  1. Road Rage against MME

    I’ve never had anybody say anything negative about my MME. I have gotten a few compliments and people asking “is that a Mustang?” Before the MME I drove a VW Jetta TDI. Got a few “you know that’s diesel you’re putting in there, right?”
  2. Original 2021 Owners - Check In

    What’s supposed to be part of the 70K service? I just brought mine in and all that was needed was $20 for a tire rotation.
  3. Ice vehicles suck

    There are plenty of ICE vehicles I’d love to have… as toys. But for driving to work everyday, taking family trips, and driving around town, ICE makes zero sense for me.
  4. FordPass App is Now the “Ford App” (Version 6.0)

    I gotta say, the Ford app, as of version 6.13.0 on iOS, is looking really nice. They’ve polished it up a lot since 6.0.0 was introduced. Nice work @Ford Motor Company! Looking forward to seeing the new AI assistant feature when it is released!
  5. Spring Break - 2700 mile road trip - NC to Michigan U.P. to St. Louis

    Wally's in Pontiac, IL is awesome. I'm excited to try it out when we take a trip up to Wisconsin from STL in August. My wife and I went to Charlie Gitto's for our "honeymoon". We were broke and couldn't go anywhere, but we got a $100 gift card for Gitto's. We thought we were going to be able to...
  6. Realistic idea of an EV

    You're retired, you've worked hard, you want a Mach E, if getting one isn't hurting somebody else and you can afford it, I say get it. If we all made car buying decisions based purely on logic we'd be driving used Camrys until the wheels fell off. It's emotional and that's okay. Also, there's a...
  7. With gas prices likely to spike for a while, how you feeling with that EV now?

    Also, don't forget about those of us who purchased our EVs used. I got my `21 with 45k miles for less than what "comparable" used ICE models were going for (Bronco Sport and Escape?).
  8. Did Ford lower the monthly price of Premium Connectivity and Connected Nav by 1¢?

    Yeah, that's what I did last year. My wife and I had been look at trading in for something that would be a little better for us after we adopt our second child, so I wanted to go month-to-month until we made a decision. Turns out her 2023 Civic got a really good trade-in offer from Carvana and...
  9. Did Ford lower the monthly price of Premium Connectivity and Connected Nav by 1¢?

    I’m sure I was paying $10/month for Premium Connectivity and $8/month for Connected Nav. This morning I got an email that there was an error with my payment method and noticed the price of Connected Nav is now $7.99. Connectivity shows up at $9.99 now. Kinda funny to change it by 1¢. What is...
  10. New CarPlay App Is Alive!

    I updated to 6.7.0 last night when I saw this, but the Ford CarPlay app still didn't have these new features.
  11. Free Blue Cruise offered, then “just kidding” from Ford.

    I didn’t get a call, but during November and December the app was showing $24.99/month instead of the usual $49.99/month. Ford must have just felt generous around that time. There were threads about it here, but nobody from @Ford Motor Company ever chimed in. Wonder if we’ll ever see offers like...
  12. New CarPlay App Is Alive!

    Heck, I'd even take a medium or small precondition button! I'd even be happy with just a "precondition upon arrival" button that would automatically decide if it's needed and make sure things are preconditioned for a specific destination or waypoint. That way I don't have to worry about the...
  13. Free Blue Cruise offered, then “just kidding” from Ford.

    Googling that number brings up two results: one for another post on this forum by @Gino_A who said they got a similar call (maybe they can share if they ever actually got the free trial), and a site called Robokiller that says "users have reported receiving spam calls from this number." Other...
  14. Free Blue Cruise offered, then “just kidding” from Ford.

    Are you sure the original call was legit? Doesn’t sound like something a huge company would do when they could send a text, email, or push notification. Anybody else ever get a call from the Driver Assist team?
