I’ve had the exact same model since September 2022. My experience has been very similar. No issues whatsoever, and I still look forward to driving it every day. On average, I drive 1500 miles per month, and am spending about $40 in electric. I couldn’t be happier with the car.
Awesome thanks for sharing and watching!
With access to the Tesla charging network your experience will get even better.
Ah my biggest problem was that I could not charge the car at home, and I did not have the time to sit each day and charge the car for 1-2 hours (Mini cooper SE) Might go back if I move soon to a house again, so I can charge at home.
Just bought a 23 Gt p. I’m about 2k miles a month. Curious to see how it goes. 220 miles tomorrow mostly highway. Hopefully make it back home without a charging stop.
Great review! I am a 2022 Mach-E Premium owner and I'm currently driving the vehicle in cold and snowy conditions. The car handles amazing well and the cabin heats up super fast! There is a bit of range loss, but not an issue at all for me to travel to and from work. Overall, loving the EV!
Awesome! Appreciate it thanks for watching!
Coming up to 3 years old with my premium AWD extended battery MachE.
Nice! Any regrets?
@@CarGuy11 none, it’s been a great suv.
Really nice review! Easy to understand and to see if a vehicle like that is something that I can live with. And the answer to that is Yes🎉.
Appreciate it!! Thanks for watching!
I have owned a 2021 Nissan Leaf e+ now for 7 months. My job is delivering courtesy cars for various insurance companies in the uk. We supply models from a wide variety of manufacturers in the UK from the Vauxhal Corsa to Bentley's, though i have not delivered one if these yet. Even with what i drive at work, I have not yet driven one car i would say i would change my Leaf for. Except the Tesla. And i have driven BMW, Audi, VW, Mercedes etc
Interesting I haven’t been in a Leaf before.
I watch a lot of UA-cam videos about electric cars, and have for years. I can't count how many Leaf owners have expressed similarly positive feelings about the car. They all just seem to love it.
And it's especially true in Britain. (I think perhaps the climate is better suited for it, so the range holds up better.)
By the same token, almost every video I've seen recently about the Mach-e gets a lot of responses from Mach-e owners raving about the vehicle and how much they like it.
Buying one today, im excited at the same time scared bec. will be new to me to drive. Hope i will not regret it😅
Congrats! Be sure to watch all the Mach-E videos on the channel and you will be fine. ua-cam.com/play/PL_mAY6nSbKXhP86eYz5WGPPtyorzZGnn2.html&si=Tj58V2lnSQ4bEIqi
The problem with brakes on ev is not that they wear, its that they rust into place and get stuck cause they hardly are used. So a good thing to "grease" them up if you drive in salty enviroments once a year
True or just do some hard braking once a week.
Way more reliable than your Cherokee huh! No EV for us yet, gotta get our 2020 Cherokee paid off and we’re looking hard at a home solar system too. Here in Oregon we have “net metering” so our electric bill should go to zero, but I’m still crunching numbers on it all.
For sure ha! Ok yeah I’d like to see what Jeep does with an EV. Not sure how many miles you travel to the back country but could be an issue especially with reduced range in the winter.
@@CarGuy11These days I don’t go far from home. Heck, I can be on public land (BLM) woods in less than 20 minutes and Forest Service Lands in less than 40. CT reserve (around #500k), but $80k😮! Not really that much for a truck these days, but still. Jeep 4xe? EV space is changing fast, but home solar is looking better these days and would prep us for an EV too.
Tesla model 3 dual motor long range. Zero regrets and awesome EV ownership experience. EVs maybe not for everyone but for me,,,, amazing. 😊
Glad to hear! Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much. Do you use a regular outlet to charge or did you get the ?
I use an L2 outlet. Thanks for watching! ua-cam.com/video/5XS68FR8Bss/v-deo.htmlsi=DULK6tcNYIRPSVeR
I’m currently driving an Escape Hybrid but looking at a Mach-E now that prices have gone down from “yikes” to “merely painful” but I live in a condominium with underground parking and currently no charging facilities on site.
Aside from the issue of the OTA updates (since the car will be underground on the second level down and the cellular service is not great, would it make sense to look into a Mach-E at this point or am I better off waiting until either the charging situation at home changes or more fast public charging stations are available?
Thanks for the question. Honestly I wouldn’t recommend an EV to anyone that can’t charge at home. Yes you may be able to find public fast charging but the cost will likely be similar to gas. Now if you had free charging at work I would consider it.
Wld not buy new car cause of deprecation and taxes. Wld not buy out of warrenty ev as risk of battery issues. Ice cars more modular, can take to any local garage. Do not know of any non dealer ev garages.
Keep in mind most battery warranties are 8-10 years.
@@CarGuy11Is the warrenty valid if something is kicked up of the road and damages bottom of car? Incidents like this have happened, not covered by warrenty and car written off.
@@anthonybarnes5555 That’s what car insurance is for.
@@CarGuy11 yep, but the fact evs can be written off for something so minor is an issue. Not something I wld want to risk losing my years of no cliams to. Any damage to battery casing can lead to car being written off.
Covered by insurance like an oil pan damaged by a road hazard would be be on a conventional car if it damaged the enginer@@anthonybarnes5555
Can anyone tell me how to delete the "FORD MOTOR COMPANY" program from my car memory. This automatically send my charging bill to Ford. I do not have an option when I plug in to charge my Mach -E.
You need to go to connected services in your ford app and blue oval charge network management and deactivate that.
The switch to EVs is happening faster than many realize. I owned Ford products on the 1980's and 1990's, but lost faith in them.
Farley's hot and cold EV leadership is not encouraging. He is more worried about FMC stock prices now versus FMC surviving the next decade.
I don’t know he has some of the most successful models in the industry. F150, Bronco, Mustang, Raptor, Explorer
@@CarGuy11will that be the case in 2030, I doubt it!
I regret cause resale $ is dirt !
True but I think it will come back when the economy does.
@@CarGuy11 economics heading down
@@CarGuy11when ICE cars are suffering far less depreciation, it's not the economy.
Resale value of Teslas are even worse!Just buy a used car!
When you buy tech, it always goes down in value quick. Before EVs were much of a thing, most people knew they lost 20% of their vehicle value in the first year. Many would only buy a three year old vehicle because a big chunk of depreciation happened in those first three years.
Leasing an EV right now is the right choice for many. I am happy I bought my Model 3 and the $5,500 in local and state rebates has helped watching the value of my vehicle drop them be less painful.
You couldn’t afford the gt?
Wasn’t needed for a daily. Have my sports cars.
How is the resale?
Nothing is good right now.
Resale? 50% after one year. Don’t let the retail used prices fool you. Get a real quote from a dealership or national used car website. They’ll quote you $22000. I know, I have done it.
@@heftex8339 Oh man !!! Seriously I fell bad for ya man!
@@henryhill3778 no no…. I didn’t get caught in this. I was looking at the searches. I have not owned one… yet.
just to much for my life style , i cannot be worried about updates ,, software ,, Charging incompatibilities , all the Extra costs involving an EV , not too mention all the time involved ,,,, every thing is put on the Customer while companies get Billions in incentive's ,, we the customer ends up paying huge some's of money for this EV change is it worth it ,, then trying to justify it with a little performance hhhhhhmmm hm
Yeah it’s not for everyone. More for someone interested in latest tech.
As someone who just bought an EV posts like these are so weird to me lol. We haven't had to deal with any of the stuff in this post and the car has been great.
@@BeautyBeastRC yes but is walmart 80 ,miles from you ,, if I lived like on a golf course travel a few miles a day then yes an EV is perfect but in realitymost the majority drive more than a 100 miles a day ,, I use the same batteries as in .. EV;s everyday they degrade so fast from 100 % to 90% overnight unreliable , ev;s are not made to be drivin on a highway everyday the battery cannot handle it period at high speeds it will burn up you live in a fantsy world the carbon foot print has exploded since the making of EV;s china is making 20 new coal burning factoroys ,, thanks to the EV and renewables ,, there is more c02 now then ever
@@bengordon7635 bro there is no way the majority are driving 100 miles a day.
@@BeautyBeastRC bro cutting 20 to 30 yards a day driving all over the county with a enclosed trailer , in an EV truck would be a joke ,, you would be at the charger most the day ,, most people the have an ev drive mabey 20 miles a day .. 1 percent of vehicles around me are ev;s why they are worthless
"... and probably not for people that don't want to be bothered"
Like battery degradation, reduced range on cold weather, reduced range on hot weather, outrageous "refuel" time, risk of self-combustion, risk of outrageous insurance costs, low resale value... did I miss something? lol.
Lol, It really depends on your use case.
@@CarGuy11 I don't understand what do you mean, every risk mentioned follows every "EV evangelists" almost daily.
@@SSS_HEX As I said this isn't a car for everyone. These issues you stated don't affect me for my use case.
@@CarGuy11 Until you go to sell it. Good luck with that.
@@bob-qi4nrBy the time he goes to sell it, if he ever does, more people will know the difference between reality and FUD.
Just watch.
Support your local coal miner and buy an EV. That is where the electricity comes from.
My home has solar, California power has expanded wind and solar and shutting down coal plants, so coal power is going away. In Australia solar has ended their use of coal.
So many foolish myths. The world is changing and for national security, going EV is better. We could just let China takeover all manufacturing. You the thing that helped allies to win World War II.
Wrong
Maybe in your third world country.
Sorry Grandpa, coal is an ever shrinking proportion of the electrical grid and it’s not coming back despite what Donald Trump promised you. 😂
(And btw - an EV powered by 100% coal generated electricity is still lower lifetime emissions than an ICE car. 😆
lol wut? do you even know what year it is?
