Stripes increase range... PROVEN!

[Murse-In-Airy]

So between a full day of detailing, a day of work, a day of painting brakes, a day of work, a day applying stripes and a day of work; I haven’t gotten to drive my car in almost a week.
When last I drove it to town, I got 2.8 miles/kWh. Today, 3.9 miles/kWh. Extrapolation shows 343 MILES PER CHARGE! Gotta be the new stripes and painted calipers, and the decreased drag after the ceramic coating.

I’m sure it has nothing to do with it being almost 70° F instead of 19°F, or that none of this was highway driving, or that it was lunch time in town so lots of traffic and stop lights. But I still wasn’t easy on the accelerator at any point so I’m very happy to see something that exceeds EPA for once.

And here I thought they made the car faster!

You and Marlin will have to repeat my experiment to confirm the results... in the name of Science.

I think chrome has a monopoly on the "go faster" effect.

My Mach-E is plenty fast for me. But going further... that’s a good thing.

Lets see that means all the dirt on mine and the fact that it was getting 4.4 miles/kWh means I should really take it through the mud! (4.4 miles/kWh = 380+ miles! wooo hooo)

I've seen it go as high as 5.7 miles/kWh Hmmm maybe had a tailwind that day.
