  1. Software Issue -- Ridiculously erroneous "This Trip" data

    You assume that the car's odometer is also incorrect. Did you check, specifically? I'd wager a guess that it's not, and only the trip data displayed is off/calculated wrong. .
  2. New industry trend: synthetic blinker fluid

    Complete fake. 5W-30 is run-of-the-mill mineral blinker fluid. The synthetic (HC) version carries the 10W-60 designation. Those AliExpress scammers... .
  3. Charging Network in Europe

    I thought that ALL new purchases of European Mach-Es came with a one year test membership in the Ford BlueOval Charge Network? At least that was (is) the case here in Germany. And if you have that, it includes access to the Ionity network at VERY favourable conditions. I so far have used their...
  4. Bonnet, cheap charging with Ionity and more without monthly fees

    Well, thanks for making us (well, me ;) ) aware of that option. But, already from the outset, to me their story sounded a little 'to good to be true'. Those flat rates cited in fact are very attractive, when looking at Ionity only - but not so much when looking at other providers. So, this...
  5. My Cruise Control is Dangerously Broken (? - may be DE specific)

    Mystery solved - thank you all for your input. Yes, speed limit recognition WAS enabled, and secondly, tolerance WAS set to + 19 km/h. So even the math adds up now. Now, the question remains what knucklehead set the tolerance to +19 km/h, b/c I sure didn't. 19 klicks over the limit already...
  6. My Cruise Control is Dangerously Broken (? - may be DE specific)

    Well, even if I have that option enabled (not sure), cruise control should have put the new setpoint at 120 km/h, the posted speed limit, and not 139 km/h, and it would be somewhat counterintuitive if cruise control INCREASED the setpoint, while my previous intent (111 km/h in an unlimited...
  7. My Cruise Control is Dangerously Broken (? - may be DE specific)

    So I went on my first long (ish) road trip w/ the MME today, 300 mls into the most beautiful 'middle of nowhere' in Bavaria one can imagine. Yay! While my foremost worry for this trip, finding a free HPC somewhere along the Czech border, turned out to be a non-issue, something else came up...
  8. Android Widget for Mach-E [Less Complex]

    OK, some nitpicking: The app gives me constantly, including ring tone, notifications that a new OTA status was found, which of course is untrue. One notification per new OTA status would be enough... BTW, where would you like to be informed about such issues? In this thread, or rather via the...
  9. Volume Knob glitch

    ... And not just with those. The placement of some hard buttons is equally bad. I have 2 or 3 instances already where I inadvertently activated cruise control via the respective steering wheel hard button. Not a benign thing either, when that happens in dense traffic in town... .
  10. Android Widget for Mach-E [Less Complex]

    W/ the update, it works for me now! Thanks! And w/ a European account at that - nifty. .
  11. Starting October 1st, Toyota joins Tesla and GM as brands no longer qualifying for -full- tax credits

    Whut? Where did you get that from? Of course they do, and have done so for many years. And no pittance either: I received, in Germany, for my US-brand, Mexican-made, MME credit to the tune of 9570€ (almost 10 Grand US$). Plus, those credits are neither tax related, so everybody who buys a new...
  12. Android Widget for Mach-E [Less Complex]

    Oh my, me & my procrastinatin'.... Just when I finally get around to installing the app/widget, smth breaks - great... :confused: Good luck finding the workaround! .
  13. Who Uses the Parking Brake?

    Very good advice - with the exception of longer periods (weeks/months) of standstill, esp. in the outdoors. In such cases, the pads can stick to the disks so bad that both practically fuse. "Unsticking" them then becomes impossible using engine power, and repair shop intervention incl. new...
  14. Fill up in 9 seconds with quantum technology...?

    Bah! 9 seconds? That's nothing! According to the laws of Quantum Mechanics, there is a finite probability that all of the electrons, which are supposed to go into your vehicle's charge, already ARE in the HVB! Hey presto, charging in 0 seconds! You just have to wait for the exact moment when...
  15. Hey Ford, can you please add a way to set the charge rate?

    . I second that, although in my case, the horse is already through the barn doors... I bought a very nice, adjustable, mobile charging unit made in Switzerland: Juice Booster 2. Not sure whether it's available in the US, though. And it was approx 900€... .
  16. Sneak peek at FordPass Improvements

    . Reading the OP, I was wondering whether @FordResearch was legit, but seeing this he absolutely, positively MUST be... .
  17. Why no Mach-e sales reporting?

    I can tell you EXACTLY why the MME does not appear in that Top-20 list, at least in the case of the nextmove diagram, which reflects the German market: Despite the quite early release of MMEs to the German market, the car is STILL super rare... Since I ordered mine, in mid May 2021 (that's...
  18. California Ford Car Cover with Charging Port

    For that I'd still be game. Shipping would be to a freight forwarder in the US. PM on the way.
  19. Thread for people who haven't gotten their Mach-E's yet to be grumpy in

    I hate to burst your bubble, twice, but here goes: 1/ Your car will very likely NOT be on the ship which arrives at Veracruz on the first available date after your build date. In fact, your car may sit, for possibly a very long time, in Mexico (in my case from July 16 to November 8; see my...
  20. Thread for people who haven't gotten their Mach-E's yet to be grumpy in

    . Bye bye, guys! Sorry to have to leave y'all here, but I'm head'n over there ! (Not sure when I'll arrive there though, b/c, although my MME arrived at the dealer's this morning, and I already had a short look at it this afternoon [today wasn't one of my most productive days at work... ? ]...
