A Tale of Two Twelve-Volts. My 2021 XR Premium's 12v is still fine after 38K miles and 3 years of Ford Options. Despite the car running flawlessly over that time, I'm returning it due to the balloon being higher than the car's value. So instead I leased an Ioniq 5 SEL AWD last month for the...

This makes me feel better about my plan to 'jump ship' in January, when I'll return my Mach-E (end of Ford Options) and switch to a tiny-frunked Ionic 5 with native NACS port & 800v architecture.

Yes, as it isn’t blocking a sensor and has auto-braked in the past.

Thank you…although my plate, mounted with a Sto n Sho holder has been on since 1/22, evidently it had moved or been bent the slightest bit, which I didn’t notice, but the cameras certainly did! After re-centering and tweaking the corners to make the plate flat again, the beeping stopped. Thanks...

Recently my ‘21 Premium XR started emitting a collision alert beep every time I stop, even when there are no vehicles around me. Has anyone encountered this? I’ve cleaned the sensors and camera lenses, but this made no difference.

We use the frunk every week when my wife and I go grocery shopping. Everything we need fits in it, and after pulling in to the garage, everything is up front and close to the door, making unloading a breeze. It's a small feature that we truly appreciate.

Certainly the lack of eligibility for Federal incentives isn't helping, as leases aren't for everyone.

Ford, please stop with the 'special editions,' where the core of the car pretty much remains the same. The Mach-E needs a REAL update! In evaluating the EV competition out there, the following are a few observations of mine. With the Mach-E, @Ford Motor Company hit the mark on many aspects...

My unsolicited addendum: Announce and get the Mach-E Inflation Reduction Act-compliant ASAP. Give the car a better ride, please. My wife's XC40 has much better manners when driving over bumpy roads, while the Mach-E bounces over the bumps. This shouldn't be that hard to fix. Offer a...

I got it too, jumped on it and ordered. Maybe it will help to chill out my wife for road trips! ?

Ditto on thank you for doing the legwork on this! I haven't needed a Tesla destination adapter until now, so your detailed summary on avoiding the "Wild, Wild West" crop of no-name adapters is greatly appreciated! My Lectron is on its way!

No, as another member did so, producing ponies via a Kickstarter.

Those factors, plus with interest rates higher, financing is far more expensive than it was a year ago. Market adjustments will happen, as dealer lots fill, and the ADM trend becomes impossible to sustain.

I have the Curt hitch, and yes, kick to open works, but it’s much more temperamental, and often takes multiple kicks to get it to open. The good news about the Curt is that I can also open the hatch with my Küat rack mounted and folded up without bikes loaded.

I’ve tried both sides, and got it to trigger from the right side of the hitch after about 10 kicks! Not very usable…

I highly doubt it, as I trust my mechanic 100%...he's an old pro, and quite meticulous. He told me he spent extra time on the cutout, just to get it perfect; so I highly doubt he cut any wires.

Mine, after Curt hitch installation, unfortunately does not work any longer. Damn!

I just had a Curt hitch installed (for my Küat bike rack), and no matter where and how I kick, the tailgate will not open. It worked flawlessly prior to the hitch, and I use it every week when returning to the car from my hockey game, when I'm carrying my equipment and don't have a free hand...

Mine has not faded or degraded in any way so far. As for the ‘look,’ I had to correct an admirer of my Premium when he asked me, “How do you like your GT?” :)

Thanks!
