I left home 5 hours ago and have driven about 3.5 hours. First charger wouldn’t accept my credit card info so had to call. I’ve been waiting at my second charging station for an hour and still don’t have a seat at the table. It will probably be 45 minutes to adequately charge. Another call to...

Planning a road trip and a Tesla Supercharger comes up in Marion, IL showing compatibility with my MME. Can anyone confirm that this location now has Magic Docks? Can I Plug n Charge? I assume I need to download the Tesla app.

So today I only have two rows of favorite SXM station presets. I had either three or four rows yesterday. I’ve restarted a few times and nothing changed. Has anyone else had this issue?

So making my second 1200 mile road trip, first time on a weekend, and ran into a real problem. First, the good: driving on Interstates and using Walmart EA chargers went extremely well. My last Interstate stop was busy, though, so I decided to leave right at 80% SOC to open up the space for the...

Saw my first Grabber Blue in the wild yesterday. An attractive Premium if I can properly identify my trim levels. Nice color. DH said it is one of the few blue cars he likes.

FYI, I just tried to cancel my Carvana account and have the data deleted. I created the account to get a quote when I wanted to sell my car. Car is now sold and I have a new MME. They won’t cancel an account unless you are a California resident. Just a consideration for those trying to reduce...

So on 1-26 and 2-1 I received Messages in FP of updates. Kept checking messages to see if Update 4.1 showed up. Well, today when I checked there was an Alert on my greeting page that 4.1.1 was installed on 2-2. There is no Message about it, just the Alert. Are they treated differently because...

Taking a road trip tomorrow and due to cold ideally I should stop to charge in St. Joe. The PlugShare reviews for the Ford recommended DCFC Speedy station are abysmal. Any other recommendations for a quick top off in St. Joe?

Taking the 4X MME south for the winter from SW Iowa to Destin, FL around the New Year for the first time. We usually do the drive in two days, stopping in Paducah, KY at a hotel that accepts dogs and has an EV charger. I’ve checked ABRP and they’ve added a couple stops likely due to cold...

I forgot to do anything special when I left for a 4 week absence. Just left my baby in a cold Iowa garage, not plugged in, and at 91% charge.. After two weeks she went into deep sleep mode. Got home last night and started her up. She came out of deep sleep mode right away, started right up...

I sold the ICE yesterday. After having a PHEV for three years the gateway drug-car did its job and convinced me to go EV. I’m so happy to be moving into the electrified future. Who else is without an ICE car now?

I just bought my second Mach E from Stivers Ford Lincoln (great experiences, no games, no ADM) in Waukee, IA—on the outskirts of Des Moines, the capital of IA. My salesperson said she has sold 6 MMEs. Four went to the Iowa City area, home of the University of Iowa, and two to me who lives in a...

Just sold my CR1 MME in anticipation of picking up my Premium in the next week or two. I‘m back in my Pacifica PHEV for the duration and can’t believe how much I miss the EPony already.

So I go from my home in SW IA to Minneapolis about once a month. It requires one stop but I usually make two. It adds 30-40 minutes to the 5 1/2 hour trip. If that, because we would usually stop twice anyway. Both stops are DCFC which has been seamless with the EA PnC, and very easy with the...

So my new MME is built, ETA August 9-15. Do I go ahead and sell the old MME or do I wait for the bird in hand? I have another car so I’m not left without transport. I had planned to take my Carvana, CarMax, etc quotes in to use as leverage for trading in—just easier that way. DH doesn’t want...

I may sell or trade in my MME in a few weeks as my new MME was just built. ETA of 8/9-15. I have auto updates programmed but wonder if it would be more prudent to make an appointment and get the dealer to install the update. Any thoughts?

Under what conditions does the pony projection show up? I’ve only seen mine twice, both when I really tried to make them show up by using the fob to lock the car then unlock the car. I usually let the car self-lock and I don’t recall seeing the puddle lights when approaching the car with the...

I just got a call that my car, which is not yet built, is expected by the dealer in about a month. I realize the recall may have changed things the last few days but have deliveries been taking just a few weeks after build lately?

I’ve had my CR1 for just over a month. I’ve put roughly 1500 miles on it and spent about $50 on charging, public and home combined. I’ve also used about 25kW of my free EA charging. The first couple weeks were fairly cool, in the 50’s and we jumped directly to 80-90 degree weather. My...

I got my Pull-Me-Over Red MME yesterday. Seems only appropriate that it was Earth Day. I ran some errands then took advantage of the free EA charging to test my aptitude at a new skill. Easy as pie. Shoutout to Stivers Ford in Waukee, IA who made the pick up process quick and painless. No games...
