Can you please show a picture of your charging station. I am trying to figure out what to install.

Thanks

So I'm only on day 1. Took delivery with 18 miles on it and now have 86. The car is amazing! I kid you not we got waved to and honked at twice already. One guy rolled down his window on a 4 lane road (8 lanes total) as we were driving and asked if this was “the electric one”. Big smile and thumbs up.

I'm in SE MI so it's cold here too, in the 20s F. Had the heat set to 68F and auto 1 fan. I left the dealer at 100% it's now at 74%. I've been driving like a jackass for 68 miles so I'm not concerned about the efficiency.

I started out in Engage mode. It's nice balanced drive. I put it in Unbridled mode and whoa this thing is quick! It gets up to speed so fast you have to be careful. Going 45-50 and press it a bit and you're going 60 in no time.

I didn't get to push it hard in the curves yet, I went through a couple roundabouts at a speed faster than I usually do without any body roll. It feels solid.

I think the speed and handling compare to my wife's Explorer ST (400 HP). That car is quick. The Mach-E is just as quick if not a bit faster and it does it without the fake engine noise of the ST.

I had the radio on for about 4 minutes total, the rest of the drive I was just enjoying the silence of the drive. Very little road/wind noise.

Met the GM and sales manager at the dealer. Both said thanks for the business and were very excited about the vehicle. Apparently everyone at the dealer from sales and service was checking it out since it was the first one for them.

There was a rep from Ford there checking it out and making sure everything was good. One of my protection package mats had a defect (white lettering is not completely white the "E" in Mach-E is black), so Ford is sending the dealer a whole new set of mats. Once they come in I'll go back to the dealer to swap out all of the mats.

With the protection package I they just put the cargo cover mat on top of the 'floor' piece. So no parts were removed.

So fun to drive! I agree that the one pedal drive takes a few minutes to figure out, but it’s cool!!

My salesman did not know about Ford Options. So I sent them the info and where they could find it on their own too. So I got it done, 48 months x 12k miles.

Added the wife's profile and PaaK. No issues with it but to set it up you have to have the fob in the car while going through the process.

Went for a drive with my PaaK. No issues. So far so good.
With your wife's PAAK set up, did the driver's seat automatically adjust to its memory setting when she approached the car?

She has not driven it yet to set up her seating. I set up her phone for her.

Can you take your MME to Ikea? Sure you can.

Very off-topic - but did you add that insulation to your garage door yourself? If so - how well does it work and what brand did you buy? I've been contemplating adding some to my doors, especially for the summer months...

I did it myself. Super easy to cut down these panels to fit. It works very well! I noticed about a 10 degree drop in the summer because my door gets direct sun until noon.

I used two of these kits because I have a two car garage door.

The insulation is basically a radiant heat barrier that is aluminum foil on two sides with bubble wrap in between. I cut on side of the foil and folded the panels to fit. They stay in all on their own in the groove of the door.

Can you see the battery % elsewhere in the app? I hate those icon graduated by 20%. Show us the real %

I didn’t find a way to see the %. Other than it tells me that I reached my set charge level.

Then I pulled it up again to check and there it is. So weird.

Thanks for the info! I've also got two doors which get pretty intense sunlight. I think I'll be purchasing two kits to install before summer hits.
