    INFINITE BLUE METALLIC Mach-E Club

    I agree. I am glad I headed for the exits and did not wait for my Mach-E...Infinite Blue. I went with a 2019 silver I-PACE and have not regretted it. I have been driving it for 2 months at a net price of $52,500 after the Tax Credit.

    Mach e vs. I-Pace

    I agree with Ken. The customer usually ends up "happy" and taken care of in these lemon buybacks. I sure have. My last car, a Volvo XC60 T8 PHEV, had to be replaced under the lemon law. I did not have to go through the process and formalize it. The dealer & Swedish engineers could not make...

    Mach e vs. I-Pace

    I get your points...but: the 270 mi EPA range has not been certified by the EPA. It a "selling" number. my guess it the AWD ER will come in at around 250 which, for all practical purposes, is what the IPACE is at this point. The charging rate of the IPACE is definitely a weak point. If I...

    Mach e vs. I-Pace

    I agree with what you are saying abou the IPACE. My car (3 weeks old) has yet to have any problems. One benefit you did not mention is the 5 year warranty period versus 3 years for the MME. This is non-trivial. However, some cars (like mine) may have had their warranty started (punched) in...

    Mach e vs. I-Pace

    I am very glad that I switched to an I-PACE (SE). $60K. With its recently updated software, my 2019 shows a range of 262 miles (with 5% of the battery saved as a buffer). As I told Ford when I cancelled my MME earlier this month...I am sure the MME will be a great car. I could find no one...

    INFINITE BLUE METALLIC Mach-E Club

    Possibly you can have the Infinite Blue MME I have on order that I am about to cancel. I went the same way as Ken7 and am taking delivery of my new 2019 I PACE tomorrow ($60K).

    California Buyer - when we may actually get to see one?

    My No. Calif. dealer is clueless still. I have gone ahead and purchased an new 2019 IPACE for $60K. I can have it now and drive it now. There are still some good deals a Pasadena Jag. and South Bay jag in your area if you are interested. Good luck.

    A goodbye to all

    Thanks for the info. The dealer in our last conversation did cal it a "punched" car. I am assuming that when you mention that there is a down side that you are referring to the Warranty having started on 12/2/2019. Thanks again.

    A goodbye to all

    Thanks, Ken. I have a Juicebox 40 now from when I had my Volvo XC60 Plug-In. The Volvo was not smart enough (like a MS) to be able to be set itself to charge at a specific time. I am planning to use it on the IPACE. I remember from the MS that we were taught to, as a rule, not charge past...

    A goodbye to all

    A status: I reread the Fed Form for Tax Credit 8639 and feel my IPACE will qualify. Talked with a local tax preparer about it, and he believes it will qualify. I talked to the GM again today and balled him out for withholding this info. After the discussion, I decided to go ahead with the...

    A goodbye to all

    Thanks. This was on the "new" section of the dealer's website and on the new section of Jaguar Inventory USA when it pulled what I asked to have pulled. The draft Sales Invoice says Used. I questioned it with the Fin. Mgr. and she told me that it was because of the warranty being started...

    A goodbye to all

    Oh, Don't know where it went...but I am still learning. I will put it here. I was surprised when I saw the purchase paperwork today. They are selling the car as used! They say that they started the Warranty on 12/2/2019 to get the manufacturer to allow the lower pricing (don't know the...

    A goodbye to all

    Please see my message to you on the IPACE forum. I got a surprise today. Hopefully, on that you missed.

    A goodbye to all

    Ken - I am also leaving this forum and moving to the IPACE forum as you know. I wrote a lot in another post on this forum that has been taken down. If folks are interested in the pricing I received and that more 2019s are available, then they can go to the IPACE forum and find it under EV-Al...

    Sold My Model 3 - for a Ford

    I see the logic in your decision. When I had an TS in 2015-2018, I had great service from Tesla's Service Centers. I can only imagine how the increased volumes (4 - 10 times more than I had) have made it awful to get service...with no other options available. With the ME (or the new Toyota...

    Reservation cancelled by me

    I agree that Ford would make a Big PR mistake by requiring that we make a non-refundable deposit before driving the ME. They have assembled a lot of potential customers at this point in their marketing process. Some of us have not been excited about buying a Ford product in years. My last...

    Ford Announces Mach-E European Deliveries Delayed Until Early 2021 (No Delays For US Customers)

    Wow! I have not heard of those problems. Is there a lemon law on Oregon? I replaced my TS with a PHEV from Volvo. It had the features I wanted that a TS or TX did not Have.. It developed a coordination problem between the front and back motors that kept it in the shop. I asked for a Lemon...

    Ford Announces Mach-E European Deliveries Delayed Until Early 2021 (No Delays For US Customers)

    It sounds like you have had some problems with your T3. It seems that the car is a pretty good design but Built with poor manufacturing techniques. I watched Sandy Munro tear apart his TY in podcasts. Seems that some of the problems you report are still there. My TS was built during a slow...

    This bothers me...

    The good news is that there will always be a used market for EVs. EVs are going to run for a lot of miles...they are simple and don’t need a lot of maint. We are just getting to that point with EVs. I sold my 3 year old EV to a person that did not want to buy a new one. There was a line of...

    Ford Announces Mach-E European Deliveries Delayed Until Early 2021 (No Delays For US Customers)

    For what it is worth, I saw Elon talking on a recent 3hr Podcast. He talked about how hard it was to ship to multiple countries from a single plant (Fremont, CA). He mentioned the changes needed to be made at the plant to accommodate left hand and right drive cars as well as language specific...
