I'm a car guy. I have put larger intercoolers and custom tunes on my last two trucks. I built a Factory Five roadster from the ground up, put a Gen2 Coyote V8 crate motor in it, then upgraded the air intake to a Gen 3, another custom tune, etc.. I think the tech in EVs is cool, I love the Mach-E...
My wife and I both have profiles setup on our 21 GT. Her seat memory is 1, mine is 2. She always uses a fob and I have only ever used PAAK. The car used to switch seat memory automatically when I get in but it no longer does and I have to manually press Memory 2, even though it does correctly...
Prior to 10/24/2023 my PowerUp version was 5.1. On 10/24/2024 version 6.1 was finally installed, and around 12/20/2023 my car downloaded version 6.6, but it took me a couple weeks to finally get it installed due to low 12V battery condition. A newer update has not been pushed out to my car...
Not only that, but I took the vehicle in for service last November to fix this very issue and all they did was software updates and the issue came right back. I mentioned that a cable may need to be replaced when I took it in. At that time my vehicle was under 36K. How should I handle this?
Our Mach-E GT threw a "powertrain malfunction" warning one morning not long ago that went away and hasn't come back. There didn't appear to be any affect on the car's performance, but I scheduled service at the Ford dealership where we purchased the vehicle, with the earliest appointment being...
I exclusively use PAAK and, for the most part, it has worked really well for me. Occasionally it takes a bit longer than I like to allow me to open the door, but I can deal with that. Frequently though, it will give me a "No Key Detected" when I go to start the car. You just detected my phone to...
So I took the wife's Mach-E to the car wash and quickly found out that Neutral on the Mach-E is not like neutral on an ICE powertrain. When the rollers tried to pull the car forward the car refused to move. The car wash guy was yelling at me to put it in Neutral and I was yelling back that it...
This happened about a week ago and again today. I was in my office and someone comes in and tells me that the headlights and taillights on the Mach-E are on in the parking lot. I went out and sure enough, the lights are on. I unlocked then relocked the car, waiting a few seconds and they went...
One feature I use all the time in my truck is to press the camera button when parking to see the birds-eye view, which really allows me to park perfectly within the space. On the Mach-E, unless I am missing something, requires two touches to get to the camera. It would be great if we could...
The first day I brought the Mach-E GT home I set the schedule in the car to charge to 90% between Midnight and 8AM. It has never failed to charge to 90% until today. For some reason it did not charge at all last night and this morning the charge was at the same 77% it was at when the charger was...
In my 2017 Ford Raptor with Sync 3, if I press the Voice Control button when not in CarPlay mode, then I get the Ford Sync voice control. If I plug in my iPhone and in CarPlay mode, the same button instead invokes Siri and I can give commands such as "Play Black Sabbath War Pigs on Spotify". In...
I just finished the paperwork and drove it home. I quickly snapped a few photos as the sun was about to set. I plugged it into the new FCCS for the first time as well. I wasn't expecting the projected pony logos on the garage floor! Do those appear periodically during charging or what?
So I just got my FCCS all hooked up ran through the setup using the app and it seems to connect to my WiFi just fine, but when I click the option in Ford Pass to look at the charger, it says it can't connect to the server. Anybody know what is up with this?
I'm curious, did everyone actually pay the price that was quoted when you ordered online, or are the dealerships trying to tack on extra profit and holding you over a barrel?
I was dropping my truck off at the local Ford dealer for service and popped over to parts to ask about ordering the Ford charger. The guy told me he could not order the charger because it was on backorder. Is the charger not readily available at this time?
I am planning my 240V 60A service in the garage for when my Mach E arrives. I plan to run surface mount conduit and junction boxes for both the hard-wired Ford Connected Charge Station (FCCS) and a 14-50 outlet in case of emergency and I need to plug in the Mobile Charger.
I have not seen any...
I'm starting the research into setting up a charging station in the garage in anticipation for the car arriving later this year. I see that the Ford Connected Charger is hardwired and is more expensive than many I see for sale on Amazon. I understand the differences between a 40Amp that can use...
Our Mach E GT is months from delivery, but as car guys you should appreciate this. I built a Factory Five Roadster and fitted it with a Gen2 Ford Coyote engine.
This vehicle is for the wife (or say I tell her). Space White but opted not to get the performance package. I really dislike the stock GT wheels - they look like flower petals to me - so I will probably go aftermarket on the wheels. It's a shame they don't offer an option on the wheels but I...
