  1. The Update Floodgates are open

    Of these, on my '24 GT, I've only gotten Priority Update - Driver Facing Camera, and a mobile tech had to install Priority Update - Vehicle Door. I haven't yet gotten any of the rest. Would love to get an Audio System update, but maybe the update you got was already included in the '24 model.
  2. 2026 Mustang Mach-E GT California Special Introduced

    Let’s hope this paragraph means they’re adding ventilation to the front seats, and a NACS port at a minimum: What other changes are there for the MY26 lineup? We will be sharing more about the 2026 Mustang Mach-E lineup later this week.
  3. What Big Updates Do You See Coming this Week?

    Some kind of update schedule that adds features without breaking older models, aka something between Tesla and well, nothing basically, would be nice. I for one would really like both manual battery pre-conditioning, and remembering your choice of the oddly named ā€œLā€ setting in the gear shifter...
  4. Lane Centering Pulls To Right

    I haven’t had this in my ā€˜24 Mach-E, but had the opposite, pulling to the left, in our other car, the Kia EV9. I took that into the dealer. Although it was also not always happening, luckily they were able to reproduce it. They then recalibrated a few cameras, etc, and tested it again. They...
  5. Tesla 2025 Y dual motor test drive

    @bibkisbu - ok. I’m not going to continue arguing about this. If you’re such a Tesla fan boy, get one. I had one, I didn’t like aspects of it, and got the Mach-E instead and am happy with my decision. After you come 1 second away from an accident due to FSD, you don’t say, oh well, I’ll wait for...
  6. Tesla 2025 Y dual motor test drive

    I’m well aware of what Tesla is doing. But it is doing it with its drivers as the beta testers, and as I mentioned, I’ve personally experienced at least 2 cases with FSD v13, hardware 4, where had I not intervened AND in the case of the school bus, the bus driver had not slammed on brakes, the...
  7. Tesla 2025 Y dual motor test drive

    Caveat - I had FSD 13. 14 came out after I had traded the Model 3 in for On highways under notmal circumstances, FSD is better. But in exceptions, it makes potentially deadly mistakes just like the in city driving does, which Bluecruise doesn’t, because Bluecruise is not dependent solely on...
  8. Tesla 2025 Y dual motor test drive

    Former owner of 2020 Model Y, and 2024 (Highland) Model 3. Aside from my not getting a Tesla again as long as Elon is in charge, you’re right that FSD is better, but I don’t need or want a car to drive me everywhere, only on highways, and Bluecruise on highways is better than standalone...
  9. GT test drive. My impressions

    The Unbridled Extend is definitely the culprit here. Try it again, but don’t select unbridled extend. Just use regular unbridled. Also, no question the Performance package adds a lot of performance. Feels like a different car. WRT the handling in corners, that is absolutely because of magneride...
  10. Apple Maps Preconditioning

    thanks. I wasn’t aware of that. Pretty pathetic. I guess I won’t be holding my breath for the EV9 support any time soon. ABRP…
  11. Apple Maps Preconditioning

    ā€œPlease share your feedback with Apple: https://www.apple.com/feedback/ā€œ done. Thanks.
  12. Apple Maps Preconditioning

    Would it make sense for us to start a Twitter campaign tweeting to Ford’s official account about adding a manual preconditioning option? This is something they ought to be able to implement through an OTA update for all model years. It’s a ridiculous omission. Thoughts?
  13. Apple Maps Preconditioning

    Because I have a cheap Android phone too for this very reason, and it works perfectly. It also works perfectly on our other EV, the Kia EV9, which Apple Maps has yet to even recognize as an EV in CarPlay, and the EV9 has a manual preconditioning option. The issue with the cheap Android phone is...
  14. Apple CarPlay - Home-screen Size?

    Thanks folks. I’ve got iOS 26 dev beta 4, which recently upgraded to public beta 1, and I love the way CarPlay operates now after you select to optimize for your display settings. It’s like what @markboris shows above. @JoeyD, you can customize the app icons on your iPhone, and if you do that...
  15. 2021 Lease up. Buy it out and drive til dead or turn it in

    If I understand you correctly, KBB trade in is $5k less than what you'd have to pay Ford to buy the car out. But KBB is a trade in price. So, retail on an equivalent car is likely easily $5k more than the KBB trade in. Given that you know this car, have had major issues fixed, etc., and are in...
  16. Comparison: Ford Copilot vs Tesla Autopilot

    It really depends on 2 factors. Was the Tesla you were driving one with Hardware 4, where the cameras are far better? Meaning either the new Model 3 Highland (2024+), or the new Model Y Juniper (2025)? If so, it is better. But in reality, Tesla cheats folks with Autopilot into getting FSD. They...
  17. What I miss the most about my Mach-e

    Is this in CarPlay or Android Auto, or am I missing some kind of other Google Maps app or integration with the Mach-E’s navigation? I have a 2024, and haven’t seen this.
  18. Carmax Offer

    Carmax, unlike dealers, is only in the business of buying used cars and selling them. So the profit margin they have to make is higher than any Ford dealer’s required profit margin. But at the end of the day, all EVs have tanked in value. I will only lease them moving forward - that’s also where...
  19. Audiophiles - What is the Best Sound Settings for Music?

    I got this recommendation from a member of one of the Mach-E groups on FB, and for most people, I think these settings are a great place to start. Changing the audio settings to this made a massive difference to the sound quality in my car. Move BEO to the right. Move the fader 2 to 3 spots...
  20. Upgrade GT for $995, Rally included?

    I got the same email, and I have a ā€˜24 GT which already has the performance package. It’s not isolated to Rally. They’re sending it to everyone who has a GT, regardless of whether it includes the PP or not. Sort of reminds me of the oil change reminders.
