Tiny Timbs posted:Good lord, I just got quoted $2800 to run wire 40 ft in a straight line outside my house and into the back of my garage to add a 14-50 outlet. Should I be looking at <$1000? If this is in the Bay Area, I’d jump on that. Im getting quotes of mid-3k for something like that over here.

KingKapalone posted:How long would it be for like a VW ID4, Mach E, Ioniq 5, etc? As a recent Mach-E owner, I ordered in mid-June and picked up the car a few days before Christmas, so a little over 6 months in my experience. YMMV of course, given supply chain issues and what not. KingKapalone posted:
IMO, at this point I’d put down a (refundable) deposit on a new EV and just wait out however long it takes. While dealing with the Ford person, I was assured that even if the Mach-E came in and I wasn’t satisfied for whatever reason, I can still get my deposit back. I wouldn’t spring for a used EV unless you happen to find a low-mileage unicorn like a Leaf or Bolt. No one is selling a used ID4/MachE/etc. without a dealer charging up the rear end on ADM for the next several months, if not year(s).

Zero One posted:Speaking of MachE defects, Ford wants you to know this isn't a defect: In the 5 times I’ve tried this whole hauling groceries, it’s worked only once. I’m actually glad it’s being by removed. My previous vehicle was an Exploder that had the kick function to lift the trunk, and that only worked 2/3rds the time when I needed it to and I’d consider that a success.

Three Olives posted:and I was worried about interior heat from the glass roof in Texas, especially with non-ventilated pleather seats (Never thought I would ever consider pleather). The glass roof appears to be tinted so i wouldn’t worry about heat coming in. It’ll be hot as balls on the outside but touching the glass on the inside is fine. I really wanted cooling seats on the MachE (my last car had them) but I’ll manage.

Ok Comboomer posted:The Mach E just seems like such a pile/beta test of a product at this moment Aside from the December stop sale preventing me from picking up my MachE from the dealer for a few days, it’s been good to me since then. All EVs are poo poo in one way or another, just like ICE cars, just gotta hope one is a smaller pile than the others.

I drive a Mach-E. I like it, it’s a nice car. I also picked up one of those license plate wraps which looks pretty nice. Oh and here is a picture:

I picked it up from this site: https://licenseplatewrap.com/ The name is pretty generic but hey the CA DMV says it’s street legal so go ham

Buff Hardback posted:There's part of me that will just throw money at Ford whenever they launch the Explorer EV. This. The moment the Explorer EV is up for preorder, I am jumping ship. Before the MachE, my previous two vehicles were the Explorer. It’s almost blind loyalty are this point.

So here’s a trip report. I drove down from SF to LA twice with the Mach-E the past few weeks. Some observations:
There’s probably more to add, but all in all would do again 10/10

I've been charging my Mach-E whenever it gets below 30% which happens once a week or so. I've been reading that this is bad and I should be plugging it in and keeping it plugged according to this page: https://batteryuniversity.com/article/bu-808-how-to-prolong-lithium-based-batteries ... so I guess I've haven't been janitoring my battery as efficiently as I should. Oh well

To be fair, OTA updates have been getting better. The first couple of updates on my Mach-E took about 5-6 months once they were published. Now, it’s more like a month or so. As of today I got the 3.5.4.2 update which was originally released last month. Here’s the current version history for reference: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Power-Up_Version_History#Versions

KingKapalone posted:I got my Mach-E this weekend. The dealer process needs so much streamlining. A lot of that should have been done ahead of time. I don’t remember off the top of my head, but I don’t think it asks you? Though, you’ll have to fill out separate form, 8936, anyway: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f8936.pdf Usually, that’s how I’d walk away too. If the honk is annoying when you start walking, just press and hold the “7|8” and “9|0” buttons on the driver door. The side mirrors will fold and the lights will blink, which will also lock the doors.

withoutclass posted:On a separate topic, how does one even go about getting an EV? I see a lot of mentions of putting orders in and then waiting months or little to no stock anywhere and that seems like a pretty frustrating state of affairs as well. Do you put in a deposit or something? It’s pretty much go on the website, put a deposit (usually $100-$500), wait 3-12+ months, and wait until they call you. It’s not just EVs though, it’s all cars if you wanted something customized. It’s a bad time to get a car but it’s a little better now hopefully.

I got the update as well (2021 Premium ER AWD) and after doing a charge to 80%, it says I have a range of 240 miles. Which is absurd since my previous estimate was around 190; I live in the Bay Area so it’s not that cold but still.. Also I’m not fond of the update. There’s so much waste of space on CarPlay, I liked the ability to shrink the screen and utilize more info. For example:

The moment Ford comes out with the Explorer EV I am selling the Mach-E. Most of the cars I’ve driven were Explorers so I have a fondness for those shitboxes.

I would suggest getting an OBD2 BT scanner or even a 12V monitor you can plug into a cigarette port. I have the latter for my MachE when I had some false alerts on the 12V in the past: https://a.co/d/84mkrao

I just came back from a road trip (SF -> LA -> SF) with the MachE. While I had no problem with finding stations along I-5, I did have some anxiety over the small number of EA stations around SoCal that had nearly all available spots taken and anything left was unavailable. Peering over the Supercharger stations nearby and they were almost always half empty. And gently caress having to use EVgo or any of those other poverty boxes. What I’m getting at is I welcome the ability to use the Supercharger station.

Three Olives posted:I'm sorry, I know I am the resident bougie punching bag, but buying gas is gross and annoying as hell. It smells, the pumps are loving disgusting, panhandlers accost you, you have to touch the pumps covered in filth, often surrounded by puddles of god knows what, at least a mix of gas spillage and window washing fluid, some of which might get on your shoe and tracked into your car... I don’t know where in the Bay Area this happens to you but having lived there for the majority of my existence it is almost a rarity to see panhandlers or deal with credit card skimmers (just use the tap function if it’s available). The smell and touch, well I guess it’s just you but I don’t need to be there any longer than I have to be so it’s not a problem. At worst I had hand sanitizer nearby or god forbid just wash hands. Before I bought my EV, I did almost all of gas purchases at Costco and besides the long rear end lines, I never ran into those situations.

Jalopnik has been notoriously anti-EV for a while now so I’d take their articles with the tiniest grain of salt, if not just straight ignore them.

Three Olives posted:https://www.reddit.com/r/MachE/comments/18shld4/end_of_ford_options_buy_the_car/ I'm going to assume that OP got the 2.5% because that was in the original contract with Ford Options. quote:Your refinanced monthly payment will be the same as in this contract if the refinanced amount will be fully paid in 36 months or less. Otherwise, your monthly payment will be the amount needed to fully pay the refinanced amount in 36 months. With my contract, I got 2.25% and expect to get the same percent when my 3-years are up in late 2024. With that said, I'm probably going to pay off the rest of the current payments and the balloon payment sooner.

Wibla posted:Both BMW and Tesla preconditions automatically if you next way point is a DCFC. Not sure how this is so hard for other manufacturers. The last couple of OTA updates for the MachE included preconditioning ~20 miles away to a DCFC, as long as the next waypoint is a charging station.

I first learned of Donut when I was playing Forza Horizon (4? 5? one of em) and they came off as mildly abrasive during their cameos. After watching a couple of their actual YT videos, it wasn’t any better.
