I upgraded to the first beta, which I usually don't do, and it's pretty solid so far. This year's upgrade is all about Siri AI, with many performance improvements under the hood, especially more reliable wireless CarPlay connections. CarPlay is getting a ton of love this year. Beyond the major...

Grok and ChatGPT have CarPlay support. Both are excellent. Far more useful than saying, "Hey Siri, what is...". Unfortunately, you do have to initiate them manually. I prefer Claude, but Grok and ChatGPT are awesome, too. Perplexity is an option as well.

Apple's CarPlay Ultra system for vehicles is expanding to new brands, with Hyundai and Kia models expected to support it soon. I hope Ford adopts it. I would even pay for the feature. https://www.macrumors.com/2026/04/18/apple-says-carplay-ultra-is-coming-to-these-vehicle-brands/

People ask me about my MME all the time, and it's hard to sell them on any kind of EV. Quite frankly, it's the best car I've ever owned with the worst depreciation. It seems like the market is now fairly saturated. The cost-benefit isn't there for many people and EVs are still too exotic for...

Any one else having this issue? The warranty on my 2022 Premium expired in December, but my understanding is that software updates will continue to come my way. Seems like I'm missing a few updates.

I've literally never seen a company with a "Coming soon" placeholder.

Ford is shifting its electric-vehicle strategy to focus on more cost-efficient, high-volume EVs and hybrids after its EV business lost nearly $5 billion last year. Demand for hybrids has risen, with Ford selling 15% more F-150 Hybrids in 2025 than the previous year...

"Tesla may be developing support for Apple CarPlay, a feature long requested by Tesla drivers. This would be a reversal for CEO Elon Musk, who has previously been against CarPlay." https://appleinsider.com/articles/25/11/13/tesla-may-be-looking-to-apple-carplay-to-boost-flagging-sales A big...

A lot of brands support it, and I really wish Ford would reconsider. It's a first world problem to be sure, but opening my phone to open the Fordpass app, to open the controls to unlock the car when I don't have my key is silly when there is a faster and more elegant solution. "Ford does not...

"Ford CEO Jim Farley stated that the company will not adopt CarPlay Ultra due to concerns about Apple’s control over the in-vehicle experience, particularly regarding Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). Farley believes Google’s platform, with its separate Google Automotive Services and...

I honestly hope Ford succeeds wildly, but how is this sustainable? I understand that it’s a lot of moving numbers around on a spreadsheet for tax reasons, but still. https://apple.news/ANjhLQeYcSeShKzagRUC1Ew

More detailed weather Amazon orders: Music Updated "glass" look is awesome Very clean interface overall.

Although US sales rose 16% in May, Ford’s EV sales fell short of expectations. Even with employee prices and other discounts, Ford sold just over 6,700 electric vehicles last month, 25% fewer than in May 2024. The Mustang Mach-E was the only electric model with higher sales compared to last...

From the LA Times: Ford Motor Co. has filed suit against multiple prominent Southern California law firms and attorneys, alleging that they engaged in a vast and sophisticated fraud scheme to collect at least $100 million in "phantom legal fees” under the state’s Lemon Law. In a complaint...

I took my MME to the dealer for the fix, which was covered by the warranty, although the invoice says it cost them $918.22 in labor. Apparently, it took 4.63 hours to diagnose and apply the update? It doesn't look like they replaced the center console, just updated the firmware and reset it. I...

Looks awesome. My Mach-E is at the dealership to address the wireless CarPlay/Android issue. CarPlay Ultra, the next generation of CarPlay, is now available for new Aston Martin vehicle orders in the U.S. and Canada. It deeply integrates with the vehicle, providing information for all driver...

Apple released iOS 18.4.1 and iPadOS 18.4.1 to address two critical vulnerabilities that may have been exploited in attacks against targeted individuals. The update also fixes a wireless CarPlay bug. Users are advised to update their devices immediately...

From the WSJ: "Ford Motor's director of artificial intelligence, Bryan Goodman, aims to speed up the company's vehicle design process using AI agents, open-source models, and future Nvidia GPUs. Goodman believes that AI can help bring new car models to market faster by automating and speeding...

I've uncovered, pun not intended, several defects on the MME. The carwash I use, where I've washed my MME dozens of times in the past years, knocked the cover off my charge port door. Many people on this forum have experienced this defect. I went back to the carwash today to see if they found...
