@@MarcNeilson Whisper mode allows no wheel slip at all. In fact, the car aims to keep dead straight even in unbridled. The lesser grip with the all seasons will affect your turn in, especially if you enter a corner too hot. You'll have to back off the brakes to get the wheel rolling again to initiate the turn. She'll rotate around a tight corner pretty good, without throwing the tail out. Gotta say, if you turn off the safeties, she'll have you facing the wrong direction with a pirouette, that hopefully was intentional.

@@Tim30-k6n This model is the LFP pack. Standard range model: 70kWh I should probably post it somewhere in all the videos.👍🏾

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

@@waynerm002 You're on point. I posted another video that shows my typical edge case scenario, 136 km in one roundtrip during a snowstorm. The car still only used 56% of its capacity. Every other day is 50km or much less in a day. Phenomenal gas savings on city driving, and time savings from not going elsewhere to fill up.

The charging infrastructure in Montreal is top tier compared to here in PEI. I was nervous switching to RWD after 10 years in Subaru Imprezas, the 2015 and 2017. Gotta say, I'm super impressed with the traction control system in the Mach-e for winter conditions when your driving safely.

@@Null04 plugging in helps, for sure. I am able to do so, but given that nearly half of the population may not have access to daily charging, I want to paint a bit of a picture about the feasibility of EV ownership as a renter. It's quite feasible to get by on 2 charges a week, and maybe 1 in the summer. We've had some bitter cold the last few days. Idling the car, and running heat definitely gobbled up range. One would need at least 3 charges to get through my weekly commute, and hopefully not more. If it was always 10 degrees below freezing, this would for sure hamper EV adoption more. Given how much better the car is on efficiency outside of winter, I'm still super happy, even though it's just as efficient to use our hybrid for winter instead, on some trips. Often the EV is still cheaper. That being said nothing beats the EV in terms of reducing dependency on oil and gas, it's power delivery, and the ability to charge at home or work is the biggest time saver of all. I haven't had to divert to a gas station in 7 months, which is an underated flex. Without consistent access to cheap charging, phantom battery drain from the cold, and reduced driving range are very valid reasons to wait for EVs to get better. The current EV drawbacks aren't for everyone, but I find that very few ppl that make the switch actually miss gas cars outside of special circumstances. Charging more in the cold suits my use case scenario, but it's nice to know what the car is capable of if I can't.

@lawpolo I haven't tried when unplugged, but perhaps still worth a try to set that departure time at least 40 minutes before you head out in the cold as it's supposed to precondition the batteries.. not sure how much power it uses as we are new to EV as well. We did a round trip 250 km today in about -8 Celsius and still had 25 percent battery. For charging at home we are using a splitter off of our dryer plug and run it out the window as it's right beside our driveway....

@@Null04 The other day I did 136km, highway driving, using 56% of the SR battery. I did plug in and precondition for that trip. Otherwise, my daily commutes are 15 to 20 mins each. 30 to 50km in a day is typical. I think the extra energy is to precondition in that case is a bit wasteful, so I just start the cabin heater with the app on the days it's not plugged in. The schedule on the app does precondition everything on the nights it's plugged in to charge. Right now I'm charging to 85%, only when the battery dips to 20%. Condo and apartment dwellers with a commute similar to mine can share an overnight charger, likely with assigned charging nights, given that will only need to charge every 3 to 10 days, depending on the season. Next, I'll set to battery down to 50% or 60% and charge daily, with battery preconditioning. Once I have both sets of numbers, I'll see if there is and added savings in the cold, by warning up the battery every day. th-cam.com/video/359IZs3fwdY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=wk3FlLINWmwEQL4g

@@FrostyAUT I'm still gaining experience with the longer trips, as I don't make many. I've only had to DC fast charge 3x in 6 months, all in the same trip. As much as I'm sure DC charging will heat the battery up way more than driving, I've observed the Mach-E to happily run near freezing without the battery's heater on at all for many of my short trips. Since the cold doesn't hurt the battery, and minimally affects performance, I'm with you. I don't overthink or sweat about battery preconditioning. I'm in it for the cabin comfort.

@@DaveVideos5 Goodyear Ultra Grip® Performance+ No complaints with them so far.

@@ElGoogKO , your right, I do primarily city driving. I drive with the heat on, 23celcius, when I have the family, and average 30-33 kWh/100km. By myself I put the heat lower, 19 or 20 C, heated seats on, I get 22-25 kWh/100km When I don't need heat, only heated seats and heated wheel on, I get about 15 kWh per 100km. 10 to 20 km, per trip, 15 to 20 mins each. Thanks for asking. Hope this helps. Try my calculator here clawpoloadollacents.blogspot.com/2024/12/clawpolo-car-costs-calculator.html The heater
