I am a big fan of ceramic spray sealants. Although they are not as durable as ceramic coatings, they are faster and easier to apply and they are more forgiving if you leave a high spot or two. In the past, I have tried and liked Griots Garage 3-in-1 Ceramic Wax and Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions...
For those of you who are OCD about clean glass on your MME like me, I thought I would share my favorite glass cleaner. I want a glass cleaner that cleans really well with no streaks left behind. And since I tend to clean my windows nearly every day, it also needs to be a good value.
I...
Every so often, I see posts with questions about the best way to wash your MME. Just thought I would share my preferred car wash routine for my 2022 MME GTPE. Total wash time is 20 minutes using 3-4 gallons of water.
I basically do a rinsless wash using ONR or P and S Absolute. Materials used...
Today my wife's 2022 MME GTPE was parked at home in our driveway. I plugged in our Juice Box EVSE to top off the battery to 80%. But instead of stopping at 80%, the MME kept charging. I checked the app and noticed the battery was at 87%. It looked like it was going to charge to 100%. Neither...
My wife and I just returned from a road trip from LA to San Diego.
We had every intention of taking her 2022 MME GTPE on this road trip. After all, her MME is much bigger and more comfortable than my 2018 Tesla Model 3 Performance, especially for our two teenagers in the back seat.
The night...
So my wife was driving her relatively new 2022 MME GTPE on a 100-mile trip home today. She was using the Ford navigation to guide her home, since she was not familiar with the area.
About a third of the way home, the navigation went "kerflooey". First it started telling her to go in the...
So either there is a problem with my app, a problem with my MME, or a problem with me. I am guessing it's me. I need your help.
Here is what I am trying to do. My wife's MME is currently at a charge level of 85% and it is around 8:15pm Wednesday night. Tomorrow Thursday morning, she wants to...
My wife and I just did our first DCFC at an Electrify America station today. Overall it went smoothly. I do have two follow up questions:
1) I understand that proper etiquette is that, since the MME can charge at a maximum of 150kw, that we should use the 150kw unit and only use the 350kw unit...
My wife has had her 2022 MME for a couple of months. All of her charging so far has been at home using our Level-2 Juicebox EVSE. She is planning to go on her first extended drive that will require a level-3 charge.
In preparation for this trip, I suggested to her that she install the apps for...
Today is a scorcher. It is currently 110 degrees outside and my MME is parked in my driveway sitting in the sun. There is a very loud noise coming from the MME that I have never heard before. I also noticed that the slots in the front grill are open. I am guessing this loud noise is the cooling...
We welcomed home our new 2022 MME GTPE about a month ago.
I love car detailing and was looking forward to applying paint protection on the MME. My original plan was to quickly apply some Griot's Garage 3-in-1 Ceramic Wax shortly after delivery just to have some paint protection on it and then...
My wife is loving her new 2022 MME GTPE. But she ran into a minor problem while driving today.
She was listening to a podcast via Apple Carplay while driving on the freeway. While the podcast was being played over the MME's sound system, someone called her iPhone. She said that the ringer was...
I need help seeing the pony puddle lights. When I first got my MME, I thought I figured out how to make the puddle lights turn on by turning off the Bluetooth on my iPhone and making sure both fobs were away from the car. But over the last week, I have not been able to get them to come on again...
For those of you considering a DIY ceramic coating, I just tried Gyeon Cancoat Evo for the first time today and I highly recommend it.
Gyeon Cancoat Evo is a "light" coating, meaning that is designed to be super easy to apply and is a bit forgiving compared to other coatings. More specifically...
I read here on the forum that the MME only cools the battery while parked if it is plugged into an EVSE. Since my MME is parked in outside in direct sunlight many hours a day, I usually leave it plugged in (and I set the maximum charge percentage to 70%).
My question has to do with the...
Hey, everyone,
I just took delivery of my MME a few days ago and I love the car. But one thing that was frustrating me was not consistently seeing the lit-up pony puddle lights. I saw them once or twice but they would not show up again.
Just in case anyone else is having the same problem, I...
Hey, everyone,
If we don't plan to drive our MME GTPE for 6 or 7 days, what is the best practice when it comes to the state of charge and plugging in the car? My thought is to run the battery down to about 50%, set the upper charge limit to 50%, but keep the car plugged in. That way, the MME...
I just took delivery of a 2022 MME GTPE from Vista Ford in Woodland Hills and am extremely happy with my experience. I highly recommend Vista to anyone shopping for a MME in Southern California.
I placed an order back in Dec 2021. Here are the specific things that I loved about working with...
I just got "the" call from my Ford dealer that my 2022 MME GTPE is ready for delivery tomorrow. My wife and I still very excited about this car, but we are concerned about the HVBJB issue.
One question - if our HVBJB / Contactors go out, any idea of how far we would be able to drive the car in...
Last year, my wife and I decided to buy her a new EV. So back in Dec, 2021, we ordered a 2022 Ford MME GTPE. It is scheduled to arrive in mid July.
We have been very excited about her new MME, but we are concerned about the recent safety recall. Our Ford dealer said once the software update is...
