  1. Bluecruise 1.3 for 2021 Mach-E has arrived

    Confirmed. I'm EA and mine was installed overnight. I've got a 2021 Job 1 (built 12/2020). I haven't had a chance to play with it much, but the update was successfully downloaded.
  2. Three Year Brake Fluid Changeout

    I asked my dealer about the 30K brake fluid replacement requirement. They tested the brake fluid and said it did not yet need to be changed. I live in Arizona so it is hot and dry most of the year. I will ask them to test it again the next time I take it in.
  3. Original 2021 Owners - Check In

    I've got a 2021 Job 1 Mach E Premium (built 12/2020). I took delivery in early February of 2021, and the dealer says it was likely one of the first retail deliveries in the Phoenix area. The first year or so was a challenge with the software updates (like the intial installation of Blue Cruise...
  4. Latest updates totally f'd up a 2021 - warnings galore

    That's exactly what my 2021 (Job 1) Mach E did when the 12 volt battery died. Here in Phoenix we rarely get 36 months out of a battery in our ICE vehicles. Mine failed at 32 months so it was under warranty, but I am going to proactively replace it again at 30 months just to avoid the hassle of...
  5. 12V Battery Status Indicator

    If you've still got the original battery in a 2021 Mach E in Phoenix, you're living on borrowed time. The battery in my Phoenix-based Job 1 2021 failed without warning at 32 months. The good news is it was still under warranty (barely), but the experience convinced me to proactively replace the...
  6. "Proactive" 12v battery replacement - good idea or overkill?

    Here in Arizona, I proactively replace the batteries in my ICE vehicles at 32 months. In the 40 years we've lived here, I've only had a few batteries that made it through three consecutive Phoenix summers. The heat is much harder on batteries here, and the expense of replacing the batteries on a...
  7. Dear Ford… why no 12v battery gauge?

    That's interesting. Ford.com doesn't show that screen that when I log in.
  8. Don't miss out on Ford Bluecruise

    I didn't get the email, but I went to the Ford website and was able to get the 3 year plan for $600. My current trial subscription ends on 12/31/2023 so my credit card will be processed after that date and the new expiration date will be 01/01/2027.
  9. BlueCruise Subscription?

    Thanks for the tip. I've got a Job 1 2021 (built 12/2020) and I never received the email offer. The "Renew" button the website got me the three year rate (expiring 01/01/27) for $600 plus tax.
  10. How many amps should I set the charger for?

    This sounds familiar. i live in Phoenix and the temperature in my west facing garage is more than 120 degrees almost every afternoon in the summer. Even though I charge after 11:00 pm, the garage is still 90 degrees or more overnight. I dialed my ChargePoint Home Flex back to 32 amps to minimize...
  11. 2021 Mach E broke down and Roadside Assistance never showed up

    You're right about the text messaging. More than three hours into this, I got a call from Ford Roadside Assistance with a Tucson, AZ telephone number telling me the second towing company had cancelled and the request would (again) be "escalated". I later tried to call the Ford rep back at the...
  12. 2021 Mach E broke down and Roadside Assistance never showed up

    @Ford Motor Company promises its Roadside Assistance provides “Peace of mind. All the time”. Really? We recently waited more than 4 hours for Ford Roadside Assistance and its towing companies to tow our 2021 Mach E from an IKEA parking lot to a Ford dealership. No one ever showed up. I finally...
  13. How many amps should I set the charger for?

    I agree. We live in Phoenix, and the car makes plenty of noise charging in the garage on a hot summer night at 40 amps. Our ChargePoint Flex will do 48 amps (its on a 60 amp circuit) but we found 40 amps works just fine.
  14. Car completely died on me about an hour ago.

    I got lucky. Mine died in an IKEA parking lot. I immediately called Ford Roadside Assistance (that's another story...What a joke) and while I was waiting, I popped the frunk so the tow truck driver could get access to the battery if necessary. Ford Roadside Assistance never sent a tow truck...
  15. Car completely died on me about an hour ago.

    I've got a Job 1 2021 Premium RWD ER, and my 12 volt battery failed yesterday. If you can locate the number for the update, I'd appreciate it. The car was towed to the dealer and they said they would try to look at it on Monday. Thanks!
  16. Post here if you have an active FDRS account and are willing to look up info for others

    My 2021 (Job 1) MME is scheduled for service in two weeks for numerous front camera faults. I will also ask them about enabling the frunk release (it doesn't work with the emergency button in the frunk or using the keypad). Can anyone check to see if there are any another updates or faults in...
  17. Would you pay for a BlueCruise Subscription?

    I would not pay for a subscription for the current Blue Cruise software in my Job 1 2021 Mach E Premium ER. I use it, but I wouldn't miss it if it went away. If the new Blue Cruise is as good as Ford says (and I hope to get to try it before my free subscription runs of at the end of this year)...
  18. New OTA 21B36

    I've got a Job 1 2021 and the dealer applied the TSB on July 6, 2021. I too got the OTA update this week, so it's not a dumb question. Obviously, some folks who already got the TSB compliance at a dealership are getting an OTA update in June of 2023. I think it is a fair question to ask. Mine...
  19. Who bought an extended warranty?

    I bought the Ford ESP for my 2021 (Job 1) from Lombard Ford in Connecticut. I live in Arizona and purchased the ESP online.
