  1. If at a Tesla site with a v4 dispenser do you still have to take up two spots?

    If at a Tesla site with a v4 dispenser and the longer cables, do you still have to take up two spots?
  2. What was the technician trying to accomplish by running: Local Interconnect Network (LIN) New Module Initialization

    I picked my car up from the body shop, looks good but I was curious what was done for what I feel like is the over priced calibrations I mentioned in another thread. So I paid for an FDRS license and took a peek. After updating all the modules available, the TCU has a GVMS block, I looked at...
  3. What is the procedure to calibrate the radar, windshield camera, and 360 view camers?

    My car is in the home stretch of getting repaired, well everything except the right headlight which keeps arriving broken and is now on backorder. While they wait on the headlight they offered to put the old one in, it has glass embedded in it but is not actually broken or non functional, and...
  4. Does the MME have a service mode?

    My car is in for the HVBJB recall as well as a few more CSP and I am wondering if Ford can put the car into a service mode that blocks FordPass requests? It seems like someone could use FordPass to turn on HVAC and endanger the technician.
  5. Clifford hit with a hail storm of glass...

    Driving home today this happened: The glass truck stopped. I got a police report. My car is covered in nicks. The passenger headlight has glass embedded in it. The windshield is cracked and scratched up. The glass roof also has some nicks in the glass. The entire front...
  6. Ford must really want the HVBJB recalls closed out

    A couple weeks ago I got a call from the recall concierge asking if I was aware of the recall. I explained I had tried to get it done back in January but one dealership had refused to do the work and another had said they would order the part and call me to schedule. In the meantime my...
  7. If your HVBJB recall was stuck in no remedy available it might finally be available

    I have been patiently waiting to be able to get my HVBJB replaced. For a very short period of time in January the status of the recall for my car had switched to remedy available but the dealer was not able to get the part ordered before it switched back to remedy not available. Today I was...
  8. Power meter issue in non GT

    So I enabled the power meter months ago and it worked great. https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/how-to-enable-power-meter-on-non-gt-mach-e.18783/ This last round of FDRS updates I did seem to have broken it. While the updates were being applied all sorts of errors were thrown by the car...
  9. Tried two new dealers, two swing and a miss.

    My car was due for the 30,000 service. I tried calling and emailing one dealer. I got a response from the email in the form of a phone call but just to tell me someone else would be calling me to schedule the service appointment. I never got that additional call despite following up twice...
  10. How often do you plan on using your NACS adapter?

    I only DCFC 8-10 times a year. In the 16-20 DCFC sessions over the past two years I have experienced a few hiccups but nothing that prevented me from charging. I like the idea of having the adapter for flexibility but I am not sure how often it will actually be used. When I first got the car...
  11. Finally personally saw the difference between battery preconditioning and no battery preconditioning

    I had a short road trip this weekend that involved two stops at the same DCFC station, the recently added Mercedes branded dispensers at the Buc-ee's in Fort Valley Georgia. Both stops started at similar initial SOC. The first stop was without preconditioning. 32.2163 kWh dispensed in 28...
  12. My wife and kids got me a Lego Mach-E for Christmas

    It is not an official Lego product but one created by a fan, maybe someone on here? Ordering it was apparently a pain since it is not an official Lego product. The site that had the assembly instructions and parts list linked to another site where you could buy the parts. At the time she...
  13. My wife made her first road trip in the MME without me.

    My wife needed to take an emergency, around 300 mile, road trip that required a single DCFC stop to complete round trip. Last time she took a trip without me, she was traveling with my daughter and they opted to take my daughters ICE car instead of the MME. This time her choices were to take...

  15. Does your MME attract road debris?

    For the third time since buying my MME I have hit/been hit by road debris. 1. Less than a mile from the dealer, having owned the car for 5 minutes, a styrofoam cooler lid flies off of cooler that was in the back of a truck in front of me and slams into the front of the MME. No apparent damage...
  16. So little faith in the dealership service....

    I stopped by my service dealer today to make an appointment in person because I knew it would be too hard to make one over the phone. It was probably too hard to make one in person as well. I asked the service writer for several things. 1. I want the tires rotated. 2. I want CSP 22P31...
  17. Renting an EV(non Tesla) is a terrible first introduction to an EV

    I was talking to a neighbor who's kid is on a travel sports team. They just recently got back from a trip in the Richmond Virginia area. One of the other parents decided to rent a car for the trip and got a great deal on an EV rental. He opted for the EV because another parent had raved how...
  18. Is charging going to get much worse before it gets better?

    Just back from a trip from Metro Atlanta to Panama City Beach and back. Last year I made the same trip and this year I had to completely change my route because the DCFC stations I used last year were now all listed in PlugShare as broken. Even the way I went had DCFC problems. The EA station...
  19. What a difference temperature makes!

    Just returned from a 320 mile round trip in the 80’s. The 160 miles there left the car at 55%. I left it plugged into a 110 outlet for 20 hours and left at 77% for the return. We arrived home at 32%. That means we could have made the 320 mile round trip without charging and arrived home at...
  20. Things 4.2.x appears to have fixed...

    The reissue of 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.1.3 as 4.2.x is listed in the release notes as ensuring some housekeeping features are included. These are my guesses as to what features were fixed: 1. Owners manual The owner's manual app now works. 2. Intermittent connected services icon and menu I am...
