This EV driver had metal road debris puncture the battery and start a fire. Bad day to be on the Mass Pike. The second article is about changes Tesla made to prevent a similar problem. My question - how would the Mach E fare in a similar situation...
After three years I finally took my first real road trip. Went to see the eclipse in Lake Placid. Total cost on the road = $10
Charged three times:
Adirondack Welcome Center - Free charge (took some time but we were in no hurry)
Best Western in Lake Placid - wasn't even a guest but if you pay...
I've had my MachE for two years and have known the whole time that I could buy an adapter to use a Tesla charger if I needed to. Isn't yesterday's announcement just Ford's way of advertising that you can do this? Not getting the hype.
I have had the max charge setting at home at 80%. I will now be going into work regularly where I can charge for free. So I lowered the home max charge to 60%. I have tried multiple times only for it to reset itself back to 80%. Any words of wisdom how to get the setting to stick?
For the last two days I have no audio volume. No android auto volume, no radio volume... When I turn the volume either by knob or on steering wheel nothing happens - the volume level doesn't appear on the screen. I have asked Ford for help, but wondering if anyone else has experienced this...
I got pulled over yesterday for turning left onto a street that had a no left turn sign. He was nice enough and told me they were just letting folks know about the "no left turn sign" and, oh, nice car by the way, haven't seen one of these before. So the real question is did I get pulled...
Got a nice email from Ford on June 7th saying as a Ford Pass Member I get free pickup and delivery for service. She's got to go in for a tire rotation and whatever software updates are needed. I needed to change the date cause I couldn't make the original appointment and asked if I could just...
Went in to work today for first time post-COVID. Used the free charging. It charged to 100%. (Not complaining ?). But I thought I had my charging set to 80%. Went out to check - yep, home charging set to 80%. Oh, you set charging max based on where you're charging. Did not know that was a...
Around Christmas I upgraded to a Pixel 6. Before that I used Ford Navigation as my GPS. With the new phone I use Google Maps via Android Auto. Today I couldn't get Android Auto to work (separate issue) figured I'd just use Ford Navigation instead. When I choose it nothing happens - little...
Anyone else notice that after being out for a drive in the rain there ends up being a lot of water on the garage floor? My husband says it's like in the winter when you come in with snow pack on the car that then makes a mess when it melts. Kind of weird. Is it just me?
Unfortunately I can't go, but for those that might be in the area.

I think the final count for Mustang night at Mark's Classic Cruise on Monday night in E Granby CT was 416 Mustang's. Only one Mach E. Mine! Every single person that walked by stopped to ask questions. I think I talked for over 2 hours straight! There were maybe two people grumbling that...
Came back from Boston yesterday and traffic was worse than usual on the Mass Pike due to impending doom (aka Hurricane Henri). Traffic was stop & go for about 15 miles. It was relatively hot (85F) and very humid. I was watching the external temperature on the screen creep up. It got up to...
