    Mach-E Owner Age Survey - I know it's been done before, but let's update and include new members 😁!

    A couple of weeks ago I posted an image of my car with a sign that my family arranged for my birthday, in October. That thread received, and is still receiving, amazing feedback and comments and it makes me happy to read it...

    Maintenance/Repair Manual?

    Anyone know where we can get a good electronic version of the MME maintenance and repair manual? I’ve seen some advertised online, but there appear to be some sketchy vendors out there. If there is a reputable company that offers these for multiple manufacturers/models, GREAT! I also have a...

    Coolers? Anybody? Anybody?

    This has been rattling around in the back of my head for months....and others may have posted or talked about it, but I'm going to bring it up anyway. I'm not a fan of Tesla. Yes, they have more range, better software/firmware with more features, and use space extremely well. Aside from that...

    Surely you can't be 50. I am 50, and don't call me Shirley.

    So, it's been almost 2 months, but I thought I'd share this anyway. I turned 50 in October (Yes, another older guy with an MME. But I sure as he// don't feel 50.) and my family found a company that does special yard signs to celebrate. They put them up, leave them for a few days, then come...

    SYNC Refresh Design Idea w/Current Design Assessment

    First, I love my MME. It's been trouble free for 5,500 miles, it gets complimented constantly, it's a blast to drive.... That said, the User Interface and User Experience are an inconsistent mish-mash of work done by different people (that don't appear to have talked to each other) at...

    Apple Maps to Instrument Panel Directions Issue

    So, this is a new one. I generally don't need directions around town, but I will use Apple Maps, Waze, Ford NAV, etc. for traffic awareness. Yesterday I was doing that. I entered my destination in Apple Maps and started on my way. The directions in CarPlay, on the center screen were fine...

    Temp on Infotainment Screen (Opposite of other post)

    I've noticed this. My wife has noticed this. My sons (16 and 20, not little) have noticed this. Other passengers notice this. The temperature displayed at the top of my infotainment screen is WAAAAY off. On 92-94ish degree days, it's not unusually to see it display 106-110 degrees. Are others...

    [Updated] FordPass Redesign/Dark Mode Idea

    I've had some ideas bouncing around in my head for a FordPass redesign and Dark mode. I don't have PhotoShop, so I just put this together in PowerPoint (Graphic Artists CRINGE....). The colors aren't just right for a couple of reasons. One of those is that the icons that I used for car...

    Quick EA Member Survey RE: 4.3.5 and 4.3.6

    Backstory: I was admitted to the EA program on May 26. Since then, I've received: 4.2.6 on May 30 CSP 21B36 on June 7 "Smart Changes" on June 27 With a '22 GTPE, I have not received 4.3.5 or 4.3.6 . It is possible that 4.3.6 only consists of the CSP and "Smart Changes" updates, but doing...

    Rear 275/40’s on GT/GTPE Rims

    Pretty simple question. Has anyone put 275/40’s on the factory GT or GTPE 20” rims? The diameter and revolutions per mile match the factory 245/45’s so I’m thinking of staggering and putting 275’s on the back but: a) Want to make sure that there are no issues with rubbing anything b) Curious if...

    Climate Control Heat (In The Summer Heat)???

    I've had my 2022 GTPE for almost 6 months. When I go into the climate controls, I notice that the "Heat" button is on and I did not turn it on. When it was chilly outside (live in Florida, so it doesn't get really cold), I could see the system turning the heat on to warm things up to the set...

    MyKey - What it should be... Your ideas?

    So, I'm reading a thread about a PaaK survey that Ford seems to be doing at the EA (Early Access) Cool Kids Table. (Seriously, I applied to the waiting list 5 months ago, and not a word from them. I guess I'm not cool or popular enough... :cool: ) Anyway, I start running off at the mouth about...

    Mostly Full Frunk Liner (All But Underside of Hood)

    So, I saw something like this for the Teslas months ago, then I saw this on Amazon for our MME Frunks. It appears that they are having trouble keeping them in stock as delivery is over a month out, on Amazon. Maybe this is something @AOSK could look into. Has anyone purchased this? Any...

    Mustang Clubs.... What kind of reception do/did you get?

    So, I'm thinking about going to a Mutstang Club event in Brandon, FL (South of Tampa) tomorrow morning. This one has a theme to bring a $20+ toy for charity. Apparently some of the kids are going to judge the cars. I haven't been to a Mustang Club event, so I'm curious what kind of reception...

    Let's Get Our Mach-E Siblings UPDATED

    I've posted, previously, about the 10 key-cycle method to force your Mach-E to poll Ford's servers for Power-Up updates. It has worked for me, 2-3 times, like a charm. I'll include that again below. That said, I know some of you are probably stuck, or feeling stuck with older Power-ups like...

    An OTA Suggestion... Not a Guarantee...

    First, the background. I've had my MME for 4 months. Bought it new in mid-December. Blue Cruise Hands-Free would not work. Maps were out of date. They expired before I even bought the car. Called BEV support. They made what seemed to be a crazy suggestion. 10 Start Cycles. I'll detail...

    More Efficient Energy: Usable Superconductor Found!

    (Disclaimer: Yes. This article is behind a paywall. I'll explain the jest of it.) "U.S. scientists say they have produced the first commercially accessible material that eliminates the loss of energy as electricity moves along a wire, a breakthrough that could mean longer-lasting batteries...

    Is there an "Easy" Subwoofer Upgrade?

    I've seen many comprehensive sound system upgrade threads here. Most, if not all, are more than I want to dig into. - I don't want to pull wires, take the interior apart, risk breaking clips, losing screws, etc. - Smart or not, the idea of playing with the electrical system in an EV, risk of...

    A Wind Noise Cause and Resolution

    I've had my MME GTPE since December 17, 2022. It was built October 17, 2022. Being my first EV, I know the types of sounds and their volume would be very different from all of the ICE vehicles that I've had before. In my experience, the car was quiet, comparatively speaking. Some wind noise...

    Windshield Durability???

    2 Months into MME ownership and my windshield is peppered with chips and nicks. I'm driving the MME on all the same roads that I've driven on for 25+ years. The same roads that have not had the same impact (pardon the PUN) on a Lexus RX400h, Nissan Pathfinder, Hyundai Tucson, Mazda MPV, Mazda...
