I got an update to the app today and when I got in my car sure enough the screen is no longer blank! Nothing too fancy, but nice.

I’ve had a custom plate on my Mach-E since I got it, it’s not related to the car. But today I thought of the perfect plate and at least in my state it’s not even taken. E-TROIT What do you think? Anyone else wanna post ideas for others that they’re not using?

So today I saw a show use that old plot device of cutting someone’s brake lines so they’d get in an “accident”, and that got me thinking. Every guide to servicing brakes I’ve ever seen also makes a big point about not getting grease on the breaking surface for similar reasons I know regen can...

Starting with iOS 26 Apple will start letting you watch videos on the CarPlay screen when parked, but it sounds like it will require a small update on the car side to support it. Ford, please, if it’s the last update my ‘21 gets this would be very nice...

Am I the first? I haven’t seen anyone mention 2021s getting this yet.

So I finally got 1.3 on my ‘21 yesterday and got to test it out (yea!). It really is a great improvement. But I was a little confused by the lane switching indicators. When in full BC hands free there are now chevrons next to the car in grey (“<“ and “>”). But I guess I’m not sure what they...

It’s that time of year around me when you see lots of piles of dry leaves in the street that just fell off the trees. I was always told never to drive through them in a normal car because the heat of the exhaust, especially the catalytic converter, would catch them and you could cause a fire...

BlueCruise 1.3 was announced on July 13th, 2023. On July 31st you announced the software update was coming soon. Your last thread was June 16th, 2024. Now it was a busy year. I know there seems to have been some issues that delayed things last year, and the Tesla update was probably an...

I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced this or found a fix. Since I got a number of updates in mid January I started having CarPlay issues where it would connect over and over and over making it hard to use. It would eventually settle down. Note iOS 17.3 came out around then to. Well...

I’m curious what this could be. I got my car back from the local dealership last week after a long wait on a part. I just noticed it uploaded 121 MB the day it came home and 190 MB the next day. In contrast it downloaded about 6 MB total those two days. Was this diagnostic info? Maybe driving...

There is a green alert in FordPass on the main screen showing my car got an update, but not what version it is. But the message center doesn’t show a new message. My last update message there is from October, though I’ve now gotten 2 updates since then without messages. Is this a...

I’m at about the sell point. I love my car, but this is too much. I already lost it for a month last year or so due to the BEV issue. And the times for the windshield recalls. Took my ‘21 Job 1 in yesterday for 22B28 and 23B50. While there they also did two TSB updates. When the car was...

It not clear to me if cars with 1.3 are in customer hands yet or not, but I know you YouTubers have used it and I would assume auto journalists as well. Does anyone know if there is now an audible alert when hands-free mode turns off and you need to put your hands back on the wheel? I know...

Has anyone figured out how to successfully get the Mach-E to connect to an iPhone hotspot? My phone shows up in the WiFi list. It starts connecting. The iPhone shows something connected. After 15 or so seconds the car gives up (never finished connecting) and the phone stops showing any client...

So I was thinking of switching to PaaK but had a question about you handle a specific case. Let’s say I’m out driving around with passengers. I pull up to a store to run an errand and go in with my phone. What happens to my passengers? Can the car keep running? Will it turn off and the alarm...

I was out driving today and made a quick stop. When I got back in and tried to turn the car on I got the dreaded “stop safely now” and couldn’t put it in far. Had to have it towed. So for those who have suffered before me how long does the repair tend to take? Dealer’s closed today so I was...

I’ve had my car for a year and this has never worked right. It’s an early Job 1 ‘21, fully updated. I never get to see the puddle pony because of it. The mirrors are fine mechanically. They fold and unfold perfectly every time you press mirror button. But when I lock my car they fold in...

I have a very early 2021 Premium AWD ER, fully up to date software. I’ve been getting by on L1 charging (I don’t drive a lot) but I’d like to upgrade. There is someone living above my garage. Wth L1 the fan can spin up loud if I’ve been driving right before plug-in but it turns off within ~15...
