    Can two members do a LFP vs NMC Winter comparison?

    I have read that LFP need more heat in cold weather thus making the winter range worse. Can two Owners with two newly identical cars, One NMC and one LFP , do a “fallow me“ road test (identical climate and cruse use etc, maybe 100 plus miles or more in sub freezing weather, starting from the...

    Faulty math article on EV v ICE

    Yes It truly sucks living here and being an all EV household. Part of the the reason it is so high is our T & D charges. Solar arrays can connect to the Grid for free and Solar Owners get a free ride with No T & D to export and none to import from the grid when the sun does not shine. Even...

    It looks like Sacramento is getting some Mach E Service Vehicles

    Police? City use? I do not know….there over a dozen. All in basic white, no pearl. I am also suprised at dealer inventory for civilians. Every dealer has 8-10 units in stock. No need to order one anymore, I guess.

    Who bought an extended warranty?

    Just wait. It does nothing until the factory warranty is over. Buy it at 35k miles or 35 months…so much can change in 3 years and they are prorated even if you do not use them. Flood is the cheapest. If you buy, get lighting! A headlight bulb is nearly $2k and they do not last forever.

    Talking to owner of Genesis GV60

    I do miss some of it’s simplicity not having a Mach E any longer as it was very simple. For the average automotive driver, they care how fast they are going and how far they can go. The Mach E does that well. ….the Hyundai/genesis/Kia displays can get busy……..but if Ford could provide an...

    Talking to owner of Genesis GV60

    I do enjoy knowing range with climate use. Especially in the cold winter. It does affect my climate setpoint decisions. I also like knowing my charge rate right on the dash. Finally knowing where the energy going is good too. Maybe it’s too much but as I am an Engineer, the more the better...

    Stuck and phone as a key not working

    Same thing happened to me in July of 2022. You cannot rely on PAAK. I had to have the wife bring me a key and at the end, for some reason, my car did a full factory reset. This was right after getting an OTA that morning. So no passcode. Since Fordpass will restore your car after you log in, I...

    Trade in Value

    If we If we could only have that market again. Whoever bought my Premium ER AWD in July 2022 lost over $12k selling it in January of this year And paid me a mint for it. But it’s across the board. Hyundai, Tesla, Kia- EVs, Lightning, Mini’s etc. just back to the way it was prepandemic...

    A bit of my old Mach E now lives on a Maverick Hybrid

    I was going to sell these when I sold my Mach E but found out from a buddy that they fit Maverick. So they sat in storage for a long time while my Son waited 491 days for his order. Also the TPMS is the same too. So a nice upgrade to 18” Michelins and Aero wheels. He will trend his MPG over to...

    What Do You Hate About Your Mach-E?

    Winter efficiency and winter range loss. Frankly, there should be an independent test and universal rating on winter range for EVs. Premium ride on 19” is terrible but vastly improved with 18”s.

    Hey Ford! Can we get mi/kWh on the instrument cluster?

    agreed. If the competition can give it why can’t ford? The center is the trip Mi/KWH you also can click and see mi/kWh since last charge and the number on the bottom is overall since last reset. It’s also nice to have your charging rate…. And battery heating status (red coils in battery...
