  1. Thought I was going to cut it close driving back from the mountains…but…

    0% lol (seriously). It did drop down by 1% after about 15 miles of driving, but then it went back to the same % charge until around 25-30 miles of driving.
  2. Thought I was going to cut it close driving back from the mountains…but…

    So I thought I’d be cutting it very close on range driving back from the mountains in CA, but apparently driving didn’t consume any battery for the first 30 miles. It was strange too because while it was generally downhill, it was rolling hills where I spent at least half the time driving on...
  3. OTA Mach-E DC Fast Charging speed and threshold increases coming this winter

    Seems like they could include a software program that monitors when you’ve exceeded 90% threshold (of the full non-buffered battery) and then prevent you from exceeding it again for a certain # of days, like not for another week or two or whatever they think is necessary to protect the battery...
  4. Ceramic Coating. To coat or not to coat?

    I did ceramic coating to mine in February for the first time ever and I’m so glad I did! It stays so clean and all I need to do is spray it to get it all clean. No sponge or other contact needed to get it clean. Even bird droppings fall off with ease. And even when it has a layer of dust it...
  5. Pano roof - why all the hate?

    I live in San Diego and have been driving my first edition for 6 months and I love the pano sunroof! It’s been very sunny the vast majority of the time I’ve driven it and haven’t felt warm or uncomfortable from the sunroof at all. The only difference I notice is that it’s brighter in the car...
  6. California Why no round trip option?

    So one thing I wish the “trip planner” feature had was a round trip option. I live in SoCal and there’s some trips I want to take that look iffy in terms of whether there’s sufficient charging stations to get me there and back. Often times the trip planner will get me there with 10% battery but...
  7. First Edition, worth it?

    I’ve had my Mach E (First Edition trim) since mid February and I’ve had absolutely no problems with it at all. No quality issues. No electrical/mechanical issues. No performance issues. No charging issues. On the other hand, it’s such a fun car and it’s a blast to drive! So for me it was very...
  8. Plug-in charging with chargepoint

    Update: it was definitely a glitch of some sort. I never got charged for the charge, but today the charger is back to requiring an activation step. I just wish I charged more than just a couple dollars worth for a topping off before a long drive.
  9. Plug-in charging with chargepoint

    Could be, but I doubt it. We had to link our chargepoint account to our local utilities account (for electricity in our unit), so the EV charge goes to our utilities account. The HOA presumably could decide to have the charges go to them for payment instead but I haven’t heard anything about...
  10. Plug-in charging with chargepoint

    I’ve been using my condo’s ChargePoint chargers since I got my Mach E FE in February and I’d always have to use the app or a card to initiate charging, but today it automatically started charging right when I plugged it in. I’m guessing that’s due to an app update or OTA update? Love it! Anyone...
  11. What is your occupation?

    Patent attorney (mostly biotech) at a large international law firm.
  12. Finally a Sighting in the Wild

    I went almost 4 months driving in SoCal with mine before seeing another one in the wild…then I saw 3 in the last week…no other grabber blues though ?
  13. Ford Pass not working after last update

    Thanks! iPhone X. I tried restarting it without luck, so I’ll try uninstalling/reinstalling. Thanks!
  14. Ford Pass not working after last update

    I haven’t been able to open up Ford Pass in about a week. Whenever I try opening it, it gets stuck on the initial Ford screen for a few seconds before crashing. I’ve been hoping that once there’s a new update that may fix it, but I’ve also been thinking about uninstalling and then reinstalling...
  15. 2 trips in a row with BAD directions from Nav!

    My worst nav experience was when on a 250 mile road trip it wanted to make me drive an extra 100 miles and over 2 hours more just for a particular charge station for no apparent reason, despite this being in SoCal where the 250 mile trip involved passing literally dozens of ElectrifyAmerica...
  16. So, President Biden is here at the Rouge right now…

    Wait…he’s still allowed to drive? ? Watch our pedestrians…
  17. California Clean Air Vehicle Decal

    Regarding properly applying the 4 stickers, I have never even ONCE seen a car with the stickers properly applied, and I see at least a dozen cars with those stickers every day in SoCal. I sent in my forms for it 2 months ago but I’ve not yet decided if I’d put on the stickers or even if I’d put...
  18. California Clean Air Vehicle (CAV/HOV lane) stickers - Has anybody received theirs yet?

    This gives me hope that my application hasn’t been lost. Mailed mine in 2 months ago. Check still hasn’t been cashed.
  19. GRABBER BLUE Mach-E Club

    My apologies to the long mile line of cars behind me at the Del Mar, CA drive-through vaccination super station who had to wait an extra bit because every healthcare worker there came over to gawk at my GB Mach E when I rolled in... ??
  20. California Clean Air Vehicle (CAV/HOV lane) stickers - Has anybody received theirs yet?

    Is everyone planning on placing the stickers correctly on their bumpers as instructed? I live in SoCal and see countless EVs with stickers every day and yet I’ve never once seen an EV with correctly placed stickers, at least based on the locations instructed for the current stickers (two small...
