    Post here if you have an active FDRS account and are willing to look up info for others

    Supposedly my Dealer completed FSO 21P22, Software Calibration Update yesterday. However, the Service Ticket just said "Sofware Update". So, I am concerned if I actually got the 21P22 update. Could someone be so kind as to check 3FMTK3RM7MMA08223?

    Los Angeles Charging Questions

    Many of the major employers here in Southern California have Level 2 charging stations at their place of business. Also, many shopping centers have Level 2 chargers. So Level 3 isn’t your only option.

    Can't deal with the bouncy ride anymore after two weeks with the Mach-E. What do I do?

    I hear you. In my case I would spend the 4K if there was a general consensus that it solved the problem, not that it just helped it.

    More Newbie Qs 😬

    Make sure the charge cable plugs are firmly inserted into the charger block. I had this problem when I first got mine.

    Fender trim: Painted or Wrapped

    Thanks. Is there a part number for the finished trim in OEM gloss black or do you have to buy a primed trim piece and have it painted? I didn't see one on the Tasca site. I need a right rear trim piece.

    Fender trim: Painted or Wrapped

    Do the fender trim pieces just pop off? I have a scratch on one of mine and want to replace it. Any idea on how much they cost?

    How do I get the dealer to update my car? A guide on what to say!

    I haven't had any significant issues with my Mach e so far so I am waiting to do 21B02, 21B36, and the roof and windshield done at the same time. Also, supposedly 21B02 and 21B36 are supposed to be available as an over the air update later in 2022.

    How do I get the dealer to update my car? A guide on what to say!

    My FordPass shows a 21B02 Software Calibration Update and a 21B36 Phone as a Key Update but not the 21P22 update. Do you think I will need all three? My build date was 12.20.20.

    Axle clunk

    I have what I would describe as a dull clunking sound at speeds of 20-35 MPH. It sounds like the right front but can't be sure. I don't notice it on a slow roll or at higher speeds. Also, the sound isn't associated with turning the wheels or with acceleration.

    Is there a carpeted mat for the rear luggage area from Ford?

    My Premium Mach e has a carpet mat so one must be available from Ford.

    "Volume" Knob Uses

    I completely agree that it is difficult to set temperature with the slider when you are driving. Consequently, I always use the Voice Activation Feature. Just push the button and say “set temperature to ___”. Using the radio knob would be more difficult than current Voice Activation.

    When is a puddle light not a puddle light?

    It never rains here in So Cal so I’m happy with a “Pony Projection “ ?

    My Ford Dealer sold me $5000 premium maintenance plan, is it Worth it?

    I hate to be blunt but your dealer is a crook. If the dealer will not cancel, contact Ford directly. I am sure Ford would not condone this type conduct from one of their dealers.

    SoCal Ford Dealers (got any recommendations?)

    I did not have a good experience with Airport Maria Ford. They tried to upsell me on exterior and interior protection programs, and didn't initially offer the $1500 or $100 rebate. I eventually got it straightened out but it was a hassle. I bought mine in February so maybe they have gotten...

    The California List.... available rebates and programs

    I applied for the rebate 3/3/2021. I received notice this week that my application was approved and I should receive my $2,000 check within 90 days. So, assuming you applied before 4/22/2021 you are looking at 5-6 months to get your rebate. If you are applying after 4/22 you are put on a wait...

    Plug and Charge Working!! (was avoid plug and charge for now)

    I had been trying to turn off Plug and Charge and had the same problem you had turning yours on. I got in my car and turned it on and Plug and Charge turned off right away. So, it appears being in the car with the car on does indeed help.

    Dealer issues, could use some advice

    My dealer tried a similar tactic re extra cost items that I didn't want. When I threaten to complain to Ford, they dropped the extra charges.

    First OTA update for Mach-E coming March 18 tomorrow

    Really OT but can someone tell me what the symbol at the top of the screen and just to the left of the wifi signal means?

    Ford giving Mach-E owners additional 250kWh complimentary DC charging - total 500kWh

    Last Update: I finally received my $1000 rebate today. The rebate is in the form of a Mastercard Debit Card. I had a little trouble activating the card because they needed the case number, which hadn’t been given to me. Once I chased down the case number I was able to activate it. Also, my...
