In Illinois, they’re about to roll out RFID stickers to replace toll transponders for Ipass. if you have made the switch, please let us know if the sticker works in the same black-dot area beside the rear view mirror where the transponders have been working. Thanks. BTW, please don’t...
I've been poring over numerous threads about OTA updates, and also the bunch of folks that are doing firmware updates themselves. My issue is two-fold. (1) I have no background or education in any of this, and (2) when I talk to my dealer's service manager (who is very friendly), he seems not to...
There seem to be 100 brands & models of small jump start devices, and no two "Top 10" list I've looked at have the same winners. Most devices list what size ICE engine it will turn over. If our MME 12v battery is dead, my understandings the portable jumper can bring that back to life. Am I right...
It seemed worthwhile focusing a thread for those of us in the NW burbs of Chicago who have been finding home 240 charging to be intermittent. Problems with the way the MME reacts, refusing to take a 240 home charge from the mobile charger or various 3rd-party chargers has been an issue for...
2 weeks ago, my HomeFlex was installed. The next day, my MME FE came home. I plugged it in, and everything worked. Last weekend, guys came to patch & paint the wall that the electrician had to cut into, and per Chargepoint's instructions, I turned off the breaker before unplugging the HomeFlex...
Pretty much since day 1, my FordPass app has a red alert badge in the messages section. No matter how many times I open, read and click all links in each message that little sucker won’t go away. Any suggestions for solving this first world problem?
I swear the menu items have changed since earlier today (3/7) for my FordPass > Vehicle> Manage EV menus. I wanted to ask: How do I choose settings that lock the max charge to 80% when I charge at home, and want to charge "whenever I pug in" vs scheduling a time. Earlier today, I found a...
My Grabber Blue First Edition came home on Friday. I’ve decided to name him Miles. I’m a musician, and a big Miles Davis fan. I figured Miles was an appropriate name for several reasons. Those familiar with Miles Davis’ music know his music has 3 moods paralleling the Mach-e drive modes of...
Since I have had solar panels for a year, and my new MME will be charged primarily at home (I’m a low-milage retiree), I thought I’d share what I learned about the “greenest/cleanest” time to charge. I live outside Chicago and my solar system is on a Net Metering arrangement with ComEd. This...
Big day! PPF & window tint done, so I got to bring my FE home today! And the electrician installed my ChargePoint HomeFlex this morning, just in time. I’ve seen countless photos from all around these MMEs, but the view that thrilled me was the one of the hood, looking at it from the driver’s...
The closest public charging station to my house is at a Walgreens down the street.
They have 2 Volta stations. This screenshot shows the scant available information.
I have questions: 1) Are all charging stations that say "J-1772" some flavor of AC charging? 2) Are Volta stations free–or will I...
Trouble closing hood. During my test drive, parked in my driveway, I peeked under the hood. It wouldn’t close! Called the dealer; a few minutes later, he texted me a video of him and colleague needed to really put some muscle behind throwing the hood down on a MME at the dealership to get it to...
So here’s my (somewhat cautionary—though ultimately happy) tale. Back in the summer, after ordering a Premium, I got in on the Mach Drop for a Grabber Blue First Edition. Yay! It got to the dealer Wednesday. I’m really new to most of this world of paint protection, but read on the forums about...
I’ve done very little research, so I’m crowdsourcing for a basic answer here. I heard about a problem at Tesla a week or so ago that prevented all (?) Tesla owners from being able to start their cars until the mothership problem was resolved. Is the Mach-e susceptible to this sort of problem...
From what I gather here, the 74” width is without mirrors. Can they be folded I. While driving? I think I’ll need to fold them before pulling into my garage. What do we know? Thanks!
I have ordered an Extended Range Premium. I recently had solar panels installed on the roof. It is typical in these summer months for me to use 25-30 kWh, but to generate 40-50 kWh. I'm a retired, low-milage guy most of the time, and anticipate that at a 270 mile range, I'll only need to...
I think I saw info on this somewhere, but can't find it: Which model(s) have a "grill" that is not the same color as the body? Which model(s) have the black "lip" over the wheels (vs. body color)? Which model(s) have black caps for the rearview mirrors? Thanks!
