  1. Has anyone been following the Donut Labs battery announcement and testing data?

    My EV skeptic father sent me the announcement video a couple weeks ago, and I started looking into it. I still see it as mostly vaporware until they are actually being delivered to end users and someone can tear down a battery pack for testing and verification. But, if it proves out, I keep...
  2. Has anyone replaced a heater?

    So, the heater in the Smurfmobile is flaking out. It will shoot warm air if I keep it on recirculating cabin air with the fan set to 1 or 2, but outside those parameters it gets cold quickly. This has never been an issue before. It sounds like letting the dealership repair it is going to be over...
  3. I’m not seeing the option to subscribe to BlueCruise on my connected services page.

    So, I was thinking of adding BC back to the Smurfmobile, so I logged in to my owner.ford.com page and went to connected services. Upon arrival there, the tile for BlueCruise isn’t there. Is this happening to anyone else? The live chat is useless, it just keeps directing me to the account...
  4. I ain’t one to gossip, so you ain’t heard this from me…

    Get thee to the Ford website now to purchase a Ford to Tesla adapter.
  5. I got a little bored with the black key fobs… painted mine blue

    I wanted to paint my AirPods Pro to match the Smurfmobile, and when I went to my local automotive paint supply shop, I quickly found that the smallest amount of paint I could purchase was going to be WAY more than I needed for just the one case. So, I ordered up a F-150 Lightning fob for the...
  6. I had a thought on my trip to Colorado and back…

    If Ford gave you the option to keep the BlueCruise you currently have, and only get safety related updates and map updates, for around $50/year, would you be interested? I'm currently sitting at BC 1.0, which worked fine for me, but I’ll be damned if I am going to pay retail only to be treated...
  7. Spotted: Tjin Edition Mach-E Safari Concept

    Admin update: this is the Tjin Edition Mach-E Safari Concept. Im not a big fan of the hood mounted lights, but I bet they come in handy. The fender flares, on the other hand, I want them. Does anyone know anything about this car?
  8. Seriously Ford…

    In the last 60 days, my car has attempted a grand total of 3 OTA updates. This is the second one that has ended up like this. If you want to know why I am not paying $600 for 3 additional years of hands free BlueCruise, this is why. Besides missing every single target you have publicly set for...
  9. I’m not sure where this one belongs. Is your dealership planning to become “Model E” certified?

    I thought about this with my dealership as I drove past it today. I would obviously prefer that they do, but I have another dealership that seems committed to EV’s not much further from my home. I want to find out if my dealership, and/or the other one are going to get the certification, so I...
  10. Latest Early Access survey…

    So I just received a survey request from the early access program. I decided to hijack it and every time they allowed me to type in comments I let them know how I feel about the new pricing for BlueCruise. ?
  11. So, I got an email this past week that my complimentary BlueCruise subscription is about to expire, and it got me thinking…

    I will not be subscribing until Ford updates all Job 1 cars like mine to 1.2. None of this “it’s coming”, no “second quarter”, I’m not paying until I have all the features available
  12. Dear Mach-E OTA team,

    Unless Alexa can open the hood/front storage compartment/frunk, why would you invest so much effort in giving us yet another voice assistant/data mining app that no one was asking for over the electronic release that we have ALL been complaining about since day 1? I seriously don’t understand...
  13. So, here at the tail end of my trip to Colorado and back…

    I’m considering changing the S Smurfmobile’s name. In honor of all the bugs it has laid waste to, I’m considering renaming it to Ender. Thoughts? ?
  14. Navigation system has suddenly gotten very stupid… or I just never noticed this.

    Since arriving in Colorado, and now on my way back to Detroit, the car regularly routes me to exit the highway only to have me get right back on the highway. There’s no stop, no nothing, just exit and rejoin the highway while driving. this is causing me a ton of stress because I am driving...
  15. Well, it’s 100° in Fort Morgan, and I need to dcfc to make it to my next stop.

    I guess I’m about to see how good the HVBJB replacement works. Wish me well.
  16. The Mach-E I want…

    Popular Science got to drive the 1400 hp Mach-E.
  17. The Smurfmobile is coming to Colorado…

    I’m going to road-trip the Smurfmobile out to Colorado from detroit for shits and giggles, and to use up my “free” EA KWH. I am going to meet up with some friends for a few days, but I wouldn’t mind getting together with a few Mach-E knuckleheads while I’m out there as well. If this sounds like...
