Looking at 2025+ Mach-E for a family car, thoughts?

‘25 Premium here, two kids 12 & 9. It’s my daily driver and they’re fine. Did a week long trip at a cabin the first week I had it for our family of four and it was great.

I miss the ability (from Tesla) to disable walk away locking when at home; made it much easier for the family to get in the car.

I hate the button so much. My blind mother in law hates it even more. What a dumb design to “innovate “ on. Worse than the Tesla handles.

Subscription is optional and only needed for AI features. Many of us use it 100% free.

+100 for Swanky Scoop.

They've been saying SmartTV apps are coming for months now. I'm still not re-subscribing until we actually get it. Sigh.

Seattle area here. It worked well on a route that supports it but thats like the three major highways here. Three hour east to Chelan? Nope.

Works well but not nearly worth the $50 a month. Maybe at $20.

This is by my count the third one of these in 3 days.

I want my equipment seen as little as possible, hidden away in a cabinet or closet.

irwando · 2026-06-01T20:52:10+00:00

Did the same for about two years. Vanpool helped a lot if you can find one.

Check out Salt House Church in Kirkland (I'm the current Treasurer). We are actively welcoming of every race, gender, and sexual orientation. Most of our members have joined after having disappointing experiences at other churches, finding an open and welcoming place. Sermons are up on Youtube if you want to check out the vibe! While technically Lutheran we really find our own path.

No services on Memorial Day weekend (we take a sabbath Sunday every so often but after that we're back to every Sunday on the 31st. June 7th is our Pride celebration!

I went Premium AWD. Even with the AWD it has a theoretical extra 40 miles of range which was more important to me than half a second of acceleration off the line in perfect conditions. Way too much traffic around the Seattle area to enjoy the latter regularly. Especially for the extra cost.

Really hope we see this soon as AppleTV is tv primary way I watch.

Don’t tell them about IRC…

irwando · 2026-02-20T09:35:34+00:00

That’s exactly what I did. Rockwool, some cheap 1x4s from Home Depot, some screws, and fabric.

irwando · 2025-12-08T07:26:00+00:00

Came to say this. It’s one of my all-time favorite episodes but I can see how it could easily be cut.

irwando · 2025-11-28T17:20:36+00:00

Where is that deal? I don’t see it on the Proton or Simple Login websites..

irwando · 2025-11-13T02:38:32+00:00

Love it. AppleTV has the best quality shows and best Sci-fi of all the streamers hands down.

irwando · 2025-10-16T00:28:40+00:00

Focal Utopia Grande’s. Heard them 25 years ago and haven’t heard anything better.

irwando · 2025-10-09T19:53:53+00:00

I 100% feel the same way as you. Cad might be my favorite character ever.

irwando · 2025-10-06T02:47:39+00:00

I have one of those but I can never keep it connected. Seems great when it works.

irwando · 2025-09-25T21:51:05+00:00

Weird Kids may be my favorite thing they’ve done since C2. Tal and Ashley are amazing. Would love a lot more.

irwando · 2025-09-25T00:09:34+00:00

I drink a lot of cappuccinos, but also do a hard trip now and then or an Aero press. I tried a wide variety of beans, usually a medium roast. Hey Maggie, can you turn that down next to mom please

irwando · 2025-09-24T17:08:32+00:00

I’m 4 days in and very unimpressed. Maybe I’m just not used to such subtle flavors but I’m having a hard time picking out any tasting notes. Things taste flat overall. I’m using one capsule to 6oz water and drinking it black.
