    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...

    Just a heads up about EvGo, Just had a few fraudulent charges

    The title says it, I am a bit OCD about my credit cards and check them at least once a week if not more. I just looked at my Discover card statement and instead of the Zero balance I was expecting it was just over 1K! and it was all done at one location over the span of two days! The phone...

    Delaware To the Rock and Roll hall of Fame

    This is going to be a slightly different kind of trip report, no play by play just the higlights and observations. First I need to say the our "Blue Meanie" ran flawlessly for the entire trip with no issues whatsoever. We left northern Delaware at six AM to avoid any major rush hour traffic...

    Coming up on one great year with my 2022 Mach-E

    It has been a great year with my Grabber Blue Mach-E! while I may not drive it much since I work two miles from home I have racked up just under 6k miles. I ordered a 2021 on May 31st which after waiting on dealer allocation, parts shortages, and the dreaded "chip shortage" it finally arrived...

    "some features may be disabled"

    I tend to listen to music on flash drives and after my last update (4.2.4) I have started to occasionally see this message. Has anyone else seen this? My apologies if this has been covered but a search did not turn up anything for me. It doesnt really bother me too much and it only happens when...

    Drive Electric Earth Day Dover De 4/29/23

    Just saw this pop up on my Faceless feed and figured I'd share. Wanted to go last year but my MME was delayed in shipping so I am planning to attend this year. Tony https://driveelectricearthday.org/event?eventid=3692&fbclid=IwAR1MoOGyf2ZVzmeLrBj1_7QvRkbxk72Y51aMnKgEknLQLiettKtYyoMha6g

    Being more alert to conditions on the road to avoid this

    While this news report is about a tesla, we are not imune to this happening to us. The news report states that the driver had "a large peice of debris" went under the car and it started smoking. Now mind you I am not poking the Tesla bear here, just saying that we should all be aware of road...

    Looking to start a list of HVBJB failures by build date

    Since there are a couple of threads already on failure dates of the HVBJB's I was wondering if a list by date of manufacture might provide a better perspective to failure rate. Pretty sure Ford is tracking this information but wont make it public and that's fully understandable. If you were...

    Driving home and about to turn into my development whe I noticed an Infinite Blue MME in the opposite turn lane. the person was waving so I waved back and flashed the lights to say Hi! Three months in of owning my MME and this was the first person who's actually as excited as I was to see...

    Finally! excellent dealer experience...But not Ford

    TLDR; While I love my Mach -E, the wife thinks its too big for her to drive (she has driven Smart cars and a Mini Cooper Convertible lately) so we have been hunting for a BEV to suit her needs. We tried ordering a 23' Chevy Bolt EV, the price was great and still had a Delaware rebate but the...

    Throwing caution to the wind, time to whoop some butt!

    While I am concerned about the latest recall (mine is being done this coming Thursday) I tend to drive like the old man that i am especially with the wife on board. Today while heading out for some grocery shopping, I kept getting hounded by some pimple faced kid in a new Mach-1. we finally...

    Finally spotted another Mach-E in the wilds of Delaware

    Was driving home from shopping and spotted a dark grey Mach-e on rt273. I didn't have a camera handy since I was driving but the wife said "its so much smaller than your car" (I was driving my Escape) Tried to get next to it to compare size but I needed to turn and the driver kept going. If...

    How can I unplug/disable the phone charging mat?

    The title says it all. I don't have and probably never will have the need for wireless charging. (yes i'm that old and rarely use my phone anyway) I do on occasion put my wallet down on the console of my current car and am worried that the wireless charging mat may wreak havoc on the credit and...

    Is your Car Off Site?

    My car was produced on 1/22/22 thru 1/25/22 and has been showing "In -Production" ever since even though all the modules are populated compared to another similar model. I am a patient man but yesterday I stopped in to the dealership to see if the sales manager could bring up the VVR to see...

    Mach-E on Motor Mythbusters

    Just saw this episode and saw they did some comparison testing with the Mach-E in different modes to determine battery usage when driven normally. They test A/C, Heat and phone charging and the effect on mileage. Tony

    While this video is in Spanish, (not an issue for me) it does show some of the inner workings at the Cuautitlan assembly plant. You may need to click the link to watch on Facebook. Tony

    1/17/22 Build Week Chat

    Looked and searched and haven't seen another thread for 1/17/22 build week so here we go! I originally ordered a 2021 Star White Premium AWD Ext back on 5/21/21 and was hoping for a 2021 delivery but at the end of September my order was "upgraded" to a 2022. That said I immediately changed my...

    2022 model interior changes?

    Yes I know its all still a mystery but I just looked up my vin on the ford tracker site and noticed the interior is now ALL BLACK on my Premium Grabber Blue. Previously most models except the First Edition had white a pillar covers and white headliner. Hopefully this is an actual change for the...

    Looking for "Bullitt" style wheels to fit the Mach-E

    As the title of this thread states, I would like to find the right wheels to fit to my MME (still waiting for) I am not a fan of the spindly looking black wheels that are popular nowadays and would love to have a five spoke similar to the Bullitt wheels that were offered on the ICE Mustangs...

    Delaware about to lose its State Rebate (ITS BACK!)

    I have a Mach -E on order with my local Ford dealer (I did not order online) and was told there was a $2500 state rebate applied at time of purchase. Well that made me quite happy and along with the expected federal $7500 available, the price for my new Mustang seemed cost efficient for me. Like...
