The need for speed

[Fat Mach]

Ford just applied for a patent where the vehicle will drive it's self to the dealer or a yard if you miss your payment.

Am I the only one patiently awaiting the videos of the screaming 300 lb trailer trash on the hood of her car with a death grip on the wiper blades as it's making its way to the impound yard?

Wont happen. Until the Gov/Banks starts helping those who can't afford EV's buy EV's (Talk about a sweet new bubble to pop 'GreenGate'). But when that does. It's going to be a whole new season of Cops and Repobots. But if it's anything like the current Waymo cars they just have to stand in front of it and it'll sit there forever, sadly not attempting to run them down. But! Get some unemployed drone drivers remotely behind the wheel. Oh the show will be a hit!

Documented... 116mph. Do I win?

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

top speed depends on Trim.
I have verified that my Select is limited to 113mph.

GTs I believe are limited at 126mph.

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

Yeah, Ford kind of screwed up putting a VERY easy to replace contactor in a 1/2 ton battery pack. Had they planned a little better, they wold have had the contactors in a nearby by separate box that could be easily accessed. it probably would have been faster than an oil change. I guess they figured the contactor would outlive the battery. Oops...

Mach-E Premium AWD ER only hit 113mph at Daytona. I was expecting my HVBJB to blow up after being max throttle repeatedly (3 laps x 2 long banked curve sections at max speed for approx 15 seconds).

It sucked. I wanted my GT PE back lol.

How much SoCD did you burn for those 15 seconds?

I did 10.7 miles (includes entering/exiting the track) on a 20min session. Efficiency was 1.5mi/kWh according to display. That's 7.13 kWh?

I did the same 10.7 miles with my Ioniq 5 Limited AWD and the efficiency was 2.1mi/kWh. I could only hit 90mph before I encountered cars in front of me.

I was full throttle on the Mach-E at 113mph for probably 40 seconds at least.
