I pulled the plug in November and went with an used e-tron, haven’t regretted once. Also sold my Ford stock last week and doubling down on WV-group instead.
Id3 owners in Europe are reporting problems with the 12V battery dying, and WV is trying to fix that with software update (which will have to be performed at the shop, car left overnight). e-tron forums are speculating if the HV battery charges the 12V as in some literature it says it does, but...
For anyone questioning if the wait of MEE is worth it. Reporting in after one month and thousands miles with an e-tron, which I bought after tired of waiting for the delivery of my early reserved MEE:
-the importance of reliable, rapid charging speed is way undervalued character in the EVs...
I got a Premium Plus 2019 CPO with about 1000 miles on it for 52k roughly.
Been very happy with the car so far. It seems early production problems were sorted out by the time mine was produced (very late 2019, manual reads 2020 actually). No issues so far and with OBDeleven I’ve been able to...
I had quite an early reservation number and converted my reservation to order on pretty much day 1 when it came possible. I was very excited of the MEE until I saw the built-date estimate end Feb. took a test drive with an audi and bought it two days later.
still going to take the MEE for a...
Got one too. Premium ER. Where does this put my delivery realistically? I’m really close to canceling if someone is in need of one in SW Florida.
Your vehicle is scheduled to be built the week of January 25 2021.
Does anyone know the frequencies the modem uses? Wondering if the US export would work as-is in Europe.
Also what workarounds there are to get around ATT locked sim? I believe they use e-sim.
Alternative view: if Chinese government is subsidizing a certain product, say EV manufacturing in this case, why would you restrict the flow of Chinese tax payers money coming to US consumers (in the form of an EV in this case) rather than welcoming them open hands? If the economy would be open...
MEE will have recalls for sure. Soon enough this forum is full of people posting issues with their new vehicle, especially with the first production year. Just being realistic...
I wonder what the new EV strategy will be? New CEO needs to show quick results and EVs are consuming a lot of R&D money with very little revenue so far.
On the other hand they mention MEE there at least as part of their future product vision..
As a man myself, knowing how we operate- I’d rather have my MEE built by women for quality reasons ?
But seriously, thank you Ford for giving us insight on how they’re practicing the assembly already.
That shiny screen attracts a lot of dust and is full of fingerprints, same problem the e-tron has in many of the reviews I’ve seen. Don’t know if Tesla does it in any different way.
Now that my delivery seems more and more likely to take place in 2021, will have to keep an eye on Audi and how fast they can start delivering in the US. Ford, I hope you’re reading this! ?
My dealer says if I cancel, they’ll still receive the car and just sell it to whomever. He says his GM was confident they’ll sell all the MEEs they get.
That was me and I’d remind it’s the EV guy at one dealer saying it, don’t know his source/if he just made it up. I’ll definitely keep following up with them as I have an order in with them and report back as soon as I know. If demos start popping up at dealers, quite few of us are going to make...
