    My May 21 Job 1 Mach-E no longer gets OTA updates automatically

    My May 21 Job 1 Mach-E no longer gets OTA updates unless they are forced by Ford to everyone. My car has not received an OTA updates or phoned home to Ford to get any since it got a failed OTA in September 2022. Yes it is connected to my home Wi-Fi. I have tried setting up scheduled times for...

    Considering selling my Mach-E

    The Mach-E has been hands down the best EV I had had the privilege to drive. The range is very good and the performance is fun. What is not enjoyable is that my the only dealer within 60 miles of my home treats me like I have the Black Plague since getting the Mach-E. Every time I schedule an...

    Stop lying about BlueCruise being delayed because of safety issue

    I have seen several posts with members spewing safety nonsense. This is not only false, it is a lie! It is misinformation that muddies the conversation that amounts to a bunch of white noise that less informed readers have to sort though, and may actually start repeating. It is toxic...

    Beware Ray Schultens Service Dept.

    Ray Schultens Sevice Dept. in The Dalles does not like or want to service EVs. They claim it is because they have only 1 trained EV tech right now. I have had my MME for 6 months and I have asked 4 times for a Service Tech to check errors my car was producing and odd behaviors while driving...

    Multiple errors when wet

    I had a very wet drive home tonight in 257 miles of mostly hard rain. Several times during the trip the IACC, Lane Centering and Pre-Collision would all shut off with the error "Sensor Blocked" and they would not restart even after turning off the ACC and turning it back on. I stopped the car...

    Lane Centering Fails

    Is anyone else having an issue with Lane Centering failing after 30 or 40 minutes of driving freeways of long stretches of highways? Mine will stop working and I have to stop the car and shut it completely off to get Centering to work again. My dealer said the hardware is good and the are...

    Mach-E vs California Deer

    My trip was going pretty well until I got 460 miles from home and a California Deer ran across the road into my car. I was on the brakes and swerving to avoid the creature but we could not avoid hitting it's left shoulder. The dear was stunned and recovered but the Mustang was not so lucky...

    Concept before the Mustang Mach-E

    This was the original Ford all electric vehicle concept prior to Ford adding the Mustang name to the platform. After the Mustang name was added, the entire concept project was rebuilt into what we have now. And I'm glad Ford did it!

    Last few days have been painful

    Guess I needed some more time off because three days ago herniated the L4-L5 disc again in my back. It has been a very painful few days, and it is part of the reason I use hand controls in the first place. My Mach-E will need to sit for a few more days while things settle down. If I have been...

    No Pedal Driving - How a Wheelchair Driver Controls a Wicked Nice Mach-E

    Since I have mentioned it before but have not shown it yet I thought I would give everyone a look at how someone that uses a wheelchair can drive a wicked nice Mach-E. This is the Veigel Classic II Right side hand control. It controls throttle by twisting and brakes by pushing forward. Reminds...

    BlueCruise/Co-Pilot 360 and the Law

    In the USA only Level 2 Autonomous Operation is allowed. Level 2 requires the driver to be alert and ready to drive at all times. This means, and it is in the legal agreement, if you are using BlueCruise/Co-Pilot 360 or Tesla Autopilot/FSD or any other brand of Driver Assistance protocol you...

    Powerup OTA and Build Dates Month/Year

    Can those that have received the Power-Up OTA (1.4.0 and 1.6.0) list your build month/year? I am curious to see what the pattern is for those of us that have not gotten any updates from OTA. Build date: 05/21 - No OTAs Update: I'm tracking this on a Google Spreadsheet.

    Road Trip Charging L2 and DCFC

    This week I put 691 miles on my Mach-E. I charged it to 100% at home before I started. First let's look at the EPA estimates. AWD ER 270 Rated Home charging 7 KW L2 rate is $0.05 per kWh 88 X $0.005 = $4.40 (0 to 100%) $4.40 / 270 = $0.016 per mile. On the road my rate is $0.31 per kWh (EA...

    This is Ghost Stallion

    A bit of a late introduction now that it has 806 miles on it. I picked up the Star White AWD ER Premium 2 weeks ago after a dealer contacted me telling me another customer didn't want it because they wouldn't sell it for $4000 under MSRP. The dealer gave me a fair deal and I got to take the car...

    Mach-E = Beta Tester

    If you own a Mach-E you are an Early Adopter (AKA Beta Tester)! Like it or not. That is a fact, The MME is not ready for mass adoption. With all the on going issues it will take a few years for Ford to get everything refined to the point that anyone could operate one without issues. Our job as...
