Just got into an accident in a parking lot. Both of us were backing up at the same time out of our spaces. I looked in the cam and saw her car, but she hadn’t started moving. Looked parked. I looked over my shoulder to make sure oncoming traffic was clear and started backing out, and BANG. Sigh.

Electrek had a good article for new EV drivers and maximizing their range in winter. As we’re heading there in the Northern Hemisphere, thought it would be good to share. Article Link If you don’t live in the Southern Hemisphere or close to the Equator, then cold temperatures are headed your...

After the Field Service Engineer did the 10 patches, I noticed that when I go to the WiFi Hotspot screen in settings, it shows “2G.” There can’t still be 2G towers in existence even, to my memory. No matter where I drive, on/off cycles, and SYNC reboots, it shows 2G. I ran a Speedtest from my...

I’m just curious…that lower center cubby that’s almost on the floor between the driver and the passenger, just below the phone charging pad…what do you store there? On the RDX it was high enough and big enough for my wife’s purse or my bag, but this is smaller and harder to access. Just...

Maybe it's because I'm not in a big city, but has anyone seen the 3D buildings promised on the Ford navigation screen? Yes, my option is turned on, and I've cycled the option a couple of times to make sure it's turned on, but I have yet to see a building at all on my Ford nav, much less a 3D...

I had to do the “down to college” run a couple of times over the weekend, and I noticed something interesting in the release edition of iOS 15 that I didn’t notice in the betas (though it absolutely could have been there before and I just didn't notice). When CarPlay connected from the car’s...

“Everyone else is doing it…why not me?!” I’ve had the car for a week and about 500 miles, so here goes. TL;DR - I’m extraordinarily happy with this car. I was very concerned moving from my 2019 Acura RDX Advance SH-AWD because I absolutely loved that car, but I’ve barely thought about it since...

"KIDS, WE ARE LATE," I bellowed, trying to get them out the door for school this morning. I unplugged the car from preconditioning, and my smallest daughter asked why the MME was charging when it had been plugged in all night. I told her it was preconditioning, and I explained why that was...

I'm working on one of the obligatory "finally got my MME and here's what I think" posts (spoiler alert: I love it), but yesterday I had an emergency where I had to take it about 90 miles from home to help my daughters at college. Let me say I genuinely like the Navigation system's capabilities...

I've searched but haven't seen this anywhere else. I'm trying to complete the online ordering, and I put in that I wanted Ford Credit for a purchase with a down payment of $35,000. It gives me a green check, and I moved through the rest of the cart options like accessories, taxes & fees, etc...

I caught this on my "Mach-E" filter on Twitter. Because it looked like such BS, I had to go run the numbers at this dealership (Sheehy Ford of Springfield, VA) with the online ordering tool myself. Spoiler alert: It wasn't BS. Well, the TWEET wasn't BS, but the pricing sure is. ON A PREMIUM...

We knew it was coming, but it’s nice to see an article written confirming it. https://fordauthority.com/2021/08/2021-ford-mustang-mach-e-will-get-improved-apple-maps-integration/ 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E Will Get Improved Apple Maps Integration August 12, 2021 Surprisingly, quite a few new...

After reading all of these stories about dealers marking up orders, adding LoJack and $1000 wheel locks, and more, I just had a freak-out moment and emailed my dealer who I hadn't heard from since the original order back in April and said, "I'm reading all this stuff about what dealers are doing...

Out of curiosity, what are some of the more laughable "derogatory" names you've heard for the Mustang Mach-E? So far, I've heard: "Momstang" (which I think is fantastic even as a Dad) "Mustang Family Truckster" (you might have to be of "Vacation" age to appreciate that one) Both of these made...

It seems like two more Chevy Bolts have spontaneously combusted even after receiving the software update to stop it from happening. I do hope Chevy can get a handle on this soon. Besides the loss of property and potentially life, it clouds ALL EVs in the public eye, not just Chevys...

[Updated with response from Ford Norway] Courtesy of Motor.no: This was a pretty interesting article and reveals a similar issue to some of our friends in the West on steep mountain descents. Apparently in the last 14 days, six Mach-Es have bricked themselves from the heat generated during...

I’ve looked through the forums and read the charging section in the MME Owner’s Guide, but I think I’m just missing the answer to my question. When charging, should the MME be on, off, or it doesn’t matter? I know it says not to use e-heat at least for the first few minutes when DCFC charging...

I know at least a few of you have an Acura RDX and an MME in your driveway based on other conversations. For those of you with an RDX--especially one of the newest designs (the current American designed and built models--2019, 2020, 2021)--can you tell me how you feel they compare in whatever...

Now, I’m not saying you’d necessarily WANT to do a cross-country trip in a Mach-E, but it’s nice seeing that you A) can do it, and B) can do it with the EA network for all but one stop in Oklahoma City. It adds a 25% time penalty going electric vice gas (not factoring in charging while eating...

I spotted a First Edition MME east of Winchester, VA recently (I won't get specific in the event someone doesn't want to be outed). I was just curious if you DO want to say hello, I'm in Berryville and am waiting on my delivery of a Premium 4X. Glad to see I won't be the only person on this side...
