    OEM tires nearing replacement - suggestions

    My 21MMEGT is approaching 29k miles. Tires are at about 4/32 with one tire sporting a slow leak. I want to clear 30k and then likely replace all four and pick up hazard on them. Suggestions on best? I'm in DC area - we get a few weeks of winter weather, but not nearly bad enough to warrant...

    Using Uber Driving to Spread the EV experience

    Reposting the below that I wrote as a response in another thread - Thought it might interesting on its own. I've had my MME for almost two years - early on, I had people do this in any parking lot I pulled up in. Recently, I began driving for Uber with a few evenings a week with dual...

    Splitting seam on hornI

    I'm having an issue with a seam on the rubber covering the horn splitting - getting slightly worse over time. No accidents, so it's not damage from that. Sure, I lay on the horn if someone is being a tool and nearly causing an accident, but this is the first time I've seen this happen to a horn...

    EA Station Started Charge at 21+ kWh delivered

    I was charging at an EA station Columbia, MD on Friday, June 2, and I had the worst experience charging yet since started owning BEV and PHEVs in 2018. Further, I had a BEV skeptic with me that I was going to ",show how easy charging is." Picked a bad day for show and tell. 1st issue: When I...

    Free DCFC offered for 2023 Earth Day?

    I know last year EA had free charging for about 27 hours in honor of Earth Day, and EVGo has done that a few times, but I don't see anything this year - anyone know of free charging either today (April 22) or Memorial Day?

    Universal RFID card for charging?

    I have EV Institute chargers near my work, and they have a couple at one of the welcome plazas on 95 can't remember if it is the last Maryland before Delaware or the one in DE). I have a hard time getting them to work with the credit option (and the DCFS, by the way, is slow and expensive). I...

    EVGo Slow Charging Rates - even on 200kW stations

    I live.in Northern Virginia.with many EVGo stations in the area. My MME GT goes no faster than 44 kW on their 50 kW chargers, and 73 kW on their 200 kW chargers - even when I'm the only one at the bank of chargers and even in near optimal temperatures (67 degrees the last time I used it). Is...

    I upgraded my EA plan to the America Plus Plan this weekend. When I went to charge at an EA station, the plug n charge feature, which has been on since I took.ownership of my MME, didn't reflect the upgraded plan. Anyone know.if there is something I need to do to link the Plus Plan in the EA app...

    GPS random going haywire

    I've had a recurring issue with my 2021 GT GPS going haywire in the morning. Suddenly, the GPS can't find me or places me miles away in water. I was in Android auto for each time, but the issue was also when changing to the car navigation. When I took my phone off of the car and looked at maps...

    Best website to order parts - not a dealership

    I had a tire with a nail too close to the sidewall to repair, and needed to use the fix-a-flat good with the Ford pump to creep home. The goo use means the TPMS sensor has to be replaced. Dealership wants $90 for one. I found much less expensive options on Amazon at the right frequency, but I...

    Anyone have Michelin CrossClimate 2 tires?

    I ran over a nail into the sidewall of the factory Continental tires. I'm think about not just replacing that one tire, but swapping the set. I'm looking at the Michelin CrossClimate2 tires. IF you have these tires, what's been your experience? Here are the specs on the tires I'm looking at...

    Which charging networks are worth paid plan?

    I have owned my MME GT since Halloween 2021. I am close to using the last of the EA credits (500 to start - down to 49). I travel largely in the mid-atlantic states of PA, DE, MD, DC, and VA, and it seems EA and EVGo are the most frequent DCFG networks, and Chargepoint, Volta, Sema-connect, and...

    ADM Insanity for F150L

    The Sheehy Ford Dealer at Springfield, VA, who treated me fine when I bought my MME GT in October, has jumped into the ADM game with both feet. They have a Lightning Lariat, with an $81k MSRP, marked as $131k. My guess is either they don't want to sell it so they can show it off. Or, they want...

    Within a tick of 270 range

    With the short burst of warmth here in the DC area, I decided to go ahead with a 100% charge to see what the range would indicate. It was within a tick of 270 - the highest I've seen seen taking ownership on Halloween 2021. It will be interesting to see the real-world range once temps are...

    What is the G-force on the 0-60 in the GT?

    I need to know, as I just picked up my Shadow Black GT and punched it getting onto 95 in Virginia...and it literally took my breath away and made me feel like I was either jumping to warp or about to have an out-of-body experience. Anyone who doubts whether the MME should be in the Pony stable...
