Super easy trip and the charge...

    Incorrect & slow-to-update ambient temp???

    Has anyone else run into horribly inaccurate and slow updating ambient temp readings? While its normal for a car to take a few minutes to adjust my MME has developed the infuriating tendency to be insanely wrong AND refuse to update. 18500 miles on the car and had it for year now. This is...

    Amazing bonus range after OTAs!!

    After receiving three OTAs this weekend I was amazed to see my range has increased more than 40 miles on my 4x. Sure wasnā€™t expecting that resultā€¦great job Ford! Just in time for spring road trips. Itā€™s gotta be the updates, right? Surely temps in the 70s donā€™t have anything to do with. šŸ˜‰ Yes...

    i4 M50 test drive

    I got to be the first person to test drive my local BMW dealer's new i4 M50 demo this morning. Car had 8 miles on it and we had to remove the plastic covers from the seats before taking off. Quiet and composed on the highway made it significantly more comfortable than our Mach E. The MME...

    Post-21p22 and the DCFC taper cliff.

    I got the 21p22 update a couple of weeks ago. Today was my first time to DC charge since then. Was expecting the improved taper but saw no evidence of it. Chargers were 62.5kW Chargepoint units. Saw a max of about 75kW but hit the cliff at 80%. Was there an update that ā€œdidnā€™t takeā€?

    Any serious autocrossers here?

    As a long-time SCCA autocrosser Iā€™m wonderingā€¦are there are any other serious autocross folks on here? It would be great to hear from an experienced driver who has had an opportunity to run a GTPE at a real competitive event as opposed to some Ford corporate outing. Or even one of the other...

    Instrument panel display blacking out due to heat?

    Each of the last two days we have had temps in the low 90s. Leaving work yesterday the instrument panel was blacked out but resumed working after a stop & restart. Today the display would blink on for about a second before going black, and did this for about 15 minutes of driving. My guess is...

    L2 charge rate experience?

    Picked up a Mach E on Thursday and loving it so far. I tried searching the forum but didnā€™t find an answer to this question. In terms of miles added/hour of charging, is it normal for the Mach E to charge slower on L2 than other EVs? Specifically, at home I have 240v/40A which was good for...
