  1. Positioning requirements for using Tesla Superchargers

    I decided to check how the Tesla supercharging experience will be this morning. I stopped by an empty supercharger. It turns out you have to position the Mach E very close to the supercharger to have enough slack in the cable as to not stress the adapter and the charging port on the car...
  2. AM Radio on a ‘23 MY GT

    After the 6.8 and 6.13 updates when I start the radio app the lowest number AM station shows up. However only FM and Sirius are choices up top! Because of this, the only way to get to AM on a consistent basis is to scan to a station you desire and then make it a preset. In theory these arenā€™t...
  3. Hotspot enabled seemed to cause a CarPlay connection issue

    Normally wireless CarPlay works on my ā€˜23GT with my iPhone 12 Pro Max. Recently it didnā€™t. Turned out I left the hot spot on due to a Comcast scheduled outage. When I turned off the hotspot, all was well. Anyone else notice this?
  4. Hoping the best MachE / Lightning software engineers were not laid off today.

    We need these teams to be incentivized to type and test faster! Hurting their morale is a real bad idea! Now if they fired the person that came up with the driving mode names, that makes perfect sense!

  7. Thinkware U1000 kit from Ford Accessories parts question

  8. Owners manual is finally in the glovebox!

    Itā€™s great to have a physical copy!
  9. Would a NACS retrofit allow V2H?

    If so, Iā€™m in. I would normally complain about ditching the CCS connector, but I have seen those of small frame struggle with them at public chargers (EVSEs). Iā€™m thinking the best solution is CCS on one side and NACS on the other. And if one of the charge port doors is open, the other is locked!
  10. Increase range on GT for long trips

    Besides driving at under 65mph on adaptive cruise control and keeping the AC offā€¦ if I swap to different wheels and tires, can I approximate the range of. CA RT 1 or Premium AWD on a base GT?
  11. Navigation Bug?

    I used the factory NAV on a trip from Silicon Valley to Los Angeles. Factory Nav added two charging locations. I charged before the second location. However the Nav did not reset to skip the second charging location. I ended deleting the trip and starting over. Is this a bug? Love the big...
  12. Where to buy new factory OEM parts?

    Iā€™m looking to purchase a new rear bumper (one with sensor holes) for a ā€˜23 GT. dealer quoted me just under $1K for an unpainted one. Iā€™m used to discounted new parts dealers for my other cars. Does this exist for our Mach-Es?
  13. Ford pass confused as to when charging will complete

    Itā€™s been way off lately. Anyone else? It thinks it will take way longer to charge than it actually does. This is off of a 4 year old Clipper Creek level 2 charger in the garage.
  14. iPhone doesn’t get hot anymore while charging

    I had the Apple Maps GPS positioning go nuts after a couple hours. The phone was on the charging mat and very warm. I was using the standard Spigen tough armor case. I switched to the Spigen MagSafe Tough Armor case. The iPhone 12 Pro Max does not become hot while on the charging mat...

    Putnam Ford in San Mateo, CA called me today to see if I was still in the market for a MachE. They have 22 new ones in stock at MSRP. Luckily I received mine last December 22.
  17. Front license plate WITHOUT drilling holes in bumper

    From Sto and Sho out of Morgan Hill, CA. They make them for GT and non GT models. A little pricey but we have license plate readers here for the express lanes. My net cost is the frame minus the cost of the express lane transponder which I did not have to purchase.
  18. Latest Graphene from Adam’s Polishes
