One year in and I still love my Mach E.

I got the calipers painted and the yearly maintenance done on the ceramic coating.

I think it turned out great and added a nice subtle touch.

My stripes are anything but subtle…

Congrats. I’m in Year 12 with my 355 and still line it as much as I did when it was delivered.

Absolutely stunning. Pure classy look and perfect match. Much better than standard red. Did they remove the calipers to paint them. I assume so that is obviously a high end shop. No can of Rustoleum there. Is it a high temp enamel or some kind of epoxy paint?

Thank you for the compliment.

Yes, they were done at a high end shop.

I assume that they took off the calipers and painted them with a custom color match system.

No cans of Rustoleum laying around

Not sure about the paint. I didn’t ask. I just told them what I wanted done.

That is not, nor will it ever be, in any way a Mustang.

That out of the way yours looks amazing and the Calipers are really nice touch. They are really nice looking vehicles in general and honestly if I had a desire for an EV it would be on my list. Once again not a Mustang but your “vehicle” looks damn good. Enjoy it.

Something like that

Looks sharp, PR64!

I am into my third year with the HellCat Charger.

Still loving it too.

Need some pics…

Have your bought tires yet. I've heard they only last for 20K and run about 3K for a set of 4 due to the weight of the car.

Looks really nice, painted calipers are a nice touch, painted mine red on my Ram 1500. Looks great behind the black 20"s

I like your Mustang, just talked with someone while at the dog park, they really liked theirs as well.

The 4 door Mustang is an abomination.

That paint is AMAZING!!!

That looks really sharp.

The Michelin Sport Pilot 4s? held up well on my Teslas.

The pirellis which came on this one were shot after about 12k miles. (Admittedly, that was 12k over a few years, and all city - Miami)

don't believe all you hear, completely dependent on driving habits just like a regular sports car.

I got 55,000 miles out of the stock OEM tires on my model 3 dual motor long range. replaced with pilot sports, don't expect to get the same longevity from them, much stickier. cost me 1300 at Costco iirc

No I have not.

I’m retired and don’t have a commute. @ 2,156 miles driven in the first year I figure that I will need a set in about 10 years

Yeah, The stripes set it apart from most any of 'em.

It looks way better than the 'before' pics you had.

Now about those C stripes... Some day?
