    I hate the new UI on the drivers front screen.

    I had to laugh as I read this thread and I never even knew the speed could have been in the center. Two-plus years into MachE driving and I never turned off the driver assist stuff for lane departure or lane centering cruise so that little car was just always there in the center. Having that...

    Winter driving: one-pedal driving in slush and or compact snow and ice?

    Agree with above (live in Colorado) and use 1PD all winter for going on my 3rd winter in a MachE. I do find using Whisper mode seems to be best in the snow as it reduces risk of breaking traction when accelerating and braking (regen less aggressive).

    Sharing a list of upgrades to my new 2023 Ford Mach-E GT PE

    This has to be one of the best most upbeat threads! I do love this forum. I don't post much anymore (two years into my ownership of my GT...and 2 months into owning a Lightning...my wife took my MachE :cool:). If you want to nerd out and learn more about charging, EVSE's/Level 2 chargers...

    Should I regret buying my 2023 Mach E

    Bought mine in 2021 and have had the HVJB failure. But I would still have bought one even if I knew then what I know now. Just would have sprung for the GT performance over the GT for the better suspension. I think many things are solved by the 23 year. Enjoy the purchase and EV driving joys...

    How long do you plan to keep your Mach-E?

    You need to add a choice on the poll: Turn it in and get a new/better EV when the Options or Lease Financing runs out. I love my my MachE (looking past 2x failed HVJB and a bum camera cable) and it is the best car I ever had but will be ready to give her up at the end of 4 years... I want to...

    2021 GT/GTPE MMEs Without HVBJB Failure - Tracking List

    Thanks for the callout on the vote. Too bad I cannot vote twice for two HVJB (one pre one post recall software…got to experience SSN brickage and SVS). Next week into the shop for the front camera failure cable replacement…I miss BC and adaptive cruise. But I still love my car and smile...

    Departure Scheduling hit and miss this fall.

    Well that someday was recently. I think with the last FordPass update I note now both my departure times and change in destination charging levels entered in FordPass seem to stick. I even updated multiple departure times it in my app, while sitting the car, and the car updated instantly. That...

    Departure Scheduling hit and miss this fall.

    Just want to report I have the same hit and miss problems for many months. Especially at home when car and phone are on the same Wi-Fi. Frustrating to never be sure if the changes take or not. Even the top level button shows the time like it took. I usually have to turn off and on departure...

    Would you pay $75/month or $800/year for BlueCruise hands free highway driving? This will be option for 2023 Mach-E

    I do like being able to eat a Chipotle burrito when cruising blue, but not at that price point. Will miss it when my free sub is up.

    'Precondition Now' Button

    I would vote no, a precondition button is not needed if departure times worked effectively. No need for a precondition now button if the departure times actually worked and was faster response times In FordPass. Would rather see a better redesign of departure times in the app than a precondition...

    Hotel Charging Etiquette

    That thread above is almost a year old...time for new one! :cool: What is more important no one has touched on is hotels need to keep adding L2 chargers every few years on pace with EV adoption. Most places add 2-4 and think they are done forever rather than developing a long term plan in line...

    Anyone else find themselves charging longer than needed because of fear that future charge stops might not be successful?

    I charge about 5-10% over what the onboard Nav says it needs to get to the next station to make sure I have enough buffer if I need to drive around due to a problem or drive faster than it thinks I will. It make a big difference going from 65-70mph vs. 80 (I just road tripped accross Utah with...

    Road Trip Report: Joyously boring and uneventful

    Hi Forum! This last week I took my first truly successful MachE mutli-DC fast charging road trip! My first trip was from Denver to Kansas City and back BEFORE the recall...bricked in the middle of Kansans on my return trip (reported here...

    Out of Spec review of the 2023 Mach-E GT - driving characteristics

    I am so happy Kyle took the time to come back to the MachE. It was great to see him see it as a solid car and praise Ford for being "best of ish" of older OEM's in the EV area for making changes and tweaks. Won't even touch the 5 second gray bar jail problem...nough said above. I agree with...
