    Low Voltage Battery Replacement Timeline?

    I've also just recently started getting these same warnings that you've described on my 2021 Job 1 Mach-E that I took delivery of in June of 2021 (roughly 2 years ago). Anytime the vehicle is left unplugged for more than 2 days or so, the battery error message comes up. I've never been stranded...

    Severe PaaK issues with FordPass 4.25.0 on Pixel 7 Pro

    I can't say I've noticed any worse functionality with PAAK on Android. It's always been rather unreliable on my pixel 7, but some force restarts of the Fordpass app has always worked for me and has worked fine enough that I still use PAAK. I will say, I've noticed Android Auto has almost...

    Upcoming Competition: 2024 Jeep Recon EV SUV — First Real Life Looks

    Nothing against the Mach-E, I do love it and have had nothing but good experiences with it. But this is the vehicle that will have be saying goodbye to my Mach-E! So long as the price isn't outrageous, I will be eagerly waiting to place a reservation/order for the Recon.

    Service - Did you actually take in to Dealer

    They did a lot more for you than for me! I believe my local dealer just rotated the tires. Nothing else. It was also free though so I guess I won't complain.

    Toki got new stripes today

    Which rear light up pony is that? I've got the EV Vida rear pony that lights up red when you brake.. have not seen a rear pony that lights up white as yours is.

    A rear Pony Emblem that lights up when you brake. Plug & Play on Mach-E!

    Also purchased and installed! It looks GREAT! The second iteration of the installation video shows that the ridges on the pony are actually just a sticker and it can be removed for a very sleek looking smooth black pony. Here's a screengrab of the ridgeless pony: I haven't removed it yet...

    Underbody blast wash - safe?

    I'd go a step further and say it's not only safe, but necessary if you live in an area that salts the roads in the winter.

    Mache-E Range Dropped All of a Sudden

    Welcome to the winter months with with an EV. Colder temps will affect range and cause the range estimator to show a lower number when the battery pack is cold and/or external temperatures are low.

    Bluecruise eye tracking - does it cause headaches

    Also, you can't forget about the fact that 5G towers are causing the coronavirus!

    Lighted Pony Project (back it!)

    The Kickstarter page still gets tons of updates. And the creater has gone out of his way to help people install their ponies. In my opinion, he doesn't need to respond on this forum anymore if he doesn't want to.. he hasn't ghosted the backers and you can find updates if you look for them...

    Senate Bill Deal to Expand EV Tax Credits (7/27/2022)

    See the linked article in my comment (https://www.npr.org/2021/12/16/1061030363/senate-parliamentarian-rejects-immigration-reform-in-democrats-spending-bill). It's something the Parliamentarian has done in the past and received a lot of backlash for it. Not saying it will happen again, but just...

    Senate Bill Deal to Expand EV Tax Credits (7/27/2022)

    Say Manchin continues to support this bill, and Sinema doesn't tank it. The Senate Parliamentarian still has to approve the bill, in its current form, to be allowed to be voted on in the Senate through reconciliation. And this is something she has rejected in the past in Dec 2021 when they...

    Lighted Pony Project (back it!)

    Man does this pony look NICE! Weirdly enough, I could only get it to turn on via the "always on" wiring option. For some reason, it didn't power up when I tapped into the green/orange BCM wire. I'm going to test an alternate method that John suggested, of tapping into a brown/yellow wire...

    We have a working Frunk Button in FordPass!

    Thanks for reminding me I don't have a frunk button. I was already happily at the acceptance stage.. now I'm angry about it all over again.

    Lighted Pony Project (back it!)

    Not yet. Per the photos it looks like I tapped into all the right wires in the instructions, and I double checked all connections once I was able to get back to working the install. But I'm working with John on a solution and I'd like to echo @AlpaChino's words of encouragement. I still fully...

    Lighted Pony Project (back it!)

    I'm almost positive the battery drain was a unique problem of mine, not sure what may have been the culprit but it couldn't have been the pony. Also looking forward to seeing how the install goes for the rest of us backers, though! It was a learning experience for sure, and even though I had...

    Lighted Pony Project (back it!)

    Definitely! To be honest I didn't even know the Mach E doors could be jimmied. But yea I'd prefer to save a window breaking as a last resort so will start calling around.. Safelite just told me they'd need access to the inside of the car to remove. So that was a dead end. Edit: @Gimme_my_MME...

    Lighted Pony Project (back it!)

    Fun (not so much) updated for everyone invested! I think I may have possibly just identified why no doors will open on my vehicle, even after getting the battery charged up. When my car died last night due to the battery drain, I did not realize till just now that the BCM was left unplugged! I...

    Lighted Pony Project (back it!)

    Apologies for all the constant posts. So hooked up my Mach E to a NOCO Genius 5 last night when I suspected the battery had drained, and indeed it was. The NOCO showed a 25% state of charge. I left it overnight and just now saw it was reading fully charged on the NOCO. Disconnected it and...
