- 2023 F-150 Lariat PB, 2022 Mach-E Premium AWD ER
General EV Things:
- Every day is a full "tank". It's my wife's MME, I drive the F-150, but only one of us has to spend any time driving to gas stations and waiting for their vehicle to fill up, and it isn't her. While road trip charging is worse than road trip gas fill ups, the rest of the time the EV is way easier to live with.
- Off the line take off at lights. I don't mean racing off the line, just regular taking off is sooooo much better. You lead the pack simply because there is no delay for an engine to start (for auto stop/start ICE vehicles), engine to rev, turbos to spool, transmission to shift, etc. Even with moderate acceleration you are already a few car lengths down the road as others are finally moving. My F-150 PowerBoost is no slouch, one of the fastest half tons without going into TRX/Raptor R territory, but it feels like swimming in jello compared to the MME.
- Nearly no maintenance. Keep the tires inflates, washer fluid topped up, and wiper blades replaced, and just go on with life.
MME Specific Things:
- Surprisingly comfortable seating and well laid out interior.
- Actual instrument cluster!
- Wireless CarPlay and the full screen option
- Looks fantastic
- Great cornering and a lively rear end if you want it to be
- OTA Updates, not every EV has them and the MME isn't the best at it, but it's been pretty seamless for us so far in the MME. The F-150 had a rockier start but it also is a year older.
- Frunk and Trunk Storage is excellent and easy to access
I am sure there is more, but this is a decent overview. I have said it a few times on here before, but I love my F-150. It is an amazing truck, and I typically lease vehicles, but I am actually buying this truck off lease because it's perfect and nothing on the market is better, in my view, and I don't want a "new" F-150 just yet. Just to set a baseline of where I am coming from when I say, I steal my wife's MME nearly any chance I get. If we could only have one vehicle, it would be the F-150, but only due to interior volume and overall capability. But for 95% of the time, I love taking the MME.
Hopefully the next gen F-150 Lightning is coming soon and I will get the best of both worlds!
