2024: America Decides. A New SUPER POLL.

[oadesign]

My unsolicited addendum:

1. Announce and get the Mach-E Inflation Reduction Act-compliant ASAP.
2. Give the car a better ride, please. My wife's XC40 has much better manners when driving over bumpy roads, while the Mach-E bounces over the bumps. This shouldn't be that hard to fix.
3. Offer a long-range version with a lower drag coefficient, perhaps as a non-crossover version.
4. Increase the architecture to 800v. Hyundai has done this with the Ionic 6, yet the Mach-E is way ahead of it in several areas: Interior fit-and-finish, larger frunk, wireless CarPlay, and despite its shortcomings, Ford's Sync is head-and-shoulders better than Hyundai's software.
5. When changing to NACS, move the port to the driver side rear quarter.

You missed one: All of the above

That’s right, friends. The SUPER POLL is back. Prior iterations here and here. It’s a new year, and it’s time to remind @Ford Motor Company what software fixes and enhancements we really want.

So here's the deal. There are 25 options. All great ideas. You get to pick up to 10. Why can't you pick more? Because the idea is to learn which enhancements truly mean the most to the incredibly sophisticated and discerning segment of Mach E ownership represented on this board.

Once we hit at least 250 votes, the results will be personally presented to Jim Farley in the form of a singing telegram. The most awkward of all communication media. He’ll have to listen to us. And he won’t know whether to, like, look at the person singing, or stare at his hands.

Some of our prior requests have become reality. So VOTE. Democracy demands it.

So I guess this poll answered my question on no frunk button on the control panel. With 6.7.0 we now can open our frunk from the app and I've looked all over for a button on the control panel and never found it. I could have sworn someone posted there is a button for that but I guess not. Voted for that option!

I would have preferred a split screen app feature. For example, the upper half of the screen is CarPlay, and the lower half of the screen is all Ford's own software. I don't need to exit the navigation map when doing some settings or change music on the screen.

I recommend one more addition: add the driver's door "red numbers pad" to the right front (passenger) B Pillar so that this access mechanism is on both sides of the car. We use that driver's side red numbers pad all the time during travels, especially kids and teenagers in our party... one teen was the designated cook for the trip this past Summer so he was always in and out of the frunk and its cooler bags of food.

Better than a bunch of often non-working PAAK accesses... much easier to get into the frunk than opening the door and bending to pull the lower lever twice... easier to get into the trunk hatch as well if someone just wants to grab an item like a towel, a camping chair etc. EXCEPT that it's only on one side of the car... really? Why? Makes its usefulness less er... useful.

That would be nice. My wife hates this with so much passion, she just uses the backup start code if she's not connected to the vehicle she wants.

Tech savvy wife for the win!
Mine starts driving down the road, calls and asks how to turn off 1pd. To which I respond with ‘drive your car silly’.

How about custom drive modes…? I’d love to mix Whisper regen with Engage steering and suspension…

I had a similar suggestion to split Android Auto and radio as those are my common switch back and forth.

Also would like climate control to show fan speed and locations. But I'm thinking that's what informative tiles could include.

Reword “add trunk button” to “add trunk and/or frunk button”
?

I would like the option to select what I want to view on my dash panel where the car appears. Let me select current media playing, maybe charge percentage, who's calling or texting... Options.

I chose the 5 second limitation, and only that. It’s the thing I care about the most.

Until they figure out that it would do no more harm (or very little) to the vehicle, I would guess they will keep that function.

I doubt they will eliminate it. ?

That one is easy and will come with ann upcoming update to the Sync system.

 

[SpaceEVDriver]

I just wanted a second Mustang Mach-E for Christmas.

 

[Zekester]

O voted for better OTA release notes. That is close, but not really what I want. What I want is the ability to see what the current version of software my Mach E is running.
