Can you recommend a Ford dealer within the Chicagoland area for servicing the Mach-E? My selling dealer is not great and causes more issues than they resolve.

I bought a 24 GT on Dec 7th, 2024. Since day one, FordPass showed an option under Connected Services to add a Performance Upgrade for $995, which is the reason why I bought the car to begin with. Today (30 days later), this option disappeared from my and my wife’s FordPass and online Ford...

I picked up a 2024 GT on Dec 7th with 20 miles on the odometer. It looked fine and even had all the stickers on the window. Within a few days, I started noticing a thump under the floor pan on the driver side when going over bumps. The vibration caused no noise, but I could feel something...

In November 2025 (August for Canadians), please preemptively go to your dealer and swap your 12-v batteries. And for the A students among us, it wouldn’t hurt for owners of 2023 Mach-Es to mark their calendars for November of 2026, and so on, so forth. Cause the definition of insanity is to do...

Only the tires are for sale, not the wheels. A set of 4 Continental CROSSCONTACT RX all-season tires 245/45R20 for sale for $400. Tires have around ~35 miles on them and currently stored for the winter season. Pick up within 50 miles of Chicago or get them shipped for an extra cost to any...

For those of you who leased Mach-es recently, can you please comment if your lease agreement has a buyout option? I’m at the dealer and they are telling me that this option is unavailable.

Chicago Sun Times Gail Wise bought the first Ford Mustang sold in the United States; 60 years later, she still owns it The Park Ridge woman bought the car in April 1964 to get to her job as a third grade teacher. In the spring of 1964, Gail Wise taught third grade at Sunnyside Elementary...

I’m not one who gets too concerned about SoH and battery deterioration as a general matter. However, I measured it a couple of times in the past and it hovered in the 94.5-95%. Last time to measure was around beginning of the year. However, today it dropped to 85.5%! My vehicle has 9,670 miles...

The scene in my neighborhood this morning makes you believe Rivians are everywhere. I took this pic and got tackled by a salesman who was pleasant, so I stopped for a quick conversation. Demand: He said that lead time on the R1S and R1T is now a couple of weeks. It is not surprising, given that...

Seen on Wednesday night at the local Tesla store in Chicago. They were closed at the time, but I’ll stop by today or tomorrow to take more pics. Quality of the class A surfaces look good. Gaps are consistent and seem pretty tight. It’s still a very polarizing design. I personally think it looks...

I would greatly appreciate advice from anyone who uses a multi-user level 2 EVSE at home or work that is not managed by ChargePoint. What service provider do you use and how has the experience been for you, and for the equipment owner? After a 2-year fight with the HOA, we finally got the board...

This summer, my wife and I planned to spend some time in Northern Michigan with our 2 tweens and our 6-month old mini schnauzer. We found a house on Airbnb in a heavily wooded area that has an EVSE. Then it dawned on us that while we’ve been talking about “circling the lake” for years (yes, it’s...

This pic should give you an idea.

I noticed for the first time that when in accessory mode, the vehicle displays the battery SoC more prominently than the range estimate (see pic). Is there a way to have that as the default display setting when the vehicle is on? Given the inherent inaccuracy of the range estimate, I find it...

After bragging about charging $10-15k ADM on stock units for the past 2+ years, my dealer sends me this message today: Subject: New Ford Models in Stock Today and Priced to Sell You’ve likely heard about the national new vehicle inventory shortages over the past several months. If you’ve been...

Bummed. After waiting for 10 long months, finally took delivery of a gorgeous Iced Blue Silver MME on July 16 with clear instructions to the dealer not to wash the car. Drove a dirty car for 2.5 weeks & 240 miles till I could get it scheduled for a frontend PPF install at a well-known, top...
