    Failed 2.6.0 OTA Club

    Just got the "second enhanced version" of 2.6.0... and intelligent cruise control disappeared! @Ford Motor Company I thought this was a power up, not a downgrade. 😭

    Road trip planning help

    Just did a road trip using the Ford nav built in and was able to use some of the features well, especially looking for EA chargers on the fly based on actual range and distance to the next charger. It worked surprisingly well in realtime (but not as an advanced planning tool). It recalculated...

    Tire recommendations for Seattle winters

    I have an MME Premium ER. Just drove it across the state on I-90 on a trip to Idaho. Went through Snoqualmie Pass at 75 mph in the pouring rain with a lot of water on the road. The OEM Michelin all-weather tires performed exceedingly well. The car didn't slip once, even during the tighter curves...

    Dear Ford, Improvements I'd Like To See...

    @Ford Motor Company I thought we could provide a place to list (constructively) improvements we'd like to see. Just took a road trip. Overall, great experience. No issues charging at EA stations BUT... 1. When I search for "next ev charge", the system searches within an omnidirectional radius...

    A few "glitchy" questions....

    They had a few options at Walmart. I ended up picking this up at the local TMobile store because they guarantee screen replacement due to scratches and cracks and the coverage amount was a lot higher. It's kept the dust down and I definitely don't see fingerprints all over the screen since...

    Ford hires Doug Field, former head of Apple's car project and executive at Tesla

    I think *someone* misinterpreted “government of the people, by the people, for the people”... I don't see the public mentioned in that quote at all. ??? The people couldn't possibly be a problem!

    Ford hires Doug Field, former head of Apple's car project and executive at Tesla

    I guess this will be Ford's motto going forward. ?

    Mileage Complaint

    I have a Premium AWD ER. Stated range is 270. I regularly get 308-310 per full charge. Run in whisper mode, and I generally run on intelligent cruise and lane centering with a couple bars of distance from the car in front. I allow the car to accelerate and decelerate whenever possible using the...

    Local PNW Charging Networks

    Yeah, that's why I started a thread so MME owners could talk realtime about what's actually at these locations so we can help each other out during these uncertain charging times.

    Latest charging experience along PNW highways

    I have plugshare, a better route planner, and 3 other charging station apps. Google maps also now includes individual chargers and sometimes the status of individual plugs as well (you pull up an area and search for ev chargers, or search for ev chargers near me/location/etc). I was hoping for a...

    Local PNW Charging Networks

    I've used EA stations in Port Angeles and out past Tacoma and both experiences were great. I plugged the car in and it started charging with no issues. Just have to watch when you stop because there's an extra step on the screen to confirm stopping charging, and the car will still report that...

    Latest charging experience along PNW highways

    Thought I'd start a thread for us in the PNW to post any road trip considerations regarding charging stations along the major highways like I-90 and I-5. For example I'm taking a trip from Seattle to CDA Idaho in October and trying to figure out charging along I-90. Any charging stations that...

    Local PNW Charging Networks

    Hey pnw folks... Planning a trip from Seattle to CDA Idaho in early October. Any DCFC charging tips along I-90 I should know about? I'm good starting topped up in downtown Seattle and I've got charging figured out in CDA, it's the great barren middle of the state I'm worried about. Last time I...

    Sandy Munro checks out Ford's BlueCruise

    Like any vehicle (even different cars of the same make/model), each has it's own little quirks. I've found with my MME that the system handles far more than it thinks: Lane centering "cancels" for a moment at a sharp curve, for example, and the bubble turns and stays orange for a moment then...

    EA chargers in Eastern WA and OR.

    Could be worse ... There are *no* fast chargers in North Idaho.

    Why does Mach-e maps show gas stations?

    You can, but wear rubber boots so you don't get electrocuted through your stream. ????

    Inside EV's real world range test. Winner: No. Surprise.

    There's probably a video out there that covers this, titled "You Won't Believe This Chart I Found". ?

    BlueCruise appears in Connected Services

    Speed limits are mapped in highway databases, which are matched to your location via GPS. That's why your phone using Google Maps or Apple Maps is able to display the speed limit when your phone isn't actively seeing street signs. Intelligent cruise uses a combination of street signs and gps...

    Very satisfying to see

    I've hit 302 (ER/AWD/premium) as well pretty consistently with an average efficiency of between 4.0 and 4.3. I find I get the best range in whisper with one pedal drive using intelligent cruise often to maintain speed (and accelerate in most instances up to speed) and allow some "aggressive...

    BlueCruise appears in Connected Services

    Tomato. Tomahto. ? I do realize that. Hence that my hands are on the wheel and I actively pull the wheel to the left when the vehicle wants to steer on to the lane marker spooking the driver on my right. LOL
