Hello from rural Maine! I just brought home my Mach-e this morning. I was late to the party and didn’t have a reservation, so bought a dealer car fresh off the 4k mile demo. It’s a premium AWD, 88kWh in Iconic Silver. Not my first color choice, but it was the only thing I was willing to be flexible on. First silver car I ever owned. I live on a dirt road, so the color’s ability to hide the dust will definitely be welcome!

I see many coming from Tesla, but I am probably a rare case. I traded in a barely used 2020 Model S. I love its efficiency, but the build quality was utter crap. I drive mostly on country roads and autopilot just gets in the way most of the time. When BlueCruise arrives, I don’t think I’ll miss AP much for my occasional road trip.

After checking out a Mach-e at a recent EV meetup, I couldn’t get it out of my mind... so here we are! Out with the old, in with the new:

Hello fellow Mainer!
Still waiting for the details on when ours is getting built, excited to see more local Mach-E owners in the area.

Apart from the EV meetup and the one I just bought, I’ve yet to see another in the wild in ME. Teslas are rare enough when you go away from the coast. Hope you don’t have to wait too long!

Contrats! I also live in Maine. Kittery Point. I was lucky enough to find exactly what I wanted at a dealer in CT. I have had for about 6 weeks and love it.

Silly me thinking I’d be the only Mainer! ;)

I’m also in York county, but rural/inland, Waterboro to be specific. I suspect the number of EV owners decreases as you go inland or as you go north.

Hi neighbor!
I am in Kittery! I have Infinite Blue with EV PONY plate so keep an eye out!
I ordered last July from Key Ford in York. Nice guys, no ADM, took X plan. BTW, I had ceramic done at Seacoast Cars and Coffee at Fox Run mall. Only $695 and it looks wonderful.

Ah, right, you're the one who snatched that grabber blue FE away from me, aren't you? ;) Yup, definitely enjoying it. Good riddance, Tesla!

Hey Maine gang. I'm on Gorham/Scarborough line and waiting for mine to arrive in late June or July by the looks of it.

Hitchhiker, doesn't that Model S look.... old(?)... next to your Mach E now? That Tesla design really has not aged well.

Time to start planning the Southern Maine meetup. Ted's Fried Clams? Pemaquid Point? Ogunquit Lobster Pound? Nubble Light? Red's Eats???

Yes, it does. And don't even get me started on build quality. That Tesla was less than a year old and was a total rattle trap.

There are also fairly frequent general EV meetups in the area and throughout New England. Check out the New England Electric Auto association at their site or on Facebook.

Thanks for the link. Will check it out. Is it cool to bring the Pacifica PHEV until the Mach E comes in? lol

Yup, lots of PHEVs and hybrids show up. The president of NEEAA has a couple hybrids but no BEV at the moment. :cool:

I drive a lot, probably 800 to 900 miles per week. I have yet to see another Mach-e on the road. I don't think I have ever gotten more looks or comments with any other vehicle. I have always loved mustangs. Owned a 65 Convertible in my 20's. I think Ford is brilliant again, with this new mustang.

Was that the Grabber Blue FE at Casco Bay Ford? We test drove the one that they had there and ordered our own the same day!
