    New Vanity Plate

    Enquiring minds want to know: Is Lil Pone meant as a description, name, or both? if not necessarily a name, I suggest Rainbow Dash, Applejack, or Rarity as appropriate options for your consideration. But why Applejack isnā€™t red like your awesome MME, I cannot say:

    Tesla's Non-Tesla Supercharger Pilot Program To Open In US In 2022

    FWIW, Iā€™ve found inexpensive dcfc charging in greater MN - namely in cities with their own electric utilities or that are served by independent electric coops. Last month in Hutchinson, for instance, I added 150 miles of range for less than $5. But I agree that being able to access Tesla...

    Should I Take Delivery of New 2022 MME GTPE?

    Iā€™d get the car. As others have said, there arenā€™t other EVs to be had - at least not anywhere close to the GTPE, your vehicle will be fixed before delivery, and I wouldnā€™t really call this a true safety recall. Itā€™s important, yes, but the car isnā€™t going to burst into šŸ”„. I honestly think...

    Need Encouragement!

    I took my frugal - no, cheap - parents out in my MME the other day and they both said they could tell this was a whole different level of vehicle. And my mom - who has always been happy driving a Jetta and then basic Civics into the ground - suggested to my dad that they think about getting...

    Happy Fathers Day Mach E Dads

    Re the picture, exactly what questions do you think someone might have about free charging? ā€œHey, are you giving us the dirty, weak electrons?ā€ šŸ˜œ Happy Fatherā€™s Day to you, as well!

    I bought a new Mach-E on Tuesday, 6/14

    Thatā€™s a good question. My consulting company has an errors and omissions policy - it would make sense for dealers to have something comparableā€¦

    I bought a new Mach-E on Tuesday, 6/14

    I think @GreaseMonkey and @Monke (coincidence?) have the right idea here. If the dealer is reasonable, theyā€™ll see the win-win of giving you a nice ICE or hybrid loaner (Escape Titanium Hybrid, for instance) plus a big chunk of gas money for the summer. 50% of the penalty would be awesome but...

    Good Cargo Covers?

    Thanks for the heads up, @AOSK - I bought your 18-pc liner mat set and have been pleased with them!

    Good Cargo Covers?

    Thanks for the tips, fellow Saint Paulite!

    Good Cargo Covers?

    Hey - Maybe Iā€™ll try the $1 solution before spending $100+ - crazy, I know: And it worked!

    What if it were an ICE… still buy it?

    As I see it, absent the EV tax credit, the comparable ICE price point for my Premium AWD SR would be in the low-mid $40s. Would maybe need to drop to high $30s to account for ICE fuel / maintenance costs. Think about all the great ICEs available in that range. I love my MME but if EV tech...

    Good Cargo Covers?

    Well, thatā€™s ironic. My cover (in a 2021 Job 2) falls into the trunk if you just look at it funny. The eyelet loops are very tight but the plastic rods and clips are far too loose.

    Good Cargo Covers?

    I found the flimsy OEM cargo cover fairly easy to ignore through the winter and early spring but now that Iā€™m using the trunk much more frequently, Iā€™m more annoyed by how it keeps falling off. Forum folks have indicated the first gen AOSK cover wasnā€™t quite ready for prime time. But what...

    Worried About Purchase

    Oh, and maybe longing for the days of manipulating grimy gas pumps, and having to go into the store when the card reader was broken - if thatā€™s your thing. šŸ˜œ

    Worried About Purchase

    Youā€™re in for a heck of a lot of fun, and maybe an elevated risk of a speeding ticket.

    Saw First Lightning in the Wild

    Last evening, waiting at a stoplight, I noticed a shiny new F-150 at the front of the line, a few vehicles ahead of me. It then took off suspiciously quickly and I knew I had to try to catch it. After a few blocks of speed racer, I pulled along side and got very some positive first impressions...

    DARK MATTER GRAY Mach-E Club

    Yeah, those housecoats are trouble. Thanks for the laughs - love these archaic laws that were stupid to begin.

    DARK MATTER GRAY Mach-E Club

    @DarkMatter89 I donā€™t mean to alarm you but there appears to be a severed arm stuck to your rear spoilerā€¦. Great pics!

    Bad habits my MME has taught me

    Iā€™m a complete convert to 1PD and despise having to use the brake pedal when I drive an ICE. It seems so wasteful, and a lot of work! šŸ˜œ

    For those who have done PPF, what do you wish you had done beforehand?

    I knew they were just chintzy plastic stamp outs - like most car badging - but when you actually feel how cheap they are, youā€™ll be especially glad to have ditched them. Besides the obvious aesthetic reasonsā€¦
