  1. Road Rage against MME

    No, quite the opposite. Anyone who has addressed me about my Mach-E has been admiring or inquisitive. If you're going for incognito, try a subtle color and don't put giant ponies on the sides. :like:
  2. Post here if you have an active FDRS account and are willing to look up info for others

    Thank you for this! As of this morning I now have had 3.5.3 (5/9), 3.5.3.3 (5/20), and today 3.5.4 (6/1). This is just progressing down the list you provided. Now that the system has found my car, can I expect(?) 4.2.1 and on every couple weeks until caught up? Thanks!
  3. BlueCruise Half Off

    I cancelled yesterday and received a refund for my two unused days.
  4. BlueCruise Half Off

    I've been a monthly subscriber to BlueCruise at $50/month for a few months. I looked at the Ford app and I have no $250/year offer. I called the number in the Ford app and was told they only make the offer to some customers. OK. I cancelled my BlueCruise subscription that was to renew in two...
  5. Post here if you have an active FDRS account and are willing to look up info for others

    Woohoo! I received my first OTA update last night, Ford Power-Up 3.5.3, which I see y'all talking about in 2022. It looks like it's updates to some games, but it's something. Can you tell whether there's more queued up? 3FMTK4SX2NMA04026 I wonder if there's a relationship with the local Ford...

  7. Realistic idea of an EV

    For me it was the begrudging agreement that sealed the deal.
  8. Realistic idea of an EV

    I needed a whole house electric service upgrade to upgrade the garage. It's an expensive proposition. I wanted it enough to do it. Your mileage will vary.
  9. Realistic idea of an EV

    I, too, am retired (2018). No real need for a new car. Because I wanted an EV, in 2021 I invested in 100A electric service to my detached unheated garage in Colorado. Put in a 60A breaker for a 240V circuit. Had a NEMA 14-50 outlet installed on the circuit near the garage door. I didn't know...
  10. What tires should I buy instead of OEM

    My 2022 GTPE came with summer tires. As it was getting cold I opted for Michelin CrossClimate2 for cold. No complaints.
  11. Buy Used

    September '25 I met my daughter at a Toyota dealer when she dropped her Prius off for service. I wanted to look at the '22 MME GTPE they had on the used lot. The MME had 622 miles, manufactured 1/22, original sticker $72K. I bought it for $35K. I've had the HVBJB recall done, replaced LVB, and...
  12. Do you care about 1,500 kW charging?

    The panic that ICE drivers feel when they get into their cars for morning commute, "OMG I should have bought gas last night. I'm going to be late!" doesn't happen with overnight home charging. The interruption felt when they need to stop to buy gas while out running errands doesn't happen when...
  13. Do you care about 1,500 kW charging?

    Personally I would only care if my car were capable and the chargers were not. I have never used a public charger due to need, twice for experience. My L2 charger takes care of my needs, quite economically. On the other hand, getting to 70% in 5 minutes would be very attractive for...
  14. Opening/closing A/C vents

    Yeah, well ... I'd seen a bunch of posts talking about A/C controls on the big screen and forgot about the old-fashioned thumb wheels. Thanks!
