    MyQ Possibly Introducing Subscription Service Model for Garage Door Opening via CarPlay?

    My Wife was using Livekey and Siri commands to open and close our garage door from her Outlander. Last month we were on vacation for a few weeks and we came back home the Siri commands were no longer working. It appears that Livekey is no longer supported or MyQ has it disabled? We can still...

    MachE used cars value really tanked this much?

    We basically used that car as a free rental for a couple months and then we ended up buying our car from another dealer in Avon Park!!

    MachE used cars value really tanked this much?

    Yeah, but where else can you find a dealer that will allow you to put 1500 miles on a demo MachE!!! Lol

    MachE used cars value really tanked this much?

    I think Weikert Ford ended up taking a beating on ours! Last time I drove by there they had lots of MachE’s sitting in their lot!!

    MachE used cars value really tanked this much?

    We sold our 21 premium 4EX to our local Ford dealer for $50k but that was 9 months ago! Carvana is still sending offers for it but the latest one was only for $25k!!

    Trip From Atlanta To Tampa And Back

    Did you stop by Fords Garage in St Augustine? I did a mini road trip up there which didnt require any DC charging since they had level 2 chargers at the hotel we stayed at. It was my first time using Blue Cruise and my Wife was freaked out by it! Lol W

    Trip From Atlanta To Tampa And Back

    It’s been a couple years since I tried to charge at Gainesville EA and that experience was a total disaster!! None of the chargers were working and the food at the Steak n Shake was horrible! Fortunately I was able to make it to the Lake City EA on I-10 and successfully charged there! Charged...

    First day here and this place has convinced me my 2023 MME will brick any minute. *Just so everyone is on the same page, I’m JOKING LOL*

    We sold our 21 premium 4EX after 18 months and 12k miles. One SVS alarm cleared by dealer with a software update. Main reason for selling was due to lack of confidence in the charging infrastructure!! We decided that a PHEV was a better fit for our needs.

    Is charging going to get much worse before it gets better?

    Ok, well it has been a couple years since I used it! Primary reason for selling our MachE was due to the charging infrastructure!!

    Is charging going to get much worse before it gets better?

    A couple years back I did a road trip up to PCB. Before heading back I stopped at a Harley dealer in Panama City to charge. I got enough charge there to make it up to I-10 ( Chipley EA ) and then charged one more time after that. ( Lake City, EA ) Back then there was no one else charging at any...

    MME vs Chevy Blazer EV

    Mainly due to the “ crappy charging infrastructure “ we decided to back up and go PHEV. No regrets after 6 months and 6,000 miles on Road Trips!!

    Do not use Florida Turnpike

    Yeah they just got 24 inches in two days but where I live we have had less than 2 inches for the year!!

    Advice for PHEV replacement?

    Shortly after buying our MME in July of 2021 we went on a 900 mile trip and stopped for charging 5 times at various EA stations. I had all of them to myself! Those were the days!! Lol

    Advice for PHEV replacement?

    The real test for fuel economy will come next month on our road trip to New Hampshire! I am hoping for at least 30 mpg? So far we are beating the EPA estimates on EV range and MPGE!! We averaged 3.5 miles per kwh on the MME but on the Outlander it has been around 2.9 miles per kWh so the MME...

    Advice for PHEV replacement?

    We have only had it for a couple months but so far so good. As for the Chademo port don’t know if I will ever use it? I was going to try it out at the Florida Mall yesterday but I have never seen an EA station so busy! Doesn’t make sense to wait in line for a Chademo charge!! Lol

    Advice for PHEV replacement?

    I ended up getting an Outlander PHEV to replace my Wife’s MME. It gets about 45 miles of EV range which is plenty for our local driving. Current tank of gas has 700 miles with 1/4 tank remaining. We will be taking it up to New Hampshire and back this May for a 3k mile road trip.

    Sick of the Ford Mobile Charger, recommendations for home charging?

    Another vote for the Grizzle. I had issues with the FMC as well.

    Marital Problems

    We recently sold the MME and just picked up a new Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV which my Wife drove home from Miami which is about 200 miles from where we live. I haven’t even driven it yet but she said it feels a lot bigger than the MME! We ended up going from HEV to BEV and now PHEV!!!

    “Real-World” Study Shows PHEV “Battery Only” Usage Much Lower Than Estimated

    We went from HEV to BEV but now I am thinking that a PHEV would be a better fit for our needs. Most of our trips are 30 miles or less with an occasional 100 mile round trip to Orlando. We are also planning a couple long road trips this year and both me and my Wife still have concerns about...
