    The enigma that is the Early Access program

    I joined the Early Access program a couple of years ago thinking it was going to be like a beta test program. I've been the software development world for decades now and understand that a beta program has its risks along with getting software before others. It also allows beta testers to give...

    Why is there so much anxiety over 1.3?

    I have BCHF on my 2021 Job 1 car. It does the job I want it to do with regard to hands free. I love using it. Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't 1.3 only add lane change, truck cowering and additional HF during turns? Why is that something to be so anxious about? What am I missing here...

    Why you should never use wireless charging

    and why I recommend you always keep the phone in your pocket. It was July 2009 and I was driving my 2009 Ford Edge. My phone was connected to the car and I had enabled 911 assist. The phone was snuggled tightly in a phone cradle that mounted in one of the cup holders. After trying many...

    NO YAWT

    I saw a Mach E in the parking lot of Ace the other day. The driver was getting out of his car while I was returning to my car. We talked a little about our cars and I noticed his license plate frame said "NO YAWT". I asked him what that meant. I thought it might be referring to his car not...

    HVBJB question I haven't heard discussed

    As I understand it from watching experts on YouTube there are actually 3 different HVBJBs based upon features. 1) RWD 2) AWD standard battery and 3) AWD with long range battery. So, based upon that I have two questions about HVBJB failures: 1. Would it be logical to think that an AWD car is...

    The dreaded CHARGE FAULT

    I've had a Mach E for over two years and never had a charge fault. But, I've also never used the Ford charger that came with the car. My daughter has had a 2023 Mach E for 2 months and the last two nights she's had a fault error on the Ford charger (the one that came with the car). It has not...

    Question about financing

    My daughter's Mach E is in production, so says the web site. We're presuming that it may be delivered to the dealer in 3 or so weeks. The dealer says that they are no longer offering financing for the car. Does anyone have any suggestions to banks, credit unions, etc. that have the best deals...

    Why is the temp on Infotainment screen so wrong?

    Here's a pet peeve of mine. Look at the two temperatures in the screenshot. This is Android Auto. The tiny temperature in the upper right is the correct temperature. The LARGE one on the bottom left is incorrect. While it's not dramatic in the photo, sometimes it's a big difference...

    Can you help me get my window sticker?

    My daughter ordered a new Mach E. The car is on its way to the dealership but the dealer is being cagey. I'd like to see the window sticker so I have it when she goes to the dealer. The VIN number is 3FMTK3R79PMA31551

    Was there an upgrade to give me more battery?

    I know there was talk about such an upgrade. Then I noticed in early December my standard battery RWD Mach E went from the normal 205 miles on a full charge to 237. I thought, at first, that maybe the history got reset and it was giving me the ideal range. But, it's been a month and a half...

    When do my free KW expire?

    I've had my car since 4/2021. It came with 250 kw of free charging at EA. Since I charge mostly at home I seldom use it and still have 128 kw of power. So, I looked at the Ford site (see below) and it says that my "Free trial" expires on 4/27/2023. However, under the complimentary KW the...

    I took 2 weeks off of this forum and guess what happened.

    I used to come in here every day and read the new posts. I started to get wrapped up in all the complaints and the anxiety of getting the latest update. Guess what happened in the ensuing weeks. The anxiety went away. The car performed perfectly. Android Auto "Coolwalk" version got...

    Long song change delay in Android Auto

    Recently I've noticed a very annoying behavior when playing music in Android Auto. When I tell it to advance to the next song, either via the steering wheel or Infotainment screen, there's a delay of exactly 6 seconds until it advances to the next song. However, the song title changes and the...
