Nope, that’s perfect, and you answered my question. I was told that rotating the outlet would not be up to code, and that sounded silly to me at the time, but I didn’t question it. That is pretty much how I wanted to install mine, until I was lead the other direction. That’s a nice clean...

Did you have to rotate the outlet in the casing. The only version of 14/50 covered outlets that I could find have the ground pin at the top, so even if you bent the ChargePoints cord to plug in, the ground plug on the CP would now be in the down location and the ground in the outlet would be at...

It ended up just being too tight. I was not able to mount the NEMA outlet properly and bend the plug in for the ChargePoint what would have been the necessary 180 degrees and get it to plug in. I ended up going with the hardwired solution. I bought all of the material and ran all of the wiring...

That is awesome and is what I would REALLY like to do next. I love the idea of driving "for free." I have not received an actual quote from anyone, but I have priced out everything myself, it looks like it would be quite some time for me to be able to recover the costs of a solar installation...

I have commented on this before. It's kind of surprising how hot the pano gets when you place your hand on it, but like you said, somehow that heat does not radiate into the car. I purchased my MME in March and have owned it all the way through a hot and humid Southern summer, and I have to...

You are correct. I was simply focusing on my fuel savings. I have grown attached to the one pedal driving, and I think I rarely use my friction brakes any more. I am interested to see how many more miles I am likely to get out of a set of brake pads as well. My understanding is that we might...

I'm not sure the "convenience factor" can be overstated here. I don't know how many times I put off getting gas, because I always seemed to be in a hurry to get somewhere. Then finally one day, I HAVE TO stop, and it just always seemed to be a bit of a cramp. People worry about the extended...

I have a couple of weeks off for the Holidays, and I'm starting to get a little bored, LOL. So, I wondered what my fuel savings has been so far. I have a ChargePoint charger that keeps up with my monthly charging costs, using my local power companies' rates. I received my vehicle right at the...

I feel like you have misread my original post. I'm not saying whether it's silly to call the car vegan, just that this isn't a Ford or MME thing. Cars are being marketed this way by a quite a few car companies now. Mercedes, BMW, Volkswagen, Tesla are all advertising cars as "vegan" now. Shoot...

I don't feel like the non-leather seat selection is a Ford or MME thing. When I bought my MME, I feel like every car I looked at or compared it to had the faux leather seats. I traded in a 2018 BMW X-1, and when I bought it, my memory is that most all of the packages included the faux leather...

This was what I was saying (or at least trying to) in my post in this thread, and it's the "for some reason" part that I really can't quite put my finger on. I have also become very "attached" to my MME, and that's really not like me. I'm not sure what it is either, but at least for me, there is...

I have owned an Extended Range All Wheel drive for 6 months and 8000+ miles. I'm single with a grown family, so it is my only car. I love it: * Comfort * Drive * Torque * Great mix of roomy but not too big * Never having to stop at a gas station - especially when I'm in hurry to get somewhere...

I feel like anecdotal evidence is not what you need here, but it is all you are probably going to get. Everything you read here is a single user experience, and I don't believe that I have seen any sort of true analysis of what percentage of cars are having actual issues. Obviously, the...

I know that everyone will have different experiences, but I second this 100%. I just finished a road trip from Alabama to Ohio, and back, about two weeks ago - about 1100 miles. I was legitimately surprised at how much more relaxed I was after all those miles by using Co-Pilot. I was paying full...

This, and flipping the CarPlay toggle off and back on (from the iPhone settings) while connected in the car, has me back up and working. Thank you, all.

So, I have had my car for well over a month and use CarPlay on a daily basis. This morning on my drive to work, it did not seem to sync correctly. I have had this happen once or twice before, and I have simply had to select my phone for CarPlay again. However, this morning, since I was trying to...

I was about to respond with pretty much the same observation - you can stick your hand on the glass and feel the heat, but it does not transfer to the interior of the car. I'm not sure what the physics of that is, seems a bit counterintuitive, but it has been my experience as well. I'm in...

Let me introduce myself - now you know someone. I'm a single guy (55), and the MME is my only vehicle. I have now owned it a little over a month, and I travel an average of 60 to 70 miles per day (week days). I put about 19,000 miles on a car in a year, and I just don't see this ever being a...

LOL. My grandkids, 7 and 12, beg me to drop them off and pick them up from school. I had a guy stop me in the parking lot of Arby's this weekend to ask me questions. He talked to me for 45 minutes, asking different questions about the car and commenting about a test drive he had - all of it...

Happy National Mustang Day to all.
