    POLL: Form vs Function

    Curious where forum members land on form vs function when buying a car, and specifically the Mach E. Personally, I lean towards more form vs function. My attitude is I want to love my vehicle, get a smile on my face when I see it in the driveway/parking lot, customize it to my tastes etc. The...

    What does my Mach E really cost me to run??

    So, I'm coming up on a year of ownership and I've been extremely happy with the Mach E. I sing its praises but also am clear with the shortcomings of the lacking infrastructure nationally for longer road trips, additional planning required etc. when talking to people about it. However, I stress...

    Does regen braking not work when turning sharply? (1PD)

    I had a new experience today where I was rushing back to work, and coming into the the parking lot, letting off the accelerator and regen braking (1PD) doing its thing, when I sharply turned into the parking stall and it felt like the car essentially went into Neutral and consequently sped up. I...

    Ford App: your car has been unplugged, except it wasn't even plugged in

    So I randomly got a message from my Ford App that stated something like "your Mach E was unplugged" except it was in my garage, and not plugged in to begin with. I assume it was a random error but curious if others have had that happen or not?

    Painted brake calipers on my Premium (pic heavy)

    Since I learned that the brakes on this car are actually Brembo's coupled with the fact that I thought it would look better, I decided to paint my brake calibers during the time I was taking to rotate my tires. I bought the G2 High Temp Brake caliper paint system on Amazon. The kit and...

    Is there a “service mode” on the Mach E for lifting it or otherwise?

    I’m doing a tire rotation, and painting the brake calipers. I lifted it per the instructions on jack points placing jackstands on the aftermarket Corvette, pucks that I installed. Everything is great. Then someone asked me if I put it in the service mode before doing that, and I hesitantly said...

    Question - is this amount of noise normal for cooling system?

    I'm asking because I have nothing to compare it against. The cooling system fan seems louder that I think it should be (to me). Is this what others are hearing as well? I'm fine if its normal, just want to make sure it isn't abnormal as I had a car previously with a cylinder style fan system...

    Added a spoiler - LOVE IT! (big photo dump)

    Another small improvement on the Mach E. Finally got the AOSK V2 Spoiler today and installed it. LOVE the look. Here's a series of before and after pics for anyone on the fence. I personally think its worth the upgrade, and the "piano black" matches great with the rest of the car. Up next is...

    Holy huge headlight!!

    So my Mach E just got back from the shop after some road debris flew up cracking my headlight ($1800) marking up my bumper ($1400 repaint) and chipping my windshield ($1800). I had asked the shop if I could keep the cracked headlight as it wasn't that big of a crack, and I thought I could figure...

    Is the "self parking" feature gone forever?

    So I recall when searching for a Mach E that there was a self parking feature that could not only 90* park the car, but also parallel park itself. I recall watching a video of the driver using the signal stock to indicate if it was parking on left or right side etc. My Mach E also has this...

    First "road trip" for me in the Mach E - here's my thoughts

    So I'm on a business trip and decided since its only a couple hour drive, I'd road trip the Mach E vs fly. Here's my experience thus far (I'm still on the road). Background: Bought my MME back in October 2022. The dealer was about 2.5hrs North of my home, and didn't fully charge the car, so...

    Mach E snowpe...

    Woke up this morning to about an inch an a half of snow. Had a great morning playing with the kids in it before it quickly started melting. I had just detailed my Mach E and wasn't about to get it dirty haha. Zero statement to its abilities in the snow. Too shiny ;) Happy Valentines everyone!

    Finally found a cargo net that works!!

    So I have these collapsible crates I use to store stuff, but they tend to fly around the cargo area, especially when empty. So I've been looking for a solution and striking out with the Mach E and it's lack of tie down locations, and I didn't want to put screws into the interior molding. So I...

    FS: 2022 MME Premium wheels and tires with only 300 miles on them

    I bought my '22 MME Premium AWD back in October. Put about 300 miles on the car before getting aftermarket wheels/tires, and stored the stock ones. I'm now ready to sell them and figured I'd check here for interest. Ideally PNW located. Set of 4 wheels - Premium 19 x 7 inch, 5 x 108 lug...

    Well THAT sucks!!! Bad scuff on the bumper and cracked my headlight

    Got home yesterday from running errands to find this. While driving down the freeway, heard a small "bang" which sounded like something I ran over. However, didn't see anything fly up etc. I'm guessing was a piece of tire the vehicle in front of me kicked up. Pretty bad scuff on the bumper and...

    Pre-conditioning the batteries....how?

    Sorry if this is a dumb question, still learning about this car. So I keep reading about "pre-conditioning" the battery to get ideal operating temps/performance. Is there something special I'm supposed to be doing to enact that? Or is it automated based on outside temp etc? Like do I use the...

    Anyone got a recommendation for a poster / background wallpaper of the MME silhoutte??

    I've been trying to find a poster for my office of the MME, and really like the "silhouette" (not sure that is the right word) imagery seen on the window sticker for example. Anyone have any recommendations?

    Just an interesting observation on current ADM (at least in my area)

    So, I understand ADM is a "sticky" topic for many. Opinions range, and the point of this thread is not to take a stance, start an argument, etc. but simply convey a few observations. So about 2wks ago, and after months of searching for an available (walk away customer order) on a '22 MME...

    I finally got one!! Persistence pays off!

    So this is going to be a long one, but with pictures, so hopefully that helps (or just scroll to the pictures). A few months back I decided a MME was what I wanted, then faced with the stop sale, no 2023 orders being taken yet etc. I started scouring the West coast for a customer order that was...

    Almost got one…the MME is an elusive pony

    TLDR; found one with min ADM, started 3hr drive to dealer only for it to be sold while on my way. So, I’ve been looking for a few months for a MME Premium AWD ER battery. Called every major dealer on the West coast and finally got a cancelled order to jump on after agreeing to $10k ADM...
