It wasn’t as close as I would have hoped. But I went into it thinking the 835hp and almost 1000ft/lb torque Rivian would win.
I was maybe 20ft behind?
And the distance of the drag race was somewhere in the range of 1200”. I don’t remember the specifics
I honestly felt that I was reeling in...
So yesterday I was invited to go drag race a rivian with my Mach E GT PE.
Kyle from Out of Spec lives in my town and is doing a review of a Rivian and wanted to drag race all the other EV's. He asked me if I was willing to put my GTPE up against it. I said yes!
First off that Rivian is FAST...
Turns out I got it fixed.
The problem was some connectivity issues between Ford and the car.
I was able to talk to fordapp support and they suggested that I reset the connection settings in the car.
I did that and then what happened was the error changed to my trip log was full for my vin. But...
In the cold, high 1’s
in the 60’s we had about 2.3
I would drive about 5-10 over. And in the cold we kept the heat up to about 72
Also to be clear we had about 600lbs of people/animals/gear in the car as well.
I wish I could look at the trip history for the car. Cause I would like to extract...
So my family and I took a road trip from Northern CO down to Scottsdale for the Barrett Jackson auction and then to San Diego to visit family.
I’m not gonna go into hyper detail, but just give the highs and lows.
highs:
car drives great.
seats are comfortable
Spacious interior.
3yo in car...
I just updated the ford pass app. I’ve logged out and back in. I’ve turned off and on the phone. I e force quit and restarted the app.
Every time I try to create a new trip plan I get an error saying that FordPass isn’t responding.
Is this a known issue, or something going on?
It’s been...
Come next year I’ll be buying new wheels and tires for my Mach E. Looking to do a staggered setup for the spring/summer/fall setup, and using the stock wheels w/nokians for the winter setup.
These tires might be what I end up getting!
I too am looking forward to some reviews.
I wish that we would use a different metric other than range on the window sticker.
Ice cars aren’t sold on how many miles per tank. They are miles per gallon.
And we need to stop making the GOM so front and center.
Since I bought my car the range displayed has seemed really low. Especially compared to the range it had when I bought it.
So I decided to test it and see what my range really is.
When I left my range was 202 at 100%
I drove a mix of city and highway. Some full throttle pulls and really just...
"base algorithm" you will likely never know. Because it's part of the "Ford Mach E Secret Sauce"
Regarding Machine Learning, just do a quick internet search using your favorite search engine for "Ford Mach E Machine Learning" you'll see all sorts of results for it.
While the results don't...
It’s not gonna be that simple.
Ford has introduced some AI and some Machine Learning which will adjust the GOM depending on who is driving, along with the other external variables like, temp and distance and elevation etc.
So let’s assume you and your partner both have profiles in your car...
We’ve only had ours a couple weeks. And I can confirm great daily driver.
we don’t drive often, but when we do it’s awesome around town. Easy to park, handles the highways great. The blue cruise is hard to get used too. I am a “driver” not a passenger. So, letting go of control is anxiety...
