Ahhh, lovely. I remember the early days in this forum! Otto is on a permanent vacation in Hawaii.

Fair enough. I've been waitlisted since my first mach-e in 2021, so I'll go back to waiting for my chance at the meager beta features:)

Probably. I wonder if anyone with a newer model has actually gotten access to anything out of it recently? I own a 2023 now, though it's probably in the same boat.

It's frustrating, because I owned a 2021 Mach-E that I ordered in 2020 -- I'm actually an early adopter. And I've been on the list for Early Access consideration for as long as it's been around, but I've never been granted access. Guess I'll try again.

This happens to me occasionally on my '25. Probably once or twice a month, when closing the liftgate, it'll close about 30%, then double-honk, and stop all movement. Happens either with PaaK or with the fob. Edit: on this thread, there is speculation that it may be related to the force sensor...

Love seeing actual engaged responses like that from Ford! It's good to have that confirmation regardless. Thanks:)

I agree, it'd be a nightmare at the federal level. Especially these days. But the point is that it's both possible and already being done somewhere in the U.S. at the state level. Sort of a PoC, if you will. I do fully expect this sort of thing to be state-by-state much as state registration...

It may actually be that simple. It's just a matter of getting the legislation in. Five states have a VMT already: Edit: VMT = "Vehicle Miles Traveled" tax

My point was that they don't have to even bother renewing a debate on what's "fair" -- they can keep it exactly the same as it was for gasoline, by making it usage (mileage)-based, unless you know of a way to tax everyone's electric "fill-ups". All of the problems with low population densities...

The current tax was essentially based on both mileage and efficiency. (it's baked into gas tax). So essentially to keep the status quo of "fair", the EV one should similarly be based on miles driven. It's the only way to logically keep it "fair". A flat fee punishes those who don't drive enough...

Really? It wouldn't be fair for people to pay their fair share? I mean, to pay their fair fare? What an imbecile this representative is.

From philly, and it's spicy brown mustard or nothing. :D

Here's some public feedback. One of the biggest disappointments over the years in regards to @Ford Motor Company 's interaction on the forum is a lack of constructive input or active responses to questions. The silence, along with the classic "Send us your VIN and Dealership and we'll contact...

That's more or less what I did. It seems to be holding now. Thanks!

Update: It broke again after I restarted. Applied Feb patch and re-issued the key again :LOL:
