    North Carolina Looks to Remove Public EV Chargers

    Some people in NC want to fight the stereotype of it being a backward hick state. Then there's this guy trying to pass this law...

    Easily broken glass?

    It was the 5G waves beamed at your car from that Verizon store that did it

    Summer is here! Ugh!

    I would just like to endorse Leon Russell on your radio...

    California NO drill front license plate sticker

    I got the sticker, agreed that it's only incrementally better than a plate but I like keeping the smooth contour of the front AND not drilling into my beautiful, beautiful car.

    Got stranded at a Charger 750 miles from home, Mach-e had to be towed away on dollies after waiting 8 hours

    I get you're pissed and I would be too. But this, right here, isn't that the opposite of trolling? Isn't proactively finding people with problems and fixing them just good customer service?

    Forum Members who joined the Mustang Club of America (MCA)

    Looking forward to it. And out in the real world, I have not encountered any actual hostility from Mustang owners. A little bit of a raised eyebrow... and it's clear most don't think it's a "true" Mustang... but they've been nice about it, curious about it, and want to talk about it and learn...

    Forum Members who joined the Mustang Club of America (MCA)

    I joined for the discount. I would stay joined but the snottiness is too much to bear. If that's how they feel, then y'know... f-em. They can do without my renewal money. Gatekeepers are the worst part of any fanbase, for anything.

    Co-Pilot360 and BlueCruise: ADAS doesn't perform that great in practice.

    I drive many of the same roads, especially 280, and I've been pretty happy with BlueCruise... but I don't consider it a self-driving option so much as enhanced driver assist. Even when it's hands-off I often have a hand on the wheel and make subtle corrections - unlike your car stubbornly...

    Advice for long trip?

    I have nothing to add to above info except to say it's probably going to be WAY less stressful than you think (unless you will be crossing a "charging desert," just prepare accordingly).

    Some basic detailing questions

    New to this myself. 1) I put Hybrid Solutions Ceramic on a month ago and it's held up super well (have done one wash since, plus some spot detailing here and there). I do have a butter wax (Chemical Guys) I am going to apply after my next wash to see if it gets even more sparkle. I doubt it...

    So Bluecruise nearly got me into an accident earlier this week...

    This happened to me with Blue Cruise once as well. It hit the line, crossed it briefly, but also knew it -- it went red on that side and played the alert tone. And that's just mystifying. I can kind of understand if the system was "confused" and couldn't recognize the line (it would not inspire...

    Ford Streaming: What the heck is it?

    I got an email. I have a '22 and apparently they come with one month of complimentary Ford Streaming, which I have now used up. But, I've read very little about what it does. The email itself makes it sound purely Alexa-related... but... I also can't imagine that people will pay an additional...

    Ford Streaming: What the heck is it?

    I can't seem to find a definitive answer, but it seems to me this is something purely Alexa-related? Or am I missing something? Context: My "complimentary" Ford Streaming is about to expire and I honestly have no idea what it might be doing for me, or why I'd want to renew it (I don't use Alexa).

    The honeymoon is starting to wear off and the brakes are getting increasingly frustrating to me

    I have a 22 but otherwise same specs ER/AWD/exclusive 2-pedal driver and haven't noticed this at all. Maybe sometimes I brake a little harder than I expected, based on previous cars, but that doesn't happen too much. I'm coming from a Prius where I am used to trying a light touch on the brakes...

    EV Routing For Apple Maps Now Available Via Carplay & SYNC in Mach-E

    Limited use, but it's worked nicely so far -- and it's estimate of battery percentage on arrival has been very accurate so far.

    Some real-world data on the 91kWh MachE battery

    What was your miles/kwh for the trip?

    Anyone using Alexa in their Mach-E?

    It's not a matter of love or hate, I don't get why the icon has to be there whether you want it or not. It should be optional (and I would opt to remove it). It's amazing that Ford has hidden its own logo, yet puts Alexa right in front of your face, 100% of the time, whether you want it or not.

    Much 23 seems about right based on my transit time and also some others on here. Be ready next week!

    Four days, then I believe 11 days to KC. Then after that it was like the car vanished in a black hole for 3+ weeks. Keep the faith.

    01/03/22 Build Week Chat

    From "shipped" to arrival at my Bay Area dealer was 36 days. Longest part was the KC-Bay Area stretch. Assuming it ships within a couple of days that seems like an accurate window... although I imagine there are wildcard factors that can slow it down or speed it up.
