Never mix red and blue washer fluid, different compounds, they react together and make an alien gunge which you then need to strip and clean your reservoir and pump. Found that the hard way.

The entire rest of the world it's the MX-5 and always has been so there's that.

The heat pump heats the battery, the heater element heats the cabin. The problem was in very cold weather the original 6kW electric heater alone wasn't enough to keep the battery and the cabin warm at the same time, the car would prioritize the battery and the interior temperature would plummet.

Well, 21 SR AWD, pre-conditioned Summer & pre-condiioned Winter, same journey, same speed just temperature difference of 80F vs 25F. Summer = 230 mile range, Winter <150 (would have been even less if I hadn't turned cabin heat off, was getting 1 mile per kWh. Inside temp was approaching 25F).

the harness is spliced behind the trunk panel, it was a bad join, they repaired it. Assembly issue at plant or sub par parts into Ford

a 6A charge will add what, 1 mile per hour. Plug in all night for 12 miles.... better to find a real charger somewhere.

gotta fit the heat pump somewhere but the specs tell a different story (more legroom in 2025 vs 2022) 2022 Front head room, 40.5 in. Front leg room, 41.7 in. Front shoulder room, 57.6 in. 2025 Front Head Room 38.9 in. Front Leg Room, 43.3 in Front Shoulder Room , 57.6 in.

238 miles out of a 212 mile SR AWD, 75ish mph middle of summer, AC on. Should make a post about minimum range.... same car, same journey, 16F outside temp.... 160 miles

NiCD would form crystal like structures internally if the battery wasn't fully depleted so if you always went to 50% or so then charged over time the crystals build up effectively cutting off capacity so the 'memory' was a reduced capacity, it said 100% when full but at 50% (in this example) it...

The original equipment (OEM) tires on a Mustang Mach-E typically have a load rating of 103 or 104 If Ford realizes you've fitted a 99 then you might get charged for 4 new correct spec tires at lease end.

Search for MyQ garage opener. Works from an app and has the added benefit that you can check the status of your garage door from anywhere. Pretty cheap and easy to install.

Ford are absolute dicks, for their corrosion warranty to kick in there needs to be holes, and you'd better be under 36k miles no matter the age. (i.e. 2 years old, 37k, sorry pal, out of warranty).

Went to Ford main dealer, how much for a 20k service on a Mach-E and what's involved? Get handed a pamphlet showing oil change, engine air filter etc. I tell them it's an EV (There's 3 sat outside on their own sales forecourt). Oh, it's electric.... it doesn't need anything then. So yeah...

Genuine question... you arrive at hotel, someone is already plugged in (all chargers full), what happens?

Why wouldn't you just put it in 1PD and use your left foot on the 'usual' pedal?

SR AWD guessing 260 miles in the summer... impressive. But couldn't manage 160 in the winter... depressing

On the non GT''s the front and rear motors are different hp and the front switches off around 35mph, so you're only AWD to that point if acceleration or conditions require it.

Walmart will offer "everyday low prices", not necessarily always the cheapest, but the best value based on local electricity costs and competition. If the competition in the area is 65c per kW then they can charge 64c and be best value.

Did the dealer have it in the same spot for 2 years? Or did they move it outside in the Winter as it wasn't selling and no one wants to buy an EV in the winter. It may very well have seen sub zero temperatures for extended periods just not under your ownership.

Was it a Mustang EV Vs a Charger EV? Mustang lost. Was it a 5 door slightly jacked up hatchback Vs Muscle car? Hatchback lost Was it a $59k car vs $55k car? 55k car lost. Good showing but not good enough these days.
