  1. Original 2021 Owners - Check In

    I reserved mine in Jan 2021, ordered in Mar or Apr, when it became available to order, and took delivery in late October 2021. Still have it, still love it! 32k miles or so, only 1 road trip (which wasn't great - still waiting for my tesla adapter). I don't have any plans to sell. Just got the...
  2. Mach-e for Road Trips just sucks. Not even close. More expensive than gas

    You're right about that - every road trip for us starts with a 9 hour drive to Amarillo, and we're still in Texas, dammit (on our way to New Mexico, Colorado, Utah...)
  3. Mach-e for Road Trips just sucks. Not even close. More expensive than gas

    Good advice, appreciate! Honestly, the Mach-e is a LOT smoother drive than my truck... I'd like to roadtrip more in it...
  4. Mach-e for Road Trips just sucks. Not even close. More expensive than gas

    I just checked my last electricity bill - actually is 10.9 cents per kWh. So, even better. Look - i LOVE my Mach-e. It's AWESOME for getting around my area. It's SUPER fun to drive (i have the GT Performance) and it's WAY smoother than my F150. Have saved a ton of money on gas the last 3 years...
  5. Mach-e for Road Trips just sucks. Not even close. More expensive than gas

    Ok fellas, y'all right - my math sucks - here is the fixed numbers. 506 miles, 2.4 efficiency, $89 (70 kWh at my home @14 cents) F150 would have cost $88 at 15mpg. I drove most of the trip at 75, some at 70 and some at 80. And yes, i got 500 kWr free from Ford, so I didn't pay anything for...
  6. Mach-e for Road Trips just sucks. Not even close. More expensive than gas

    After 30k, I finally did my first road trip in my Mach-e (Houston to Dallas and back, leave Friday, back Saturday) 253 miles. Cost was $0.14 at my house, and $0.56 at each of 3 EA stops I had to make. Total cost $48. 133 kWh used. Efficiency was 1.9 - wow. Stopped twice in Ennis, TX Walmart -...
  7. Intelligent Octopus in the US

    Thanks all for input - i tried to get info from Ford US but they didn't seem to know much about it. I took a chance and signed up starting 5/10 - will let you all know how it goes. Hope it works, it's a pretty good deal if it works. Fingers crossed.
  8. Intelligent Octopus in the US

    Does anyone have Intelligent Octopus in the US? It is now available in Texas at least. Here is the EFL - their software runs on the Mach-E and their App I guess, and tries to schedule charging for when the wholesale prices are cheapest. If you are enrolled and enabling your Mach-e, then you get...
  9. Experience with Intelligent Octopus for EVs

    Hello - time for me to renew my retail energy plan - Looks like Intelligent Octopus has decent rates for people with EVs. They support the Mach-e. Does anyone here in Texas have IO, and can share their experience, positive or negative? The control software runs on the app/car, no smart charger...
  10. New Continental ControlContact Sport SRS+ Tires

    Rolling resistance is significantly better than the stock Pirellis. I guess this is to be expected, moving from a summer tire to an all-season, but for me the trade-off is negligible. I love how these handle and roll.
  11. New Continental ControlContact Sport SRS+ Tires

    I love them! Every time I start driving the car when my wife is with me I tell her, "Did I tell you how much I love these tires?" Drives her nuts... But seriously, they are great, couldn't be happier, I think they are quiet, smooth ride, and lots of grip when you need it, in rain anyway. I live...
  12. New Continental ControlContact Sport SRS+ Tires

    All Season - I'd say the noise is perhaps a tad more than the Pirellis. My wife noticed, me, not so much. Rolling resistance is much lower, I have to recalibrate my 1-pedal braking, I keep running into intersections, lol.
  13. New Continental ControlContact Sport SRS+ Tires

    Replaced the factory GTPE Pirelli rubber at 15,400 miles with these new Continental ControlContact Sport SRS+ (245/45 R20 103Y XL BSW). Really enjoying the nice ride. One of the Pirellis had a slow leak and the wear on all four was into the yellow. Seemed a bit early to replace, but feel very...
  14. RESOLUTION! $28,000 damage to Mach-E from tow truck hooking into battery rail

    Do you know the root cause of the initial problem that required you to pull over and be towed?
  15. Surprise GTPE Purchase Today!

    Love the build - congrats, nice grab!
  16. MotorTrend: Mach-E GT PE vs. Model Y Performance comparison

    What a flawed review. Somebody just mailed this in. Yes, the Mach-E rides and handles better, and its braking is superb, but the Tesla is the better all-around choice. 1. It gets going incredibly quickly, (but not as quickly as Mach-e) 2. has no qualms about reaching speed, (only superior on a...
  17. Autogefhul Compares the Mach-E and 4 other EV mid-size SUVs (ID4, MY, Ioniq 5, Audi Q4, iX3, Enyaq)

    Mach-E is popular is Germany, well, at least with this German. Nice comparison video...

  19. Charging Math, Miles Per Dollar - Is this right?
