Just received it.

Driving 200 miles on the highway to visit family for Easter, I notice steering wheel judder at 70mph+. Alignment seems fine but the tires are likely unbalanced. My Hankook iON evo all-seasons only have about 20k miles on them. No, I’ve never rotated them. I decide I don’t want to drive home...

Five years ago today, I flew to Denver to pick up Sonic - my Grabber Blue FE - and drive him home to Wichita. 74,500 miles later, here is my five-year review. I have no regrets. I made the right decision at the time. 2021 was a good entry point in the lifecycle of current battery tech, and...

Quick question - I’m testing out a dash cam and powering it with the 12v cigarette outlet in the storage bin under the armrest. I understand that this is a partially switched outlet - it will stay hot for maybe 10mins after turning off the car. That’s fine for me - I don’t intend to run the cam...

@REDTIGER was kind enough to send me their F17 Elite 3-Channel DashCam for evaluation. In exchange for promising to post an honest review (this), I get a free dash cam! But this review is gonna be extra special because I’m a total noob when it comes to dash cams or installing them. Which means...

Anybody who knows my posting history knows that I’ve been skeptical about the “unexpected acceleration” crash claims. I was firmly in the camp of “you accidentally activated cruise control when twisting the steering wheel but the car didn’t accelerate - it just turned off one-pedal driving which...

Thanks for nothing, evil Republicans!! (J/k, this has nothing to with politics, and instead appears to be driven by union protectionism). https://www.motortrend.com/news/nec-2026-diy-home-ev-charger-install-ban Now, practically speaking, all this means is that DIYers just won’t pull a permit...

I know EAP still exists. And that Ford is evidently aware it still exists. But do we really think EAP and OTA updates are likely to provide meaningful software enhancements for the 21-24s going forward?

What’s available in the EV SUV/CUV space that’s actually better than my 2021 First Edition? Money is no option, but it does have to meet the following minimum criteria… 1. At least 250 miles highway range. 2. 0-60 in under 5 seconds. 3. Some form of hands-free driving, at least on the highways...

My side mirrors stutter when auto-folding and unfolding. This has been going on for quite a while. I read somewhere that this is an easy fix with lubrication. Where and how?

There are many older threads on this. See here and here for example. It’s still happening in 2025. In my case, it has happened about a half-dozen times over 4 years of ownership. Most recently this morning. In my case, each instance has occurred in conjunction with the car detecting PAAK and...

I know, I know, the Mach E doesn’t even really have the cameras for it, but Sentry Mode might be the single biggest Tesla feature I’m jealous of. These videos exploding on the internet of geniuses vandalizing Teslas are INSANE. I cannot believe people are so unhinged as to think destroying...

Four years ago today, I flew to Denver to pick up Sonic - my Grabber Blue FE - and drive him home to Wichita. 61,500 miles later, here is my four-year review. I have no regrets. I made the right decision at the time, given that better battery tech was still too far away back in 2021, and the...

https://www.npr.org/2025/02/28/nx-s1-5301005/ev-tax-credit-returns-denied Ooof. This sucks. Hope the dealers who screwed up make it right for their customers, but that would likely require the dealer to eat $7,500. Anybody here impacted by this? Man the whole EV tax credit thing needs to be...

Just received this email… It is nice to see that Ford is belatedly taking action to address a systemic flaw with the 12v battery. It is under-spec’d for the electronics in this car, too difficult to access, and the battery management software was not keeping it adequately charged. Now, Ford...

10.1.1 received today. First Edition EAP. That’s it. My car is… up to date. There are no more updates available at present. I have reached the summit. What now? What other milestones to conquer?

2025 is here, and with it the Dawn of a New Golden Age of Mach E Ownership. That’s right - the SUPER POLL is back, baby! Prior iterations here (2022) and here (2023) and here (2024). It’s a new year, and it’s time to remind @Ford Motor Company what software fixes and enhancements we really...

Just arrived. Haven’t seen a thread on this variant yet. I don’t think I ever received any of the other ECG-24 gateway updates. Appears that Ford may be issuing different variants to different cars. I’ve got a 21 FE in EAP. I have BC1.3 but I still haven’t received any of the 10.x updates...

This is the thread for the 99.99997% of 2021 Mach Es which were running the OG BC1.0 and were not the lucky few to receive beta 1.4 (and that includes most in the “EAP”). Us normies are finally receiving BC1.3. And after rolling with it for a week, I can say that it’s a nice improvement. It...

I rather doubt Ford is making good on this promise, but we’ll see. No, I can’t say anything more about it. But if you also got the email, you know what I’m talking about.
