E, I got a flat tire thanks to a big screw in the tread. I tried Discount Tire for the repair but they told me it would be three days before they could fix my flat. It would...

    Why isn’t it faster than the model Y?

    Have you seen the comparative MY v Mach-E reliability info from CR, which is based on a broad data set from owners as opposed to anecdotal posts from a small sub-set of owners (or whomever chooses to post to the forum)? DGMW, both pieces of information are of interest but judging reliability...

    Dealership wants my Mach E

    Nope. It would mean that the offer was equal to or greater than it was worth to the OP. Boom, math logic police….

    Dealership wants my Mach E

    If they are willing to pay a specific price, then that price is, by definition, what it is worth (to them). Selling it at that price would not be selling it for more than it is worth. If you do not take the offer, then it is worth more than the price of the offer to you. By the way, this...

    Did you test drive before purchasing?

    Given that I received the first Mach-E in Wisconsin, there was nothing around to test drive prior to my car arriving. Signed the paperwork and gave the dealer my check and then drove it off the lot. No regrets. My most recent prior car was a Bolt EV. I got the first Bolt in Wisconsin by...

    Need help impressing car nut father-in-law. What do you show "guests" first?

    Don't show off anything. Put one of them in the drivers seat and ask them to drive you around while you sit quietly in the back seat. I agree--no OPD for a new driver. Also agree--pre-heat it from your phone (if you have an Apple Watch, pre-heating from the watch is always a nice touch)...

    Tax Credit Form Available 2/10 (TurboTax)

    Oh. Guess I was confused by the OP: "According to TurboTax, the Federal EV Tax Credit Form will be available on 2/10 for those filing with TurboTax." followed by the OP's reference to Form 8936. Guess the conversation has moved on from the OP. HR Block still does not have 8911 as of...
