I got into a small accident a few months ago that did some damage to my front right (other car drifted into my lane on a curving road). The other guy’s insurance denied the claim, and I haven’t wanted to submit to my insurance for a worry of a rise in premium regardless of fault. The other...

I hope this isn’t old news at this point, I know @Jimrpa got his frunk button a few weeks ago on his 2021 Job 1, but it appeared in the FordPass for me this morning after setting up PaaK. I have a Job 1 2021 Mach-E SR AWD with a November 2020 build date. My car had been at the dealership for a...

I had my first accident today. Side swiped by someone who drifted into my lane on a sharp curve. My front right side connected with his left rear side. How bad is the damage? I’m most concerned with the light assembly, it looks a little scratched at the edge. Can that be polished? There is also...

Has anyone else had trouble getting the 4.2.5 update to install? I've tried both to manually do it and to let it update at its set time, but I am consistently getting a failure. FordPass tells me the update has failed to install seven times. I've done the normal stuff like plugging it in...

Technically a day late, but who’s keeping track? Happy second birthday to my Mach-E. Not quite 12,000 miles in, best car I’ve ever had. Very glad I pulled the trigger in February 2021 when I thought I might regret buying a new car while working from home full-time. Who remembers the...

I recently got what I think was update 4.1.2. Unfortunately, I think it somehow corrupted my navigation app as it is no longer working. When I try to launch the navigation app I get stuck on the loading screen and, after a couple of minutes, it times out and takes me back to whatever screen I...

Looks like the IRS recently updated their website and Ford has sold 188,596 EVs and plug-in hybrids in the US through the end of Q2 2022 (June 30, 2022). See IRS EV tax credit page. This means Ford will definitely keep the $7,500 tax credit through December 31, 2022, as was expected but not...

Can anyone tell me what this dried substance is on my headlight? I can’t get it off. It’s been there for a while. Numerous trips to the carwash have done nothing, a ceramic cleaner has done nothing. I tried scraping it with a fingernail and it sort of very slowly got the top portion a bit...

Bloomberg is reporting that Senator Manchin has agreed to expanding eligibility for the EV tax credit to manufacturers that have had it expire, i.e., Tesla and GM. Notably, this would mean the 2023 Mach-E would also get some form of the tax credit, but I think made in America EVs would get...

Ford Authority: Ford Mustang Mach-E Owner Becomes First Person To Give Birth In One Well, that's one way to prove the Mustang Mach-E has a spacious front passenger seat! Looks like the dealer threw them an event after the birth, hopefully also gave them a free detailing :p

I took my Mach-E in for the panoramic roof recall today. I knew I would likely have to fork over money for a new panoramic roof because mine got cracked recently and it didn’t seem like it could survive the recall work given how the crack had spread a few feet in a few days. The dealer confirmed...

Unfortunately this morning when I got in my Mach-E, turned it on, and was about to pull away, I heard a percussive pop. I looked up and I saw this crack. I walked out, and this is what I saw. Any chance this was spontaneous damage? Unfortunately, it looks like a rock strike or something...

I’ve never really used a heated steering wheel before on another vehicle. It’s really started to grow on me with the Mach-E, it’s actually pretty nice. I’ve had one concern though that I’m wondering if other people have experienced. The heated steering wheel starts off strong, but seems to get...

Exactly how cold does it need to be to make plugging in worthwhile, where the Mach-E draws on energy from the grid to protect the battery? In my part of Los Angeles, the coldest it ever gets is the high 30s on a few nights per year. Last night was just such a night so I decided to charge my...

UPDATE: One year later, Electrify America comes to this part of Orange County. Still no Superchargers in this zone. Not much change on the L2 charger front. See update post. Original Post: So I spent this past weekend on the Orange County coast in Southern California on a short family...

Has anyone else experienced a failure of their back-up start code? Not the Mach-E saying incorrect code, but the Mach-E not bringing up the screen to input the back-up start code? This has happened to me three times now, all in the last ten or so days. It used to never be an issue on the rare...

Is there an ideal temperature to plug in the Mach-E and start charging in terms of battery health/longevity? Can't really find good information outside extreme conditions on either the cold or hot side. I suppose it depends on how fast someone is charging at because the higher the charge rate...

Does anyone know if Motorcraft window washer fluid is the same window washer fluid the Mach-E is filled with before sale? If so, looks like the only way to get Motorcraft window washer fluid is through a dealership? It’s a minor thing, but I really like the way that the Mach-E’s window washer...

Saw the below Bloomberg Opinion piece the other day arguing that new car prices are about to rise significantly. Like most people know, cars often rise slightly in price between model years even without much change for the vehicle, I wonder if there will be a more significant increase for 2022...

I park my Mach- E outdoors and have noticed that the glass roof is a big time dust and pollen magnet, especially now during the springtime. I’d like to clean this off without washing the car and was thinking of using an air blower designed for drying to just blow it off. Thing is, my Mach- E...
