  1. Preconditioning doesn't happen when car reaches intended charge level

    I believe you need to leave your charger plug into Mach-E in order to preconditioning your car. When leave unplug, mine wonā€™t preconditioning even I have previously charged up to 85%. Mach-E no longer draws down your battery to preconditioning your car. Once itā€™s plug-in, it will precondition...

    Regarding saltwater comments, how does the road salt on the streets during winter time in snow states affect the Mach-E underbody / battery in the long run?
  3. Post here if you have an active FDRS account and are willing to look up info for others

    Appreciate any assistances with the look up. Received back-to-back letters from Ford regarding 23B50 and 23V687. Given parts for the 23V687 recall is not widely available yet, I prefer not go to dealership multiple times. Can someone please confirm whether 23B50 OTA is completed for my car...
  4. HUGE Safety Issue - 1PD - "Drive Mode Not Available"

    Iā€™ve experienced this for the very first time late last week. Was driving on the highway, the ā€œ drive mode not availā€ msg popped up then I noticed 1PD regen stopped working when I let go of the gas paddle.

  5. After your current MME, What is your next EV?

    Porsche Macan EV for the 800V charging architecture and hopefully not as a bouncy ride for in town driving. Also a Model X for cross country road trips - leveraging the seamless charging infrastructure. No more ICE.
  6. Dealer says I need new rotors

    If you truly need new rotors, I would suggest looking for slotted cryo-treated rotors. Way more durable than non-crypto treated rotors. Also may consider ordering from TireRack / Discount Tire online then have the local Discount Tire shop install them if you donā€™t have tools to DIY. Unless...

  8. ROAD TRIP MUST READ! 1 pedal driving: BAD Destination chargers (even Tesla) GOOD

    So after reading this post, I decided to go for a test drive on the local interstate highway here in the Twin cities. I used BC without 1PD first and felt the car was just gliding smoothly along the highway. Once 1PD was turned on, that smoothing gliding feeling went away. Felt like regen was...

  10. Black Film for White MME Front Grill Area

    For your reference. I have a GT model, so it came with the black grill. I think the dead bugs are more visible than other colors. Often had to manually wash the front after a night drivešŸ˜­šŸ˜­. My car was ceramic coated and I regularly applied paint sealant, so dead bugs do wash off easily.
  11. OTA in “Not Completed” status

    Searched the forum but couldnā€™t find any suggestions. My last 2 OTAs ended in Not Completed status. Even in such status, I was able to receive 4.2.3 a couple weeks ago, however, it ended in not completed as well. Also, I am not able to perform a manual update as a follow up to finish the...

    It all depends on your road trip habit. Do you prefer driving to your final destination as soon as possible or rather to break up the trip to multiple legs with long stop. If you have ample of time and don't mind searching for a working DCFC, facing possible long charging time, and don't have...

    You need to save the ChargePoint station at work as another charging location in your Ford App. (Under the Preferred Charge Times setting). Once the Ford App recognizes the location, you set max charge level for the location. It will stop charging once it charge to the desire setting.
