  1. Home charging: MME throws a fault and gives the "Service Vehicle Soon" message

    With time day charging enabled, after charging is completed, if a door (not sure if it matters which one) is opened BEFORE the EVSE is unplugged the MME throws a fault and the "Service Vehicle Soon" message appears. As soon as the door is opened you can hear the "thunk" as the EVSE is connected...
  2. Rivian Announces Proprietary Charging Network (plus public charging)

  7. Maybe Ford needs to rename the CA Route 1

    If you've ever driven Route 1 you know why Ford would name a Mustang Mach-E model after that road. Probably 60% of the cars traveling along it are Mustangs (a Chevy which may not be named probably accounts for another 30%). It's the quintessential drive for Mustang enthusiast of all ages and...
  8. Estimated Three Weeks From Build Week to Delivery Week

    At the Mach-E preview event held at Encinitas Ford, the sales person I've been working with confirmed my build week of November 29 and said the EA week for people with that build week was the week of December 21st. That's three weeks for SoCal. Quicker than I thought. Obviously it could change...
