OK, so TPMS.com shows Schrader 33500 as one of the possibilities for a 433MHz sensor for the 2025 Mach E. What's the difference between this and a 21098? Except that it's much cheaper, which is nice.

Neither Tire Rack nor TPMS.com (recommended above) list a 433Mhz sensor for this application - in fact neither of them show a sensor for the 2025 Mach E at all, just "2021" matches. I really hate to pay $60+ each for the Ford part...does anyone have a cross reference?

Last summer we picked up a set of Michelin X-Ice mounted on new wheels from Tire Rack, and tucked them away in the garage until the snow fell this year for use on our 2025 GT. First problem when I went to put them on the car was that Tire Rack had sent a set of lug nuts for the wrong stud size...

I swapped out the nuts on my lightning for some higher quality 1 piece ones but they required a 22mm socket instead of 21mm / 13/16. Have been meaning to swap the ones on our Mach Es but we have aftermarket wheels for our snow tires that already require a thinwall socket with the stock nuts...

You probably wanted to tag @Ford Motor Company (yes, with the spaces, weird huh?) not @fordmotorcompany. Hopefully Brian who is not an AI can help!

I've only seen a QuickJack in person once (they had a demo at my local Costco a few years ago) but I don't see any reason to think the blocks can't go anywhere within the minimum and maximum distances given by the spec sheet for each model - are you asking about the distance between the two...

Oh, fantastic! Thank you! That makes it easy, all the TLX and ELX models will fit with "room to spare" and I can even probably get away with the TL after reconfirming that distance for the Lightning, which measured out to somewhere around 58-59" when I checked it hastily last night.

The blocks (or truck adapters, or pinch weld adapters, all depending on vehicle) on a QuickJack can be moved to any distance between the "minimum lift point spread" and "maximum lift point spread" for each model. Given the minimum on their shortest model is 27" and the maximum on their longest...

After years of dithering I might finally buy myself a QuickJack for Christmas. Every year as I start swapping the snow tires onto our 3 vehicles (Lightning and 2X Mach-E) never mind my parents' (they aren't getting any younger but they still drive around a lot in the winter) and the occasional...

I regularly drive a 2024 Premium and a 2025 GT. Ride quality in all seating positions is better in the GT. It's not just a question of stiffness - the magnetic suspension in the GT provides ride quality even though it is stiffer when it needs to be. It also, in my opinion, provides better...

We go back and forth about whether the rear seat ride is better in Engage or Unbridle mode in our 2025 GT but either is better than Whisper and all modes are much less vomit-inducing for backseat passengers than our 2024 Premium. I have heard that the Rally is more comfortable still but it...

And again @Ford Motor Company this is what the combination of unhelpful dealers (as always: some dealers are really good! But too many EV customers are stuck with dealers who aren't!) and Ford's newfound hostility to independent techs and shade-tree mechanics using the official diagnostic tools...

Not true. Tubeless mountain bike tires run sealant all the time (like, you add the sealant for the first time when you mount the tire) and when there's a puncture too large for the sealant to handle (usually manifesting as a very slow leak) you can plug or patch them just fine. My local...

Sure, monetary consequences for a gigantic corporation that can easily get more. But no human being will go to jail. It's the magic criminal liability eraser: nobody is driving the car. And of course it's not just criminal. Waymo and Cruise cars break the rules of the road in ways that would...

This has an even worse smell when considered alongside Ford's increasing hostility to knowledgeable owners or other non-Ford technicians trying to address these problems when Ford can't or won't. I'm pretty sure it is just one hand of the corporate behemoth not knowing what the other one's...

The only thing that gives me hope about this is the "at this time" in the bulletin. Reading the rest of the language in the bulletin one could easily conclude updates for these vehicles had been stopped forever, including any OTA that includes an APIM update. I wonder if this has anything to...

Except that as we've amply learned from Waymo and Cruise so far, no human person will ever be held accountable for the harm their vehicles do, whether it's running over a cat or a person. That's why they would *rather* not even have a "safety driver" in their cars. If the executives of these...

Connecticut in particular has a number of odd little differences in its driving laws. There's the yellow light thing and the prohibition on passing on the right - which has been modified since I learned to drive there 40 years ago, and now depends on whether there are 2, 3, or more travel lanes...

So, help me understand: you are describing exactly what I described: that moving the right scroll wheel sets the maximum speed for FSD (which is not the same thing at all as the older Autopilot behavior of setting a target speed), but somehow I am wrong? This feels suspiciously like the kind of...

The user adjusts _maximum_ speed and FSD does what it will. Unless that has changed radically since we got rid of our Y last spring.
