    My FordPass App opinions after a few charges

    Indeed. I should have made it more clear that I'd like to see total energy in a charging session as well as an indication that the charging session is actually 'working'. On a 120V charge, the App shows 0 kWh for the first 30-40 minutes or so... I'd like it to show that the charge is 1.2 kWh...

    My FordPass App opinions after a few charges

    Forgive me if I come across as too naive or too critical. On first glance, I noticed several things that seemed, well, odd, regarding the fields on some of the FordPass App screens. In my prior life, I'd open a PR;) This post is meant to be Constructive Criticism about the screen(s) and...

    I was told yesterday the wait is 24 weeks. Seriously?

    Just to finish this thread with an update... We ended up buying a demo yesterday from a Charlotte dealership. Other than color (Rapid Red) and mileage (2015), the car met our requirements; MME, ER, RWD. We were Ok with the 2,015 miles vs. waiting until, potentially, 2022 for the car we ordered...

    Bipartisan Charging Bill

    Sorry, I provided the original bill's link. The reintroduced bill, S.975 - Securing America's Clean Fuels Infrastructure Act, is supported by two Rs and two Ds and the text is equivalent to last session's bill and was introduced 3/25/2021.

    Bipartisan Charging Bill

    I am all for the charging bill which extends Subsection (g) of section 30C of the IRC. Realize, though, that 26 U.S. Code § 30C - Alternative fuel vehicle refueling property credit does not apply to property installed on/at a personal residence. For a business installing a DC Fast Charger on...

    Buy a loaner / test drive unit

    I have the same "opportunity." Other than the color, and the car being at the other end of the state (which isn't really a big deal), their car meets my needs (premium, RWD, ER.) One thing I am not clear on: are they selling these loaners with from 2K to 6K miles as new or used? It may not...

    I was told yesterday the wait is 24 weeks. Seriously?

    I've only seen one "used" car for sale, a standard, SR that I wasn't interested in (I'll wait for what I want.) I believe it was at MSRP with about 2.5K miles on it. I don't know if dealers sell the demos as used or new. From what I've seen (total of one car so far,) when they become...

    I was told yesterday the wait is 24 weeks. Seriously?

    This seems to be the case. For the features I'm looking for... Premium, RWD, ER... I am hoping for someone who ordered to cancel. Then I need to make the decision, potentially if the dealer holds firm, to accept the $5K ADM or just wait until the end of the year.

    I was told yesterday the wait is 24 weeks. Seriously?

    We started with Carbonized Gray (or its substitute), Premium, RWD, Extended battery. That's what we ordered, and our selected dealer accepted, last weekend. For existing inventory, we are flexible on color but not the rest. Many of the VINs don't show on the tracker, but do show on...

    I was told yesterday the wait is 24 weeks. Seriously?

    I (or my significant other) have contacted about every dealer in a 150 mile radius. I think we are at 11 now. At least where I am (central NC) the "advertised" cars end up being what some dealers have referred to as "mannequins", meaning the ads/cars are there for sales leads vs. sales. Maybe...

    I was told yesterday the wait is 24 weeks. Seriously?

    I realize a lot of Mach-E potential customers have been waiting a long time. It's May 25, 2021, six weeks until the end of 2021Q2. Ford's latest 10-Q (quarterly SEC filing) filed a few weeks ago, under "ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of...
