    Resetting Tire Pressure and Low Pressure Warning

    Iā€™ve never seen a PSI low warning window, so a picture would help. Is the one with a different color the lowest one?

    I think the OP has left the ranch . . .

    Range collapse

    Alister: I apologize for being a little bit snarky above. I believe you are conflating actual range results with estimated future range. Based on your original post, the description implies that when you use the word ā€œgettingā€, you are speaking of the number, indicated as ā€œrangeā€ on your...

    Range collapse

    In addition to operating temperature, there are other factors that will affect real range as well as estimated future range. Speed, terrain, wind, tyre pressure, interior accessory use, etc. If you have considered all of these without satisfaction, it may be comforting to know that YOU ARE NOT...

    Range collapse

    Mike makes a good point here. Most likely your battery is fine, and the temps are cold and you are not preconditioning while plugged in before you begin a short trip of 53 miles in cold temps. Your car is using significant on-board energy to warm the HV battery, which directly affects the range...

    This is correct, and was my experience.

    New 2024 draining overnight. Normal?

    I just learned something new. Who woulda thought it uses cellular? That explains something. I have great wifi in my garage but marginal ATT at our locations. Updates havenā€™t been as quick as I would have thought. Thank you.

    Alignment info

    Just thought I would add 2cents. My car is ā€˜21 prem RWD with no mods. I got my alignment done at an independent shop right after I put new tires on. I only use alignment shops that will allow me to collaborate in real time. I used Concord Auto Service. They were willing to work on it (first...

    New 2024 draining overnight. Normal?

    If it can never connect to wifi I think you will not get updates.

    Shipping a dead Mach-E

    It doesnā€™t seem to me 100 miles is a shipping job. Itā€™s a flatbed tow job. If it was me, Iā€™d rent a trailer and load it up and drive it there myself. That way Iā€™d know it was done right. You are obviously frustrated, and having to handle logistics yourself doesnā€™t help at all, but I think you...

    BlueCruise year end recap: how much did you drive hands-free?

    To the best of my recollection: 1/1/24-12/13/24=0% 1/1/23-12/31/23=0% 1/1/22-12/31/22=0.0006% I donā€™t think Iā€™ll ask Ford what their records show.

    No More Road Trips

    Absolutely! My road trips are usually right around 1000 miles in 15 hours each day. I just donā€™t have any desire to sit around anywhere when I have somewhere else I want to be. EVā€™s are fine under 300 miles with free charging at either end of the trip.

    Does anyone park their Mach E in their garage?

    When I configured our alarm system and had it installed years ago, I had hard wired smoke detectors installed in the living space, and heat detectors installed in the attic and garage. The one in the garage is mounted on the ceiling directly over the hood of the car (predates EVā€™s). The heat...

    Does anyone park their Mach E in their garage?

    Wow! I believe a more appropriate question would be does anyone park their ~$50,000 car outside?

    Range degeneration?

    I recommend this often to my recent adopter friends! I find I get more range out of EVGO fill-ups than either Supercharger or Electrify America fill-ups, and ChargePoint seems to have too many negative ions in their electricity. Alway stick with the top-tier providers. Your flux capacitors will...

    Range degeneration?

    (1) You did not ā€œhaveā€ a range of 160 when you left on your little frigid trip. The GOM was only indicating that you might experience a range of 160 miles based on your recent habits and at 25F or whatever the temp in your garage was, but then you messed up its estimate by (2) taking a very...

    Rusty tailgate struts

    My car doesnā€™t have this problem. And I understand wanting Ford to make it right. But if it did have this problem, Iā€™d be tempted to disassemble, brush, treat, paint, reassemble myself. I would spend less time than driving to the Ford dealership and back. And a whole lot less aggravating.

    The end of the federal EV tax credit?

    The thumb has been on the scale for years. It is time to remove the thumb, and let the market determine pricing and demand without tax credit market manipulation.
