    Maybe the taxes can be on based on gross vehicle weight instead of collected at the pump.

    Paying Our Fair Share of Highway Taxes [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    In CT we pay personal property taxes on our vehicles. Since the value is established on Oct 1 we have been taxed on inflated MME values for 10/22 and 10/23 years.

    Hertz "Horror Show"

    We all know that operating an EV is different than ICE. You canā€™t just jump into an EV and intuitively know the controls or charging nuances. I test drove a Tesla Y and spent time trying to turn on the wipers instead of carefully driving the car. I had to pull over and call the salesman...

    Nav Expiring. Worth renewing?

    Adaptive Cruise Control doesnā€™t go away after BlueCruise expires. ACC is good enough for me.

    Youā€™d think by now they know what to do. Sounds like your 1st rep had no clue.

    Financing Balloon after Ford Options

    Print the attachment I posted on comment #77. On page 2 it gives the correct Ford Credit phone number. Time is of the essence for you. I wouldnā€™t wait 14 days for an answer. They can refinance a month early and roll the remaining payments into the refinance.

    Preferred charge settings no longer works

    I had this happen after an OTA update. Make sure the location address on the top of Fordpass is the same as on your Home location. in my case it charged to 100% once and then returned to recognizing the preferred settings. Thereā€™s many threads on the forum on this subject.

    Opinions welcome - is this a good deal?

    The OPā€™s ā€˜21 Premium has features, park assist, foot-activated liftgate, that are not available on a ā€˜23 MME. If it was me, Iā€™d refinance through Ford Credit and keep the low mileage MME. Then again, I donā€™t want a GTPE as Iā€™ve outgrown my need for speed.

    Financing Balloon after Ford Options

    My guess is that the balloon autu-pays are cancelled because many would bounce.

    Financing Balloon after Ford Options

    My Options balloon is due 08/31/24. I got an email from Ford Credit on 02/29/24 giving me alternatives. See below:

    Who is repenting the decision of purchasing a Mach e? I am for sure

    For me the Tesla Supercharger adapter and network is a game changer. All my regrets were due to lousy fast charging infrastructure in CT. I have a ā€˜21 Premium AWD ER built in June ā€˜21 and have had no issues.

    Preconditioning doesn't happen when car reaches intended charge level

    My observation is that the preconditioning is for a shorter time when the MME is unplugged. For me the fully charged SOC doesnā€™t restrict the preconditioning, but if you say fully charged at 100%, then I donā€™t know since I only go to 95% in winter.

    Ford Mobil Charger must always charge to 100% overnight?

    Does FordPass show the correct address at your HOME? It sounds like your location setting isnā€™t working. Publicā€™s fast chargers never appear, only L1 & L2.

    Blue Oval sound great but how do you actually use it?

    Even without P&C, the Blue Oval network allows you to initiate charging sessions on all chargers listed on the app. This is safer then having your cc on file with the various charger apps.

    Electrical System Drain Message

    If you use ā€œcharge whenever plugged inā€ it will ignore your other settings and charge to 100% SOC.

    Also, if you have an ob2 plug installed, this will cause system drain.

    Electrical System Drain Message

    My utility also uses ev.energy. Iā€™m in CT. As long as they are connected directly to the EVSE, and do not have your Fordpass login password, this isnā€™t causing your drain. If for some reason you allowed ev.energy to login in to your FordPass account, call them and have the vehicle removed...
