What is the fastest you had your Mach-E up to? Did you get a ticket?

Less than 90 before I knew about the HVBJB issue. Since then, I have crept up to something less than 85. ?‍♂?

I have never hit triple digits in the MME, but I believe the car is speed limited to around 113 MPH.

I don't really worry about the HVBJB anymore. After my third replacement, it is becoming like a routine service interval. The last two times now the software has given me the advice warning (just like a service reminder would... Heck it even says service vehicle soon). That gave me a chance to set up an appointment with my local dealer for replacement and several days later the car was repaired and I was back on the road. The only real difference is that I can wait for an oil change, but do have to plan for about a week for the HVBJB service :D

At the track, max was about 114mph on the front straight after about 6 secs @ full throttle. that was before the HVBJB bricked my MME GT (not PE) on the FWY a month later. Since then, not more than 85.

100-101 momentarily. The moment the speedometer hit 3 digits, I took my foot off the accelerator. By the time I exited a protected highway entrance ramp I nicknamed “the launch tube”, I was doing roughly 60-65. Officer Friendly would have to be directly behind me to observe my behavior because of the layout of the roadway.

105-110mph a few times in my 1st month of driving. Just wanted to see how fast to get up there. Does it was ease. No problem.

I’ll admit to it. 114 MPH in the AWD EX and 124 in the GT. I have access to non-public straight level blacktop. Both cars topped out at those numbers.

Sustained 109-110 MPH in my GT on an empty, country road. Super fun and handled well.
