I know his is an older thread, but dude, you're a beast!

Well said, and your experience mirrors exactly what I was getting at. The Mach-E succeeds because it doesn’t force people to unlearn how to drive or interact with a car just to go electric. The controls feel intentional, the layout makes sense, and the performance immediately reminds you that...

Its not to much I can't handle. 20+ years in the Army, 3 wars and a couple of skimmishes. I'm polite, becasue there is a dark-side.... RGR that... 20+, 3 wars, and a few skirmishes ...

I totally understand all concerns. In my daily work space, I evaluate the usages and identify the gaps from a cybersecurity perspective. It's challenging and sometimes scary. This is why I can respect those who have concerns with its usage and applications. My evaluations or assessments of...

BlueCruise uses software and sensor fusion to interpret its environment, but that’s mostly traditional algorithms tuned by engineers. It’s classified as a Level 2 driver assist system, automation with a driver still required to supervise. BlueCruise incar behavior is driven by pretrained models...

That I don't know. Since this is my first Mach-E to include EV, and after observing for years. I'm hoping for a better outcome. As a diehard Ford guy, I am hoping for the best.

Lol, not at all, but I do suffer from disgraphia.. Thanks for being considerate!

Pardon me if my post came across as trolling, that was not the intent. I’m new here and, at the time, I had not gone back through prior threads on this topic. I had just become aware of the discussion around the F-150 moving toward an EREV-type approach and wanted to get a sense of where people...

That’s actually a great real-world example of both the strengths and limits of BlueCruise, thanks for sharing it. What you’re describing at that Rt 287 / Rt 208 split is exactly where BlueCruise shows that it’s still a lane-centric assistance system, not a route-aware decision maker. It’s doing...

Outside of BlueCruise, the Mach-E doesn’t really have what most of us would call advanced AI. What we have instead is solid automation and driver assistance, not systems that learn, adapt, or make independent decisions. BlueCruise is impressive, but it’s still a tightly constrained, supervised...

I don’t disagree that Ford executives ultimately decide the product roadmap, but I think the conclusion here jumps a few steps ahead of the evidence. You’re right on a few points: The Mach-E in its current form is not realistically convertible to an EREV. Packaging alone makes that unlikely...

One thing that often gets overlooked in EV discussions is design. The Ford Mustang Mach-E doesn’t try to look like a rolling appliance or a “space egg.” It looks like a car, and more importantly, it looks like a performance-inspired car. The long hood, aggressive stance, muscular lines, and...

Well, I'm sure that a lot of the topics discussed in this this forum have probably repeated its topic once or twice.

Good morning, Mach-E family 👋 I wanted to spark a discussion around the changes we’re seeing (and hearing about) with the F-150 Lightning, specifically the move toward a battery + gas-fed generator setup (often described as an Extended-Range Electric Vehicle, or EREV concept). This seems like...
