  1. Any great Houston-area EV dealer/servicer?

    Hi, y’all. One of my buddies who has an MME and I were both wondering if anyone has a Ford dealership in or nearby Houston that is fantastic with EVs. I use Russell & Smith and they are just meh - not bad at all, but mediocre. For instance, they had no clue when I asked them about doing an...
  2. Frunk question

    Got it. Thanks. The service advisor did not know what I was talking about but said he would look into it and would send me the cost. My car is going to be there for three days anyway because they are going to be doing three recalls including HV junction box one.
  3. Frunk question

    Got it. Thank you.
  4. Frunk question

    Good morning, all. Does anyone know what I need to ask the dealer about an actual dealer update for the frunk button on my 2021 Mach-E?
  5. MME rear-ended - body shop questions

    Well, State Farm is not calling us back yet with an authorization. Ironically, we have State Farm and when I spoke with a rep last Wednesday she said I could take it in and make a claim on my policy. I asked her why the hell would I do that? It was a three car accident and the first car had...
  6. First time denied charging at dealer

    To each their own. I have (when my kids were younger) stopped in at the Audi dealership because they have awesome cookies and the kids wanted them. Yes, they were free and, yes, we bought a car from them and still had owned the Audi. Why? Because we were told we could come in WHENEVER we...
  7. MME rear-ended - body shop questions

    Thank you, all, for your responses. Outside of cost, I also am concerned because it is an electric vehicle from Ford that maybe I should stick with the Ford dealer body shop. But it looks like certain folks have had repairs done through independent body shops with good success.
  8. MME rear-ended - body shop questions

    Unfortunately, the Mach-E was rear-ended yesterday when my wife was driving back home. Fortunately, she is okay. The car sustained some damage to the bumper, scratches along the hatch and rear area, and whatever that plastic panel underneath the car also bent. Originally, I was going to take the...
  9. Edmunds Massive Charging Comparison - MME is second to last.

    I am proud to say that I own two of the worst five vehicles when it comes to charging speed. Oh well. Really doesn’t matter to me much since I charge at home. Still, it is useful to know. Thanks for posting.
  10. A bit of a brutal take on the Mach-e and a bit on EV's in general.

    My criticism is that these guys seem oblivious to the cost of vehicles - all subjective opinions aside. What vehicle am I really going to purchase for $30k? Any vehicle I was considering purchasing at the time was between $50k and $70k. Yes, there are a lot of ICE options. But, when you get...
  11. Towed Without Prep! How Fucked?

    I’m glad you did not die and are better. The car is secondary, but glad that the MME is rockin’-and-rolling’.
  12. Door dinged, any way to get it out?

    PDR is the way to go. I’ve had two in two years and their magic got the dings out. I cannot even tell there were dings on those doors.
  13. Charging more than 80% regularly?

    I had been charging to 90%. But, in an effort to preserve the battery as long as possible, we shifted to 80%. The wifey’s drive is not too long and this really means we are charging every three to four days. I try not to get it lower than 40%. A chemist could probably better explain things...
  14. Can't deal with the bouncy ride anymore after two weeks with the Mach-E. What do I do?

    So, is there somewhere that all of the different suspension options that have been tried are listed? My wife now is driving the MME and our Houston roads suck. So, she was complaining how much bouncier it was than her former iX. I am willing to invest around 5k to take care of this problem as...
  15. Driver door not sensing fob or PAAK

    Thanks, it does open when I press another door. So, if I wanted to remove the negative wire, do I need to remove panels out of my frunk?
  16. Driver door not sensing fob or PAAK

    Hi, all. Need the help of the braintrust again. I know this was an issue a year plus ago for people. But, I have seen nothing recent. In the last week or so, whenever I approach the driver's door whether with key fob or phone, it will not automatically unlock. Every other door and the hatch...
  17. Somebody OK'd this?

    I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It looks just fine to me. Realistically, I’m not staring at the screen enough to care. I’m more annoyed that it is so hard to get my hatch opened. I use that function at least twice a day if not four times. Let’s ignore the fact that I don’t...
  18. Car locked up at car wash

    So much judgment on this thread. It seems like if it is a hassle to assist others with questions, the polite thing to do is to ignore the questions. Regardless, I’ve seen two comments on this particular thread that auto-hold is pointless with one pedal drive. I thought those were two...
  19. DIY: Key Fob with Frunk Button !

    No, I do not know what that is, so I did not. I never asked the dealer to do it, so I will ask them when I go for my next tire rotation. Hopefully, it will not be a charge.
  20. DIY: Key Fob with Frunk Button !

    So, my 3rd key programmed successfully. However, the frunk button does not work. All the other buttons work fine. I have a 2021 Mach-E that I assume is a job one. Purchased in early July of 2021. Any suggestions?
