    I also ordered October 1st and just received an email mine won’t be here until November. No explanation besides unexpected shipping delays.

    Thanks. I actually bought a gt off a lot in December so I’m not stressed.

    Weird question I got yesterday

    I’ve had plenty of positive reactions and only one negative (“not a mustang” shouted at me in a parking lot). Over all I feel like I’m getting less reactions now than I did 6 months ago.

    Safety Recall 22S41 - 2021-2022 Mach E - HVBJB Recall [high voltage battery main contactors may overheat]

    Huh. Interesting. I charge my car to 80% usually. I only do above if I’m planning a road trip. Maybe that’s why I don’t get many otas?

    So….. 100 miles from home…. How screwed am I?

    I thought I'd be fine since it was a 15-20 minute drive from my home (depending on traffic), no highways, typical suburban streets, and I rarely fast charge or floor the car. (How did ford phrase it? Multiple Wide open throttle events? Lol) I think it was the heat that did my car in, though...

    So….. 100 miles from home…. How screwed am I?

    When my car bricked itself because of the HVBJB (pre software update), I was parked, but I was in a deserted strip mall. There weren't any open businesses within a 5-10 minute walk of me according to Google maps. I waited 2 hours in 100 degree heat for a tow. Luckily I had water and there was...

    Just got hit with stop safely now

    Reunited with Kestrel and it feels so good!!! Beyond excited to have my car back. When I picked it up my service advisor asked if I review cars on social media or anything like that, and I said “no, I don’t. Why do you ask?” He said that they got a call from Ford engineering and that’s only...

    Stop Safely Now (HVBJB): Mach-E Owners Biggest Fear - Facts and Info Thread

    Maybe not yet but soon! I have a friend who basically gets ota updates to a chip in her brain. She’s literally a cyborg. (It’s an anti-seizure medical device that reads the electric activity in her brain and zaps it if it detects activity that could lead to a seizure, ideally preventing it. It...

    Stop Safely Now (HVBJB): Mach-E Owners Biggest Fear - Facts and Info Thread

    Maybe it’s kind of like the car version of a heart murmur. Most of the time it’s fine. Some people with heart murmurs can compete in marathons. But sometimes it can cause big problems. (Note I am not a doctor or an engineer or a mechanic.)

    Stop Safely Now (HVBJB): Mach-E Owners Biggest Fear - Facts and Info Thread

    My dealership is confused that the part number of the HVBJB they’ve located doesn’t match their database. I’m not having a great experience with the BEV customer service at ford corporate either. Just got off the phone with them and they couldn’t give me a straight answer either (didn’t help...

    LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER HVJB FAILURE 2021 GTPE 10K MILES🤦‍♂️

    I find I’m able to accelerate plenty fast enough to feel that g-force and hit the speed limit (wink wink) with a firm but no where close to flooring pressure when I’m in unbridled. Same with passing on the freeway. Ironically I had plans to take my car to the test and tune day once my local drag...

    LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER HVJB FAILURE 2021 GTPE 10K MILES🤦‍♂️

    I also am dealing with a HVBJB failure, fast charged just a handful of times (and only once in the last few months) and floored the car exactly 0 times. The only risk factor I had was having a GT.

    What features / items would you pay monthly fee for?

    When I was in high school in the 1990s a friend had a car that didn’t have a radio. Literally no radio, not just a radio that was broken. (It also only had one side mirror.) She had a cheap boom box she used to play music. I can’t imagine buying a car that wouldn’t allow me to my tunes without...

    I’m happy things are moving so quickly for you but my dealership has been saying since Friday am that the HVBJB is out of stock. Do you know where your dealership obtained one from?
