  1. Repeatable CarPlay nav malfunction

    Off and on over the past three years, CarPlay navigation has mistaken where the car is currently located. Then it would magically fix itself the next time I got in the car. As of this month, CarPlay has begun failing again, only updating the location every 4 seconds or so (periodically), and...
  2. Three of four Tire Pressure sensors blowing in 3 days

    I have a Job 1 2021 with about 28000 miles in it. I got new rims 3 years ago, and this week, on three consecutive days, a TPMS sensor stopped reporting to the car. TPMS batteries are supposed to last much longer than I’ve had the car, so I’m wondering if anyone has ideas about what may have...
  3. Great (Ridiculous?) Efficiency with Michelin Pilot AS/4

    I recently changed my tires to new Michelin Pilot AS/4s, sized 245/50/R19. 3 years ago, I replaced the OEM rims with Volvo XC90 rims ("turbine") and put the larger 245s on them, using the Continental DSW06 245/50/R19s. Those were pretty good - I didn't notice much loss of efficiency going to the...
  4. Cameras out of alignment?

    I have an early build 2021 Mach-e, purchased in March 2021. Recently, I’ve noticed that the overhead view of the backup camera doesn’t quite line up anymore. For example, if I have the camera on and I drive over road markings, the view from the side no longer aligns with the view in the front...
  5. Ridiculous "Trade" offer from dealer

    "Great News!" The dealer which took my Mach-e order back in 2000 wants my 2021 Job 1 Premium extended AWD back, and is offering me $10,000 off MSRP for a new 2023 Mach-e Premium extended AWD. "Combined incentives result in an agreed upon vehicle value of $62,055 ($72,305 MSRP less $10,250...
  6. Calibrating the Camera

    Hey experts, I understand that for BlueCruise to work correctly, the camera in the windshield needs to be properly calibrated. Is there a way to tell if your camera is out of calibration? If so, is calibration something that can be done DIY, or does it require a trip to a service center?
  7. "Key Not Detected" - CarPlay's fault?

    I use PaaK exclusively. It works well almost every time: I approach the car, the car unlocks, I get in and start the ignition. But about half the time, I start to drive off, and I get "Key Not Detected" flashing in my instrument cluster. The car continues to drive, but if I were to stop the car...
  8. BlueCruise dead zones?

    Have any users with BlueCruise operational found that there are dead zones on interstates where you would expect BlueCruise to be functional? For me, it's I-66 between Washington DC and the Beltway. It simply will not turn hands free until I approach VA-267. And yet, it will go hands-free on...
  9. Pre-collision Assist stopped working?

    Hey, so after I finally received all my OTAs and got BlueCruise working, I've noticed recently that pre-collision assist doesn't seem to be working anymore. I've had a couple incidents where I have come upon a car in front of me, and did not get the beeping warning. Today, I came within probably...
  10. The IDEAL Electric Vehicle World

    As always, there is a lot of talk here and elsewhere about the comparisons between driving an ICE vehicle and driving an EV. The most common question I get asked is "what's the range?" While the correct answer is "greater than 99.9% of the trips I take," I usually answer with less snark: "I get...
  11. Mobile Charger "overheating" in 30 degree weather

    Anyone else have this problem? I use the mobile charger that came with the car as my home EVSE. This summer when it was hot as hades, my mobile charger was constantly reading an amber and a flashing blue, which the manual says means that it's reducing current due to overheating. I even...
  12. Trip-planner / preconditioning & charging

    So I think I know the answer, but kinda hoping someone will tell me otherwise. Going on a trip on Monday with low temperatures expected. Will putting the itinerary into the trip planner do either of these things: - charge the battery to 100% before I depart - precondition the battery to have it...
  13. How do early builds get BlueCruise?

    So a bunch of us are approaching a year into having our Mach-e’s without BlueCruise. I’d say a good chunk of those are also on Ford Options, meaning we are maybe one third of the way through our “leases.” And some are in the early access program, which we thought would get us BlueCruise sooner...
  14. 2017 XC90 19" wheels - edit: these work!

    Thinking of grabbing these 19x8 5x108mm rims that were options on the 2017 Volvo XC90...
  15. Big Wheel Check In

    Okay, some of y'all have had your Mach-e's for a while and added 245s and even 255s on them. Let's see 'em. Specs, pics, and range. I'ma call some of you fools out because I've been watching you and your big wheels to see if I want to replicate!
  16. Car rolls backwards uphill in D

    So I’ve noticed a very worrying problem with my Mach-e that I’ve been able to replicate: When coming to a stop at slow speed on a small hill, like coming to the end of a driveway with an apron, the car stops and then slowly rolls backwards when I lift my foot off the throttle. I’ve noticed this...
  17. Copper dipped wheels DIY

    I dipped my wheels! First in plastidip: then in burnt copper: then peeled the excess and removed the mask over the brakes. The photos look a little dark, but the finish is a satin coppery color close to a penny. It took me about 90 minutes and was pretty easy. If I were to do it...
  18. Mach-e won't turn off

    In the last two days, I've noticed my car not "turning off" when i leave it and walk away. The rear view mirrors close, so I know that the car is locked, but the brake lights and the headlines remain on. (Currently, it's been 10 minutes since I've left the car, and I still see the lights on...
  19. SPOTTED: New Mach-e in Arlington, VA

    Driving around this morning, I spotted a new Infinite Blue Mach-e w/ Black interior in Ballston this morning. It had VA licenses but still had the Koons Sterling window sticker on it. I pulled over to see if anyone was nearby, but they were not. If that was you, welcome to the club!
  20. Red-to-Black(ish) Hypershift

    Somebody, do this to your Mach-e so I can see what it looks like. ?
