I did one of their test drive events; both i4 models. I agree with all of these comments ^^^. Also, it was a bit off-putting to have to order the M50 to get driving assistance features. Oddly enough, I liked the acceleration sound effects!

I had the same experience, driving only 1-2 miles a day since COVID. Tesla service even sent a PDF report of their findings.

^^^ This is why I never bought a wall connector. Tesla changes like the wind on everything, so I can totally imagine this happening. Also, way back when I got my 3, they delivered it with like 40% charge and the first thing I did was pop out UMC and charge on 5-15. In retrospect I know I...

@ScottNY Totally agree with theories on A, aware of the Phrase from C. B might be a stretch, as it’s hard to imagine someone who can afford a Mach E ( along with the 15k added dealer markup) feeling like $6 gas price forced an EV purchase. I agree that the Mach E must be a hell of a lot more...

Went out to eat last night, saw a nice new Mach E in the parking lot. Stickers on the back window in this order … A. Thin blue line flag B. Forced to buy this EV against my will C. Lets go Brandon Still struggling to interpret this combo 😂

That part I knew, they are refurbished packs with age appropriate capacity.

I mean there has to be some objective measure right? If I went and said my LR only charges to 225 miles (69%), what’s to stop service from saying that’s not the case? If there was any chance of that happening, the battery warranty is a joke right?

Am I incorrect in thinking there’s an alert in the car when it hits the 70% or lower capacity? Thought I read in other threads that people got alerts.

You can make 65 miles each way without charging on an LR model. I regularly go from Orange County to San Diego and back, which is 80 miles each way. I'm not a leadfoot, and never tried in wind or rain though.

We haven't even talked about the seeming neurosis of the price hikes; lol. $1k hike overnight, $2.5k hike days later. I feel like others may do this better. If Apple wants more for an iPhone, they time increase to feature releases and some regularity.

Spot on! The BMW i4 caught my eye when it was announced, but then I thought "dealers" and "dealer markup" which I'm sure will be at least as much as markup on the Mach-E. Forget about it!

I thought MYP at $63k might be a good upgrade for my 2019 Model 3 at some point, but not $67k. At this point, I'll baby my Model 3 as long as humanely possible. Even worst worse case of paying out of pocket for a battery failure at $15-20k seems like a bargain by comparison!

Goes without saying. Haste almost took me down with this one.

Right. My theory is MCU crash or subsystem crash. I just so happened to have mobile service coming for something else tomorrow AM, but I’m going to ask if they can dig up logs and have a look.

I do have that recall notice, but it was thinking it read like an all or nothing failure of the camera.
