  1. Ford Dealer Asking For EV Input

    Drive up to Walnut Creek Ford and hang out there. I drove 100 miles to buy from them, bypassing a lot of Ford dealers on the way.
  2. Faulty math article on EV v ICE

    Not most people in California, at least if they don't have solar. It's cheaper but it's not far cheaper and no way does it pay for itself compared to any decent hybrid.
  3. I had no idea Ford quality was THIS bad - Check the pictures!

    He had a GT, which costs more than a GV60.
  4. Fun with public charging (not) --

    Took a drive today. Stopped at EA on the way home as I still have some of the free charging left. Nope, wouldn't charge and the other slots were full. Looks like I could have paid for it, just wouldn't recognize what's left of the 250. I've used this location before. There was another EA...
  5. What is Ford smoking ie Blue Cruise

    I drove down 101 awhile back. It probably only worked for half the drive, about 200 miles round trip, and any time the road hit a couple of consecutive turns it shut down. It also, weirdly, liked to work near the city's and not the stretches in-between. What makes this so damn concerning is...
  6. “Keep your eyes on road” warning

    Where I put my hands on the steering wheel can block the sensor too. No problems with sunglasses. Regardless, at least for me, this is the single most annoying thing about the car.
  7. Coming up on one great year with my 2022 Mach-E

    I’m at 2,500 miles, and have some minor gripes and one irritant. The damn “keep your eyes on the road sensor”. I tend to cruise with my right arm on the top left of the steering wheel, and it constantly triggers that warning. I have a long torso, short legs, so it’s a natural way for me to...
  8. CYBER ORANGE METALLIC Mach-E Club

    it stands out in the parking lot.
  9. CYBER ORANGE METALLIC Mach-E Club

    I have the same car, got it in April too. I had a 76 Capri. It was a piece of junk but this car does kind of have the same profile and interior design. You have to stretch a lot to see it that way but I get what you are saying.
  10. Do you really use blue cruise that often?

    Well, I probably "use it" every day. I tend to let it run things when it's available. It's just that it's only available for short bursts and panics on turns. I've only had it 1-1/2 months but other than the 100 mile drive home from the dealership, and one mini road trip, it's simply not...
  11. FordPass 1/2 lost my Mach E

    Pretty much what I did. It’s back now. Wonder if the new charger had something to do with it?
  12. FordPass 1/2 lost my Mach E

    In the past when I've gone to the Home page there was a Cyber Orange Mach E. Now it says empty garage. I did log out and log in to the app because that page was blank. It does have the vehicle under the Account section. So, I click on the + symbol, enter my VIN and it says already attached...
  13. Crud, what a crappy disconnect from reality….. got an email.

    We've got MachE's on lots here in California, which is how I bought mine. More than a 100 GT's according to Ford's site (not all of those are on the dealer's lot though). And, I get that GT's may not be what everyone wants. I can't imagine paying over sticker.
  14. I've got a math question about HEV vs BEV...

    Didn't read enough, looks like someone already did this, but I'll just leave it here. Do it by miles to cost per gallon for fuel, and miles by KwH for the EV. Assuming $5.00/gal and .26/KwH. Both about right here in California. $5/55 = .09/mile .26 / 3.2 = .078/mile You can extend the math...
  15. Would you pay $75/month or $800/year for BlueCruise hands free highway driving? This will be option for 2023 Mach-E

    I really like it when it works but my daily commute of 40 miles can only use it for maybe 6 miles, and it's not consecutively. It's also not reliable. In another section, it works for about a 1/4 mile, hits a turn, shuts off, then works for a couple of miles. It's gotta get better, a lot...
  16. Ford Model E Division Lost $60K on Every Electric Vehicle It Sold in the First Quarter

    A start up can have $500M in sales, a $200M loss and be worth more than a company like Ford. It's a wonderful thing, not having a profit, it makes you harder to value.
  17. Mach-E Order Bank Reopens With Lower Pricing, Higher EPA Est. Range, BlueCruise 1.2 Hands-Free Tech

    I paid $63K for a premium AWD. At these prices I'd have gone GT Performance. But, alas, Cyber Orange is no longer a thing and I did get $7,500 so it's not all bad.
  18. Does The Charging Schedule Ever Work?

    Sounds like 120V is a no go. Thanks!
  19. Does The Charging Schedule Ever Work?

    I don't have a home charger, yet, so I'm using a combination of cheap charging and the stock charger that came with the car. I set the schedule to not charge between 9:00pm - 4:00pm, which was done based on my rate plan with PGE. Thing is, if I plug it in at 2:00pm it doesn't stop charging at...
