  1. Front Camera Fault & Pre-Collision Assist Not Available Errors

    I've had similar problems and have paid to have it fixed with new hardware. It still didn't work properly. My warranty had expired because I had over 36k miles. So I received the December message of pay $600 for 3 years (or other payment options) of Blue Cruise or they shut it off. It's shut...
  2. Ford has formed LATITUDE AI with 550 member team to develop future automated driving technology

    I like Blue Cruise but at the moment, it is dangerous in my Mache. If I'm on a divided hiway traveling the speed limit and in the middle of my lane, it will come on and rapidly move towards the right side of the lane. It makes no difference if there's a big rig, a small sedan, or the area next...
  3. No more road trips with our Mach-E. A 2 hour drive to Joshua Tree turns into a 3 hour drive.

    Call the motivation mutual. I get motivated by others whether they run a mile or a hundred. I'm not sure if you're familiar with the race. It's called "A Race For The Ages" (ARFTA). One mile course as many times as you can. Start times are based on age. One hour for each year starting at...
  4. Best Driving Mode for Long Trips

    Others have answered the question but here's a bit of real world data. I have a 2021 MME Premium X RWD with a rated range when purchased of 300 miles. I have made several long trips in California where I drove in excess of 320 miles without charging and still had about 15 miles of range left...
  5. No more road trips with our Mach-E. A 2 hour drive to Joshua Tree turns into a 3 hour drive.

    In September of 2021, I drove my MME RWD Prem LR from San Jose, CA to San Diego. Left early afternoon and ran into traffic so stayed in a hotel overnight. We were there for a wedding reception. The morning after the reception, Labor Day, we started the trip to Manchester, TN where I was...
  6. Model Y vs Mach-E (after price drops) -- value comparison by Motortrend

    I have a 2021 Premium LR RWD MME which I got 3/3/21. I didn't do an actual range test where I ran the battery down to zero but I did take it on a 334 mile round trip one day drive last February in CA. I charged the battery to 100% the night before and decided to see if I could do the trip...
  7. Considering purchasing a Mach-E…

    I didn't check where you were located until I saw this post. My dealer is The Ford Store in Morgan Hill. It's quite a ways from Santa Rosa but it's another possible place to find everything that you found from the East Bay dealer. I used Ford Options, X-Plan and there was no ADM and they'd...
  8. Considering purchasing a Mach-E…

    I got my Mach E on March 3. It's a RWD ER Premium edition. I'm at 14,747 miles as of today. This month I did a trip of over 5000 miles from the Bay Area to San Diego to Tennessee and back in 13 days. The car worked beautifully on the long drive. I found three problems with charging. I...
  9. Does anyone actually love their MME?

    I'm in Northern CA. RWD X in space white. A little over 9000 miles since we got it March 3. Will be leaving for San Diego Labor Day Weekend and then on to Tennessee. After a short stay in TN, we'll come back to San Jose. We also own a Subaru Forester and a one year old Motorhome with a Ford...
  10. MME wins real-world range test vs. 9 other BEVs

    I have a LR RWD Premium and have taken it on many long range trips. The latest was a trip from San Jose, CA to Manchester, CA ( about 200 miles up the Northern California coastline). It had a little bit of city driving, about 90 miles of freeway driving and about 90 miles of country highway...
  11. Bolt Outselling Mach E

    I'm not sure it's the "final fix". A news report from Vermont and on the Chevy Bolt Forum states that the car caught fire while being charged overnight in a state representative's home garage July1 and was recently given the "final fix". I guess it's up to 6 cars now.
  12. Bolt Outselling Mach E

    I can't disagree with you on the software and App glitches but I'd like to point out that the Bolt's software does not have all of the functions of the MME. For instance, the Bolt only allows you to use your phone as a backup to get into the car or lock it. It can not be used to start the car...
  13. No longer car less!

    I'd agree with the "friend of a guy my cousin knows". I have the Premium ER RWD and it's plenty fast out of the parking lot into the street. I've also found that people who like to speed up to prevent me from merging into the lane they're in can't. I can get up to speed in the faster lane...
  14. Drive Mode Poll - Which Do You Use Most?

    I like Whisper with 1PD. I feather the throttle when slowing down and it's pretty smooth. I've tried the other modes, of course, but found it harder to keep from lurching while using 1PD. Plus, I'm very happy with the acceleration in any of the modes. Vomit is just not my idea of a good...
  15. This forum is giving me cold feet…

    I received my Premium RWD March 3. I can't say there have been no issues with the car but every single issue has been minor. PAAK is one of those minor issues. But I expected it to be an issue because of this forum. The only time I take the Fob is when the dealer says he needs it to check...
  16. PAAK Software Update for Phone-As-Key Bluetooth Connectivity Issue (CSP 21B36)

    I can think of another reason to do this at the dealer and not as an OTA. Dealers have put a lot of money into the transition to electric vehicles. Electric vehicles are not expected to be as profitable on the service side. This may be a way for Ford to pay back the dealers that have invested...
  17. Wish List for OTA Changes/Enhancements

    If they break my window unnecessarily, and there's a message saying the dogs are fine, they will be liable for the damage. The jurisdiction in which the cops are stationed would also be liable for damage that occurred due to the cops if they don't have probable cause. Or at least I would file...
  18. Wish List for OTA Changes/Enhancements

    Dogs are pack animals. Owners are part of their pack. Absence by an owner can be tough on them. The more they are included, the better they adapt to the demands of the alphas (the owners) in the pack. My dog has been known to cry for long periods of time and to wait by the door until I get...
  19. hey, I have a car!

    I gotta say that after traveling from San Jose, CA to the Chandler, AZ area and staying a week, then traveling back, quite a few current mustang owners stopped me to talk about my car. Not one showed disdain for the car. They all showed some kind of admiration for it. In addition, I ran into...
  20. Dealer Fee for MachE in inventory

    I didn't pay an ADM at the Ford Store in Morgan Hill, CA. I'm very happy with the sales people in that store. This is the first dealer of any brand that I'm willing to recommend. They aren't perfect but I've found that they're responsive to feedback. I pre-ordered mine so you'd have to check...
