From CNN this morning:
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, which rates cars and SUVs for safety, examined so-called advanced driver assistance systems such as Tesla Autopilot and found them wanting.
The organization rated hands-free highway driving systems from Ford and Nissan as...
Just got Ford Powerup 6.7.0 claiming that I now have the elusive Frunk Release feature on my Ford Pass app. I don’t see it on my app, nor any explanation as to how to use it. Any suggestions?
Have been greeted with this notification twice in the last couple of days. Shows up when I try to start the car. Car starts fine and the screen opens after progress bar finishes. Anyone know what it means?
Since updating to Ios17, My Ford Pas App no longer shows a way to initiate a 100% charge override to the regular overnight schedule.. Also, the app has not updated itself for 19 hours.
Scary! Looks like a Tesla, but hard to be sure

I have heard several posters Report getting a Better charge price by using thenEA app instead of using the Blue Oval Charge Network in the FordPass app. I have tired charging using both at the same charger during the same charge period, but the price is always the same. Am I doing something wrong?
My Spectrum data use has doubled in the past two months on my iPhone. I can think of no reason for this, other than the fact that this coincides with my beginning to watch YouTube in my MME. Does my MME use my iPhone data plan to stream YouTube?
OutofSpec Review posted a performance review on the new Kia EV6 GT, in which he, once again, slams the MME GT for its 5 second performance limitation.
as more and more manufacturers start producing performance editions of their EV’s, this design flaw is going to accordingly hurt the MME brand.
I’ve had this car for two years. This is the first time this “126 mi” has appeared. I have checked all the Nav apps, including the in-car. It hasn’t changed in more than 100 miles of driving Whether I’m using a Nav app or not. Can someone tell me what it’s telling me?
Lately, each time I start the car in the morning, I can’t connect with CarPlay. Turns out, the car Bluetooth is turning itself off. Am I doing something wrong, or has another gremlin poked it’s head up?
Nothing earth shattering:
BLUE CRUISE
Got it installed during scheduled service. when I engage it, it will work as advertised for some miles, and then, for no apparent reason, it reverts back to hands-on status. No sooner do I grab the wheel, the Blue Cruise re engages only to repeat this...
I am hearing a soft clunking sound that appears to be coming from inside The headliner in the area of the upper left hand corner of the windshield. It repeats about every minute or so, whether the car is moving or still. Anyone else hearing it?
“A Consumer Report study published in 2020 found that, overall, electric vehicles cost less to own than equivalent gas-powered vehicles, thanks to lower repair and maintenance costs (that’s partly because EVs have fewer moving parts), as well as savings on fuel. In fact, our survey of hundreds...
When I approach my “sleeping“ MME, it much more consistently wakes up now, but the only door that I can open with my fob in my pocket! At that point, is the driver’s door.
Is there any way to make the car allow any door to be opened once it has awakened?
And I quote:
“Like Mr. Fridge Perry, this 5001-pounder charges off the line, getting to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds (Ford claims 3.5). But its gait turns to a trot around 80 mph, which takes 6.2 seconds to reach. You need 12.7 seconds to cover a quarter-mile. The non-GT 346-hp Mach-E4X is only 0.9...
Ford proudly reported updating my software to version 1.4.0 today.
Except I have been on version 1.6.0 for several months now.
And now I’m reading that 1.7.0 is about to install.
Are these updates not sequential?
i’ve seen some critical comments about the cooling system in the MME over the past week or two. Although I haven’t read closely the criticisms, I did take a 300 mile road trip this week and temperatures between 108 and 115 Fahrenheit for the entire distance.
The trip was between Palm Springs...
