  1. ‘Estimated’ vs actual delivered date

    For those in the northeast who have their MMEs, how did your ā€˜estimated’ delivery date differ from the actual date your car arrived at your dealer? Tuesday, Nov. 16 will mark 4 weeks since my car shipped. It arrived in KC on 11/1, but since then, I don’t have access to tracking.
  2. Central MA > NYC

    My RWD extended range premium is due within a few weeks, and Im planning a road trip to Manhattan in mid-December. My plan is to drive down and park it for the weekend, since we don’t plan to drive during our weekend stay, then stop for a charge on the way home. I’ve looked at both ABRP and...
  3. Dimensions for new GT-style vinyl grille

    I've been in contact with StrucknDesign.com, and they've agreed to add my GT grille design (as pictured in the photo mockup) to their many styles! However, since I don't yet have my Mach-E (it just arrived in KC 11/1), I need the dimensions that I've outlined in the smaller image included here...
  4. CloudFlare blocking this forum

    I use Safari on my iPhone, and until today, never had an issue accessing macheforum.com But today, CloudFlare redirects, says to wait 5 seconds, and then hangs, never loading the forum, making it inaccessible via Safari. Perhaps the site admins should look into this, as most ISPs issue...
  5. Ford Options Status after 11/4/21

    If I recall correctly, the terms for Ford Options were extended in early October to run through between November 1-4. Since my premium is due to arrive during November (but after the 4th), does anyone know when/if the terms for Ford Options might be extended? (I'm specifically concerned with...
  6. A better GT-style grille design? (for those who like 'em)

    I've seen the grille wraps from a couple of vendors that attempt to simulate the GT grille, but I've not been impressed enough to order one. As a designer, I made a few failed attempts to re-create the look, using GT photos as reference. But I kept trying, and I think I've arrived at a design...
  7. Mexico to MA

    Built 10/15, shipped 10/19, estimated delivery to dealer: 11/21 - 11/27. For those in MA who have already received their MMEs, do your actual transit times align with those estimated for mine? Quicker? Slower?
  8. Scary dealer markup story (Bronco, not MME)

    This was a reservation/order for a Bronco, rather than an MME, but I still can't believe what I just read. This is scary—and Halloween isn't even here yet! https://jalopnik.com/a-bronco-reservation-holder-tried-to-go-up-against-a-fo-1847904601
  9. Production date > shipped

    Even if you haven't yet taken delivery, how long did you wait from your production week date to 'shipped'? Today is my Scheduled for Production Build week, so I'm just trying to get a rough idea. Other than those who received the dreaded 6-week delay emails, are they shipping more quickly nowadays?
  10. X-Plan at my dealer?

    Has anyone successfully received X-Plan pricing from either Herb Chambers Ford of Braintree, or Herb Chambers Ford of Westborough? I have my PIN, but unfortunately did not secure X-Plan pricing prior to placing my order, so hoping I can get it retroactively. My MME is scheduled for production...
  11. Dealers getting in the way

    As has been discussed here... https://jalopnik.com/ford-wants-to-compete-with-tesla-but-its-dealers-are-g-1847694720
  12. Guesstimating MA delivery

    Of course this may end up being pie-in-the-sky due to chips, but I'm curious as to what timing I might experience if there aren't any delay added. I ordered from Herb Chambers Ford here in MA on 4/27, and have a build date of 10/11/21. Assuming it's built by the end of that week (11/15), how...
  13. News for MA National Grid customers

    After sending an inquiry as to why National Grid didn’t offer any incentives for residential EV owners, I received this reply: Thank you for your interest in electric vehicle programs aimed at reducing drivers’ electric vehicle costs and increasing the efficiency and reliability of the power...
  14. 'Chrome' vinyl grille concept (Photoshop)

    Years ago, chrome was a major design element in cars. But today I noticed a new Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid SUV on the road that was sporting quite an ostentatious chrome grille. Perhaps chrome is making a comeback? This got me to thinking: What would a vinyl wrapped 'chrome' grille look like on an...
  15. 2022 Mach-E Range Increase (hardware)

    The 2022 MME will get a range increase due to weight savings and other modifications. However, OTAs are also said to include at least some increase in range for 2021 MMEs. https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1133335_2022-ford-mach-e-will-get-a-range-boost-confirms-chief-engineer

  17. Why a 12V battery? Here's why.

    It gets pretty deep in the weeds in explaining the technical details, but the simple answer is the need to disconnect high voltage, combined with the desire to use existing parts. https://jalopnik.com/why-electric-cars-still-use-ordinary-12-volt-batteries-1847209291
  18. Right to repair any different with MME?

    Hoping right-to-repair gains momentum, as this story illustrates what can happen. It's unclear as to whether or not the same plight might occur with similar damage to an MME. https://www.thedrive.com/news/41493/teslas-16000-quote-for-a-700-fix-is-why-right-to-repair-matters?utm_source=digg
  19. X-Plan pricing at Herb Chambers?

    I placed my order with Herb Chambers Ford, Westborough, MA 9 weeks ago (4/27), but hoping that I can get in on X-Plan pricing after-the-fact. Has anyone had success at either their Braintree or Westborough Ford dealerships?

    What do you do when your Rapid Red isn't due to arrive until October? Pass the time by creating Photoshop renderings. Here's an MME with 1970 Mustang Boss-inspired stripes and vinyl grille.
