Before even wiping snow off the car, the rear wiper was hanging down from the heavy snow mini avalanche. This pic was after cleaning the snow. New arm on order, and I'll take the time to do a longer wiper length too. We were lucky, other parts of CO were MUCH deeper in snow. Ours was less...

It really is such a great color! We get so many comments. Now to deal with a new passenger door ding... grrrrr......

Cheers! And keep enjoying your cars!

Well.. maybe we all should switch to Whisky! :)

I've heard a few people refer to the shape of some Teslas as a "Porpoise", but I always thought that I have seen something very similar in nature before. Turns out there's a striking resemblance to the good old "mud puppy" which is a salamander that can actually make a sound. Clearly, the...

Sorry to be late to the party, but I used to work at Bell Laboratories. We had a very, very large battery plant - 48V DC, and bus bars that were probably 1"x1" square copper. Those suckers could carry some current, and with a low internal resistance our battery plant could deliver it quickly...

Generally our only "long" trip is from the Front Range of CO to NP Nebraska, through one of the most abysmal stretches of charging on the planet ( I think the Ogallala EA generally gets a lot of negative reviews). Turns out we can charge DCFC in Sterling, and there's a brewpub (Parts and...

At 5500 miles, since 9/1/22 delivery, our Grabber Blue premium is performing at least as well as I hoped. My wife drives the car mostly, and if asked what she thinks about it, " I effing LOVE this car." Space EV, thanks for the awesome synopsis of your experience!

I searched, I apologize for bringing this up as a new post, but I couldn't find my experience listed so here we go. Car arrived 9/1/22, Premium AWD extended range. I drove it around wondering why the external sound was so quiet (but I'm happy with that). Got an update a few months later and...

Had three Mach Es at our distillery (and a Tesla not in the picture), and for maybe the first time our EV customers outweighed the ICE drivers. In any case, I grabbed a pic of a Fuel truck behind the Mach Es with the Circle K motto "Follow me if you're Thirsty"... (I have my own issues with...

Look at that Pony pop! Nice cut in work, that's tight. Cheers!

This all has been well covered here - I'd just add that my experience with the glass roof in Colorado is completely fine, on both hot and cold days. No issues with extreme heat on a hot sunny day. The clearance is pretty low, so even with AWD, super deep snow could be a problem. We just...

This is why I love this forum! I'm totally corrected. Not drag coefficient.... just increase in drag force, of course. That's what I get for typing a tongue in cheek post while I'm drinking Scotch.

What's the increase in the coefficient of drag, say on a 70F day vs a 0F day? Assuming the same altitude/barometric pressure, of course. :)

We're approaching -6F as I type... Brrr!!!!!! I'm very curious as to how the car performs in this temp. Fortunately, we're not really going anywhere. Beer fridge and whisky supply are at appropriate temp - and firewood is at the ready.

Mine too! :)

I installed a 14-50 originally, just using the Ford Mobile charger - works fine, no hint of anything getting warm. I like to overengineer for the future, as heck, we might end up with more than one EV since we love this one so much. You're pulling the wire anyway, so I installed #4. Yes, it's...

Indeed, but apparently Mass. is also behind in charging - and that's not a flyover state... Definitely more L2 chargers at hotels would be great. That sounds like an impressive trip, I am a little jealous!

We've had Blucifer (aka Blucy) for a month. Scored great tix and free parking to a Husker game (I know, hold the comments on that please - but it was a Husker win!) and a chance to tailgate and enjoy Lincoln's awesome pregame scene. Problem is - I've lurked around this forum for more than a...

Had an awesome trip over Trail Ridge Road, to Grand Lake, CO and back. The car handled great, fog, rain, hot sun, and beautiful views. Absolutely zero issues - granted, we're only at 850 miles now. No problem losing power at altitude, (12,000 feet or so) with electric motors either, which is...
