10 days of MME ownership and....

[smoke20]

10 days of MME ownership and I really really like this car! If you are on the fence for one of these cars, go for it. It is my first Ford since a 1997 Thunderbird LX w/4.6L V8. Historically, if it didn't have a V8 I didn't want it. Then with the advent of technology, I allowed a twin turbo V6 into my life. After 10 days with this MME, I can say, "V who? Twin turbo who?" I am not necessarily bothered by the 5 second rule (I said not necessarily...) nor am I concerned about gray bars.

This technology just makes sense; especially for primarily urban driving. I develop brushless DC motors for the HVAC industry and understood what to expect coming into this. But experiencing the immediate responsiveness of an electric motor is beyond expectation.

I think Ford has done a terrific job with this car. For me, everything is pretty darn good. I like the cloth seats in the GTPE. I like the displays and user interface. I like that I can open the glovebox without swiping the touchpad. The ride is a bit different; to me it is more like a truck...long hood...heavy feel...and bit of a bounce. But, this is just fine. It is an SUV, yes? It feels substantial and there are no rattles or creaks for which I am very grateful.

I think the sound system should be better especially in an EV. I also do not feel the speed compensation volume control is effective...at all. I might argue it is like a 'dead pedal' if you know what I mean....just there and does nothing. I would like to see this fixed via OTA update if possible.

I have no problem with the lack of roof shade/screen; surprisingly it seems just fine although it makes the side window tint appear lighter due to the additional interior light. I tinted the front side windows with a 35% ceramic film (to the MO state limit) and changed the wheels. I kept the stock tires and will update those when they become worn. Why change wheels? I dunno; I am a car guy and could not find anything else to modify other than perhaps adding Mustang coasters to the cup holders.

The OEM Night Pony black GTPE wheels are off the car and are for sale in the marketplace if anybody is interested.

I've had mine for 680 days and still love as much as the first 10 days.

Oh, you got lots more accessories to add @AOSK has nice stuff, you can start here. https://www.amazon.com/stores/AOSKonology/page/886ABD0A-6B5C-4917-99B3-E07EE5AFB36A?ref_=ast_bln

Also, like the Roadblockz rally mud flaps.

Nice choice of color. I had the Carbonzied Grey select before I got my GT. I really liked that color.
Like the Forgiatos!

I have had mine for 2 years and I still love it! It’s not perfect but I couldn’t be happier. I knew what I was getting in to by choosing a brand new model and it hasn’t been as challenging as I expected. Still a fan.

Close to 2 years now with 43K miles and love to drive it everyday

Am at 17k and a year a half and still the best car I’ve ever owned. Shark has been good to us.

9 months and just shy of 16k miles for me. It is my daily commuter and weekend fun car. Absolutely outstanding experience and my favorite car of any I’ve ever owned.

Today marks 14 days for me, and I love it as well. I find myself making excuses to go out so I can drive it. Congrats

22 mths & 54,000 miles in, working it hard and still love it, every journey, probably will keep it and run it into the ground.

407 days for me. Still love it.

This is Big Red’s payload for 90% of its mileage…….it’s a bit of a work horse, not a bad works van Nice to work in style
