Mach-E EPA Ratings Revealed in Window Sticker!

And if a pencil breaks, it's cheap to replace.

And a gobstopper used to cost 2¢.

That's why so many people say 1-pedal is more efficient. It's more efficient for a Tesla, but not any different in a car with blended brakes, like Mach-E.

Correct, except with blended you are relying on the driver not to exceed the friction brake crossover point.

If Tesla doesn't have brake by wire, they would have an extremely difficult time doing blending, which make sense then that they don't blend.

I hope the ReGen is from both motors. Any news on that? I'd like to not rotate my tires so often.

But you need a sharpener. You can just take the cap off a pen ?

I didn't test a higher speed for long enough to learn anything so we'll just have to get our cars and figure it out then.

This is my favorite sentence in the entire thread.

I'd be extremely surprised if it wasn't.

I guess there could be extreme cases, like charging 100% at the top of Pikes Peak. But I would struggle to find a normal driving condition case where the vehicle couldn't regen. You would have to have a trip where the range at the end of the trip is greater than when you started.

My Clarity seems to show a small amount of regen (pointer a little way into the green) when going down a hill with a full battery. I live on a hill and often go down it first thing. Sometimes this causes the engine to start for some reason, which is very annoying, and one of the multiple reasons I am getting the Mach-E in place of it.

depends on how willing you are to chew the writing end of the pencil.

Engine starts to burn off the state of charge to allow new charge from regen.

Maybe. On the C-Max it has a screen that explains why the engine is on. If your going down a hill and the battery is full and using hill descent control, it will turn the engine on and with the message "engine braking".

See above analysis. Tesla does blend brakes, but evidently only the rear.

I don't really understand the quite technical post you made earlier. But I suspect it's talking about something different.

Blended brake generally means that the brake pedal will engage regen first, and then engage friction only when necessary.

The technical post you made seems to be talking about the drivetrain, not the pedal. It seems to be saying that the drivetrain is capable of having both friction and regen engaged at the same time. This drive train capability is necessary for both OPD and blended brake peal.

Correct, except with blended you are relying on the driver not to exceed the friction brake crossover point.

Ultimately, the driver commands a certain amount of deceleration. If regen isn't enough to achieve that, friction has to be engaged, regardless of how the driver controls the input (OPD or not).

I acknowledge that driver can learn to drive more efficiently, by braking no harder than necessary. OPD makes the delineation of regen and friction really obvious, which is an advantage. On the other hand, the same "brake coach" that is available on Ford Hybrid, PHEV, and past EV will also be available on Mach E. That thing is super effective in teaching the driver to find the crossover point.

Not sure if anyone's shared a Premium RWD ER sticker yet?

Amazingly identical efficiency as ID.4. Slightly higher range, however. ?

Better than the ID4 on the highway! Killed it!

And MG2 adding charge to the HVB
