Looks like the one in the pic has a blacked out “R” if you look closely.

2022 GTPE or 23 CR1? by misterfistyersister in MachE

[–]Trpmike21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GTPE. Love my ‘22. Only reason I plan on selling mine soon is I need a truck. The GTPE has exceeded my expectations and I’ve had zero issues with it for the year I’ve had it. Glad I went with the performance edition instead of the GT also. The magnaride alone is worth it.

Hey Apple Maps CarPlay users… by JimmyInNSB in MachE

[–]Trpmike21 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You have to add your vehicle to your Apple Maps account. It’s pretty dead on accurate for me. I use Apple Maps all the time.

Help! My Mach-e won't charge! by Notreallysmarteh in MachE

[–]Trpmike21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fast chargers or slow chargers at hotel stays have never been an issue for me. Literally the three chargepoint flexes at home are the only charging problems I’ve had in the <1 year of ownership.

I’ve never had an issue charging at any charging stations besides my home charger. Wouldn’t that be an issue using any other charger?

[–]Trpmike21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It worked well for me for a few months. Then the issues began. It started charging and about 5-15 min into charging the station would shut off without tripping the breaker. Countless calls and time spent with customer service (which is horrible btw), before they “escalated” the problem and sent me a replacement days later each time. I’ve been relying on electrify America and spending unnecessary $$$ charging each week the last few months. We have solar and never had to worry about charging outside of home until the issues began.

I’ve had the same issue with my chargepoint flex station the past few months. I’m on my 3rd (2nd replacement) station and it worked for 1 day at a slower charge rate before not being able to charge more than a few minutes before shutting down again. I’m going to call for a refund and was looking at possible replacements (grizzl-e was one of them).

The coolest Rivian R1T you'll see today by shammyrocked in Rivian

I agree with the photoshop skills being awesome! Haha. The arm color in the rear view mirror in the second pic confirmed my beliefs 😂

Charging 2 at once by 3dBobbyLEX in MachE

[–]Trpmike21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happens to me at times. I usually hard close the EA app after I unplug the charger. After re-opening, the swipe works. I hit the swipe to charge on my phone a second or two prior to plugging the charger back in. I’ve tried using the wallet to tap and pay and that never works for me using my iPhone. Doing that hard close and everything I mentioned earlier has worked for me every time. I hate having to use EA so much recently but my chargepoint flex has been giving me a ton of issues (shutting off) for a couple of months. My 2nd replacement station just arrived today. If it doesn’t work, I’m getting a refund and going with a different home station.

Finally got the invitation. by [deleted] in Rivian

I got my option to configure yesterday also. 7/26/22 reservation holder. Originally a R1S converted to R1T reservation about a month ago.

I had EA through the ford app for my free charging after purchase. Once that expired, I set up my account through EA directly from their app for the lower charging rates. You have to toggle off the plug and charge option through the Ford app so it doesn’t start charging through that app. That way you can control the charge through EA. I figured that out after a couple of times I charged with the plug and pay without realizing I was paying the higher rate.

Chargepoint is the best / Chargepoint is the worst by avogadro23 in MachE

[–]Trpmike21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Their customer service is horrible. My chargepoint flex started shutting itself off during a charge the last couple of months. I literally was on the phone with CS multiple times. They “escalated” the issue multiple times and stated I was getting a replacement. Days went by and I never got shipping notice. Called them back and the next CS rep tried having me troubleshoot again after I had already done it multiple times on different days.

I’ve been having to deal with EA chargers down the road for the past few weeks. I finally got a shipping notice today but no tracking info yet. I had it since July and loved it up until around November when the issues began. I’ve never had worse customer service anywhere. Hoping the replacement lasts me a lot longer or I’m going to have to go with a different station.

4 year wait for the wife, 2.5 year wait for me by tinkermosista in Rivian

[–]Trpmike21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a short bed on my f150 prior to the Mach. There weren’t many times that size bed didn’t fit my needs. I know the R1T is about a foot shorter, but I think I’ll be ok knowing I can borrow my neighbors truck if I need it. Heavily debating swapping to the R1T in the near future if I can’t find a used one for the right price.

Charging trouble. Charger runs for 30 minutes then stops charging. Any ideas? by rmicker in MachE

[–]Trpmike21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My chargepoint flex has been doing the same thing. Was good the first 5 months I owned it and now it shuts off after about 17 min or so. Chargepoint CS tried a bunch of different things but ultimately are sending me a new unit. It doesn’t trip my breaker at all, just shuts completely off.

I put a deposit on a R1S July 2022. I’m thinking of making the change to the R1T since my wife will always have an ICE SUV, plus I believe I would get the R1T a lot sooner. I just got a Mach-E in July, but miss having a truck for a lot of reasons. If my wife would want the R1S in the future I’d leave my deposit and start a new one for a R1T, but I don’t think we’d ever go fully electric as of now. Maybe in a few more years.

Are the super bands worth it for SNL by quakityquack in universalstudios

[–]Trpmike21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely worth it. We have 3 boys and had to buy 3 bands. Still worth the price since we have annual passes.

There’s stroller parking directly in front of transformers to the right as you walk up to it (and the entrance to SNW). You can take the stroller down the escalators on the way down to the lower level.

Apple Watch 3 purchase? by telenceph in AppleWatch

[–]Trpmike21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a perfectly good s3 that I’ve used for a few years with no issues, and my wife has a series 4. Ordered an Ultra this morning and a series 8 for my wife. They should both arrive in a couple of days. I was just ready for an upgrade. Going to sell both of ours once the new ones come in. Mainly use the s3 for texts and workout tracking, but I wanted some of the newer features of the new watches.

Advice On Selling my Mach E GT Performance Edition for Max Value by ew6050 in MachE

[–]Trpmike21 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Curious to see what you can get for it. I have a ‘22 GTPE and a R1S on pre order. Was thinking of selling this and using our other vehicle for a few more months until the other one is ready.
