You're right, I had the power level set up high. But the closest one is still 32 Miles away, I'm not really interested in driving clear across the state for a charge.

When I was at the dealer buying my MME they told me all about the Ford Network, Plug and charge, Electrify America and their thousands of chargers and the 250KwH free. Then I got home and found out that in my part of New Jersey, most densely populated state in the union, there is a grand total...

There's a DIY post in the mods section - it looks pretty easy.

Found it on Wikipedia: Inventor "Cotton" Whatley of Wichita Falls, Texas, offered an unknown number of modified electric Gremlins for sale through various dealerships between 1973 and 1978. Whatley's Gremlin Electric had a top speed of 50 miles per hour (80 km/h) and a maximum range of 50 miles...

I've never heard of An electric Gremlin, that may have been a one-off. But AMC did make a serious project of an electric Pacer, which had 18 6v golf cart batteries that got 53 Miles range with a top speed of 60mph. There was an outside company that retrofitted AMC Concords to electric that got...

Plus plywood is a lot more likely to damage interior panels when installing/,removing

It sounds like they've been breaking a lot of windshields that just needed to be resealed - Leaving owners waiting for replacements. They had clear instructions, too!

Right, but they may have to remove the roof to reseal it - and there's a chance the roof might break. Maybe they want to be sure they have one in stock just in case it does break. I imagine with a recall going on MME roofs are in short supply right now. Bird in the hand, yes? If they don't...

I haven't tried it, but it seems that something like this might do the job - https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08LYFFZJJ/ref=sspa_mw_detail_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It may be that they want to make sure they have a roof in stock before they remove the old one, just in case it breaks during removal. They wouldn't want you to be stuck waiting a month for a replacement roof. If it comes out clean, then they'll just reuse the old roof.

Summer if its not raining, and the corners aren't sharp

My fear is, if the rolling resistance is so low as to produce that kind of range the tires must have no traction at all.

The Airflow was Chrysler's high tech car in the late 1930s. Its big deal was aerodynamic styling for lower drag. It wasn't very popular. I'm really surprised they are bringing the name back - it would be like Ford naming a new car the Granada or the Edsel.

From the way the press release reads. It sounds like their focus was on rolling resistance, which is a rubber composition issue. It may be the exact same tread pattern.

The Michelin Pilot Sport EV will be rolled out during 2021 in a choice of 16 sizes (OE: 11 sizes; replacement market: five sizes) Michelin has launched its first tire designed to address the specific demands made by electric sports cars. Launching April 1, the company says the Michelin Pilot...

Shares of electric vehicle companies tumbled Monday following the apparent failure of President Joe Biden's "Build Back Better" plan that includes significant incentives for the growing sector. The stocks of EV start-ups such as Lordstown Motors, Faraday Future and Nikola all shed more than 7%...

I wonder how the Teslarati are going to feel when they find out that low quality stainless isn't rust resistant ?

They did try to restyle it. Not much better-

Who cares if Cybertruck is ever produced? The thing looks like a prop from an 80's made-for-TV Sci-fi movie. F-150 lightning FTW

I checked the Goodyear site, no prices yet - the tire isn't even listed. I'll check back periodically
