They may be asking for “heartwarming” stories but my guess is it’ll just be another place to file complaints. ?

Was an early day 1 (November 2019) order but canceled about 1 year later when there was no tow rating assigned to the vehicle. Bummed about that (What? An EV 346hp cross over can't be used in multiple fashions as a Toyota Rav4 hybrid could) but monitored this site for greater information. Learned the exact same vehicle had a tow rating in Europe and some USA owners demonstrated safe tow capacity. Traded in my mint 2017 Ford CMax Energi for an used mint 2021 Mach E (came from Ford headquarters) in the exact confirgurations I had in 2019 during 2023 when fuel prices were significantly greater than now. Better tech, safety and performance than previous vehicles made a strong pull to make a change. Did not care for Tesla's concept of using the large center screen for every function. Had concerns about Tesla non-software reliability especially "Y" suspension issues back then. So far dealer support is good as they did the HVBJB recall without a problem. Ford needs the marketing team to be more active in regards to improvements to the vehicle. An example was the 2023.5 heating system upgrade to 7kW and a new "duct" system for it. Peers on this site broke the news for us.

Once upon a time, an early adopter decided to support Ford and buy its new EV.
Then Ford forgot about them.
The End.

And there's the haiku version too!

Early faith was bold.
Ford's promise charged hope with spark.
Then silence, cold ghost.

I was going to ask if we can share complaints about continual decontenting.

Maybe that would count as “heartwarming” to the shareholders? ?

I am the smallest shareholder. For some weird reason I ended up with one share. It was great to get the shareholder pack and asked to vote.

Might change of course if they show more promise. Seem to have shown strong resilience under the current situation.

I never knew there was a “shareholder pack”.
BtW, there are a number of shareholder activists and groups who will purchase just one share of a company so that they can bring forward shareholder proposals related to causes or interests they support.

Bought one 2021 Mach E in USA, Bought another used one 3 weeks ago in China for family recently : - )
The used one in China --
- 2021 Mustang Mach E, Base trim in CHINA, same battery size.

My highest praise is that we use the car as a car. I don’t have any special use cases. I just car with my car.

I wonder if they read chasincoral's haiku-like maxim:

"Every winter it is clear that battery degradation is severe. Every summer it is forgotten."

I don’t think that fits the “rules” for a haiku ?

So, I asked an AI for an appropriate haiku and it came up with:
Frost bites the battery, (is “battery” two or three syllables?)
Miles shrink in the chill of dawn,
Silent roads await.
