    Mach-E GT Delivered, But Dealership Owner Took It. [PSA: Pick Up Your Ordered Car Within 7 Days]

    A reminder to negatively rate the xxxx out of this dealership on all media and esp. Google, as many of us do online homework before even calling a dealer.

    Maximizing Your Battery in Winter - Tips for New EV Owners

    Another one, I go on my Tesla phone app about 30min before leaving work in winter and turn on cab heating. The battery conditioning logo pops up shortly after that, snow melts off, and I get full regen braking. Every time I forget to do this I discover how much I hate two pedal driving.

    Here's when solar panel owners (and everyone else) should charge

    Another one, electricity from the grid after midnight is much more interference (noise) and fluctuation free, so you get cleaner power.

    Tesla Starts Selling a J1772 Home Charger

    Get a Blue Oval sticker to put over the TESLA logo, or it will hypnotize and convert you;)

    My GT Performance Edition (GTPE) delivered!

    Sick slick ride. Congrats! OP, I used to have the tennis ball marker but kept getting in the way and a PITA to move when I got a new car, you may want to look into laser park assist, powers off your garage opener motor outlet, all you need is a broom to angle it to point to the reference spot...

    Why everybody is so crazy about GTPE?

    Dang, my 2015 base Model S only does 3.9s since a cca. 2018 WiFi garage overnight software upgrade. Never drove an automatic, I was a 6MT rear biased Haldex eLSD AWD fanatic R32, S60R, TurboX, S4 was my progression. Still aching for a post-2013 7MT 911 4S though. OK Bob, now shut up and stop...

    My Mach-E Was Stolen

    Very sorry to hear, vehicles missing more than 24h usually will be non-driveable but do not despair, a friend had his car returned from 3 states away a month later with major aftermarket upgrades (no parcel shelf brakelit crown though). Gangs use juvies for serial crimes, all know slate will be...

    Old habits are hard to break....

    I sometimes ask if I could use my gas points to pay the electric bill:cool:

    TESTED: California Route 1 Beats EPA Range by 39 Miles

    Additionally Tesla batt packs have 10% hidden unusable reserves, just to allow constant batt pack power cycling with empty cells on hand for longevity, even for 100% charge hoarders.

    My Phone Got Fried By Charging Mat

    My wife S10 split from battery doubling in size after she habitually had it both plugged in for Android Auto and on the mat for two years in our Honda Odyssey.

    BlueCruise is not out yet, but a lawsuit has been filed already.

    Parasites also need to survive, ATLA sponsored shows make sure that Boomer and Karen sue first before they talk to the neighbor.

    Ruby is HOME! The good, bad and ugly

    IMHO if Ford wants to do well with this car they may want to consider these two goals. 1. Designate an EV salesman at each dealership, all should get trained and pass EV exam before selling, I am talking about understanding fundamentals of electricity and efficiency to show the MME's true...

    Ford lots are empty!

    Just in support of this, we ordered our daughter a Subaru XV and we put the reservation down a day after VIN was created in Japan, car now on a ship to the US, virtual VINs only at all five dealers in the tristate area around us. Teslas other than MY and M3 nowhere to be seen before September...

    What else have you electrified?

    All my gardening and lawn tools are EGO Power 56v now. Have everything they made except the power pack and lawn mower, the blade edger and string trimmer on fixed shafts, the rest on their multitool system, I can even prune my hedges with the 22" trimmer on a pole at 15ft, pretty impressive...

    Dealer needs special equipment to repair MME

    Tesla already lost two techs to battery pack electrocutions, hope they train the techs well.

    Dealer not cancelling my order after I have already purchased an abandoned GB FE.

    These greasy paw blood sucking parasite fatsos are begging to get cut out of the automotive ecosystem. Once the analog multidecade groomed for abuse hepta/octogenarians die off, the 21st century citizens will vote with their fingers on the keyboard.

    Battery for Frunk Release to store in bumper

    I keep the main unit on my center console plugged into the 12v outlet, the rest in trunk with car specific tools (nosecone removal wedge) . So far it helped start a small sedan and Toyota Tundra at my workplace parking lot these past two winters. Chickened out and had the 12V battery replaced...
