You can use a phone with GPS speedometer to drive until you fix the car. Its pretty quick to update and very precise.

The car does feel fast, but for some reason I've been more obsessed with maximizing my mi/kWh lol. So I actually haven't been speeding much... Though it's tempting.

I did have a model 3 performance try to egg me on to a race on the highway. He pulled up next to me and kept jumping ahead by a couple.feet and then braking back to me four or five times, while looking at me and motioning.
I passed. I know my limits. Mach-E is fast, but that particular trim of tesla would smoke me. To be revisited when the GT is out!:)

Twice now along a nice stretch of road on a two lane highway, the car in front of me has been doing 45 mph in a 55 mph. Both times I have had to wait for the dotted line to appear to pass. Today when it happened, I'm pretty sure I hit 80 mph as I was going by them.

It's just too easy.
I can't even wait for dotted lines anymore...I just blow by them. ?

You should test drive a Porsche Carrera, you are at 40mph, change down, put your foot down and you think omg I'm going 80mph in the time it takes to look down it seems.

I like that the MME has a speed limit warning, but I wish you could turn on a sound for it to play when going a certain amount over the limit. The flashing in the instrument cluster isn't always going to get my attention.
I feel like having an audible alert when you’re a specified speed above the posted limit for a period of time AS A USER SELECTABLE OPTION would be helpful for some drivers.

The power application in these cars is very smooth, and they will go from 60-90 faster than most cars I have driven. I can only imagine the GT will be worse (depending on your point of view ?) for this.
