I live in Illinois where front license plates are required. I took delivery of my car at 10 pm on 6/30/21 because it arrived on the last day of the month and they wanted the sale for June. Needless to say, in the rushed delivery, they didn’t install the front license plate bracket. I found it...

I live in Chicago and hadn’t seen a Mach E in the wild until two weekends ago while walking down the street. Then I saw one while driving two days later. They’re on their way.

https://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/departments/vehicles/license_plate_guide/electric_vehicle.html In Illinois, the electric license plates used to be $18 a year compared to $100 for ICE vehicles. This year they increased the ICE vehicles to $150 a year and the EV license plates are $250 a...

I ordered my Mach e December 2020 and received an email mid February with a build date of the end of May 2021. I think they wait and release around 3 months of build dates all at once (multiple people posted that received an email with build date on the same day). Likely you will have a while to...

Something I just thought of. If your 12V battery is not dead, your car is parked at a store while you’re inside, and you have something valuable stored in the frunk, can someone use a battery to open the frunk and take your things? Or does using a battery to open the frunk only work if the 12V...

I submitted an update with the build date for the spreadsheet.

I ordered my Mach E Premium AWD ER on 12/23/21 and received my build date today of 5/17/21. That's 5 months from order to build date. I'm happy to wait, but I wish Ford would communicate this timeframe to the dealers so they stop telling people they'll receive their Mach E 12 weeks after order...

The X means eXtended range and the 4 means AWD. So Mach E X means RWD extended range.

I think the Mustang was named after the P-51 Mustang airplane and I think that’s where ground speed comes from. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_P-51_Mustang

Like this. It just ends at Minneapolis. Or none down I-55 from St. Louis to New Orleans. I agree the DCFC are for road trips, not filling up day to day in your city.

I grew up in Missouri and agree it’s not flyover country and deserves more. However, EA is only rolling out chargers in select cities. For example, in the 5 boroughs of New York City (not metro area, just city) with a population of 8.49 million, there’s only one charger that’s in queens...

I just wanted to say you’re a Saint. I read that you work for Ford Credit, but you’re spending all of this time on the side helping people (in addition to your regular job) and it is so nice. It’s refreshing that good people are out there. Thank you from all of us.

It’s been 6 weeks since I placed my order and no build date (not as bad as the almost 4 months for you with no build date), so I called my dealer 2 days ago. They found the order and he said, “oh this looks different, I’m not sure. Let me talk to my manager who knows more and I’ll call you back...

There’s an order from the end of December with a build date in February and and order from January with a build date of March. It’s very frustrating that some people get an immediate build date and others wait for months with no build date assigned.

I stand corrected.

I don’t think it determines the speed limits with cameras. I think the navigation knows the speed limit based on which road you are on. For instance, my 2012 Ford Focus with no cameras but it has navigation and will display the speed limit on the map. You can see a white box that looks like the...

I think this video is great in general if you want to watch the whole thing. He uses the adaptive cruise control and lane centering starting at 16:40 if you want to fast forward. He even talks about what happens if you change lanes without using your turn signal while lane centering is on. Enjoy.

I like the idea of paying based on mileage. However, if we’re trying to charge the people who over time damage the roads, we need to charge freight trucks. With their heavy loads, they contribute significantly to road wear. And they find ways to register in states that are cheaper or not the...

We're going to need the additional stations. GM announced they have plans to only sell zero emission vehicles by 2035 (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/29/business/general-motors-electric-cars.html). We currently have 1.6 million BEVs in the US and 286 million ICE vehicles. So in theory, we would...

I also had seen that the FCN was complimentary for 2 years, but it doesn't say what it will cost after 2 years. Since we don't really know the benefits (other than using one app to pay for charging locations from different companies), would we even want to pay for FCN when it's not complimentary...
