  1. Mini rant on DC charging.

    My wife and I went from Tucson to Phoenix for a quick overnight trip. We have done this multiple times in the MME. It is about 250 miles RT, so a charge is needed. Yesterday on the way up stopped in Phoenix at an Electrify America location we have used multiple times. As usual 2 out of the 8...
  2. Looking for experience with RWD MachE

    Hi Folks, We have a 2023 Premium GT with AWD. Been very happy with it. Our son, who lives in Texas (Waco to be exact) is thinking of buying an MME. He has more modest resources, and is looking at selects and possibly premium but cannot find any within a 100 mile range that have AWD. Does anyone...
  3. Strange change to startup sounds after update fix

    As I posted a few weeks ago, my 23 Mache GT was not getting OTA updates. Took it to dealer today, and they said it is a known problem and they say they fixed it. Here is my odd change. We all have a percussion "jingle" when we start up. I have noticed in a loaner in the past that the sounds...
  4. Why I need both a MME and a ICE vehicle.

    Just a general comment, wonder if others have a similar situation. We love our MME. We also have a Jeep wrangler that we also love. Have taken only one long trip in the MME, but we have a number of time driven from Tucson where we live to Phoenix. Today is a baseball game. The trip is 120 miles...
  5. How do I know if the car has preconditioned prior to a DC charge?

    I don't often do DC charging, but after a recent longer trip with a total of 8 DC charging stops, I realized I have no idea if the car did any preconditioning. At Freeway speeds there id no clear change in sound, so how would I even know? Do I have to do anything to make it happen? PS: I do not...
  6. First longer trip with Tesla charging

    We've had our MME for about 1.5 years, but mainly drive around town or at most 250 mile round trips (so 1 charge.) Over the last few days we drove from Tucson to LA (1100 miles RT.) Comments about charging and routing: Charging: We charged a total of 8 times (one was a top up) of the 8, 6 were...
  7. Another glitch in Android Fordpass app

    Hi Folks, Noticed a new glitch. When looking at the Fordpass app looked at the software updates section. First it said that I did not have autoupdates on, but I know I do. After shutting the app and reopening now it believe I have autoupdates one. But it continues to think there is no recurring...
  8. OTA updates?

    Hi Folks, About 1.5 years in on my 23 MachE GT. In general very happy. One question - I keep seeing all sorts of new things that will be available for example in routing, but the announcement seems to be for 25 model year. I certainly hope I will get updates? Last one was in November and it is...
  9. Plug and Charge Still Disabled

    Hi Folks, Plug and charge is still disabled on my FordPass app. I called last week as soon as someone posted this issue and I saw it affected me. An earnest ypung woman assired me this would be repirted to the engineers and fixed. No change. If any Ford rep reads these forums, please please fix...
  10. About to take first longish trip

    Hi Folks, in the 1.5 years we have owned our MME we have never taken a trip over 250 miles. I need one charge on such a trip and I just find where I want to do it "manually." We are going to be driving from Tucson to CA in early spring, a trip of about 550 miles one way. Question is how to route...
  11. NACS to CCS extender?

    Hi Folks, Having waited months for my ford supplied NACS to CCS adapter, I wondered if anyone knew of a similar device that include a bit of a cable extender say 3 ft? I don't want to do this via a kludge, but an extra few feet would obviate the challenges of some Tesla charging cables not...
  12. General Routing question

    Hi Folks, excuse my stupid question. I've been trying to figure out how to get google maps to suggest stops for EV charging, but am unable to do it. The Ford routing app obviously can, but I can find no way to do it outside of the car. Also will the ford routing app in the car (or outside if...
  13. Adventures with superchargers

    Hi Folks, my bright shiny new NACS to CCS adapter from Ford finally arrived late last week, and we were taking a trip of about 250 miles round trip, so decided to try it out. First attempt was a grand bust but second was a GREAT SUCCESS. Here is what I learned. First, the long discussed...
  14. Ford Charging bucks balance

    For those of us who bought bourbon MME long ago that we got the electrify America charging bucks, is there any remaining way to check the balance? I think the app used to show but the more recent iterations do not. In general it seems ford's connection to electrify America is a lot weaker - you...
  15. Google maps not loading on android auto

    Wonder if anyone else has this problem. Had the car for about a year, and it worked fine until we came back from a 2 week vacation. Most of Android auto works fine, just not the google maps. Any ideas on what to try? No updates available on car and all phone apps are up to date. Steve NEVER...
  16. 12 volt status and google maps

    OK, obviously totally unrelated to each other. We were away for 2 weeks and the car sat for that time. I had checked the 12 volt before we left and it was at about 90%. After 2 weeks at home, I'm not sure what it is. The Ford website now seems to say 50%, but that amount is also suspiciously...
  17. 12 volt status

    Sorry for a stupid question, but when I log in to ford.com, I have no luck finding my 12 volt status. All I see is HVB charge level. I'm sure I'm just not looking in the right place, but I've tried to go over the entire page. TIA, Steve
  18. Should I have a 1 year service?

    Our MME is now almost a year old with almost 10k miles. It has been great except for needing a BCM replacement, which was diagnosed and done at local dealer. I got a warning on the ford app telling me it was time for regular 10k service. I wonder if people are doing this? I'm an oil change on...
  19. Blue Oval didn't work to charge my Ford bucks

    Hi Folks, We rarely charge outside of our home, but last week we stopped at an Electrify america station I have used before, and when I plugged in, I was asked for a credit card. This is probably only the 4th or 5th time I've charged at a public DC facility since I bought the car a bit less...
  20. AC start before I get to car.

    I have started to do this, and love it (Southern Arizona.) Is there any reason to worry about any effect on the electrical system? I assume this only effects the High Voltage batteries. Steve
