  1. My feelings on the stalk have gone from "confusing" to "dangerous"

    Since getting my 25 Premium my chief complaint/grumble has been that I don't find the gear stalk "intuitive." I have to intentionally think about whether I'm putting it in Drive or Reverse because the order just doesn't play well in my brain. Up for Reverse and Down for Drive just feels...
  2. Mach E Number 3 - Updated to include photos

    For those of you playing from home, I had a 2021, then traded in for a 2024 which promptly got totaled, and I just finally found a 2025 that was actually in stock. When searching in Florida using an Orlando zip code and doing a 500 mile search, literally it was a couple of dealers in Miami and...
  3. No 2025's for Florida, Texas, and Louisiana due to paint recalls?

    If the dealer I had a deal with is to be believed that is ... I had a deposit down on a 2025 Mach E that was due to arrive by the end of month. The dealer said Ford told them today they are pulling any Mach E being to send to Florida, Texas, or Louisiana because if an issue with the paint in...
  4. She's Totaled - What I learned about having an electric car when you get in an accident

    I had the new 2024 MachE for about 2 weeks (having traded in the 2021) when I was rammed from behind by a driver going about 70 MPH. I was driving at 45 the speed limit on a local 5 lane road. The woman who hit me was having some type of mental crisis and never hit her breaks just rammed into my...
  5. Picked up the new 2024 Friday

    Sad to see the old 2021 go, loved driving her but it was time to move on after two rounds of HVJB issues. Got the closest color match to old one which I loved so much. Not as in love with the Vapor Blue but I am digging the glass roof on the premier. Now if we'd only have a decent sunny day...
  6. Buy vs Lease?

    My 2021 is back in the shop with battery or junction box issues for the 2nd time in 2 months so I'm thinking it's time for a trade in. I've never leased but starting to think with these types of cars it might be the better option. Thoughts on buying vs leasing? Does Ford offer a buy out in it's...
  7. Round 2 of HVB issues

    Just got the car back last week after the dealer had it for a month replacing the HVJB and now it's giving me the warning lights again and having to be towed to the dealer. I'm in the airport garage this time but at least the car will start and can be put in neutral which was an issue last...
  8. No OTA's since June?

    I was super bummed when I got the car back after being in the shop for a month with the HVJB issue that no software updates were installed while it was there. I haven't gotten an OTA update since June 9 last year-the Entry made easy one. I'm concerned that the car just isn't getting them for...
  9. Warranty Part out of stock and won't be available for 2 months

    Starting a new thread on this one since the situations has had a pretty dramatic twist. Last week, had a battery issue. all indications were that it was a 12-V problem maybe the HVJB, car bricked up etc. Dealer took 7 days to even get to looking at it. Now on Day 9 here is what Ford is...
  10. Looks like I'm the newest victim of the HVBJB issue. What advice do you all have?

    Driving home from a few errands, I started getting battery charging errors, then camera errors, then finally a Stop Safely Now and then it bricked right at a red light. The whole car was dead, I guess it had drained the 12 volt as well. So I was stuck blocking a busy intersection and unable to...
  11. How do I move it when it’s died from battery fault

    I’m literally in the middle of an intersection and can’t find a way to get the car to move. I was driving and suddenly the whole thing gave a battery error and just locked up in the middle of an intersection somebody can help I would appreciate it. Tow Truck is still an hour away
  12. My first experience at Telsa Supercharger was eventful

    I was driving back from Orlando to Jax last night late and decided to try the SuperChargers at the Buckees since it is well lit and other people vs the EA charger at the next exit in a Walmart that would be closed and is pretty dark. The first thing that happened as I pulled up and opened my...
  13. This is only going to get worse until EA and others rethink charger placement in crowded parking lots

    Spring Break in FL is exposing some future issues for Electrify America and other EV Chargers with this new breed of EVs. As summer rolls in it's only going to get worse along those interstate corridors. This was my experience today in Bushnell FL along side I-75 - when I pulled in the...
  14. Random Collision Alerts

    Anyone else started getting random Collision Alerts when the car in front of you at a safe distance is turning right? And I don't mean just an annoying beep but a screaming warning sound that flashes a giant red warning on the dash like I'm about to hit someone. Which I'm not but because it...
  15. Connected Services and Plug and Charge keeps getting turned off

    Anyone else having this issue? Don't know if it's the app updating or car updates that arriving OTA but connected services and plug and charge (and this last time Location Settings) keep getting lost or turned off. It's more of a PIA than anything else now that I know what to look for but the...
  16. Disconnected by a Rivan driver at charging station

    I'm sure there is a thread about this somewhere but I did some quick searching and didn't find it so here it goes. Saturday I was DC charging at the mall and yes it was past 80% but I wasn't finished so just let it keep going knowing I'd be getting done with my manicure about the time it got to...
  17. Do you use dealership based chargers?

    Just curiosity based question, do you use the dealership based chargers that show up on maps to charge? I never have and always thought that it would at best super awkward if it was needed and the only option. I mean in the back of my mind I assume if I pulled into a random Ford dealership and...
  18. Watch out for that next OTA update LOL

    Ford's looking to put the repo man out of work https://www.theregister.com/2023/02/28/ford_self_repossessing_patent/
  19. Sudden and unexpected acceleration on Blue Cruise

    So I just took my MachE in for the recalls that were on it and when it was there, they did all the software updates and I now have Blue Cruise. On the way home, I turned on the Adaptive Cruise Control like normal, and it went into hands-free mode as expected, then went back into hands-on mode...
  20. Friends we need some MachE Hotel Charging Etiquette

    So I've been at a hotel here in Richmond this week during a lacrosse tournament and the hotel has one working charger in the parking lot but 2 of the 3 nights so far a MachE (different ones) has been plugged in and left it plugged in all night despite being fully charged by 11 PM ish. Both...
