I'll tell you one thing I've learned in this forum is that at 36 months go back to the dealership and replace the 12-volt battery. Trying to get that last mile out of the original battery is not worth it.

Well, before trump did away with it, there was a $7,000 credit on EV purchases. It went away last September I believe. As the Mache is built mostly in Mexico it wasn't eligible for the rebate if you bought it outright but there was a loophole that if you leased the car the dealer did get the...

When I went in to buy my Mach e I had an appointment with one of their EV specialists and of course he didn't show up for work that day. Their other EV specialist was with a customer, so I was relegated to the first guy that gloomed onto me when I got out of my car. A nice enough guy but he knew...

Last September my wife and I drove over to the west side of the state to go to the Washington State Fair in Puyallup Washington. We made the trip to see Darius Rucker in concert. We were staying at a hotel in Kent WA about 25 miles north of the fairgrounds and after the concert around 10:00 pm...

Is there a trip odometer that can be re set manually hidden somewhere in the computer? I can't seem to find it.

Original poster here. This is the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth. After reading all the replies (thank you one and all) I was converted. I would no longer be a slave to the fob. This morning, I headed out to the garage to drive into town. Walk up to the driver's door, push the...

I have used Phone as a key exclusively a few times (left the fob at home) but as a general rule I always carry the fob with me too because without the fob the door locks seem to take a couple of extra seconds to connect and operate and it's just enough of a cause to scare that it's not going to...

I haven't seen Costco mentioned re: charging. Costco opened a new warehouse in our town last fall, and they have a huge gas island and also numerous EV fast chargers that have cables for both Tesla and non-Tesla's. It might be worth looking at their web site and see if the warehouse where she...

It will definitely take out those front sensors. Car wash of course. :blush:

muchas gracias!

My previous car was a Mazda CR-5 and periodically I would get a pop up saying the front radar was offline because the sensor was blocked by too many bugs or just too dirty. It was easy to clean it off and it was obviously the center Mazda big M logo. On my Mach E I'm not quite as sure where I...

Sorry, what is "ABRP"?

Thanks to everyone who replied. Good advice all around. Blue whale got me checking and since the car is balanced front and back and since I drive pretty conservatively Ford says I can go 10,000 miles. I've just now passed 5,000 miles and my strategy now is to wait for when the dealer wants to...

It's time to rotate and I'm frankly scared to have it done. Where do you go where they will know the proper lifting technique? Do I need to buy a set of Mach E Lifting pads to take with me. A previous post I just saw, the guy had the warning tape all over the battery rails and they still lifted...

I bought this bag from Walmart for about ten dollars for another reason, but when I got the car the cable and charger fit in it perfectly. Ozark Trail 17.44 qt 50-Can Soft-Sided Cooler Tote, Gray
