As someone who owns both a GT and a Premium, either will be fine. However, if you go with the Premium, do yourself a favor and never ever ever drive a GT (same reason I'm avoiding the GTPE)! When I first got the Premium, it was nothing but grins and happiness about the acceleration and...
I've had some growing pains but things have smoothed out for me. To the point I was so happy with the car I got a 2nd MME and gave the first to my wife (being generous, she stole it from me). I've been exclusively using PAAK on Android (with a OnePlus no less). If you haven't already, make sure...
This has been driving me nuts trying to figure out the pattern to this behavior. Also tried setting height adjustment and poring through the settings looking for "useless button push to raise it 12 inches". 23 GT. Have never had this happen on my 21 Premium.
Ford, please just leave PAAK alone. There's been significant improvement. Can't remember the last time I've had issues. I even switched to fingerprint locks on my house so I no longer have to carry keys.
And, I would refuse to pay any subscriptions, especially for something that's been free for...
I have a reminder on my calendar to call and threaten to quit just before my current special offer expires and I convert to month-to-month. Then, they offer me another $5 a month special offer ($86-ish/yr after royalties and fees). It's a pain to do it twice a year (2 cars) but it's worked for...
I live near a tollroad so I have tolls set as an avoidance in navigation. Otherwise, it ends up avoiding the parallel free highways and tells me hop on the turnpike for one exit trips. However, any trip requiring a charge, I use the turnpike (I-90). Of course, my roadtrips happen infrequently...
I just did this exact thing. Trip tomorrow morning - Plug in car now so I don't forget. Click Charge to 100%. Set a departure time for tomorrow morning. Car sits at 100% all night. Remember to delete departure time tomorrow so it doesn't warm up next Thursday will I'm sitting in my home office...
Now if only there was a way to precondition on demand! I work from home, so I don't have a regular departure time. Best I can do is start the car 15 minutes early and extend the time once for an additional 15 minutes.
With Progressive (Ohio), switching Alfa Romeo to Mach-e was a wash. Switching Subaru Outback to 2nd Mach-e GT raised it $200/yr. $1288/yr for a 21 Premium and a 23 GT with 100/300 and $500 deductible.
Try rebooting the Sync system. On your steering wheel, hold the volume button down while pressing the right arrow (upper right button) for 10 seconds. This will reboot the Sync system and can be safely done while the car is running, stopped at a light. After the Ford logo displays, you can turn...
Maybe something like this:

Definitely! Your post reminded me, it needs to be far enough back to avoid the snow pile from plowing. Maybe something like this (scaled way down to a single pole, 2 ft high, just large enough for charger:
Now to find a woodworker!
Thanks both of you! I like the metal bracket from the This Old House example. I just assumed there were products out there to provide some protection to the charger and cord. Will probably need to figure out a custom cabinet or top and side shelter. I know they're outdoor-rated but want to...
Any recommendations on a setup for a freestanding L2 charger at the end of my driveway?
I have a driveway that's shaped almost like an L, with a slight turn to the garage and space to pull in straight and park 2 cars outside. I'm very happy with my "dumb" Grizzl-e charger in the garage. But...
Day 2 after bringing home the new 23 GT!!!!!!!
Speed: Wow, I thought the Premium was fast! The same silly grin I got from driving the Premium 2 years ago is back and I can't help tapping the gas and taking off whenever I'm on an empty stretch of road. Slow, steady pressure on the gas pedal is...
I opened it once 2 years ago and thought this is a great storage space, too bad it's just as much of a pain to open as a real hood. I stored my Ford charger in it "just in case" and haven't opened it since except for adding windshield fluid.
My wife has been stealing my 2021 Premium way too often. Almost have her convinced to get a 2nd Mach-e.
For the 2023 there is only a difference of 2k between the Premium 91kwh and the GT (can't justify the price difference for the PE, even though Magneride is tempting). I know what you gain...
For me it's all about which update has recently been applied. Over the last year (all using PAAK) the pattern has been a noticeable delay before the car wakes while I stand awkwardly pressing the button and hoping it's not raining. Then an update comes that fixes it and it works perfectly...
