    2022 cyber orange stolen from my driveway (FOUND) [⚠️ ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    There was a dealer item that I purchased with my GTPE called RecovR. It is similar to Lojack but isn't tied to the vehicle electrical system. And you can take it with you to your next car. Hope your insurance makes you whole.

    GTPE wheels

    Many thanks for the suggestions. Getting there but not quite. My wife was a museum docent and the original wheels reminded her of a multi-layered Escher print. It is one aspect of design that Ford really got right.

    GTPE wheels

    I was going to put them on my Kia EV6 GT-L. Different bolt pattern.

    GTPE wheels

    Unfortunately my GTPE has gone away but my wife REALLY misses the wheels. (Don't ask her about the rest of the car.) Does anyone know of a manufacturer that makes a similar wheel for other vehicles?

    EV 6 vs. MME My Impressions

    I have an EV6 GT-Line First Edition that I purchased after waiting endlessly for my GTPE. I have 28,000 miles on this fabulous vehicle that was designed by Albert Biermann from the BMW “M” Group. I finally got the GTPE - but from a dealer that “went south”. The HVBJB replacement was a...

    Don’t get run over!

    Thanks for the help you gave me, Todd. I’m moving on as well. I ordered my GTPE from a local, family owned dealer with a great reputation. By the time it was delivered, the dealer was bought out by clueless conglomerate. The service sucked pond water. It took six weeks and ten lies to...

    First time denied charging at dealer

    I charged just enough to get to the next commercial charger. It was a matter of necessity. I was NOT looking for "free". I was willing to pay for it but they said "on the house". Different latitude - different attitude.

    First time denied charging at dealer

    No. I got a "booster" charge in my Kia EV6 at a VW dealer to get to the next EA. The salesman knew I was from another State and would probably never buy from their dealer. Our chat solidified the concept of an EV community. We help each other out. The electrons are pretty cheap (unless you...

    Can’t use my car again? Think I’m done Ford.

    With that much trouble, you may be looking at a buyback. Email Ford BEV with your situation. They may want to avoid a Lemon Law buyback so they can get a clear title. It's not just Ford - all the manufacturers are in the same boat with issues.

    Future Mach-E buyers, please note…

    One factor that may bump up the value next year is opening of the Tesla charger network. The major "naysayer" argument I encounter is the non-Tesla charging options. Market value may increase as range anxiety decreases.

    Future Mach-E buyers, please note…

    Mine is gone. I really liked the GTPE but the reliability was not there. My software “update” for the HVBJB was done at 133 miles. My HVBJB failed at 6,000 miles and it took six weeks and ten lies to repair. At 8,000 miles, the “SVS” notice produced 284 trouble codes! Massive brain fart...

    High Voltage Battery Junction Box (HVBJB) Replacement Recall for recall HVBJB in 30,013 Mach-E

    Did you watch the tow truck load and unload the vehicle? I remember the old Car Talk show on NPR with "Click & Clack, the Tappet Brothers" - one of their acronyms was "FOT", fell off truck.

    Front License Plate

    I haven’t had a front plate on a half dozen vehicles since 1996 when I put a winch on the front of a Land Rover Discovery. Since then, I’ve had five parking tickets and one radar ticket on the ION highway out of Winnemucca - but NO citations for no front plate. If you get one, it’s a “fix-it”...

    High Voltage Battery Junction Box (HVBJB) Replacement Recall for recall HVBJB in 30,013 Mach-E

    Interesting observation. Yesterday afternoon I saw a Mach E with Michigan manufacturer plates leaving an EA station in Lovelock, Nevada. The first thing I noticed was a Pitot tube type device attached to the right, rear quarter panel.

    So long, and thanks for all the fish.

    Perhaps you need a personalized plate containing the number "42".

    All New Ford F-150 Lightning FLASH with heat pump and 15.5" inch screen!

    The heat pump in my Kia EV6 GT-Line did a good job of thawing out the car in West Yellowstone last year.

    Best response to "That's not a real Mustang"

    The couple times I've heard the comment I asked if they preferred the shortened Falcon or the elongated Pinto. Never did get an answer.

    Do you have a transponder in your car (PeachPass/SunPass)?

    I put my FasTrak on the dashboard when I'm using it and in the glove compartment when not. (Anything visible in California is a candidate for broken window theft.) This unit is twelve years old and has never failed to register. Perhaps newer versions are less sensitive.
