  1. Charging “beta"

    Starting back in early ’22, we joined a charging perks beta. In a nutshell, MachE reports to Ford the SoC, target SoC and departure time, Ford communicates to the Utility (Xcel in our case), the utility determines optimal (for them) charge windows to Ford, Ford creates a schedule for the MachE...
  2. Anyone ever get this sort of message? (Vehicle access request)

    I don’t know who Stephen is, and our Car’s not named “Stephen”. Admittedly, our MachE was technically used (it had been a dealer’s personal car) … but that was well over a year back …
  3. What part is this?

    Unclear how our kids broke this (or is there just a small bit missing?)
  4. What is the part number/best source for the frunk access panel fasteners?

    I'm down a couple, I think I'm only responsible for one ... at most ... but more appear missing ;<
  5. interesting failures, just after the last sw update

    My wife noted yet another sw update "success" (apparently a repeat of 4.2.1?). Unfortunately, just after noting that in quick succession: Shift system malfunction (not trying to get into Park, just powering up the car). Leaving it powered down for 5min, and then well over an hour didn't clear...
  6. MachE equiv of LeafSpy?

    Attached is a sample page (same page, different timestamps) of LeafSpy. The particular sample car is a bit problematic, Nissan's "Health O meter" rates the pack as 10/12, LS computes the battery "State of Health" as 74%, but even with 90% charge, there's a bunch of "weak cells". It also has...
  7. Anyone else sign up for the Xcel/Ford "charging perks" program?

    Purportedly, the program allows Xcel to manage grid load by leveraging Ford's factory access to download a charge schedule based on Xcel's load capacity. This seems like a fine idea ... but There's no useful way to report bugs (neither Xcel nor Ford support staff seem to have any clues, Ford...
  8. Valet mode ... and "MyKey"

    So, valet mode from PaaK or using passwords only, generates the temporary key as expected. But the valet gets to drive up to 80mph. Not that we're likely to let valets touch this pony, but if we were ... I think I'd like to limit them to more like 30mph ... but I'll be darned if I can figure out...
  9. 12v battery

    Wondering if anyone has tried small capacity portable batteries (e.g. amazon ) for the "jump start" situation (anyone measured the load on the 12v system? while driving?)
  10. Ambient lighting not working

    New to us (slightly used) GT with the performance package, the ambient lighting seems nonfunctional (or, I'm a dufus and haven't actually turned it on). Here's a wide angle shot. Seems to me, orange light on highest setting ought to be visible ... instead the car is dark. What am I missing...
  11. Pulsar charger vs. Ford Connected charger

    Anyone know of a detailed comparison? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08H3PPJXY/?coliid=I2CX948045986N&colid=2FGP9XMH1ODJC&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it&tag= Our Mach-E remains in limbo (order confirmed, but no VIN generated) but we live in hope, so are starting to looking into tweaking our garage.
