I got a surprise OTA notice on my 2021 Premium ER RWD yesterday. I do not see it listed in the forums. Priority Update - Lane Change Assist 07/23/2025 Lane Change Signal This update adjusts your vehicle’s software to ensure the Lane Change Assist turn signal flashes until the lane change...

I am going to try this tomorrow, but I just got a notice about ABRP 6.0 retrieving live data via Android Auto. I switched over to Google Maps when they rolled out Android Auto integration because I always had some intermittent problems dealing with live data using a Bluetooth BLE dongle...

I do not have the Visa Card, but just got this update. FordPass® Rewards Visa® Card Update Here’s what’s happening. You are receiving this email because you are a FordPass® Rewards member. We’re letting you know that new applications for the FordPass Rewards Visa Card are no longer...

I took a trip from the Boston area to Henniker, NH and needed to fast charge on the way home. I was surprised to see Ford Charge network chargers at Ford Dealers in Hillsborough, NH and Bow, NH. I decided to use the one at Bow NH, a convenient site on the way home. Just take the Route 3A exit at...

I was patiently waiting for EV routing integration for Android Auto and Google Maps since Mach-E Vlog did a video from 2024 CES. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q84GR6jS5kU From what I understand the Ford vehicle portion has been in place in my vehicle for months. I switched from Waze to...

Some Ford EV owners dis Ford for being so slow and cautious when it comes to OTA updates. This story shows what can happen when updates fail. My take on it, based on the tech notes about the repair, is the initial update failed and the car was bricked when it tried to execute the incomplete...

because We’ve Been Testing Them Wrong: Study https://www.thedrive.com/news/ev-batteries-may-last-longer-than-expected-because-weve-been-testing-them-wrong-study It makes sense to me because I am not driving my MME more than a couple hours every couple of days. Even when I was working, it was...

Rivian owners are finding Tesla's Magic Dock quietly disabled. Any Mach-E owners used a Magic Dock recently? https://riviantrackr.com/news/tesla-disables-magic-dock-for-rivian-and-other-evs-at-us-superchargers/

Great video of a one-of-a-kind car. Interesting banter.

I had the Blue Oval Charging Network and Plug & Charge since I had the car. I remember signing up for a trial as part of Early Access related to the charging network. I recently got an email thanking me for taking part in the trial and that the trial was over. I noticed after this that the new...

I do not know if this is a recently added feature, but I updated Google Maps on my phone and I can get information on charging stations. Maybe the new feature is you can filter on the plug type of your car. The plug type filter is not present on the website version of Google Maps. I noticed it...

I went to the New England International Auto Show. They only had a MME GT and a couple of Lightnings for EVs. No Rally Edition. I did get to sit in a Lightning and compare the displays/controls to the MME. The version I saw had both 12 volts and a 120 volt outlet easily accessible on the...

I had a problem navigating to a charger in a parking garage in Manchester, NH. Ford Navigation indicated to turn the wrong way onto a one way street and there was no other entrance indicated on the map. I went around the block and found the entrance though a maze of one way streets. I looked at...

The Rouge tour does not include the F150 Lightning assembly areas. They do have a video in the lobby. I found this video interesting with the usage of movable platforms.

I know they burn coal, or oil (sacrilege!), but I love the sound of a working steam locomotive and that whistle! Does anyone else on the forum love steam locomotives and Railfanning? My favorite engine is the British A4. There is a lot of tech used in this pinnacle of steam locomotives.

I am glad the MME has manual releases on the inside that you use everyday. I know there are manual releases, at least for the front doors, on a Tesla. But I wonder if the door releases being hidden causes Tesla owners to forget they are there. If you read it in the manual when you buy the car...

I was on the lookout for a OBD2 dongle that supported both Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and Ford MS-CAN. The result was the Vgate vLinker MC+ supporting both regular Bluetooth and BLE. Currently ABRP only supports BLE for OBD2 linking. ABRP was setup the night before a holiday weekend trip to NJ...

A long multi-part video, but I found it very interesting. I like seeing how other MME owners handle charging problems, like in Part 1. On a recent road trip I had to spend 1/2 hour at a Level 2 charger to make sure I had enough to make a DC Fast charger. I also did not realize they made a...

I made the trip out to Xenia, Ohio again this year for Hamvention. I did the trip last year convoying with three other people. One person dropped out this year, so we decided to only use my MME. I modified last year's route by going I-84 to Newburgh, NY and using I-91 and I-691 to go around...

I find this interesting because I have a 2021 ER RWD Premium (305 EPA Range), and tend to get 3.5 to 3.7 miles/kW efficiency using Engage mode. I use 3.5 miles/kW for planning in ABRP. It could be my driving style, which allowed me to get good MPG when I had a Fusion Hybrid. The reason I went...
