I’m so glad we have these forums! Picked up my Premium AWD extended the other day. First thing I noticed was it said 100% charged and estimating 240 miles. Over the last couple of days it has certainly seemed like the charge goes fast. I’m sure I’m driving it a bit hard since it’s a new thrill for me. However I really didn’t think I was that inefficient. At 49% charge it estimated about 90 miles. Seems low. I’m gathering from earlier responses that this is the normal evolution of battery calibration and I just need to give it some time to get to know me. Just tell me it’ll be ok or Im going to put gas in the frunk!!
It will adjust as time goes by. My last charge to 90% showed a range of 267 miles! We have had ours for 3 1/2 months and 3300 miles so far.

How about spurs?
I don't know.. you can slow down the car with this pedal as well. My knowledge in horsedriving is practically nonexistent.

Stirrups might be more accurate

The closest horse riding term I can think of is leg. A riding teacher might tell a student "give it more leg" to make the horse go faster. Removal of leg pressure makes the horse go slower. But calling the pedal OK the Mach-E a "leg pedal" would be confusing!

I have always disliked red cars and immediately dismissed considering buying one. But every time I see a red Mach e, I think about it a little more…
I’ve never owned one either. But I’m pretty happy w it! Police seem to admire it a little more. :)

My daughter has a hunter/jumper Percheron...you "ride" a horse, you don't "drive" it. YOU are in control of your car...a horse is like a cat...it obeys you if it feels like it.

Thanks for the good news! I like the sound of that! Having a blast with the car so far. Going to put some different wheels on for fun. I know that will affect my range a little too.

Any ideas on what wheels you are thinking about?
