Ford removed the door presenters (in, I believe MY24?). I was just watching EE review the Cadillac Celestiq and he brought up an interesting point. The vehicle has electric door opener buttons like our Mustang Mach Es, and he pointed out that one of the benefits of the door presenters is that...
I havenāt had easy access to my home charger for the past few days, so I took my car to the EVgo charger nearby. 47.886 KWh cost $30.94. I know electricity is stupidly expensive in the Philadelphia area, but this seems a bit ⦠excessive? Does this sound reasonable? Note that I am not a āmemberā...
Why no love for Telos? Right now, the Slate seems to be the darling of the moment that all the bloggers (and the āAdministratorā) are fawning over. The Telos seems really interesting and innovative.
I just had the 40,000 mi service done last Wednesday. Today, when I was driving around, I noticed a faint ābarkingā sound. It sounded like it was off in the distance, so I disregarded it. I then heard it again later. It literally sounds like a dog going āarf ā one time when it occurs. Iāve...
Today, I stopped by my Ford dealer for state inspection and, while there, asked if they had gotten any 2025 Mustang Mach Es in yet. They JUST received their first one - a Select. I asked if I could see the frunk.
As has been reported, the frunk is significantly smaller. The traditional frunk is...
For some reason, Iāve had it in my mind for the past few years to drive to St. Johnās, NL and Iāve decided to drive up there at the end of June. Iāll be starting in the Philadelphia area. ChatGPT has offered a couple of suggestions of things to see and do en-route, but Iām hoping that some real...
Has anyone heard anything further about Fordās T3 (āTrust The Truckā) next generation EV? I thought it was supposed to launch in 2026. By now, there should be some chatter, and some careful āspillsā of heavily camouflaged mules in the press. But I havenāt seen anything.
On a related topic, is...
Supposedly, Ford is going to abandon their keyless entry system (because owners asked them to or some such lame excuse). Anyway, without a way to enter the vehicle without a fob or phone, what good will the PIN be that can currently be used to start and drive the vehicle?
Admins, please move if appropriate but I did see other discussions of RATGDO in this sub.
Iām looking for anyone who might be able to help me diagnose problems with RATGDO or point me in the right place. I posted the below to the RATGDO sub on Reddit a few days ago, and did not get a response...
Sometimes, the public charging app has what appears to be part of a URL instead of a title on its tile. The visible string reads āwww.hmpc.fordā¦ā of course, Iāve tried entering the obvious URL into safari and it just yells at me that the connection is not secure.
any ideas if thereās a real URL...
So, I just noticed this small ātearā in my driverās seat upholstery. Note that it doesnāt seem to go all the way through - it just seems to be in the topmost layer of material. Any suggestions on how to deal with it?
So, Iāve just noticed the following behavior on my vehicle: I remote start the climate control (and it does come on). A couple of minutes later, Iāll open the frunk via FordPass. When I remote open the frunk, the climate control turns off. This can be annoying if you remote start climate...
While Ford is busy taking away our frunk, door presenters, camera washers, parking assist systems, acoustic glass, and even our metal door sill plates, other companies are offering cutting edge technology like 3D HUDs ?
Please move this post if this isnāt the right place for this subject.
On Saturday, I took my car to the automatic car wash (sacrilege, I know, but it is COLD outside!)
While the machine was doing its thing, I got a charge port ajar error. When I left the car wash, sure enough the charge port...
I needed a few electrons for a bit of a trip this evening, so I figured Iād use the GM DCFC at Wawa (also, sadly, all of the Tesla chargers were occupied). After 15 minutes and a peek charging speed of 953 watts (yes, you read that correctly, the fasted speed the charger displayed during the...
Last night I was driving home from dinner. I had 3 adult passengers in the car. One was in the front passenger seat, and the other two were in the two rear outboard seats. All had their belts fastened during the drive. I stopped and let everyone out of the car. They unbuckled (seat belts all...
There are numerous threads along the lines of āwhat features do you wish the Mustang Mach-E hadā.
This one is the inverse. What current (and this includes features that have been decontented over the years such as metal scuff plates, door presenters, large frunk and so on) that, if Ford...
