I knew about the residual when I leased the car and considered that as a option at lease end at the time. What I didn't, know, nor did anyone else at the time, how fast and low the value would drop.
Thanks for the fantastic insight on what I was about thinking as options. However your crystal...
I have the RS EQEV with 21" wheels. It sits a bit higher off the ground than non 21" versions. Also I should have said that it's easier to enter for my wife, who is shorter than I, and had to bend down to avoid hitting her head in the Mach-e. 😜
Hello and goodbye! My lease expired and I chose not to pay the ridiculous residual to acquire it.
I switched to a Chevrolet 2026 Equinox EV RS. It much better suits my wife and mine aging bones and so far has been fun to drive, much quieter, smoother over the bumps and easier to enter.

Great to hear that your Ford dealer took the time to investigate this issue for you and made the necessary repairs. Thanks for the heads up to look out and recognize similar issues!

Yep, I agree with @AngryMan that you may need some additional wifi support to cover the garage reliably. I have other wi-fi needs in my garage, so installing an extender for my Deco mesh system was a no-brainer and simple!
If all else fails, I'd reinstall the Ford App. @Mustangor posted the steps recently:

Good luck! ?
While it is undoubtedly an AI Bot, I found it to be helpful. It did take a minute or so to provide my 12V SOC, but that was not unreasonable. It will also check in on its own every month or so to see how things are going, which can be helpful without being too intrusive. It's not useless imho.
