    Did Something Kinda Stupid Today…

    Your pass code needs to be at least 10 digits so just make it your door entry pass code twice. Now you only have to remember one code but I still like the idea of setting up a monthly reminder to use it.

    Goodbye 1st Edition, Hello Mediocrity

    Here's my suggestion (from left field). Get the F150 Powerboost (Hybrid). Sure it's not full electric but it hauls that family of 5, runs your house during power outages with 7.2 Kw built-in inverter, plenty of storage in the back for whatever you need and the mileage isn't bad. Good luck.

    Coming soon: BlueCruise 1.3

    I got the letter from Ford (and a note in my Ford online acct) telling me to make a dealer appt. to get (Optional Product Improvement Program 21G01. Blue Cruise) for my 21 Red Pony. Since I use WiFi to get OTA updates at home and I have functional Blue cruise already I wondered if I really need...

    Mach-E seems to be ignoring or overriding charge settings

    What I have found at times is that after a over the air update the default user of my vehicle goes to "guest". In guest mode it always (my experience) reverts to 100% charge. I turn on the car after my ford pass tells me about the latest update and make sure I'm in "me" mode.

    First round trip drive to work in my new MME

    You must have drove downhill both way's. Kind of the opposite of grandpa walking 5 miles to school uphill both way's back in the day.

    Powering your house from the Mache battery?

    I know the lighting is advertised to have this capability. Has anyone done it with the electric pony?

    Got my first electric bill.... share yours

    I retired in 2019 so I have some 401K dough to spend. I withdrew from the 401K to pay for the solar. My 401K withdrawl triggered a tax liability for me and I used that liability to claim my tax credit.

    Got my first electric bill.... share yours

    This is simplistic but true nonetheless: Go Solar because....Cost of system out of pocket was $26,000 (10KW) Tax Credits $11,760 (NYS and Fed). Cost now $14,240. I save $200/mo on electric bill and $100/mo on gasoline (with my EV) I save ~$3600.Yr. 14,240/3600=3.9 years for system payback and...

    Could this be true or is it a gag with the MACH-E EV

    I'll bet ole Tom knows exactly what he's doing with that advertising, he's just got a little PT Barnum in him and can't resist.

    Ford Connect and over the road charger issues and questions.

    Hello LB. Thanks for the tips. My wife is from Herkimer so we go out there from time to time. I've stopped at the Mohawk welcome center in the past with my gas buggy. Nice center. I downloaded the charge point app and used it with success at the Scotia DCFC. My one try with EVgo in Troy...

    RR FE - POWERTRAIN FAULT - Update 3/26 - Issue Identified

    Friday morning update: After chores this morning and after reading an inordinate amount of these threads I mapped out a course of action. To start I looked at the Ford Pass app on my phone and lo and behold the Powertrain fault was gone. I went to the Pony and started her up, no fault, all...

    RR FE - POWERTRAIN FAULT - Update 3/26 - Issue Identified

    I got the dreaded "A Powertrain or four-wheel drive fault has been detected" on my app. The car say's "Service Soon". I was trying to charge at a DCFC (Juice Bar / Energy Bar) that doesn't work with my MME. It did work for the Ionic parked next to me. When I finally gave up trying, unplugged and...

    Ford Connect and over the road charger issues and questions.

    Thanks for the reply Shutterbug. It does look like I may have overpaid for an underperforming charger. Maybe they'll come out with a "patch". I can only hope. In the end, it does charge at the rate advertised but it would be nice to have the WiFi capabilities. As for the battery and...

    Ford Connect and over the road charger issues and questions.

    1)I have a strong nest WiFi signal in the garage. Nevertheless I lose contact with the Ford Charge Connect every day at some point. I have to reconnect by using the charge connect app, enter the station ID and code. All my other devices stay connected. Does this have anything to do with recent...
