No question that if the ADAS doesn’t stop for stationary vehicles at speeds over 65mph, that should be in the user manual. It should be in more than the user manual. The driver should be notified once they get over that speed that it won’t stop. I understand the issues with the algorithm, and I...

The Mach-E GT is not a competitor to the Model 3. It is larger, and much more like the Model Y. It’s actually also 500 lbs heavier than the Model Y, nevermind the Model 3. It’s 890 lbs heavier than the Model 3. That the GT with performance still feels somewhat quicker than the regular Model 3 LR...

I sold a dual motor LR ‘24 Model 3 (Highland), and got the ‘24 GT with Performance, and my GT is significantly faster off the line, and maintains that well into any speed I’d drive at. Do you have the performance package on your ‘24?

I find the acceleration is indeed the same at full throttle. But the steering weight and suspension are vastly different between the 3 modes. My favorite suspension setting with Magneride on my ‘24 GT w/Performance, is Engage, but I find the steering too light. The steering on unbridaled is...

Yeah, you’re right. The risk of wires melting or worse is not worth it. I think I’m going to get a Crutchfield CK10 to connect to the main battery. It has a fuse built in, and it’s easy to remove quickly.

The car is pre wired for a sub, and has a so called sub. But it’s just a 6x9 regular speaker. So that’s why its bass is so terrible. The live wire is the wire that goes into the 12V lighter socket in the trunk.

I don’t know why. I read about using the 12V. It’s not an issue for this size sub based on my research. One thing I did just in case, was used Forscan to change the time that all power outlets and USB ports stay powered on after you turn the car off, from 15 minutes to 1 minute. I did that just...

[UPDATED] Based on feedback from several folks on this thread, I’m going to power the sub from the primary battery to avoid risk of the thinner wires leading to the 12V socket in the trunk, from melting, or worse yet, causing a fire. Thank you for your input![/UPDATE] Hi Folks, I know there...

I wasn't offended by what you said in any way. I was just lamenting it. No worries.

I guess he’s going back to his Canadian roots with the model lineup now just saying “Ey.” Many of us who grew up in Pretoria cringe at him being called anything of Pretoria, and I doubt anyone these really thinks of him in a particularly special way, at least based on my visits there every few...

True, AI is great for 1) the people who own the servers it runs on. 2) wrecking our goal of reducing CO2 emissions. But, it’s actually really useful for three things: 1) Long road trips - e.g. "I’m taking my Mach-E from Chicago to Nashville. I have the Extended Range battery and want to stop at...

I’ve had similar issues with my iPhone. I’ve resolved them each time by going into the iPhone’s Settings/General/CarPlay, and removing the Mach-E from the CarPlay list. Then I reconnected in the Mach-E, and it worked again. It added the Mach-E back to CarPlay vehicles in Settings and also...

Yeah, ‘24 GT. Not here either. I really want this feature. Will contact my Ford dealer to ask why ‘24s don’t have it. I don’t expect anything to come of that…

I pay the connectivity fee for traffic using built in nav, for BlueCruise 4 to work and since I use the car’s AT@T hotspot because I often work from my car (while parked), or take calls in which I only have to listen in, and the car’s hotspot uses an antenna that is far stronger than the one on...
