When I look at your charging experience on the rental, I see some very obvious reasons for potential variances. First off, you are WAY up the charging curve. Once you hit 80% on DCFC, for any EV (including the MME) the charge rate is going to drop precipitously. The bulk of your charging was...
I decided to follow the same path. I resolved all the recalls, TSBs and CSPs at once. $7,500 lease credit was too good to pass up. The finance guy at BMW asked what I though of the Mach-e. I said is was the best car I ever owned, so the bar is set. Besides the car being great, I really...
I'm looking at trading my '21 for a new '23. $3k off 0% + leave all the recalls & CSP's behind, but the dealer is adding the usual crap that nobody wants.
Even though I am refusing to pay for it, I am concerned about the KARR security system. If you look it up, these are worthless and can...
This is the biggest reason I just put in an order for a BMW i4. Yes, stuff goes wrong, but Ford's inability to service the vehicles they've sold is getting out of hand. I guarantee you if the BMW needs work, they will get it in and they will get me a loaner. Plus they will warranty their work...

I hold the hanging tag upside down against the see through area of the windshield. I've thought about cutting it up and taping the actual transponder to the see through area. Such a PITA when people are piling up behind you and you can't get it just right.
I test drove a 2023 RWD eDrive40 last week and was really impressed. Seriously considering the 2024 AWD xDrive40 as a MME replacement. They are definitely listed as dual motor not single.
The odd thing is that the AWD xDrive has 396hp/443 lb-ft of torque/4.8 sec 0-60, and 307 miles of range...
As someone who is starting to think about replacing my 2021 MME, thanks for your review. The charging network and the price of the MY are certainly appealing, but the other aspects of the vehicle seem far less so.
What they aren't showing you is the 4 broken down EA stations just out of view in that Walmart parking lot. Poor guy was forced to buy a generator and propane tank just to continue his road trip.
Replacing at some point. Don't trust keeping the Ford past the worst-in-the-industry 3 yr warranty period. My wife wants me to get an Audi Q5 PHEV so she can steal it.
In 2021, I went with a MME ER AWD over the MYLR based on cost after the tax credit ($50k vs. $65k). I am seriously considering the MYLR instead right now for the same reason ($56K VS $46K).
That would blow. What if I was trading in a car and the dealer said he's going to give me more than book just so he could screw me on the price of the new car? Wouldn't that be the same scenario? If someone looked at the paperwork they could say I owe tax on the excess value the dealer "gave"...
