Here an interesting story. I was at a stop light that has two lanes that can go through. But the right lane ends just past the light, so people like to get in the right lane to go "fast" past the slower traffic in the left and merge in ahead. i wasn't in a hurry, so I was 3rd in line behind...

I just picked up an OBD II dongle to see how things looked "under the hood" so to speak. I've got about 18k of miles on the car, for the first 18 months or so I charged mostly with level 1 and level 3 charging (about once a week of level 3, but every night at level 1). Now I have a level 2...

So I finally got my car back. By my calculations the car was in the dealer for about 11 weeks, of which only 1 week was 'active' service time. The rest was waiting for parts (3 parts, 2 weeks, 8 weeks, and 1 or 2 days). HVBJB replacement was standard, no problem. The surprise was the main...

So I went in for the HVBJB fix, then I believe after replacing they got the P0a0C code. (HV saftey interlock). They then replaced the Main Battery harness (after much waiting), and now have replaced a control module. All of this to no affect. Any ideas? My dealer has reached out to Ford...

So as I previously reported, I brought the car into the dealer to get the HVBJB replaced. No problem, took about 2 weeks to get it. Once they started replacing it they determined I also needed a main battery harness. At that point another Copis ticket went in, and now I am just sitting...

So just before the holidays I hit the dreaded HVBJB problem. No worries. The dealer has been pretty good to me. They did a copis order for a new HVJBJ for the GT, and 2 weeks later, presto. I'm expecting my car back soon. Now they are telling me that as part of replacing the HVBJB they...

So it's time to swap out my summer tires for winter tires in new york. I went around to a few places and there are no tires available (snow tires) in the 20" 245/45R20 sizes. Soo...What to do? Is this a difficult size to find snow tires for? My mechanic suggested blizak 235's. He said it's...

So I will be taking the pony on a trip from buffalo to lexington. Any words of advice on charging? Apple Maps says I can make it, but I worry going through the wilds of eastern ohio :-) Mike

So I was pulling into a parking spot the other day, and I was turning the wheel and my palm accidentally pressed the cruise control (blue cruise) button. I wasn't going more than 10 or 15 mph, but it set the speed anyway. Then when I took my foot off the brake (with one-pedal drive turned on)...

Here's an interesting software problem. I go up to my car, I open the back door no problem (I have the dongle in my pocket, but also my cell phone I assume it's using the dongle, not the PAAK). I put my backpack in the back of the car, then close the door and click the button on the front...

I have an iphone 11 pro, and I noticed that when I am connected via wireless car-play my phone does not charge very fast (if at all), and tends to heat up considerably while driving. this morning I turned off wifi, and did the same thing I normally do (play podcasts) with bluetooth while...

So I'm using the Ford supplied charger at 120V (because I'm lazy and haven't put in the charger). Previously I owned a Chevy volt, and didn't have much of a problem, but I believe that it supplied 12amps of current at 120V. I'm wondering if the Mach-E doesn't pull 12amps, but rather pulls...

Is there a way to insert a charging stop at a specific point in a trip? I did a 350 mile trip into NYC, and it planned a stop about 1/2 way that would get me into Manhatten with about 15% battery remaining. But what I really want to do is stop about 30 minutes out side of NYC and get about...

So it finally came. I ordered in October of last year, and the latest outlook from ford was for end of June, but it showed up 25 days early. Not sure that says good things about their tracking system, but I stopped by the dealer last night before they prepped it to check it out, and it looks...
