So I got my Mustang Mach E (Maya Mustang) about 48 hours ago. I have been so busy with work I haven't had a ton of time to spend with the car, getting to know her, other than about a 200 mile round trip today for work. Here are my thoughts because this is the internet, therefore everyone has an opinion.
- I was going 70+ and I was getting 3.0 miles/kWh. The range meter was not counting down as fast as the odometer was counting up, so the range figures really did make me feel confident in how things were going to go. No surprises.
- The adaptive cruise and lane keep are really nice. I will say either the car likes to be further to the right in the lane than I usually do, or I might have a tendency to hug the left side of the lane. I felt pretty far over to the right side of the lane a few times, but that was good to make me give just enough wheel input to make it know I was holding on.
- Plug and Charge failed. I stopped at an Electrify America with a bunch of chargers, just to see how it all went. I plugged in to 4 separate chargers and failed. At each one, I plugged in, it churned for a few seconds, and told me unplug and try again. On the second time it would bring up a billing screen. If I tried to pay with my CC, it still failed to charge. Based on a post by someone on here, I turned off Plug and Charge in the Fordpass app, and then things worked correctly with a Credit Card. I charged from 46% to 55% and I was getting 65-70kw for that time, so I am pretty happy with that. I did smell a bit of a burning smell towards the end. Is that normal? I did drive it another 70 miles after that issue free, so I am hoping that was battery heaters or something burning off dust for the first time?
