  1. Chargers coming to 2000 Hiltons

    News this morning that Tesla is partnering with Hilton to install chargers at 2000+ hotel properties. No details on specs, counts, or capacities, but I’d have to assume load-managed L2 with J1772 compatibility. Good news for travelers. I’m constantly shocked at how few hotel options I have with...
  2. Research Invitation - Escalente Survey?

    Anyone else receive a similar email? This didn't come directly from Ford, but purports to be partnering with them to gather information for future product development. I'd agree to install a data logger for a year, in return for which I'd receive $500 and the satisfaction that I've helped...
  3. Found a Way to Feel Good About MME DCFC

    I'm planning to drive my daughter's Leaf SL Plus (62 kWh (?) battery) down to LA when she leaves for college next month. Considering there's probably 20% of the number of CHAdeMO plugs compared to CCS, not to mention the lackluster charging speed, I'd much rather be driving the MME. ABRP says I...
  4. (Yet Another) Charging Frustration

    So the wife and kids are on a road trip from the Sacramento area to LA. Decided to try the Mach E instead of the Tesla for this one. Against my reservations, I went so far to use ABRP and diligently checked PlugShare. To the tune of at least an hour of frustrating research. I figured I’ve heard...
  5. The Audacity! More Proof

    Driving by today on my way home, and I see all these Teslas hogging nearly every DCFC!! They must be coordinating some sort of scheme!!
  6. Car will be starring in a commercial

    So a friend creates video collateral for a large financial consulting and solutions company. They're currently working on a project that would provide funding for DCFC in Tennessee and shooting a commercial to include with their presentation. He thought a Ford would play well in the South so he...
  7. The major weakness of the MME (and all non-Tesla EVs) -- reliable, robust charging network doesn't exist

    This goes for all non-Tesla EVs. You can make the best EV in the world, but it's near useless to take outside it's single-charge range if a reliable, robust charging network doesn't exist. Being in NorCal with chargers located all over, my wife decided to take the MME from Sac to San Fran...
  8. E vs 3

    So I just picked up my MME Extended Range AWD Premium on Saturday, and I’ve been a Tesla Model 3 owner for a little over 4 years. I know the 3 and MME aren’t the direct competitors that the Y and MME are, but this is what I have to work with. Initial impressions: The 3 is noticeably quicker and...
  9. Disappointing Sales News 1st Half 2022

    For those who prefer limited production vehicles for the exclusivity and avoiding of seeing similar cars on the road. Mach E, for all of it's supply chain issues, is currently the 4th best selling EV and poised to take over 3rd very soon.
  10. Order Tracking Status Disappeared - Normal?

    Apologies if this has been discussed but I couldn't find by searching. I received my VIN and build week (7/25) via email last week and it showed up on Ford's order tracking page. This morning, there is no order information of any kind showing up - the page is blank except for the default...
  11. My car showed up...

    ... in Reno. While browsing regional inventory (as I like to do), this morning I spotted same exact configuration, special order for some lucky buyer 90 miles away. It gives me reassurance though that I'll see mine soon enough.
