Hi there,
I am in the process of buying an electric car and although I have 2 possible candidates I have a question about the mustang mach-e that I hope someone can solve.
I would like to know if the mustang has full OTA updates where you update things in depth of the car (battery, engine etc..). And not only the part of infotainment and navigation.

Thank you very much

Yes. Nearly every module can be updated over the air (mobile and/or WiFi). (See this list for details.)

This is one of Ford's first vehicles with this depth of updateability. So far, Ford has been conservative/slow with the updates, but we've received about 5 so far on our 2021 Mustang Mach-Es since March of this year.

The 2022 Mach Es are supposed to arrive with a larger useable battery and improved charging curve. While details are vague, Ford has indicated these will be made available to 2021 Mach Es as OTA updates (Power Ups).

is the larger battery from changing the percent buffering or is it actually a different battery?

so theoretically at some point they can do this mod as an OTA perhaps.
Tesla has done this, so my expectation is that Ford eventually does the same after they’ve had time to gather real-world data and adjust accordingly.

Not only can they, they are planning to. That’s what I said above.

They say they have OTA, but you have to be one of the lucky/blessed to get them. Some of us have had the car for six months with no OTA updates, even bug fixes. Buy something else if OTA is a big deal for you.

Do you think it is possible that an OTA update could improve and increase the current charging speed?

Yes Ford has already indicated that the charge curve will be changing with future OTA's.
