    Will I ever be able to "tweak" my 2021 GT to get more performance? Is Ford going to offer any options?

    oh, I am certain there will be a software hack... but then there will have to be a hardware mod to ACTUALLY cool key areas to enable high output/regen without 'thermal events'. My point is that the MME, tank that it is, is not the best choice for true performance. A software hack to enable 10...

    Will I ever be able to "tweak" my 2021 GT to get more performance? Is Ford going to offer any options?

    sorry... its a software/warranty clamp at this point. until/unless there is a software hack, the software 'calculates' limiting thermal limits in places they do not have sensors and clamps down on output. IF there is a software hack, or a future software version looking at (additional) sensors...

    14-50 adapter

    well....... I like having a nema 14-50 outlet available for emergency generator and other 240v tools in garage, so I prefer plug-in over hard-wired. that being said, I'd go for a plug-in, and set to 32amps max for safety. $400, how can you go wrong ?! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BZRTD9VS?

    Best Tire for the Mach E?

    I went +1 width with 245 Conti dws06+ ... maybe some some (5% ?) hit on range, but better performance wet and dry than stock Michelin on my Select

    14-50 adapter

    push the Dealership to get you the 240v pigtail that *should* have been included! I've used mine since day one to charge my '21 Select 36k miles, and wife's BMW 330e probably close to 30k.... so I think its been perfectly reliable.

    Gauge cluster?

    I'd be thrilled to pieces if CarScannerApp was available in AndroidAuto so we could display custom dashboard on the big screen.

    Anyone paying for the for the built in connected Nav?

    until OTA updates (with release notes and 'service pack' batch updates to most current stable build) are available, tested and stable, I feel that Nav updates and features should be free, and hopefully not require PowerUp OTA to update map data. Even if Nav data is not updated, the 'voice...

    Anyone paying for the for the built in connected Nav?

    I have been using Nav, just because it was easy.... but now that I can't speak in my destination while rolling, I'd consider AndroidAuto if you can use the voice command to speak destination address while driving. Does this feature work after native 'nav connected service' is locked ?

    Anyone paying for the for the built in connected Nav?

    can you 'speak' your destination address to googleMaps ? does this require going thru AndroidAuto to setup ?

    Anyone paying for the for the built in connected Nav?

    I just lost my 'connected navigation' as well.... and I'm pretty pissed off at @Ford Motor Company about it. As far as I can tell.... you lose two things: 1. you won't get 'live' weather, traffic, or charge station location updates. This I can live without since I have auto-update turned off...

    Do you consider the Mach-E an SUV?

    I consider mine (Select) a CUV.... but only after breaking the 'rules' and installing a receiver hitch for my bike rack, and occasional utility trailer use. without the hitch it would just be a big heavy pretty good handling hatchback with not good enough performance to be considered a 'sport'...

    PAAK and 12v degradation

    I turn off Bluetooth on my phone when I am home.... no problem with LV battery (3+ years now) since my MME 'sleeps soundly'. My office is right next to garage, and I am in and out of garge many times per day. I usually charge for a few hours every couple days to keep HV between 50%-90%, and...

    Preparing for Mach-E charging at home - preparation and installing charger

    unless you have two EVs, and both driving more than 100 miles per day every day, I can't imagine why you would want to install two chargers. personally, I'd have your electrician put in one NEMA 14-50 outlet (with 50a circuit in your service), and charge using a mobile charger at 32amps...
