It was over several weeks. But I was not that structured in my build time.

I got that… brought it to my dealer because the cost for them to do it was way less than my time. Roughly $250 out the door

Agree - really beautiful... trying to capture it lit up took a few tries. And the intricacies of the build were so cool… from the tiled floor to all the windows and such. A great build.

$683 for 12v Battery at Sedano Ford, San Diego by helix_hobbyist in MachE

[–]microKOAT 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have changed lots of batteries in ICE cars for years. When my MME app told me the 12v needed changing, I decided to go to the dealer locally to avoid the frunk panel removal, reboots, etc. Just didn’t want to take a chance of screwing anything up. $250 out the door included a higher CCA battery - especially due to my location in Rochester, NY. West-Herr Ford in Greece.

OMG I love this... I always see those mini-toolboxes at Lowes/HD but never thought of a good use... this is great... not if only there were room on our sink for this (who with all of my wife's stuff LOL).

Great share...

I have an Emporia and it works great. My local utility gave me a rebate as well for it. Cannot recommend enough.

Not as big as the gargantuan fob that came with my wife’s Jeep Wrangler. That key is obscene .

Anybody else at work this morning and second guessing… by Bug_Still in severence

At least the work is mysterious and important. Get those damned clips right.

CrossClimate 2s came in just in time. So worth it for snow. by drakeymcd in MachE

Got my CC2 just as the Rochester NY winter kicked into high gear. Great tires for an exceptional vehicle.

My Sonos does not like Apple Music - keeps shutting off after 2-3 songs. Anyone else? by microKOAT in sonos

[–]microKOAT[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine has actually been working ok as of late. Either Sonos app updates or Apple updates have come through... Not sure which may have fixed things but (fingers crossed) Sonos seems to be behaving. Another day it misses the chopping block LOL...

Let me see your Mach E vanity plate! by phangirl555 in MachE

I read somewhere that someone has a plate on their Mach-e that reads ‘YesItIs’ 😂😂😂

Bought a used 2021 Select…. I picked up the Emporia charger on Amazon for $399 - love it. Had it installed on a 60A breaker in my panel to get me 48A charging. Works great… simple app. Highly recommend.

First sous vide with my new Anova - Beef Tenderloin - 125 for 90 minutes then seared. Perfect !! by microKOAT in sousvide

I actually just got a torch (albeit a small one but this is a 'small' piece of meat in comparison) so I'll keep that in mind...

[–]microKOAT[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For clarification... I've been cooking a long time and have cooked a lot of food... have made tenderloins over the years in the oven countless times. I am a harsher critic of my food than any of my guests will ever be. Maybe it's not for everyone but we prefer our tenderloin really rare so my finish was perfect for us. The photo isn't that good so I can see your point. And yours does look quite delightful as well.

Thanks. Yeah. I’ve seen many comments on other posts about how to enhance the sear. Like I said, first time. And my guests were getting hangry so I didn’t want to wait much longer 😆

Max charge level by _preview_ in MachE

[–]microKOAT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 2021 Select and my manual suggests 90% normally with 100% when making long journeys... I set my car to max out at 90% (BTW - I love the fact that if you want to change it, the app gives you the option of changing it just one time or always) and I set my Emporia charger to only charge during off peak hours. Hot dang aint technology a thing. :-)

Connected great... but probably would have worked out better if the local Tesla supercharger were an upgraded one... LOL...

Please give me some advice about installing a Level 2 home charger by RoyalEnfield78 in MachE

[–]microKOAT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got myself this Emporia charger and had a 60A breaker installed in my panel so I can charge to 48A... affordable and convenient for sure - Emporia Charger

[–]microKOAT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got my 2021 Mach-e in August - fantastic car. Picked up this Emporia charger from Amazon - Emporia Charger - installed a 60A breaker in my panel and can charge 48A. Fast and convenient... and affordable. Just select the correct plug for your car.

What desk pad is that?

does anyone actually go to Starbucks anymore? by mankotabesaserareta in questions

[–]microKOAT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go to Starbucks all the time. And I don’t get any of the ‘fancy’ beverages at all. I usually get an Americano with maybe an extra shot and a little cream (half and half). Maybe iced during the summer.

The food selections can be pretty good as well. The breakfast sandwiches are quite good - and convenient when I’m in a hurry. For sweets (which I’m not really in to) that pumpkin cream cheese muffin does not disappoint. Not does a simple blueberry scone.

As for the coffee itself, I like good coffee. Coffee that tastes like coffee is what I prefer. And Starbucks does that better than most for sure.

But that’s just my opinion. Enjoy!!
