I've hit deer twice with two different Mach-E's. They must be deer magnets. :crackup:

Technically, it's cyber orange, but most people just call my GT yellow.

Yes, I've had issues like this from time to time. It's very frustrating because it works 98% of the time, but when you absolutely need it to work, you can't count on it.

I had this issue. See this thread: https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/clunking-clicking-when-pressing-and-releasing-the-accelerator.39265/#post-870557

Please see my post above.

It would be nice. sigh

Here's why I wished the Mach-E and Lightning had real-time video recording: https://www.youtube.com/@WhamBaamTeslacam. I watch even though I don't own a Tesla, but proves the value of having cameras.

We have both. Love both. Which I drive depends upon what my mood is. If I have the need for speed, I drive my MachE GT. If I'm feeling big and bad and want to dominate the road, I drive the Lightning. Of course having the truck bed comes in handy when I'm working on home projects.

I couldn't agree more about adding ad-hoc preconditioning. I can't imagine that this would be hard to do. It would be so much more convenient than having to set up a one-time schedule.

I had a noise coming from the back of my Mach-E. First dealer said it was normal. Took the car to a second dealer said it was NOT normal, and found the problem (loose motor/suspension bolts). You have to be very persistent in order to get these kinds of problems resolved.

The second dealership resolved my noise issue. They tightened something in the back associated with the rear axle and suspension. Noise gone.

Thanks for the update. I would not be surprised if my issue was also due to a faulty motor mount.

After a second trip to the original dealer, they came back and said that the noise was breaking-related. They found a service advisory and did some break work. It did not resolve the noise issue, afterward saying that the noise is normal. When I balked, they invited me to take the car to...

Sounds like my car.

My dealership's first reation was also that it's break related. They still want to diagnose my MME like it's an ICE vehicle. I think that the problem is more likely drive-train related. I'm taking it back later this week.
