Quick review from my recent experience getting the HVBJB recall completed ('21 Job 1). History is that in January I had the pano roof, windshield and parking switch recalls completed at Sil Ter Har in Broomfield, CO. It went smoothly except that they missed the junction box on the work order, so...

As my Mach-E (2021 Premium, Star White) hits 20k miles, it is distinctly not a "new car" anymore and is getting its share of dings. However, this one bothers me more - the front lip got caught on a Chargepoint cable which yanked on it as I was backing out - silly mistake. I've been trying to...

So I had always assumed that my rear washer either didn't work, or that the car never had it and I had just imagined it as a feature. On all my previous cars the rear washer would spray when the front sprayed, or would spray when you signaled a momentary rear wipe from the selector. Mine didn't...

Folks - I now have 12 wheels for 1 car, which I've been informed is NOT a reasonable number of wheels to own. Therefore, the stock 19" Premium wheelset and stock Michelin Primacy tires have to go! Just a few pics to confirm that they exist - you all know what they look like. These have 4500...

Headed to work this morning it was 1 degree F here, and I saw a guy with a dead truck on the side of the road, he had his hood open and jumper cables out, but no other obvious options. I waved to him and swung around to line up for a jump. Here is where I'm very glad I did the quick 12V Access...

In my theme of trying to answer common questions about MachE behavior with actual data, here are the results of an hour long drive up the Colorado front range, with a few interesting data points logged. In particular, I was watching Brake Pressure, which tells us the pressure at the brake...

I'm taking my MachE to an EV show in Longmont, CO tomorrow, and wanted to put together a quick fact sheet to share with people. I thought it might be useful to others, so here it is in both Word (zipped for forum compatibility) and PDF. Setup for simple B&W 8.5 x 11, but it would look good blown...

I've been capturing some data files using Carscanner Pro and a Viecar ODBII reader, and while I haven't had time to really extract a lot of knowledge out of them, I've finally been successful at capturing some good data and getting it cleaned up with some Python scripts. It is now in a state...

I just installed my Torklift Ecohitch, and my 1UP EquipD double bike rack. The fit is a little close for comfort. The hitch requests a minimum of 2" of insertion after the anti-wobble bearing, which doesn't work. At 1.5" of insertion, the rack is far enough out that it won't hit the car, but...

Thanks, those are some big seats! Not to reinforce the MachE as a cool dad-mobile, but while I only have one car seat to fit I'm glad it will do well. Ours just barely clears in our Prius (and I'm only 5'7"), so things should be spacious here.

Not that these should really be necessary unless you are leaving your vehicle unplugged in cold conditions for extended periods of time, but since there has been so much discussion about it recently here are two that I'd recommend for this vehicle (and anything else in your fleet). In...

Hi folks, I just placed my order with Sil-TerHar Motors in Broomfield (in for a long wait, I know). They have a Mach-E program coordinator there who seemed pretty well versed on the options, and she mentioned two interesting things - she has a few cars coming in soon that the order dropped out...

Hi, this question is mostly from my unfamiliarity with modern cars, but I do spend a lot of time with IOT and connected automation devices. How much, and what type of data does the car share with Ford through the included cell modem? OTA updates? Location information and history? Car...

I noticed that wheel sizes are in a variety of locations and threads, so I'm compiling all the known sizes here. Let me know if you have a size I'm missing, or a correction. value only = Confirmed from a printed Ford document or a photo from a user. ?‍♂ = A reasonable estimate based on...

Naturally it isn't possible answer for sure, but is there a general feeling right now for how long we are looking at from an order of an ER AWD Premium placed in the last weeks of 2020 to build and shipment? In my case, I actually do not want a new car until March or April 2021, but I'm...

Hi, this may be a bit more of a general automotive question, but I can tell there are a lot of thoughtful people here. I've never purchased a new car before (the idea is actually a bit foreign to me) but am strongly considering a MachE reservation. I see in the build tool that there are...
