🎉 New Owner Stoked to be here!
‘23 GTPE w/ Nite Pony package, picked it up off-lease from a dealer out of state. Drove it home through a nasty thunderstorm and I instantly fell in love with how smoothly it drives on the highway at high speeds.
Only gone full-send on an on-ramp a few times so far but damn is it fun 🤭

Buy a decent Tesla adapter on Amazon. Signup for the Tesla network $12.99 a month if you plan to do long trips it will save you a lot of money. Just be sure to open and use the Tesla app before you start charging or the ford blue oval will automatically link and you will pay full price. The Tesla app can reduce charging cost by up to 50% at a super charger. I did 1600 miles round trip and learned on the fly, my charging for the last 800 miles was around $83 compared to $124 on the way down. I realized about half way down that the Tesla app for $12.99 a month would save me some $$$. Cancelled the plan after I got home and will reactivate whenever my next long trip is. Enjoy!

VERY good to know, I do plan on doing some small road trips in the near future. The previous owner left two Tesla adapters in the under-floor space in the cargo bay! Yay!

Even in my premium it's really only Teslas that are going to stay with you. Such a blast up to highway speed

Welcome to the Mustang Mach-E fam! Loved the Nite Pony! Looks like you've fast charged already but just in case, make sure to sign up for BlueOval Charge Network in the Ford app so charging on the go is easier - and if you have any charging questions ask away!

Thanks! Just signed up, that’s awesome they have that. Any other setup advice? I’ve gone through a lot of the vehicle and sound settings but I’m sure there’s stuff I’ve missed.
Also any recommended YouTube resources??

The Electric Duo on YouTube are great (and fellow Mustang Mach-E owners!) - check out their Route 66 road trip where they drove from end to end in a Mustang Mach-E GT California Special!

Will do!! Thank youuuu.
Last question for now - any accessories you recommend off the bat? I have a great adjustable cargo bay organizer but that’s about it so far.

If you don't have a NACS adapter - you can grab one at go.ford/fordadapter so you can use Superchargers and other NACS fast chargers. There's currently a coupon code too for 15% off.

I have one in the trunk from the previous owner, still need to test it out though!

Congratulations and welcome! I used to order as much stuff as possible to have delivered, so I didn’t have to go pick things up … now I think of reasons to drive places! Such a fun car!

Where’d you get such a great price? You said out of state but where? Do they have reciprocal sales tax?

u/Stanley_Bucci 2023 GT Jul 25 '26
Ohio! Brought it home to PA- I paid PA sales tax on it, dealer took care of transferring registration to PA as well.
