  1. 2 Fatal MME BlueCruise Crashes / Distracted Drivers

    No question that if the ADAS doesn’t stop for stationary vehicles at speeds over 65mph, that should be in the user manual. It should be in more than the user manual. The driver should be notified once they get over that speed that it won’t stop. I understand the issues with the algorithm, and I...
  2. Acceleration of whisper vs unbridled on GTPE

    The Mach-E GT is not a competitor to the Model 3. It is larger, and much more like the Model Y. It’s actually also 500 lbs heavier than the Model Y, nevermind the Model 3. It’s 890 lbs heavier than the Model 3. That the GT with performance still feels somewhat quicker than the regular Model 3 LR...
  3. Acceleration of whisper vs unbridled on GTPE

    I sold a dual motor LR ā€˜24 Model 3 (Highland), and got the ā€˜24 GT with Performance, and my GT is significantly faster off the line, and maintains that well into any speed I’d drive at. Do you have the performance package on your ā€˜24?
  4. Acceleration of whisper vs unbridled on GTPE

    I find the acceleration is indeed the same at full throttle. But the steering weight and suspension are vastly different between the 3 modes. My favorite suspension setting with Magneride on my ā€˜24 GT w/Performance, is Engage, but I find the steering too light. The steering on unbridaled is...
  5. Sub install for B&O on leased 2024 Mach-E GT

    Yeah, you’re right. The risk of wires melting or worse is not worth it. I think I’m going to get a Crutchfield CK10 to connect to the main battery. It has a fuse built in, and it’s easy to remove quickly.
  6. Sub install for B&O on leased 2024 Mach-E GT

    The car is pre wired for a sub, and has a so called sub. But it’s just a 6x9 regular speaker. So that’s why its bass is so terrible. The live wire is the wire that goes into the 12V lighter socket in the trunk.
  7. Sub install for B&O on leased 2024 Mach-E GT

    I don’t know why. I read about using the 12V. It’s not an issue for this size sub based on my research. One thing I did just in case, was used Forscan to change the time that all power outlets and USB ports stay powered on after you turn the car off, from 15 minutes to 1 minute. I did that just...
  8. Sub install for B&O on leased 2024 Mach-E GT

    [UPDATED] Based on feedback from several folks on this thread, I’m going to power the sub from the primary battery to avoid risk of the thinner wires leading to the 12V socket in the trunk, from melting, or worse yet, causing a fire. Thank you for your input![/UPDATE] Hi Folks, I know there...
  9. Tesla Model S & X cancelled [āš ļø ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    I wasn't offended by what you said in any way. I was just lamenting it. No worries.
  10. Tesla Model S & X cancelled [āš ļø ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    I guess he’s going back to his Canadian roots with the model lineup now just saying ā€œEy.ā€ Many of us who grew up in Pretoria cringe at him being called anything of Pretoria, and I doubt anyone these really thinks of him in a particularly special way, at least based on my visits there every few...
  11. AI is great for....

    True, AI is great for 1) the people who own the servers it runs on. 2) wrecking our goal of reducing CO2 emissions. But, it’s actually really useful for three things: 1) Long road trips - e.g. "I’m taking my Mach-E from Chicago to Nashville. I have the Extended Range battery and want to stop at...
  12. CarPlay Drops Out

    I’ve had similar issues with my iPhone. I’ve resolved them each time by going into the iPhone’s Settings/General/CarPlay, and removing the Mach-E from the CarPlay list. Then I reconnected in the Mach-E, and it worked again. It added the Mach-E back to CarPlay vehicles in Settings and also...
  13. Ford app - Climate adjustment, who don't have it yet ?

    Yeah, ā€˜24 GT. Not here either. I really want this feature. Will contact my Ford dealer to ask why ā€˜24s don’t have it. I don’t expect anything to come of that…
  14. Alexa+ Integration?

    I pay the connectivity fee for traffic using built in nav, for BlueCruise 4 to work and since I use the car’s AT@T hotspot because I often work from my car (while parked), or take calls in which I only have to listen in, and the car’s hotspot uses an antenna that is far stronger than the one on...
  15. Who knew? EVs Need A Wheel Alignment Every Year

    No question that stating this is a standard thing for EVs is BS. As others have said, if you hit a curb or a large pothole, or notice the typical symptoms associated with poor wheel alignment, I.e. vehicle pulling to one side, crooked or off-center steering wheel, or uneven tire wear, it’s worth...
  16. Farley: Ford EVs shockingly behind Tesla & China, but Ford can't afford to "walk away from EVs."

    I can’t seem to get quotes working… so, in response to @bbulkow’s statement: ā€œThis "tesla just works" was so not my experience. I had long term loan of a friend's tesla before I went EV, and it was actually after dropping them at the airport that it took an update that caused the "phantom...
  17. Farley: Ford EVs shockingly behind Tesla & China, but Ford can't afford to "walk away from EVs."

    Stats from Consumer Reports have the 2023 Mustang Mach-E so significantly improved from previous years, that despite how shockingly behind the MME is, and the 150km or whatever the number was of more wiring in the MME, it beat the 2023 Model Y in reliability t the point where it moved into their...
  18. Phone as key, who does it best?

    I purposely fold my mirrors in prior to driving into my garage. So, when I approach my car, the puddle light and the Mustang logo light up, along with the lighting around the door open button. the mirrors don’t unfold (because I manually fold them before driving forward into my garage, and they...
  19. Phone as key, who does it best?

    I haven’t had issues with my PaaK on my ā€˜24. In fact it works a bit too well. I park my Mach-E in our garage, and when I walk inside the house past the door from the garage to the house, my car gets unlocked. Our Kia EV9 is as good as Tesla. Previous gen EV6 was not, but entirely likely. Wrt...
