    I think EVERYONE has plans for such a car. In 10 years.

    It's not yours until you do something to it?

    Drop a fry between my seats and you'll walk the rest of the way to wherever we're going. :cool: Just sayin'. My RV is the only vehicle I own inside which food can be consumed (because it has a kitchen!). Yeah, I have no kids.

    Found an interesting "Delivered" car today (1/18) in Missouri

    I found this today. A car with an ETA of 1-1-1990, but a DELIVERED status, and Delivery Date of Today. This should give some hope to other folks (like me) who have cars that went backwards in time to an ETA of 1990. Oh... wait... sorry... up until yesterday, it had an ETA if the 19th...

    Shipped Mach-Es Arrive at Kansas City Terminal With Deliveries Imminent

    I think it is entertaining to watch how people feel ENTITLED to have inside information about the development and production processes of multinational publicly traded companies. Reality Check: You Aren't Entitled to information. There are laws about what you MUST be told. I'm sure Ford is...

    What is the normal percentage of charge to get 300 miles range on ER RWD?

    Anyone coming to read this thread, and has little or no experience with EVs and Lithium battery tech. Or anyone who thinks they will somehow code the car to give them access to that "extra" 11%. Not directed at folks who are also answering the same questions.

    What is the normal percentage of charge to get 300 miles range on ER RWD?

    The 11% unused “capacity” is not a conspiracy. It’s not marketing. It’s engineering. It’s been going on since your first iPod. It what every manufacturer does to protect the batteries from damage. Especially important because damage to Lithium ion batteries can result in fire. And you don’t...

    What's the Reason for the Delay?!

    The DC-DC converters were accidentally installed backwards and were converting DC to DC instead of DC to DC causing erratic anode curling and embarrassing electron leakage.

    What's the Reason for the Delay?!

    The intern put helium in the tires, instead of nitrogen. All the cars were floating away.

    Is the Mach E a viable long range daily commuter?

    I’ve considered it. But two things would need to happen: 1) I’d need the vaccine (and I’m pretty low on the list) and 2) Canada would have to open their border to us dirty Americans. I guess 3 things. I need a car.

    Is the Mach E a viable long range daily commuter?

    Yup. I’m that guy. I’m here like everyone else: I’ve ordered a Mach-E. And my ETA just went from 1/17 to 3/27. <sad trombone>

    Is the Mach E a viable long range daily commuter?

    Maybe when OP's friend said, "hasn't been getting good charges in the colder weather" he meant that at a DC Fast Charger, with a cold-soaked car, the charge RATE is much lower than it would be in warm weather. My Taycan could (under ideal battery conditions, Soc <10%, Bat Temp at >77°F) have a...

    What's the Reason for the Delay?!

    They stopped all to cars in Kansas City to remove the smuggled marijuana from inside the body panels. “What do you mean it’s LEGAL now?!?! Damn interns!!! We could have been moving coke!”

    What's the Reason for the Delay?!

    Perfection angers the gods. The cars were halted to add imperfections.

    Moar cupholders.

    What's the Reason for the Delay?!

    A møøse bit my Mach-E. Møøse bytes can be very painful.

    What's the Reason for the Delay?!

    The intern was adding an actual Ford logo on the cars. He’s been sacked.

    What's the Reason for the Delay?!

    Someone at the plant took Henry's statement too literally: "You can have it in any color you want, as long as it it Black". Three train cars of rattle cans have been seen moving towards Kansas City. Local Craigslist job postings we placed for "Graffiti Artists and Taggers" to come help repaint...

    What's the Reason for the Delay?!

    They accidentally installed AAA batteries instead of AA. Excessive rattling ensued. D batteries will be jammed into the extra space.
