We picked up our Grabber Blue California Route 1 Mustang on 24 February. We've had it for two months and have put 3700 miles on it.

I've now realized I have a major problem with this car that I haven't had with any other car I've owned.

I am making way too many excuses to drive it.

We usually put fewer than 12,000 miles a year on our non-work vehicles.
Extrapolating from ~1850 miles/month means I'm likely to put more than 20,000 miles per year on my Mustang.

A week after we got our first GTPE we took An unscheduled trip from Phoenix through death Valley to Yosemite and then back down the coast.
There was some range anxiety on the way going through death Valley but the charging spots aligned perfectly
Awesome trip. Highly recommended
I feel your pain😝👍

That's a trip we plan to do sometime this summer. Avoiding Phoenix, though.
Still haven't had the CA Route 1 on the PCH (Route 1), but have got to do that soon.

I’m loving the humorous slant this forum has taken over the past few days.

My ‘problem’ is that I’m not sure what to do with all of the $$ I have saved since purchase by not paying’the man’ for $4/gallon gas. I smile every time I drive by a gas station. Free electrons at the local library’s charger exacerbates the ‘problem’.

I guess I better return the MME due to this predicament. 🤣

I look forward to having the same problem when my MME arrives. (soon!) I am retired and haven't been putting many miles on my ICE car. Planning trip adventures.😁

I’m afraid to go charge at my local library. When I was a kid I took a bunch of books and never returned them. I haven’t been there since I was like 15. 50 years ago.

I bet the chargers probably know They will probably try and charge me for the books on my credit card no way I’m gonna trust that charger 😝

Haha!

We use the library multiple times a week. Check out several physical books and borrow audiobooks from them all the time. :)

You owe the library $999,999. They only take cash, asked me to collect. This is due by May 23. If you send it by May 15, I will do you a solid and decrease it to let’s say….$58,355. This will allow you full access to the library.

You’re welcome😁
