2024 Mach E | Blue Cruise 1.3 and Faster Charging
For 2024 the Mustang Mach E sees a mix of hardware and software changes that , combined, make the Mach E more compelling as longer distance EV in a very densely packed crossover segment. BlueCruise continues to be improved and version 1.3 sees its first appearance on the 2024 Mach E before making its way to other Mach E's and ultimately the rest of the Ford lineup. Once you're off the freeway/highway you'll be able to take advantage of significant (thought not complete) access to the Tesla Supercharger network to aid in getting you back on the road quickly. Not near a Tesla charger/ No problem, you'll still benefit from the decreased charging speeds and the improved efficiency. This hasn't earned the title of "Best Road Trip EV" but it's closer this year than last.

Are We There Yet? | Tesla Full Self Driving 2024 Review
Переглядів 6 тис.28 днів тому
The concept of a "self driving car" is nothing new but there's only one manufacturer that sells a product titled Full Self Driving. This package has been available for years and while it has certainly improved over time there are still many factors keeping this from truly being "Self Driving". So here in the year of 2024 we spend about 1,000 miles with this system to figure out how far it's com...

    The simple reason owners buy the hybrid over a pure ev and brag about never buying gas- road tripping time to charge and difficulty in finding working chargers. A hybrid saves you from home charging the same as an ev for 90%+ of your driving. Distance driving now costs the same per mile using gas as using pure electric. 10 cents a mile. A hybrid driver doesn't sit for a half hour one or more times. A hybrid owner doesn't worry about charging locations working and waiting in line.

    Get any Ford with co-pilot assist + OR co-pilot assist 2.0. These will "Center the vehicle in the lane" when the road has painted lane lines and provide adaptive cruise with auto braking. This works on any road with visible lane lines!!!! The co-pilot assist 2.0 also can recognize curbs. I will not buy Ford's blue cruise hands free mode! GM does not do lane centering according to my sales rep. I will not buy or trust GM's Super Cruise! I will not buy a GM or Tesla until they have lane centering like Ford or Volvo.

    Ramcharger use to be a SUV from 1973-92 (like Blazer Bronco (everyone keeps acting like this is some confusing name). Just like a Ford lightning the Ramcharger is an actual name of an older truck/SUV (has zero to do with “the charger” which people keep getting all weird on? Nothing weird… They already own the name. I have an old hand me down 1975 Ramcharger. A super cool old truck with v8 4x4 and full removable top. This new truck HAS NO AUTOMOTIVE TRANSMISSION… period which is what it would have to have to be a true hybrid. It would have to have stand alone Penta with truck transmission to be a hybrid This truck has to constantly utilize the electric motors front or rear or both The 3.6 Penta is only a generation engine only (it will not be the drive motor under any conditions) because it’s electric motor driven only I think people are not figuring the mileage correctly because the generator out performs the battery pack People are complicating and giving misinformation on it being a hybrid because there is no driver control over the Penta engine as far as I understand The rear motor is smaller because of exhaust routing and fuel tank space, according to a video I watched actually using Stalantis information. It’s obviously insanely heavy because basically it has a 3/4 ton suspension (note 8 lug wheels) I’m not sure it’s worth all the craziness when honestly it’s TWO totally different concepts packed in one heavy truck I love Dodge Ram Jeep. It’s probably got sum good purposes but I’m totally not interested because of the complications that I can’t service… I WILL NOT ever buy a vehicle I can’t work on without buying thousands of dollars of diagnostics that will change constantly as this evolves.

    Wow, very interesting. I originally come from Australia and normally there a home will have single phase 240 V. However, if you install a Tesla wall connector, as you pointed out, you have to wire it three phase because of the phase load balancing requirements. The electrical system in the United States has always bamboozled me somewhat because I am so used to having a three phase environment for heavy electrical loads in a household. Great explanation Alex I learned a lot, particularly that the onboard chargers are current limited, not power limited and the difference between US Mains power delivery at a residential home as compared to a commercial property. I personally would very much like to see that in the near future on board EV chargers are all rated for at least 80 Amps, vs the current 40/48Amp, as with batteries the size of the Silverado they are not simply adequate enough to take advantage of super off peak rate time periods..

      @@Bum_Hip The Mach E isn't really any slower than "average". Part of the charge time difference is the battery capacity size, Ford has a bigger than segment average battery in both standard and long range models which is why the real world range numbers are solidly above average as well. The SR model with the LFP pack does not peak as high as the Model 3 with the LFP pack, but 10-80% it averages ~85 kW which is right in line with the LFP Model 3 which averages ~80 kW, but the Mach E takes a bit longer since the battery is bigger. The Mach E also averages a faster charge rate vs the Equinox EV, Solterra, Bz4X, small battery Ariya, etc etc. Comparisons are important. With the big battery Mach E, the average is "OK", the update should get the average 10-80% rate over 100kw but the exact rate remains to be seen. Model Y averages 102+ kW so again, in the window, but the Mach E has 18 kWh more capacity which is why in our real world test the Mach E got better range. It's really only the Hyundai/Kia/Genesis EVs that beat the segment average by a large margin (assuming you have a capable charger). Ioniq 5, EV6, etc will do 10-80% in a very short time and average ~190 kW

      @@AAutoBuyersGuide On a 300-350 miles road trip with a single 15 mins stop for bathroom & charging, the Extended Range Mach-E is just as fast as any Tesla, Hyundai or gas car. The problem has always been for that 2nd, 3rd, 4th charging stop where in the past, it always took 10-15 mins longer than every other EV. The improved Mach-E should narrow that gap considerably.

      I realize this will vary based on conditions but how many miles does the 2024 Mach e ext battery RWD average at 80% charge on a road trip? Trying to decide if I can drive from LA to SF on a single charge.
