  1. Travel stop charging -not!

    We stopped to check out the brand-slap new Love's Travel Stop near us, and were surprised that they have no EV charging facilities. At a travel stop? I know Love's is primarily a truck stop, but this one includes a restaurant, so would you not think it would have been wise to include EV...
  2. All-electric households?

    The other day, my wife mentioned that she was glad we bought a 2021 F-150 PowerBoost instead of trying to get a Lightning, because when we get our MME, having a Lightning would make us all-electric, which she considers risky. We are Midwest dwellers, in a rural area, with scarce charging...
  3. Thread for people who ordered a 2022 on 10/1 to post adventures

    If you ordered a 2022 MME on October 1st, the first day orders were open, share your adventures and milestones as we prepress toward actually getting our cars. It will be interesting to see who gets scheduled first and how we fit into the order queue with all the converted 2021 orders. So far...
  4. If I wrote the specs for Ford future order tracking system

    So if I were writing the specs for the future Ford order tracking system, it would include: Customer-selected tracking level and frequency. You would be able to specify how precisely your car would be tracked, and how frequently you would be sent updates. Customer-specified method of...
  5. Any leaks on 2022 changes?

    Other than the fuzzy promise of 'more range' from the Munro interview of the chief engineer, what's out there about 2022 changes? Price same?
  6. 2022 Order Guide when?

    Anyone know when the 2022 Order Guide will be released? Before the orders open in the 27th, I hope.
  7. Would a '22 be a better deal?

    Our MME was scheduled to be built last week, but based on the news-to-us revelations of the e-invoice pricing plan in this thread: https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/dealer-says-no-invoice-on-a-mme.9302/#post-240562 --my wife and i have been thinking that, since we are forced to pay MSRP...
  8. Dealer says, "No invoice on a MME"

    My BS alarm is going off, maybe yours will too… Stopped by the dealership today to finalize numbers, since our MME is scheduled for production this week. Main agenda item was to get a trade-in value on my wife’s Escape, since we intend to pay cash plus trade-in for the MME. The trade-in offer...
  9. Got our level 2 charger plug installed

    Car scheduled for build this week, hopefully...
  10. This customer says Ford needs to improve order tracking

    Read a few posts recently that indicate Ford would like to transition over to online ordering. Fine and ducky by me, but before you pull the trigger, Ford, improve the order tracking. By a load. If Ford expects a customer to wait 6 months, or six weeks, for their cars to arrive, the...
  11. What 'chips' are the MMEs waiting for anyway?

    Reading the posts in the six week delay email thread has me wondering what chips/modules/systems are our cars missing? I read somewhere on here a while back that the industry-wide chip shortage was primarily for engine controls, which MMEs don't have, so we should be fine, the supposition was...
  12. Why do all the trackers lag so much?

    Got our production date and VIN from the dealer a week ago, and since then have been checking the VIN and order number in all the trackers, both Ford and not. None of them even show the production date, just the order accepted date, and I get "Can't retrieve this VIN" messages. What's wrong...
  13. What's the best MME tracking tool?

    OK, at 57 days since placing our order, we have a production date and a VIN. Been following this forum since ordering and have accumulated a saved list of links to 4 or 5 tracking tools. My question is: which one is the best? Fastest and most accurate? I ran my order number and VIN through...
  14. Order milestones

    We received our order confirmation email from Ford the other day, after 39 days on order. The email lists three milestones when we will hear from Ford, 1.)when scheduled for production, 2.)built, and 3.)shipped. But no timing is given. My dealer checks his order status report for me every...
  15. Why is charging to 100% a bad thing?

    The Mach E we have on order (Premium AWD SR) will be our first BEV, so we are trying to learn what it will be like to live with a beast of a different breed. The owner's manual and many posts on this forum warn against charging to 100%. Got that, but why? Back in the Dark Ages of rechargeable...
  16. How does Tesla handle customer complaints/questions/service without a dealer network?

    First off, I freely admit to being a Tesla ignoramus, never paid much attention to them because they seem very pricey and focused on California customers. I do admire Musk and his achievements. Add to that the big pile of gripes on this forum about Ford dealers who are no help with BEV...
  17. Fake customers? Dealer trickery

    My dealer contacted us yesterday asking for a copy of my wife's drivers license to send to Ford to prove her car is ordered for a real customer. According to him, Ford has discovered that dealers are making up customers to order cars as sold to get these orders moved up. Tsk, tsk.
  18. What is all that stuff & what does it do?

    The Munro teardown videos have me puzzled about the complexity and number of components behind and under the frunk lining. What is all that stuff and what does it do? He pointed to each one and said a name, bit as many self-proclaimed gurus are fond of doing, didn't give any basics and used...
  19. How will we know when the chip crisis is over?

    Read on the F-150 gen14 forum that trucks are being produced again the US. So how will we know if MMEs are rolling off the line in Mexico? Do we have spies that will tip us off that production has resumed?
  20. How about order tracking basics?

    Just placed my order at the dealer yesterday, so wondering how to track? Seems a common question, a FAQ, so how about some real savvy person put together a primer for the rest of us on the process that works from order placement to delivery? Include links to tracking sites and we can save it...
