  2. PUTNAM FORD, San Mateo, CA - AVOID IT LIKE THE PLAGUE (more contagious than COVID)

    With the current sales model that Ford has - can't they revoke the dealership franchise from dishonest dealers like this?
  3. Traded Tesla Model Y for Mach-E GTP - a Comparison

    I had to get used to the infotainment as well. From phone apps, you are trained to push the menu button in the upper right corner, but those are the car settings. I kept ignoring the most important button top center for a long time and tried to access all apps somehow by scrolling left and right...
  4. My Mach-E Was Stolen

    @PCS2021 The Air Tags are a good idea. However, ever since it became more popular among thieves to track cars they want to steal, Apple added a notification for "other" air tags following you. This was intended to protect you from being tracked. So, if a thief takes your car and has an iPhone...
  5. Would you pay for BlueCruise?

    I loved it driving from SoCal to NorCal and back. On the way north it was even hands free over the mountains to Grapevine. And the entire stretch up the I5 it was handsfree as well. On the way back it was mostly the same except over the mountains. I have done that drive a bunch of times and this...
  6. Can't deal with the bouncy ride anymore after two weeks with the Mach-E. What do I do?

    I have had no complaints about the car being bouncy until yesterday. Driving the 91 East in the area of Riverside. The road is concrete and has a ripple in it that repeats every 10 yards or so. Traffic was slow and at one point I guess I hit the perfect speed for the car to ride the bounces like...
  7. Retaining License Plate

    There is a retention procedure if the plates are not attached to a car for a while. I posted the links above. Happy to say, I got them back now registered to the Mach-E. I had a trainee at the DMV who did not know how to do it, so I was smiling and being patient.
  8. For everyone saying the Mach E recalls are ridiculous...

    https://www.thestreet.com/investing/toyota-has-more-bad-news-for-vehicle-owners Toyota is doing recalls to fix quality too - apparently a lot of them - but damn, the quick engineering to many recalls hurts brand image. I wonder if VW will get hit by it's fair share of those recalls too this...
  9. 1,000 mile round (first) trip report - Orange County, CA to Butte County, CA

    I got my car only a month ago and have not looked into updates, but anyways, once I reached 80% fast charging stopped and charging the last 20% would take 2 hours.
  10. 1,000 mile round (first) trip report - Orange County, CA to Butte County, CA

    That's where I was. We drove the 70 into mountains. They planted there at Memorial Day, but I guess it was fished empty that same weekend. Beautiful area though, was relaxing.
  11. 1,000 mile round (first) trip report - Orange County, CA to Butte County, CA

    The channel switching just came up because I got bored and switching through the channels like on a TV "nope next", "nope next", "nope next".... was just missing for me. Even saying a command would not be that much better IMO, but I will try next time. Btw is there a web page where you can...
  12. 1,000 mile round (first) trip report - Orange County, CA to Butte County, CA

    One more thing I discovered after the car wash: 3 chips. One on the hood that is so deep you can see bare metal. That is disappointing I didn’t have chips this deep on my BMW after 60,000 miles. Got to look for a touch up pen to put a tiny speckle of paint in there.
  13. 1,000 mile round (first) trip report - Orange County, CA to Butte County, CA

    Can you have the Ford Pass and EA login at the same time? I downloaded the app but did not create a login yet as I did not want to mess up my current setup before starting the trip. I will look it up. I used the free charging I got with the car until my last two charges on this trip. So, the...
  14. 1,000 mile round (first) trip report - Orange County, CA to Butte County, CA

    I got an extended range AWD. I am not sure exactly how to check the peak charging rate, but according to the charging logs. The longest charge was at the Walmart where I ended up below 10%. I charged 81% and added a distance of 184 miles in 44 minutes. Another 60% charge to 80% took 36 minutes...
  15. 1,000 mile round (first) trip report - Orange County, CA to Butte County, CA

    This was my first road trip in the car and I had only tried charging it once before at a Electrify America station to figure out how that works. The car had still less then 400 miles and not being sure about when and where to charge, I was a bit worried - something you would never think about...
  16. GPS quit on me

    Should have thought of “turning it off and on again” I did that on my next stop and that worked. Thanks
  17. GPS quit on me

    I’m driving from north California to south California and in Sacramento the navigation thought for the first time that I was next to the I5 and wanted me to take random roads to get back on. After my next charging stop the navigation has the car next to the i5 and apparently I’m driving cross...
  18. RAPID RED METALLIC Mach-E Photos

    This red "changes color" as lot depending on lighting. It is a bit sad when totally cloudy but a sparkle of light really brings that car to shine. RR was a good choice with a lot of car washing in the future lol I cannot wash mine for another week because the ceramic coating still needs to cure.
  19. Mach-E vs Mach-E

    Gotta be the first one to veto and say that red just didn't catch the sunlight right! Edit: And the park spot line violation was to establish dominance ;)
  20. FordPass Charge Settings - charges outside preferred charge times

    I checked that and that’s selected I’ll try tomorrow again to plug it in at 5pm and see what happens. Its confusing though. Right now I’m only on the 110V charger so there’s no “damage”
