    Goodbye 1st Edition, Hello Mediocrity

    Well, Crap! I said goodbye to My 1st Edition the other day. A high school kid did an illegal U-turn in front of me. LeeLou is dead! I just found out she's "totaled." Valued at $45k. I drove home 2 miles after the incident and (other than the red hood in the way of seeing the road) I couldn't...

    Driving the Mach e to Atlanta for Some Improvements!

    What do you do when you see a blatant mistake in a Mach-E review video? ...Post about it! This is a video posted by EV Dave. I noticed at the start of the video that the mileage on his GB MME was just half of a mile over 5000 (2:32). Most of those miles were put on it by Kyle Conner from Out...

    It's almost time.

    My dealer called me the other day. It's the first time that has happened in a few months. They wanted to make sure I didn't want my original order that was still listed under my name. (I don't know ?‍♂️) Since I had no idea where my FE was at the time, I had a hard choice. Anyway, I told him...

    PSA: Watch for vermin. Rats - Mice - Squirrels

    Now that there are many of you that have a BEV for the first time, you should research this problem. I just saw another person fell victim to a mouse causing $2800 in damage. This guy put a TRAP under the hood after $1500 in damage! Nice nest. This is my biggest complaint about all the...

    How to charge faster w/o a Nema 14-50 (from a 120-volt outlet).

    If your Mach-E came before you had your L2 charger (or a Nema 14-50) installed you can still charge at L2 speeds by using an adapter or switch or a DIY plug and two 120-volt outlets. If you've been on the forum for a while, you've seen me post about this before but I haven't gone into any...

    Current Shipping Timeframe update (King County, Washington)

    Regen: AWD versus RWD

    I know some of you have driven multiple MMEs. I would like to hear a comparison between the RWD and AWD regen feel and stopping distance/time. Are they the same? Is the AWD stronger? If so, how much? As a baseline, I tested my wife's 2020 Bolt. It does 30-0 w/o touching the brake in 5.7...

    Winter is a rough time to be a new BEV driver. Post your tips, experiences, and good habits for increasing range here. I sent this to a new owner and thought I'd share it here. I set my BEV's to finish charging about 30 minutes before I'm ready to leave (to whatever % I need, rarely over...

    "Driving in the snow, one pedal driving is King"

    There you have it. One-pedal (on the MME) is better than ABS.

    Oslo to Trondheim

    I know this is an old subject but look at what I found on Bjorn's YouTube page. The distance is a little shorter than what the MME did. Old video in a P85 Model S New video in an ID 3. and Etron Part 2 Most of the other ones are in cold weather so they aren't comparable.

    New video from Ford on one-pedal driving and drive modes. The modes don't look that customizable. I think a forth "Custom" mode is needed.
