    Pushed Over the Edge.

    That is true, but the delivery time was not the issue. I was more put off by the dealer bitching about corporate ford and not being able to properly guide me to where I could update my order. I own a model S, 3, and now a model Y and with all of their faults the vertical integration of the...

    Pushed Over the Edge.

    This is correct. I think the challenge I have is that if you make a mistake on your tesla order the stores can assist. In fact the minute you place your order you get a text from a matched representative to ensure that you chosen the right configuration. Luckily the unit that I ordered from...

    Pushed Over the Edge.

    Im selling the S it was a 14 and the charging curve sucks. I modified the S lowered, Custom headlights, next gen seats.. but the old battery chemistry and degradation made it useless for all but city commutes. My 3 is a beast and my Y is now the family hauler. Also, I am from NY so you...

    Pushed Over the Edge.

    My story is too long and boring for this forum but the long and short of it is that I had to cancel and resubmit 3 orders tying up 1500 bucks because the dealers were unwilling to update the features that I had requested in my original order to reflect AWD over RWD. I listened to 2 dealerships...

    Pushed Over the Edge.

    Hi Everyone, After multiple back and forth conversations with 2 dealers and ford directly, I decided to cancel my order and just buy another Tesla. It seems as though Fords challenges with their dealer network are insurmountable at this time and I was not willing to spending any more time to...

    What would make you cancel your Mach-E reservation and buy something else?

    Agreed.. This is the one and only big issue that I have and I am guessing this will lead to most canceled orders. The car looks fantastic.

    What would make you cancel your Mach-E reservation and buy something else?

    The thing that may make me cancel my order is this ordering process. Ford Inc and my dealer are completely out of sync. They are complaining about fords reservation and ordering process and putting me in the middle of getting things done. Im now getting annoyed.

    Max charging

    Due to the fact that there is a 10KW buffer there is no difference between charging to 80% or 100% in terms of damage to the battery. You literally should not have to worry about it.

    Shadow Black on some Mach 1 Wheels (Photochopped).. Thoughts?

    Please note that my image also includes a ~ 1.5 drop on coil springs.. That I have done with every car I have owned since 1999..Roughly 10 cars.

    Shadow Black on some Mach 1 Wheels (Photochopped).. Thoughts?

    These wheels are 8.5 and should be able to just fit the stock 225 width tires if you stick with 19s.

    Shadow Black on some Mach 1 Wheels (Photochopped).. Thoughts?

    The Load capacity is 2000lbs per side so.. it should be more than adequate. LOL..Fingers Crossed.

    Shadow Black on some Mach 1 Wheels (Photochopped).. Thoughts?

    Now that I know the bolt pattern of these wheels I will be ordering them as soon as I get my production date.

    What would make you cancel your Mach-E reservation and buy something else?

    You can definitely road trip any 200+ mile EV in the US using the Electrify America and EVgo network alone. Tesla's network is just more reliable, expansive, and easier to use. I use superchargers on my S because it costs me nothing (unlimited). I charge my 320+ mile model 3 at home and it has...

    What would make you cancel your Mach-E reservation and buy something else?

    It was a warranty repair. Early Model S's used a different designed motor that largely had a 30-60k mile life. The new ones are bulletproof.

    What would make you cancel your Mach-E reservation and buy something else?

    I would check out the Outofspec youtube channel's 70 mph range tests before deciding that a Tesla is better than the other manufacturers for road trips. Tesla has the superior DC charging infrastructure, but most people charge at home and only rarely use public infrastructure. Ive seen a couple...

    What would make you cancel your Mach-E reservation and buy something else?

    I still own both a 2015 and 2020 (3 and S). My buddy has offered to buy my S, but Im debating selling it as I have modified it and it has a brand new motor.

    What would make you cancel your Mach-E reservation and buy something else?

    As a Tesla owner twice over I will also say that the service and support that Tesla offer is awful. I have made a lot off of Tesla stock but the service is the worst in the industry.. which is why I am here.

    How will you mod your Mach-E?

    5.6 is a lot of road clearance but I think the criticism is over offroad clearance. Many cars have much lower ground clearance (5.5 in the Model 3, 4.6 on the Model S). Its all a preference thing. I will never off road my car. I think an additional inch would improve aerodynamics and handling...

    AWD Mach-E Slip Test vs Model Y by TFL

    Was this a power issue. The Model Y performance that they tested vs a base awd model does not seem to be a fair match up. Maybe it is not a power thing, but it sure looks like it.
