  1. anyone ever experience brief blurred vision from acceleration?

    So, as a preface to this, I have done several wide-open-throttle pulls, and have never had an issue with the MachE's acceleration. However, every once in a while, the motor dynamics and the car's initial conditions will be just right so that I get serious whiplash. I had one such experience the...
  2. Anyone rotate their tires yet?

    I have experience doing this for an ICE, but not an EV. I am worried I will jack it up at the wrong point and mess up the battery. Has anyone successfully done this? Do I need any special equipment (besides a standard jack and torque wrench) or should I just take it to the Ford dealer?
  3. MachE is a legend

    Man, I have to say, after about 4 months of ownership, I still at a minimum get 1 random stranger per week coming up and complimenting the car. Granted, Grabber Blue stands out, and I make it a point to keep my car clean at all times, but I'm pretty sure 50 years from now the MachE will be...
  4. Where can I buy Grabber Blue Metallic touch up paint?

    Got a little scratch on my car was wondering where I can buy authentic, real-deal grabber blue metallic touch up paint. It's such a unique color that I'm concerned of knock-off brands that don't match.
  5. Hit 100mph in my MME

    I've been on a road trip in the northeast the past few days, was going about 80mph, and I came across a nice, long flat stretch of road with no cars whatsoever. I am normally a very conservative driver, but I figured this was my chance to really test it out so I floored it. Hit 100 and then...
  6. EA Plug & Charge through BlueOval is kind of a ripoff

    I did my first road trip with my MME and burnt through all the free BlueOval EA credits. Plug & Charge worked great (just plug it in and it starts charging with no hassle), but for the last leg of my trip, I had to pay for the electricity, and I was surprised to learn it was still costing 44c...
  7. Anyone done carbon fiber wheels yet?

    Very interested if anyone has tried carbon fiber wheels on their MachE. If so, I have a few questions: What did it cost you? How does it impact efficiency? How does it impact acceleration? How does it impact ride quality (particularly the effect on the bounciness when you hit a pothole)? Do...
  8. What to do about someone who unplugged my car

    Not much more to the story than the title. A Tesla drove up to my car in a parking garage, parked next to me, and unplugged a L2 charger from my car and plugged it in his. Thankfully the car is fine. I have his license plate written down... is there any way I could look up this individual's...
  9. Recommendation for MicroFiber cloth that won't scratch?

    I bought a small bottle of spray detailer, and now I just need to get a few cloths. My primary concern is that I don't want anything that might scratch the paint. Curious to hear what everyone uses.
  10. Some real-world data on the 91kWh MachE battery

    Took my MachE on a road trip the other day. It was the first time in New York that temps were in the EV sweet spot range (60F - 70F), and I wanted to see how the MachE would perform. The TLDR version is: I drove 125.39 miles which took the battery from 99% to 57%. Extrapolating this gives the...
  11. Super Cheap DCFC electricity?

    So for the first time, I tried out DCFC. Previously I had always been using Level 2. I was in a city-owned municipal parking garage, and I used the FordConnect app to fire it up. Gave me about 22kWh of charge in 10 minutes before it faulted... the FordPass app said the cost was .40c per kWh...
  12. Future of BlueCruise...

    Loving my MachE and have been experimenting with BlueCruise lately. It's good for what it is (not a true auto-pilot), and if Ford is listening, some ideas for what would make me keep my subscription to it once my included trial is up. The ability to tie in to the car's navigation system, and...
  13. First song once your car arrives?

    Instead of us wallowing in misery about delivery delays, I figured I'd start a fun thread. When the car finally rolls on the lot, what's the first song you plan on playing? For me, it'll be Johnny Cash's "One Piece at a Time." The song is quite literally the story of the MachE ? By the time I...
  14. How long to wait before ceramic coating?

    About to take delivery of a brand new MachE... literally rolled off the factory a week and a half ago. I know that you typically want to wait a few months before applying a wax to allow the car's paint to cure... is this the same for applying a ceramic coating? If so, how long should I wait...
