Energy storage with "trickle charging" & smart usage is the "simple" solution to all of this... and not just batteries and charging overnight. We need better energy storage at all levels - homes, neighborhoods, chargers, grid level. Generation to cover demand over a 24 hour period isn't...

I think it's the summer tires of the GTPE. It went to around 40°F here in CT this past week and I've noticed the same thing when turning hard left. I was waiting until the first week of Dec to put the winter tires on but it went a bit colder than normal the past week, so I may need to switch a...

Assuming you are in a single family unit & have proper permitting(if you don't - have electrician get it), then ask the HOA to specify the bylaws that are in violation. Assuming they can't provide it, tell them to F off.

For my MME GTPE, last winter I went with studded Hakkas. They provided amazing handling to the point it was difficult to have "fun" in 8" of snow. The downside is of course that the road noise was high. Since last winter was my first with with an EV, I wondered if the reduced range was a...

You are overthinking this. Just try with your current charge setting of 85% and see how it goes. Frankly, if you have 30%, you should be fine to get home 55mi with no problems.

I'm sure this is exactly what happened. Dealing with Amazon in a different industry, it was a Sales deal, giving a bit of money(not enough to justify this), and they want it by Prime Day or something like that so it can be part of an announcement. And then someone like Jim F probably said...

The kids will like the button. Let them try it before you spend money and have to install it. Another good option for kids... the AT&T hotspot in the car. I was able to get it for $200 for the whole year by calling AT&T and I told them I don't want it to auto-renew as I'll make that...

The Ford floormats are really great, better than WeatherTech IMO. I have the AOSK 2nd row back seat protectors, but mine just don't stay on. They are very helpful though. I was able to put a wood pallet in the back of my MME last week and didn't have to worry about the back of the seats...

I'll back you up, OP, and I have 21K miles so far, 10000 of which were long trips using BC. BC switches to "Keep your hands on the wheel" mode without much warning. I'd like a nice, non-alarming, ding when it happens. I too like to drive with my left hand on the top of the wheel and it'...

I got this too… filled out the survey and said since I use it daily, this is indicative that Ford’s back end systems suck.

I'll be the dissenter here. I got my GTPE in Dec. I did an 8000mi month long cross-country road trip back in May. I also just drove ~700 this past weekend to Rochester, NY. So I've put my butt in the seat for plenty of experience. I am relatively tall at 6'4". For my long trip, I thought...

Will aftermarket add-ons increase value at all? I have subwoofer, U1000 dashcam, front bug deflector, Tesmanian roof shade, Torklift hitch. All with pro installs.

If you are staying in downtown Burlington, there are some public L2 chargers on the street and in public garage. I used that overnight to fully charge up.

I got a Thinkware U1000 front/rear. I had a shop install it while I had them install the sub everyone on the forum talks about. I don’t have the time or knowledge to properly install that myself. They said the dashcam install wasn’t bad and I printed the directions from the forum for them. They...

I had the same thing happen with a Velcro visor thing last night. The car was fine.

I’m on a road trip and my front grill camera caught a rock in KS. I don’t think BC uses the camera as it’s been fine since.

Switching to/from snow tires on my GTPE, all 4 fit in the back with the seat down.

I'm currently on a cross-country trip in my MME. For this leg, we left from the Kalispell, MT area and went to West Yellowstone, MT. I charged up to 100% overnight at my brother-in-law's house and then charged up at EA in Missoula and Butte, both of which were great at 160kW to start and...

I imagine you are not used to hearing this, but I'm jealous of your energy costs at 4.7p/kWh. In my state in the US, I pay $0.24/kWh from my provider, which converts to around 18p. Luckily my solar is offsetting. What a savings for you though on the BMW vs MME!

You will get over this range anxiety soon enough with being able to plug it in at home all the time, and lots of other places. Would I like more DC Fast Chargers??? yup, but that'll come with time. I've only DC fast charged a handful of times and never really when not on a road trip except to...
