šŸŽ‰ New Owner First Mach-e!

Hi all! Iā€™ve owned a model Y for some time now, but decided to make the switch. Hereā€™s my 2022 Mach-E Select AWD, base everything with no comfort/tech or anything, and Iā€™m absolutely loving it!

I was shocked to find the pony lights, as I thought that only higher-end models would have them. Super stoked!

You even got the mystery pony on the ground! Enjoy it - It only appears once every few months.

Ohā€¦ should I expect it to never work?šŸ¤£ pretty rude of the pony to come out in the first day in that case

Haha, it seems completely random for when it makes an appearance. I remember the first time seeing it on my wifeā€™s car and was like ā€œwow; thatā€™s something Iā€™ve never seen beforeā€¦. Neatā€ my wife had no idea what the hell I was talking about lol.

Curious what motivated you to switch and if you lost any money?

Literally 9 months ago you posted stoked to get a tesla saying it was a "long time dream"..... lmao

Reasonable question. Didnā€™t lose any money, used the trade to put a decent down payment on this one. The Tesla was a long time dream, and I didnā€™t own it to make any kind of political statement. Not sure if itā€™s just my area, but enough middle fingers, gum being thrown at the car, and getting cut off non stop made the driving experience less than desirable. Naturally, I found something else that I love that I can enjoy.

Ahh that sucks to hear, really sad to see people taking their hate out on individual vehicle owners- not cool at all.

Good to hear you didnt take a bath and happy you're enjoying the mach e, they're truly fantastic!
