  1. Hands free tailgate

    My 2025 MME in Premium trim has power liftgate but seems to lack hands free with a kick Capability. The screen doesn’t show a toggle off option so I’m guessing it’s not there. Does that sound right?
  2. What to do w/ 2 versions of Ford/Tesla NACS adapter?

    I contacted Ford by email and actually got an immediate response:
  3. What to do w/ 2 versions of Ford/Tesla NACS adapter?

    I actually received the shorter adapter in mid-November 2024. Are only the adapters shipped in June subject to recall?
  4. What to do w/ 2 versions of Ford/Tesla NACS adapter?

    Thank you, Pat! I definitely did not receive a recall notice or a return label from Ford.
  5. What to do w/ 2 versions of Ford/Tesla NACS adapter?

    As a result of leasing a couple Mach-E vehicles over the past few years, I've just received a second Ford/Tesla NACS adapter that is bigger and longer than a smaller adapter that I received from Ford about 7 months ago. (The two different versions are shown side by side in the attached photos)...
  6. Ford Power Promise: 29 days from delivery to L2 power at home

    Thanks, I wish I could just get the credit but I'm a Ford retiree on a one year lease plan so a credit/lease reduction is not available. Another reason I would prefer the credit is I am hearing that the existing Charge Station Pro is not compatible with vehicles with an NACS connector (which is...
  7. Ford Power Promise: Your Electric Journey, Enhanced

    Thank you both for your replies. This is unbelievable. Ford is selling, even giving, customers a charger that will be obsolete in a year or two on new Ford vehicles?!
  8. Ford Power Promise: 29 days from delivery to L2 power at home

    Thanks for your report. I was also surprised that I couldn't order the basic Ford Connected Charger but had to order the FCSP to get the Ford credit. I called Ford to say that I wanted the Ford Connected version but Ford said that the amperage could just be switched down. Can anyone confirm...
  9. Ford Power Promise: Your Electric Journey, Enhanced

    Do I understand this correctly that If we install the Ford Charging Station Pro now, it will not work with future Ford vehicles with the NACS (Tesla standard) connector? Isn't this a show stopper for those us who will be getting Ford vehicles in future years that will have the NAC adaptor?
  10. Ford Power Promise: Your Electric Journey, Enhanced

    I saw a couple references to Ford vehicles switching over their connector interface in 2025/26 to NACS (to enable access to Tesla network without an adaptor, I assume). My question: if I get the Ford Charge Station Pro now and I get a new Mach-E in two years, will the charger station not work...
  11. Hallelujah! Ford offers 2nd key FOB!

    I got my Mach-E two years ago, so I hope recall letters aren't that far behind.
  12. Hallelujah! Ford offers 2nd key FOB!

    Ford is doing a Customer Satisfaction program to give a second key FOB for free -- and even to reimburse owners who bought one on their own. See letter attached. It takes an hour or so at the dealer.
  13. Wildly inaccurate nav routing

    I've been getting some ridiculously inaccurate route recommendations from the vehicle NAV/GPS recently. Yesterday, coming home to Irvine from LAX, the GPS told me several times to get off the 405 highway and basically drive around the local neighborhood. Finally, once the GPS settled down on...
  14. No prompt to enter backup start passcode - Update: FIXED

    I've gotten all the software updates but as of February 2023 still having the problem of the backup passcode prompt not appearing -- sometimes. PAAK works and the backup passcode works at times. But of course the one time my wife needed it in a crisis, the prompt didn't show up. In this...
  15. Lessons learned from trip: Irvine, CA to Tahoe

    I also started adding lunch places to the spreadsheet. I would note that the ABRP software doesn't always give you all of the available waypoint options for nearby restaurants. I only saw fast food places listed by ABRP online but when I got there or used Yelp I could find other restaurants...
  16. Lessons learned from trip: Irvine, CA to Tahoe

    I thought I'd return the Tesla adapter in hopes that by the time of my next trip I would have access to the Tesla superchargers, which I read won't require an adapter. Anybody hear anything new on Tesla Supercharger access for non-Tesla owners? I read the pilot project from Europe would be...
  17. Lessons learned from trip: Irvine, CA to Tahoe

    I just completed a round trip from Irvine, CA to Lake Tahoe, CA, a bit over 500 miles each way. Details on the trip are in the attached Excel chart. First I thought I’d summarize my lessons learned. Blue Cruise The hands free feature (coupled with adaptive cruise control, lane guidance and...
  18. Elevation -- effect to battery usage?

    Lee: thanks so much for this link and patient explanation.
  19. Elevation -- effect to battery usage?

    Sylvain: thanks for the info. I followed your ABRP link and it said in relevant part: " As soon as you move fast enough, ABRP will switch to driving mode and display a graph of the next route leg including elevation and expected battery State-of-Charge % (SoC) together with estimated arrival...
  20. Elevation -- effect to battery usage?

    Thanks everyone for your input! This forum is amazing. I didn't realize that braking regeneration on the downhill can restore so much of your electric charge. Do I understand correctly that the re-gen will restore almost all of the charge that you lose on the uphill? If so, my challenge...
