I get it, I do. But my point is that it’s in Tesla’s interest to have as many of us as possible charging at Superchargers

Bear in mind that it really is in Tesla’s interest to get us MME drivers paying to charge at their chargers ASAP.

Wonder if the delay is to fulfill Canadian orders? My 8300-ish order number is still showing a June delivery.

I don't mind the new Tesla Roadster but I'm never going to be in the market for a hypercar anyway. No, what I miss is actually the old personal luxury coupes like the mid-60s T-Bird, or things like the early 80s Toronado or Eldorado. THAT's what I'd love to see, but in the absence of that I can...

My local dealer has the pedestals in place and they’ve been doing prep work this week so I’ve got my fingers crossed. I live in a remote location where 50kW Flos are the best thing available and I understand the Ford unit is something over 150.

Any automaker who does a stylish 2dr EV immediately goes on my shortlist. The new Charger EV is already there but I’m crossing my fingers that Ford might do a true MME coupe for gen 2.

The longer I use it the more impressed I am with how controllable it is. ESPECIALLY in winter driving. When I first got the car I assumed the old advice of "never use cruise control in slick roads!" would apply to 1-pedal driving as well but as it turns out the regen is extremely well controlled.

You can coast even in Unbridled/Auto-Hold. You can modulate the accelerator pedal near the top of its travel nicely and make it coast. I can literally drive miles in city traffic without touching the brakes and getting every behavior I want out of the car with the accelerator pedal.

Northern Canada here. Yukon Territory, north of the 60th parallel. -40° is the same in F or C. We're a great example of how much adoption is affected by culture. Our territorial government invested in good purchase subsidies and they installed DCFCs in every town on the road network. Apparently...

I respect your objection, and if I had the choice I would have loved the option of a 2dr (I’m crossing my fingers that Ford makes this available in the 2nd gen). But for a variety of reasons, 2 door coupes are very, very rare now. The market for them is minuscule, for better or worse. And given...

My insurance company does as well, but that label has become largely meaningless. As I noted earlier in this thread, the PT Cruiser was officially classified as a "truck" too.

Set a charger as a nav destination.

Yeah, the more I read this thread the more comfortable I am with "car". I was parked next to a coworker's Dodge Charger sedan and I noticed the MME is just slightly taller, like within 3". It's a car. A nice, stylish car.

One of the things I'm curious about: Apple Maps and Google Maps both integrate fairly well with the Mach-E's nav, and now include special features for navigating to chargers. I wonder if anyone's tested yet to see if using Apple Maps/Google Maps to navigate to a charger will trigger preconditioning?

I suspect a lot of the "not a Mustang" backlash has been more anti-EV than anything else (though I'm pretty sure if Ford had at least offered a coupe variant that would have helped). Once people actually experience this car it's not hard to convince them.

I'm thinking your vehicle taste runs to the utilitarian, and by the time you'll be buying the Kia EV-3 and EV-5 will be on the market. Hopefully, so will the revamped Chevy Bolt. I wouldn't have any trouble recommending any of these for someone looking for functional transportation and who...

That sounds like a “them” problem

Anything with wheels is theoretically a truck to a Farmer 🤣

The Blazer is, legitimately, an SUV though. It's tall and vaguely truck-ish, Chev's stylistic attempts notwithstanding.

So, you raise a really good point here, but maybe not the one you think you are. Sure, when you say “Mustang” you think of a hairy muscle car like a Boss or a GT350, but that wasn’t how the nameplate started. That first Mustang was a stylish but fairly tepid coupe with an I-6. “Mustang” has...
