Hopefully getting a CR1 AWD. Ordered through Mount Vernon as they had one delivery earlier in the year and usually move a bit of F150s. I ordered on 1/3/22, but I'm guessing it'll be past summer before I see mine.

Update. Iā€™m now on my second MME in Atlantic. Went from a CR1 to a Premium. I love it!

I usually see at least one E Pony on I35 N when traveling to the Twin Cities so I know others are out there!

Nice! Oddly we saw a couple when we were getting ours but havenā€™t seen any in the Des Moines area for months now. Maybe we just arenā€™t out enough, lol. What made you go for the Premium over the CR1?

I wanted the light grey interior, non-black wheels, better sound system, power lift gate, both front seats powered, better adjusting headrests and acoustic glass (which I didnā€™t actually get). At first I had extreme range anxiety so went with the CR1 but within weeks I knew I wanted the bells and whistles more.

I'm thinking in possibly trading in my 22 CR1 (when/if it gets here) for a 23 gt if I ever find one in a lot, no way in hell I'm going through this ordering nightmare again lol. As of today my CR1 is STILL in Richards-gebaur Ramp 6R, 5 weeks and counting.

Apparently it's due to driver shortage+lack of vehicles to deliver to Iowa or something like that.

I'm over by the Iowa city area and have a CR1 for about a month now. All I can say is we have really shitty DCFC infrastructure on I80 and I380 and that needs to get fixed ASAP. The two in Walcott was nice coming back from Chicago, but only two is rough.

I'm in Cedar Falls. There is 1 - Level 2 charger available here and Waterloo has 2 locations with DCFC stations. One location has 2 x 50 kW CCS stations and the other has 2 x 150 kW stations ( at the same location there are 8 Tesla Super Chargers w/250 kW).

Iowa politicians are too busy supporting the ethanol industry and are working hard to make those involved in the industry (farmers as well as the refiners) happy.

The EV infrastructure in Iowa stinks for anyone trying to travel worry free in Iowa.

Just came across this post & wanted to say Hi from Central Iowa. This forum and FB groups have been so helpful in my EV learning! Hopefully everyone still has, and loves, their MME.

Looking for Des Moines owners since I see all of the non-EV Mustang's getting together. See quite a few of us out there now!

A picnic or something would be cool.

I think earth day celebrations had an EV event in West Des Moines, but it'd be neat to do an Mach-E gathering.

Or maybe just crash the ice Mustangs. ;)

FYI: Join the Iowa Mustangs Unstabled club (IMU)... a very active club that offers lots of meet up opportunities and drives through the year. There are a few Mach-Es appearing now and then, including mine at a few events in the last 18 months. I did some drag racing and beat the 3 Mustangs I faced.
