  1. (un)Stuck at 6.1.0 - 2021 Only

    I received a download 6.1.0 again. I went to software menu and found auto download was disabled. I re-enabled it to 1am every day. Now I'll wait and see. I'll post if the latest OTA updates begin arriving.
  2. (un)Stuck at 6.1.0 - 2021 Only

    I have a 2021 Job 1 with the same issue. I have an appointment with my dealer's tech specialist to see if he can download the latest updates at the end of the month.
  3. TOWING MAY VOID OWNER'S WARRANTY

    I was impressed with the offerings for trailer hitches in recent posts. I contacted my dealer to inquire about the cost to buy one. I got a real surprise I would like to share. My Service Advisor who is a real prince of a guy, advised that the installation of any hitches my well void my...
  4. See My New Trailer Hitch? Installed Stealth Hitches

    Don't want to be a downer but, my dealer advised that installing a hitch and towing anything will void our warranty.
  5. Job 1 Blue Cruise status

    I went to my dealer to have it installed. It took a couple of days as their tech downloaded the multiple updates (first one took over 8 hours). But, they delivered my car back in fine working order along with an invoice which lists many updates and corrections. No Charge. That's Shaffer Ford...

    I have noticed a lot of negative comments about the MachE; Ford and Ford Dealers recently. I am beginning to understand why the forum has a robot filter when you sign in. I have had a few problems since I took delivery of my MachE Premium in February. I usually try to resolve them myself. I...
  9. PAAK no longer working

    Have you contacted the Ford representatives through the help page on the app? I had a similar issue some time ago and they walked me right through. Actually, they have always been helpful whenever I am stumped.
  10. Why is my range so bad?

    While it is true that temperature has a direct negative affect on the chemistry of battery charging. It is not so simple. Everything we use and enjoy in our EVs is powered by the batteries. The heating system is the largest consumer of electricity other than the propulsion system. This also...
  11. Do not buy a Mach E if you're expecting a high tech car

    Well said and clearly related. Tech should help us with whatever it is associated with, not become an impediment.
  12. Another GOM Lie

    The number of variables involved in the calculation of range which are dynamic makes range fluid, never static. They include temperature, topography, weight of load,use of lights, heater or air conditioner. One should never be surprised at changing estimates. I have found my E's range...
  13. Some companies know how OTA should work

    I cannot agree with you. I have found the OTA deliveries to be well managed and seamless after setting it up to receive properly. Additionally, the contacts I've had with the support people have been instructive and professional. I admit to some frustration at first. This is my first EV...
