  1. Buy Used

    I just acquired a used 2025 Mache Premium with extended range battery and the Sport Appearance Package. It had less than 3,000 miles and is in near-perfect condition. The discount from the original window sticker was great--a year's worth of depreciation was reflected. The following is an...
  2. Future Lincoln Corsair Based on Mach-E?

    I recently initiated a Google search request about the 2026 Lincoln Corsair. The posting by Google Search Labs AI ends with "all responses may include mistakes," so take it with a grain of salt.) . I frankly doubt that this Google response is accurate, but it is intriguing. I've posted it...
  3. Three Year Brake Fluid Changeout

    My vehicle is coming up on the three year mark. It's been essentially problem-free, with little maintenance required. But I see that Ford specifies that the brake fluid be changed at the three year mark. Does anyone know why? Is it something to do with the regenerative braking system? I have...

  5. Did you know... voice command shortcuts: quick vs. long push of talk button

    OK; maybe this has been intuitive for Mach-e owners, but I'm wondering if everyone is aware of it. Simply put: a quick/short push of the talk button will establish vocal communication with the Ford Sync system. So, if you want to turn the vehicle's radio and select a specific station, you can...

  8. Why Does My Vechicle Occasionally Charge to 100 Percent?

    I've had my Mach-e (2001 AWD Extended Range Premium) for a full year now--just got a note from the dealer telling me it had a birthday last week. I have set up the charging routine to charge to 85 percent and only when my electric rates are lower (7PM to 7AM weekdays and any time on weekends)...
  9. Mach-E Getting Better and Better

    Yesterday I took a short trip and returned with a smile on my face. I use Android Maps extensively and I noticed that it now fills the Mach-e's screen on my vehicle. It's nice to have large maps displayed for directions, etc. It got me thinking of all of the upgrades that have occurred in the 10...
  10. BACKUP START PASSCODE USED

    I received two emails from FordPass this morning. Both reported that: Hi Thomas, Your Backup Start Passcode was used to operate Thomz-Mache 2021 2021 Mustang Mach-E. If you didn’t authorize this, please contact a FordGuide. My vehicle was in a parking lot adjacent to the local coffee shop...
  11. Default Driving Mode

    I'm curious about the normal driving mode used by Mach-e owners. I've frankly always used Whisper. I have tried Unbridled a couple of times and find that the experience is a bit 'wonky.' The braking seems aggressive, acceleration somewhat abnormal, etc. Maybe I just haven't gotten used to the...
  12. Picked up my Mach-e on Monday

    I picked up my Mustang on Monday. It was originally ordered in April and manufactured in late July, but then held up for apparent chip shortage issues. The dealer provided me with a modest discount because of the delay (I actually had a different one on order that arrived earlier and I allowed...
