  1. Charging best practice--extended absence

    If I'm going to be away for three weeks, how should I handle charging for my car? I'm planning on charging to 90% and leaving the car plugged in the entire time (Older JuiceBox Pro as the EVSE, in case that matters), but checking to make sure this is correct.
  2. Mystery windshield wipe at start-up

    Well, at least it's a mystery to me, but my MME--on occasion--will do a single swipe of the windshield when I start-up. It only happens outside, it doesn't do so when I start the car in the garage. Even then, I haven't been able to figure out a pattern--sunny, overcast, third Sunday of the...
  3. Where is the love?

    I've had a handful of brief random MME sightings so far, but I have yet to see another one in the two weeks since we've had our car. That is, until today. Driving down a 4-lane street while in the right lane, I see another Mach-E coming up in the left lane! Yes, here I go! I slow a bit as he...
  4. Leaving on the AC when not in the car

    Just shy of two weeks in and haven't figured this out...is there a way to leave on the AC when exiting the car? I'm coming from an i3 and when I turn off the car, a menu item pops up asking me if I want to keep on the climate control, which is super convenient when you make a quick stop...
  5. Just used the online purchase option

    Got the e-mail this afternoon that our car was in and I jumped on the online purchase form in the event that the $2500 Ford Options incentive goes away on July 7. X-plan pricing, $500 deposit, incentives, credit app--all went surprisingly smoothly with one exception: it didn't include the $1500...
  6. How many computer chips in a car?

    For those non-technical folks like me, can someone tell me roughly how many computer chips there are in a modern car? My naive assumption was there was a handful, but after reading various chip comments here, I think I'm likely waaaay underestimating how reliant a car is on processing power...
  7. That elusive MCA membership card

    Joined MCA last November to get X-plan pricing. Upgraded from a regular membership to a digital membership in March when it appeared that was necessary for X-plan. At that point, I realized "hey, I never got my membership card" so I e-mailed the "National Office Manager" to ask about having one...
  8. Tracking Orders for Dummies

    I ordered our MME on 2/22 and last month received a production week of 5/23 and I've subsequently been "tracking" my order on the website. I did manage to get my VIN by following the instructions to extract it from the info Ford site, but when I put that into the Mach-E Tracker Tool, for the...
  9. So I've ordered, now what?

    I put my my MME order in last month but when I read read here about various post-order interactions with dealers, it makes me wonder if maybe I shouldn't be doing something. (I don't know what, but...something.) Here's where things stand. I e-mailed the dealer to see if: 1) my deposit was...
  10. Touch screen visibility with seat moved up

    After test driving the MME, my wife commented that she thought the touch screen was difficult to see from her driving position. As background, she's five feet tall so her driving position is pretty far forward. She wished that it was angled more toward the driver. It wasn't an issue in the...
  11. Salesperson low-to-no knowledge

    I went for a test drive today of Mach-E...on the way there I told my wife I expected to know more about the car than anyone we would speak with. But they may have actually come in below those low expectations. I was assigned the "expert that knows all about the car." The first thing I did in...
  12. Test drives in the time of covid

    I'm sure there's variability among dealers, but I'm wondering how test drives are handled with the virus. Other than masking, what precautions are taken?
