UPDATE: California CHP has said there will be a 60-day grace period during which they will educate owners but not cite them. "During this 60-day window, drivers with a valid clean-air decal will not be cited for driving alone in the carpool lane." This sounds to me like they might pull you over...

The NHTSA informed me that my 2022 Mach E is may be part of this recall, but Ford's systems don't show it (yet). (Spoiler: It isn't) EDIT: Note this is not the "Powertrain control module and secondary on-board diagnostic control module c software update" recall. That one is (confusingly) 23S65...

(EDIT) TLDR: If you want a less harsh ride and don't mind your Mach E being raised somewhat (depending on trim), get these springs. The installation is doable at home with the right tools, but unless you really know what you're doing and have someone to help, get it done professionally. Also...

I just received an email (seemingly) from TeslaTap announcing the release of a new TeslaTap product called the SuperTap. I say "seemingly" because the URL is teslatapinc.com rather than the umc-j1772.com through which I ordered my TeslaTap Mini back in 2022. Here's a screenshot of the email...

EDIT: I attached a STEP file with the 3D model. A word of caution however: I've not printed this version. I wasn't 100% happy with the version in the photo below and to fix the issues I need to make substantial rebuilds of the model. So I recommend if you do want to use the model, verify its...

In order to help me design stuff for my Ford (Tesla-made) NACS to CCS Adapter, I created a 3D CAD model of the adapter. It's definitely not perfect, but it might be helpful to those of you who would also like to design stuff for the adapter, so I thought I'd share it here. Please note that this...

Frunk Lighting I am not a big fan of the OEM light in the frunk. Its location inside the frunk tub means that if you keep a lot of things in your frunk like I do, items close to the light can easily shadow items further away. So I decided to add lights to the underside of the hood. I chose...

This is odd, but ever since OTA 6.4.0 was completed, when I unlock the car the driver seat moves to my wife's seat position, even though my profile (which is associated with seat memory #1) is selected. If I then press the #1 button on the door, the seat moves into my position. I've tried...

I was asked if I would try to design a jack pad that could be installed permanently at each of the jack points on the Mach E. The goal is to make a pad that will fit with (hopefully) most floor jack saddles and can be left on the car at all times. While I've not made samples, I have made...

TL;DR: Cargo tie-down rings for the front area of the cargo area will soon be available for purchase for $75-$100 (possibly lower, depending on total number of orders). These are not OEM. They are custom designed to function identically to the OEM brackets and fit on the mounting studs that are...

Just watched the video in this article. The Fisher Ocean One owner is very positive regarding the car. (Personally, I'm not at all sold on the price or looks.) One odd thing I noted was the 499 counter for the activation of the Boost mode. I'm not sure what that's about, but it makes me wonder...

This post may apply for all PG&E customers, but especially to those who get their electricity generated by a community power generation company but delivered by PG&E. This is my situation in San Francisco and while PG&E has rate plan calculators that provide comparisons for differing rate plans...

UPDATE: I just arrived home with 32% SoC. All’s well. (@Mach-Lee recommended that I stop the preconditioning since - paraphrasing - the priority should be getting electrons into the battery, not making the battery be in a condition to accept more.) Thanks to all who replied! I’m at an Airbnb...

Does anyone know if there is any utility in the shift knob rotating past Drive (clockwise), or Park (counterclockwise)? I ask because it's happened to me a few times where I accidentally rotated clockwise to shift the car from Drive to Reverse rather than counterclockwise. Obviously this is user...

@MyLittlePony2022 made a modification to his MME, adding strip LED lighting to his cargo area. He wired the LED strips to the power and ground of the C489 connector (for the side lamp module in the cargo area), and since the power to that module is always on (until the car times out), he added a...

Back in January I ordered a 2022 IBSM E4X Premium. In March I bought my IBSM GT off a lot (so to speak) but I've kept my original order just in case. My original order was converted to a 2023 Vapor Blue in August. The car is built and awaiting shipment by convoy. Ford estimates it will arrive in...

Has anyone else experienced that your MME's charging schedule seems to not understand the change from Daylight Savings Time to Standard Time? My MME should have started charging at 8pm this evening, but as of 8:55pm it still wasn't charging. I checked the settings on my phone and confirmed...

I recently noticed that in FordPass Vehicle/Charging/Charge Settings/Preferred Charge Times/[location] there is an option called Recommended times: If I select it, I get this screen: …but I’ve not been able to figure out anyway to actually have something useful result from it. There’s no place...

Edit: Updated title to reflect Ford's recall number rather than the NHTSA's campaign number. I signed up for recall NHTSA notifications for the Mach E and got an email today about this. It's a limited recall to up to 1,175 cars built in July and may have been a contributing factor for the...
