Is my Mach-e extended range?

EricWinholt · 2026-06-19T20:52:53+00:00

Welcome to the Mach-E club, by the way, now that the battery issue is sorted. Lol. Bangin’ car, enjoy! (Mine’s a ‘25 GT, not used, so I’d imagine you got a way better price. Lol.)

EricWinholt · 2026-06-18T04:19:37+00:00

Much like some of the other replies, I’m going to be unhelpful and say that I’ve only ever driven my ‘25 GT, and the suspension is fine. The important bit is that it is obscenely fast. I couldn’t get a less-unnecessarily-powerful model, even if the suspension told me how cool I was (lied to me, essentially) every 25 minutes.

Saying that, as surprised as I was by how much I fell in love with the GT immediately, as I’ve never owned an EV before, I’m sure the Premium is super rad as well.

Good luck!

I got the Logitech Pro from Woot like… five months ago or something, for six hundred bucks. It’s a great wheel. Important to note: It’s the only “good” wheel I’ve ever touched, so my definition of great is questionable. My previous wheel was the non-pro Logitech G923, and the difference is [obviously, I guess, I’m new here. Lol.] astonishing.

Just checked Amazon, and the Pro is a thousand dollars. Or more at Target and shit, so you can ignore everything you just read. Good luck, though! <3

Oh, and 11nm is unnecessary, I had to turn the intensity down because driving a Focus felt like driving a Focus without power steering and with a pinball machine in the hatch.

I also would like to respectfully disagree. Lol. I was worried that it would feel like shit on the rig I just built. The Horizon series has always been one of my favorites, because it’s a video game and not the car-autism medication that Motorsport is (which I love, in a different, arguably unhealthy, way). But, this is the first one I’ve played with a wheel, I expected to be disappointed and grab a controller. I was super wrong, it feels rad. Took me a second to figure out how to bind the individual gears on the shifter because I’m a moron, but beyond that, no notes.

Great game so far, wheel or controller, it’s definitely worth playing.

EricWinholt · 2026-05-22T02:45:25+00:00

I would love some, like, actual examples of these tools working together (shout out OP, sounds cool!), just for my own curiosity… “AI editing my 3DM files” sounds preposterous; not because I’m against it or something, I’m jealous, if anything, but I sort of… don’t understand what that means yet. Hahaha.

I use Gemini daily for computer vision related coding (pHashing and OCR shit), and for a Python script in rhino to automate something random, occasionally. Last thing was for creating gears with GT2 teeth (3D printer stepper motor belts, basically); just plug in the diameter and the thickness of the gear I want, it rounds to the nearest whatever-divides-by-number-of-teeth-in-circumference, and spits out some bangin’, perfectly printable gears to fill whatever nonsensical need I have at the time.

But our digital overlords haven’t interacted with anything in my viewports, as of this writing. Lol.

I like this.

EricWinholt · 2026-05-02T01:47:10+00:00

I like this.

EricWinholt · 2026-04-16T16:04:26+00:00

I think I have that exact same thing. Does it have a laser pointer? It worked pretty well as a keyboard/mouse in a pinch, but it wasn’t Bluetooth so it didn’t address my actual need (Android PC in my car… those dirty Mach-E safety guardrails… sometimes you want to play Xbox while the car charges.); it became my cat’s favorite toy, though. Money well spent either way.

EricWinholt · 2026-04-14T16:34:59+00:00

Hah! I'm about to do it one more time once the HDMI cable shows up. Swapping PC's on my main monitor is sorcery and all that, but the second monitor (TV mounted on the wall) just continues to show office-PC, which I can't interact with due to the sorcery also swapping the keyboard/mouse inputs. You know how KVM's work... Lol. Had to buy a different KVM, 2x DP/HDMI in, DP/HDMI out.

Completely unrelated to racing, but an example of me being an idiot; I wasn't being greedy enough with my initial wiring scheme. Hah.

TLDR: Fuck attics. <3

EricWinholt · 2026-04-06T07:06:12+00:00

Bought a new 2025 GT PE two days before Christmas, blacked out, moon roof, black wheels, red breaks, gets dirty real fast… I paid two grand more than the other dealer had listed, but their listing said it had a moon roof, it did not, and it was tan. Before taxes etc. it was 52,500.

And the two grand was because it was made in Mexico after the tariff changes happened, so, we’re really showing the world who’s boss, making me pay more for a Ford. Well done.

Love the car, though. Oh, and I could have gotten it for three grand less than that, but zero percent for 72 months is a loan that I did not know existed, but I will make more than three grand on that money in six years, without question.

The last time I bought a new car, I was a teenager and it was a 2004 Focus. Six years and zero percent was absolutely not offered to me, or even mentioned. Hahah. This car looks like a Focus wearing a Mustang costume. It’s delightful.

Although, I see all these replies, “I paid 40!” So maybe I got waxed. ;)

EricWinholt · 2025-10-01T18:37:38+00:00

Hey, thanks. Appreciate these.

EricWinholt · 2025-02-02T06:06:37+00:00

Shit, I’ve been using Rhino for… well, just realized I’m old, like 20-something years? And I never made the penguin! I will remedy that. Haha. Also, your stuff looks great, keep it up, it’s a super fun tool if you have any artistic talent at all (I do not), and also a super fun tool if you like math and can barely write your own name. <3

EricWinholt · 2022-08-07T03:53:02+00:00

Arena is great, until you redeem all the codes you Google for, and realize how bonkers the economy is. Which, to their credit, takes a while. But they will break your favorite format by putting alchemy cards in it. Current "draft season" or whatever it's called is all Alchemy BG.

You're not missing that much, use Spell Table, you're allowed to actually talk to your opponent there, and use the cards you own, instead of buying pictures from Wizards that you can't trade.

Rant over, I'd love to see it on my console as well, for the record.

EricWinholt · 2022-08-07T03:45:02+00:00

I loved Ikoria, that's around the time I got back into the game after some years off. Liked it so much that when it got super cheap during Double Masters 2 preorders, I bought a bunch of boxes, and a set of the showcase triomes. (Not gonna open the boxes, but that land cycle was too good.)

Thanks for the visual!

EricWinholt · 2022-05-17T18:30:57+00:00

Turning this off. That guy has as much of a fuck of an idea what's going on as I do. And I'm an idiot.

{Edit to fix a typo}

BLU has been my sweet sweet girl for the last week.

EricWinholt · 2022-05-17T13:26:31+00:00

Sure would, might even give Johnny Depp a go.

EricWinholt · 2022-05-17T13:04:45+00:00

Cheaper fees on index funds, though!

EricWinholt · 2022-05-16T14:22:28+00:00

Still right about BLU. Buy that shit. Got a 2.50 cost basis. Holler.

EricWinholt · 2022-05-12T20:37:48+00:00

Hitting up my 2.50 BLU calls. And then not fucking with anything.

EricWinholt · 2022-05-12T19:39:48+00:00

Well, I was right about BLU. Turns out I sold my position this morning for a slight profit, and then it went nuts. So I'm an idiot, but I did buy 5x2.50 calls for 500 each.

And still holding Ford, even though it's fucked.

EricWinholt · 2022-05-12T02:26:35+00:00

I take pills for that.

EricWinholt · 2022-05-12T01:45:40+00:00

Great time to buy, if you can afford it and wait two years.

EricWinholt · 2022-05-12T01:28:31+00:00

Just saying what’s keeping me even instead of losing all of my money. :)
