With the latest news over the $99/month Tesla FSD subscription, a thought popped in my head. Sorry @Ford Motor Company - as a loyal Ford owner for many many years I have to get this out of my head. Internet comments be damned. I posted this in the YouTube comment section at TFLEV @TFLtommy -...

The other morning pulling out of the garage new 25 Premium changed the tone of the parking sensor alert after 3 weeks of ownership. It was not a Ford tone at all, and I've owned a bunch. When I left work it changed back to the familiar Mach e tone like the 25 made since new and my 23 made the...

@Ford Motor Company Care to elaborate on your claims from yesterday's Winter Ready: Ford's Guide to Cold Weather Electric Vehicle Confidence published Nov 11, 2025? Your battery will warm up automatically within 20 miles of the charging stop. This is an OPTION and should be spelled out as...

My local DCFC is owned by Mid American Energy, a large utility in Iowa, US. They recently changed my favorite station from Shell to ChargeLab. I tried to sign up for an account only to receive word that Debit Cards cannot be used. "I'm sorry you're having challenges with updating your payment...

Is there a good CarPlay weather app? I searched the forum but cold weather driving overloaded my searching results. Thanks all!

Hour into my first real road trip and I see 136% SOC on the 12v battery. No faults or other messages. Was looking at hv battery temp and caught my eye. Didn’t check again until the first DCFC then displayed normal. THOUGHTS?

@Ford Motor Company Is preconditioning the battery a premium paid option? My car only preconditions the battery when using the Connected Built In Navigation which is $80 a year. It does not precondition using the Public Charging app in the car. If I don't renew my Connected Built In...

@Mach-Lee you appear to be the foremost authority in batteries and cold weather driving. I’ve used your experience to make my 17 mile commute warm and safe. I’ve also used a OSB2 unit to monitor coolant and battery temperate along with coolant heater usage. With that said… i thought part of...

@MachLee What have I done!!! I took your advice and started L2 charging the car at night in order to reduce the amount of energy needed to precondition the battery prior to my morning departure on these cold Iowa mornings. It worked and still works, but now there's a charger error on the app...

@Ford Motor Company Here is my wish list today: When I set a charging/preconditioning/max charge state/preferred schedule on my phone please save the changes THE FIRST TIME. I am continually having to recheck data after the changes do not save even though the app confirmed the change When I...

Folks enjoyed this post on Facebook so I thought I’d post it here too. Thoughts from a 60 year old guy.  Back in the 70s and 80s it took an incredible amount of effort to prepare my car for winter driving. Every time the car started the VAROOM created a feeling of accomplishment, and...

Hey, big nerd here. I charge my 23 sel std range at 20A with my Fisker-Wallbox charger. I set the charger at 20A on the 40A unit thinking it charges more efficiently, less power loss at 20A than 40A. I ran the numbers because I am a nerd. Anyways... In the past the battery preconditioned and...

@Ford Motor Company are you aware of the issue that in FordPass, Public Charging has two listings for each DCFC in my area? The first listing reports OUT OF NETWORK. One has to select that unavailable network to view the available network underneath. Photos below. Fordpass 5.9.0 IOS

About once a week my 2023.5 Select Standard Range starts up in Whisper or Engage driving mode. I drive in Unbridled This is unsafe IMO. After a week driving in a high regen mode it can be quite shocking when the vehicle rolls up to traffic at a higher than expect speed. On startup I can...

OOPS - Cannot access Connected Services settings on IOS or Web Pages (Phone and PC) A few days ago Ford sent me an email reminding me that BlueCruise expires Sept 1. Clicking on the link there was a years extension offer at $0 and 0 Ford Pass points. Signed up immediately! Ford said a...

Ford - The published fastest charge rate for the Mach e is optional, right? A Ford pay per use service? Shouldn't you advertise this as **optional? Your website -> 10% to 80% charge in ~36 minutes with DC Fast Charging I don't mind that it's optional or a pay for use service. My point is...

Why did my Mach e wake me up at 4:30 this morning and tell me the cabin is preconditioned. It’s supposed to be ready at 6:50. Oh well. Ford, I get the vehicle is a computer controlled vehicle, but come on! You would BANKRUPT me or my company if I installed a piece of equipment that works like...

Howdy! The last couple of days the Rear Liftgate new 2023 Select std range did not unlock when I pressed the button under the liftgate. Had to use the FOB to unlock it and was unable to recreate the event shortly afterwards. Happened again today leaving work to go get my personalized license...

Long time listener, first time caller. Hope I'm not Mr Obvious here Is it normal for Traffic Sign Recognition to turn off? Maybe after a OTA update? BOTH my 2023 ME and 2023 Escape are new from dealer. Put many hours in the wife's Escape and over 4 days in the ME. (plus 2.5 years in a...
