Arctic blast in my neck of the woods, so I'll see how it does with 12F Temps. Wind chill in the -10F, and I wonder how much all that convection will have an impact on it.
My initial thought was that this post is some kind of satire... but I'll assume you are serious.
The moment I took my ME to the detailer for ceramic coat he immediately suggested a PPF on the hood due to how aggressive it was sloped. I didn't listen to him and two months later I got a nice ding...
1) I feel like the update throttled current in certain scenarios to prevent the HVJB contactor from welding. Are you certain it doesn't?
2) I guess 'very few' is subjective... to my knowledge, Ford hasn't officially stated it, but sounds like a few %, and I consider anything less than a few %...
If you enjoy your Tesla then more power to you. I enjoy my ME.
If someone asks my opinion (happens from time to time) I'd recommend a MachE over a Y, but beyond that I could really care less.
I went through the same thing you're going through. Believe me, once you get the car, you'll forget all about it.
Freight shipping is a lot more complicated than you might think. Especially when it's coming from another country.
This is not 2-day delivery at Amazon.com. Believe me, you do not want a rushed shipment = banged up 'new' car. Moving a 5000lb object the right way via freight takes a long, long time. For what it's worth mine took about 2 months to deliver once it was built.
You are not living in reality. You seem like the type of person who goes out and pumps-up what some sales/marketing guy writes on a piece of paper.
I was one of those 50k MachEs that got recalled. Do you know the inconvenience/impact it had on my car? Zero. My HVJB had zero problems, and the...
I think you’re being a little extreme. One of the reasons the ME sold out early on is because a Premium eAWD XT with a 7500 tax incentive was an absolutely insane deal. I should know… I capitalized on it and would do so again in a heartbeat
The tax incentive makes it a no brainer. No tax...
haha good to see you’re enjoying the car. I’ve got the same type and haven’t had the HVjB issue but I rarely go full throttle. Half to 3/4 throttle and I can outpower 95% of cars on the road.
it is 100% possible. Ford is testing an E-version of the Cobra and it is smoking model S Plaids. Not street legal…but no question you can get more power with the right components.
Literally just happened to me as well. Since another forum member had it happen yesterday, I’m wondering if some new OTA update Ford did might have bricked it.
All in (taxes, fees, etc) I paid just under 60k for my premium. I partially paid that price due to the 7.5k rebate, but I love the car so much I’d pay 60k without a rebate if I had to do it again.
if they could make a GTPE without a 5 second limit, I’d pay around 75k to 80k for that.
This is a great thread for anyone who is thinking of getting an electrician to wire a home charging station. Super important to get it done right.
Glad you found the issue.
very informative. So I take it that after all of that we both agree that a turn produces more g-force than flying in a straight line? That’s all I was trying to say. Didn’t mean to imply that I knew more about jets than someone with a graduate degree in aerospace engineering.
