    Warning regarding Grizzl-E charger issue

    I would suggest the OP rename this thread to something like "I had an issue with a Grizzl-e" The way it reads he is suggesting that all grizzl-e prodcuts may have the same issue. As other have written, there has been few reports of issues and all were handled quickly by the company. I...

    New 2023 with slight defect on rear passenger window molding

    I had a similar issue when I picked up my 22' MME, the left rear window had a noticable scratch that lead up to a scratch on the moulding. As soon as I told my saleperson he asked the ervice manager to come over and takes some pics and a week later I was called to bring the car in to have the...

    Are Grizzle chargers trash now?

    Not to throw more fuel on the OP's fire but not only am I a very satisfied Grizzl-e customer for over two years but I have had fellow mach-E customers in my area buy the same EVSE as recent as a few month's and not a single failure or issue with their chargers. I have complete confidence in...

    Returning the Ford Mobile Charger?

    If it was sold as part of the vehicle it can only be warranted, if sold after the fact by the dealer, it may be able to be returned, depends on the dealer naturally. Tony

    Tired of the front center speaker, need help in accessing it

    I have been doing the same for the past year and a half but lately my adult daughter has been on trip with us and I litterally need to keep the volume so low I can't make out the music over the road noise. (streets in this part of the country are horrible) I try to adjust it back forward but...

    Tired of the front center speaker, need help in accessing it

    Thanks for that info Mark, I also have tried both surround sound and stereo mode and that center speaker is louder than anything else. I should mention I do have partial loss of hearing in my left ear, but it been that way for more years than I care to remember. I am going to try some foam to...

    Tired of the front center speaker, need help in accessing it

    While I do enjoy my music slightly louder than most, that front center speaker needs it own volume control! Now I am pretty adept at modifying electronics and adding a seperate volume control for an individual channel, but I lack the knowledge of how to access the center speaker! If there is...

    Mach-E Owner Age Survey - I know it's been done before, but let's update and include new members 😁!

    I honestly was surprised by the number of us 'senior" drivers, I was hoping there would be more younger drivers on the poll. I guess the Mustang has evolved from the "Secretary's Car" to the matured sofisticated driver!

    L2 Home Charger Recommendations Please

    I also suggest the Grizzl-E, not only one of the longest cords but also one of the sturdiest and stays flexible even in cold weather. Tony

    Lets give a shout out to the GOOD dealers

    Delaware, With four Ford delaers within a half hours drive, the closest one, Porter Ford is by far the best! Got my MME at a discount, they honored X plan, and thats just the sales side! I have been to the service department numerous times over the past twenty years (this is my fourth new Ford...

    Surely you can't be 50. I am 50, and don't call me Shirley.

    I was recently told to act my age and I replied "I've never been this old so I have no idea what to do" Now at 66 and counting the body may be a bit aged but the mind is still hovering around 18! My MME is what my wife calls my "old man crisis" car, little does she know there is a EV FFR Cobra...

    How much cheaper is your insurance when going to Mach-E?

    My insurance dropped $245 per year coming from my Escape to my MME. I have used Progressive insurance and bundling everything certainly helps Tony

    Dealers Supposedly Don't Want to Sell EVs!

    Dealers here in N. Delaware are selling every EV they can get their hands on! My local dealership has embraced the EV business, they now have two full time EV tech, with more expected as others complete their training. Was just at the dealership yesterday and they had three GTPE and five...

    Anxiety about the HVBJB and 12v battery

    this past summer I road tripped from Delaware to Cleveland and before leaving I told my wife of the possibilities of the HVBJB failing. I explained what happens and what the outcome would be and her response was "Dont Drive like an a$$h0le" Great trip, non issue for me, Tony

    Charging efficiency (home charging)

    yes you will always see a difference due to the loss in the EVSE (your home "charger"). Not sure how others calculate the loss but I use 10% and claculate this by multiplying the actual number the car reports by 1.1 and that is approximately how much energy was used to charge the battery. Tony

    How do you get comfortable in the driver seat?

    I drive many different vehicles and getting it just right has become easy for me. I start with a seat position fore and aft that allows my left foot to be flat on the floor board BEHIND the brake pedal, that gives me the best position for my legs, knees bent slightly and not so much weight on...

    Level 2 chargers at grocery stores seem pointless

    our local shopping mall has 10 level 2 "free" chargers and yes there is a two hour limit but it more than makes up the electrons used to get to the mall and back. Our trips to the mall are usually two hours or more anyway since its usually just a morning out to do some walking and people...
