That was about 3 weeks ago for me. And a good thing I did ... it's going down to 14°F tonight.

I'd buy one in a hot-minute if you offered a plug-in hybrid.

@Ford whatever happened to the Frunk update for 2021 Mach-E Job-1 owners? That was supposed to happen a few months after buying the car. We're coming up on 2.5 years.

WOW! PEDAL PEDAL PEDAL! Those turns at the Lexus Velodrome are 50° banks ... need some speed to keep from sliding down. I don't have the nerve to do those turns.

Seems odd to look at the constellations and see Orion upside-down. Safe travels.

I did some math. Feb 25 was basically the last day gas prices were 'stable'. At about $92/barrel for crude the pump price was $3.61/gal. Today crude is nearly $128 ... an increase of 39%. But pump price is only up ~14%. Once that catches up... gas will be over $5!

042: At L2 we rule out 6. Either 8 is 2nd digit or 2 is 3rd. L3: We now know '2' is 3rd and '0' is 1st. Back to L2 again... either 1 or 4 must be middle digit but it *cannot* be the '1' because L2 says it's in the wrong place. So it can only be the 4.
Do you use scheduled departure times to pre-condition?

That car is a winner! I'm loving mine!

...and that's with supply constraints. I wonder what it would be if you could have all the chips and batteries you want.

Did the details give you an update version number? I'm wondering which update you got. The most recent one I'm aware of is OTA 2.3 ... which was pushing out to Job1 cars.

I LOVE black ... but hate *cleaning* black. It shows *every* speck of dust. But when clean ... it looks amazing. 👍

Put me down for one of these the moment I can order it as a plug-in hybrid! Owning my Mach-E has really got me liking electric power.
Leave it plugged in (even if not charging) if temps are below freezing. Also, if you used scheduled 'departure' times the car will precondition the battery (and cabin) so you get better range. It does NOT precondition the battery if you simply do a remote start.
Extended Range is 270 *if* you have AWD. AWD is about a 10% hit to range. An RWD will be listed at about 300 mile range. Most people tend to get a little more.

We love it. We're in the middle of a 1500 mile road trip and it's great!

I even like the color!
You don't actually need keys with this car.

You're going to love it! Congratulations on your car and enjoy!
