True. It depends on your risk tolerance. I waited three model years before buying a Mach-e. I could have bought earlier and maybe it would have been ok, but I felt safer waiting. I’m conservative that way. I did indulge in all the content before I bought it. That was super fun.

Maybe it’s age. I no longer try to win road trips. I still watch the Out of Spec races, but that’s not me. I’m perfectly happy stopping every 3-4 hours for 20-30 minutes to pee, stretch, eat. Heck, I’m on vacation now and renting a Nissan Pathfinder. I had a five hour drive. We left at about 9...

Agree with @Snakebitten: after you do a couple of one or two stop trips, it gets boring. I started the same way, but with my daughters. I knew we were going to have a pee break anyway (though not at a Buc-ee’s) so we stopped. And I plugged in. And then the car charged while we were peeing and...

There haven’t been enough EV pickup trucks yet, so I haven’t seen a bed cap that’s designed for aerodynamics. Like something Ford designs with a partner that is lockable and that smooths the airflow over the top of the truck. Would that be an interesting accessory?

Happy Mach-e owner here. It’s been a great first EV for our family. It’s given us 26k of trouble free miles. I won’t buy a Fathom. If I have to eat my words, I’ll come back to do so, but I’m just not a truck guy. Instead, I’m here for the UEV platform. I’m fascinated by the legacy...

Here for the platform, so: Bi directional charging (confirmed) Flat, consistent DC fast charging from about 10-70% Like 175kw, but hold it Excellent route planning with arrival SoC settings, “find me a different charger, sooner, I’m hungry,” battery preconditioning with a confirmation icon, “I...

Chant it with me: Mi-ni-van, mi-ni-van! 😆 The Mach E is plenty of space for me. I have the 2024 with the big frunk instead of the heat pump, which was a deliberate choice. I can put a standard overhead roller bag in the frunk. True, there’s no third row. One of my favorite vehicles was our...

It’s a gate, so mid gate? 35 inches is 2’ 11” (gained with mid gate down) 55 inches is 4’ 7” (mid gate up bed) Total is 7” 6’ (almost 8 foot bed)

Farley’s on record (Decoder podcast?) saying that Ford is derisking by limiting the initial model availability. In context, he was saying a pickup, not a sedan or suv, etc. I don’t know what that means for the initial availability of options. Maybe the first batch is standard range battery...

Excellent name, @rileyfromford ! Much better than a Ranchero. Coming from the Mach-e, I don’t want a bed. I do want the UEV platform. So keep the news coming! The more I see, the more I want to break my “drive it till the wheels fall off” philosophy. Looking forward to seeing the reveal.
