    Would Ford portable charger work with 220v 20amp circuit?

    Stayed at a hotel with two Tesla chargers that were both available so grabbed one overnight. But I usually look for 110v outlets I might use in a pinch, as 30 miles overnight better than none. anyway found this 230v outlet, something I don’t recall ever seeing before. If I made an adapter so I...

    Alarm System gone haywire on long trip - disable by leaving FOB inside car?

    Last night my alarm system went haywire, and between 9PM and 11PM went off 6 times. I was finally alerted to this by the Police who banged on the door at 10:30PM. Every FordPass message was "Mach-E's security system has detected vehicle intrusion and triggered the alarm..." I just began a 1500...

    ALARM: prefer an iPhone FordPass notification over a Police visit late at night

    Police banged on door late last night - woke everyone up - my 2021 Mach-E lost its mind and was triggering the car alarm every half hour, and neighbor (rightfully) called the police. I had my iPhone on the bedstead next to me - but nothing! Don't be like me! If you use the iPhone's "Focus" to...

    Hands-Free Blue Cruise Disappeared!

    How do I get it back? I got the free trial for my Job 1 car June/July 2022. I have used it extensively and will surely pay for it when the trial expires. However, I'm now on a 200+ mile trip, and it just won't come on! I'm driving on Interstates in NC that I had used it on before: I485, I85...

    Drive Modes Not Accessible!

    Today I made a short trip for lunch, didn't seem like the Unbridled modes was breaking. Didn't think much about it until later when I drove 10 miles home. Yikes! No active breaking - Whisper mode - it took some time to get use to it. I tapped on the top left Mustang Icon, Mustang turned, but...

    Whacky idea for spare tire (RWD only)

    I've read here on various spare tire ideas: keep a full size tire in the trunk (that a service station could swap for a damaged tire), or a full size tire/wheel + jack that you could replace yourself if needed. But I had this whacky idea: is there a donut wheel that would fit the Mach-E bolt...

    Glass Recall: dealer won't help with loaner, Ford giving me the run-around on a rental.

    I finally scheduled my 21S42 recall here in NC. Service gave me a date, said no loaners and they don't get involved in rentals - call Ford. I first tried the phone number on the recall notice (866-436-7332) - when I tapped in the recall number they said unknown recall number try again. I did -...

    Idea for securing a charger when charging overnight at a public location.

    I'm going on a weekend trip soon, and working on charging strategies. The hotel I'm staying in doesn't have on-premise charging, but they told me I could use an outside 110V outlet to charge. So I'm taking two long heavy-duty extensions cords and the charger that Ford included with the car...

    Virginia Interstate debacle: which is better to be stuck in, ICE or EV?

    I got to thinking about this after reading articles claiming that anyone in an EV car that got stuck for 24 hours in Virginia on I-95 a week ago would have frozen. It just didn't seem all that certain to me. Note: updated in response to the following post by OWG. So lets suppose we have two...

    Why am I not seeing Brake Coach?

    I selected Unbridled mode and double checked Brake Coach is switched on. But I never see anything on primary panel nor on the big center one. Is it disabled for Inbridled?

    Ambient lighting setting won’t “stick”

    I‘ve set Unbridled mode, and the default Drive setting is to set Ambient to use pre-assigned color for Unbridled. So I turn that switch off, then in Settings choose a different color. turn car off, start it next day, color again default for Ubridled. Its Ground Hog day over and over again...

    Subaru Solterra sure looks like the Mach-E

    Wife has an Outback and it’s a nice car. Subaru sent us an advert for their 2023 Solterra. I take a peek, then show my wife the photo and ask “Look familiar?” ? Guess the Ford design team did well if Subaru wants to clone the look! Interesting observations: - IMHO the interior dull and...

    Installed a Draw-Tite Hitch (for bikes), now my "Kick to Open Hatch" is impaired.

    I spent the weekend installing the hitch - plan to post what I learned (with photos) soon. But after finishing up and driving the car somewhere, I find that I can't kick to open the hatch now. Amazingly it had been working flawlessly! I googled a bit but can't find any info on what the...

    Hi! My first post! On September 23 I I was driving my Mach-E on Johnston Road just North of I-485 (South Charlotte), and was making a left (U) turn at a light. Lights are long here and I suddenly noticed a white Mach-E facing me, also making a left turn. Flashed my headlights, after a few...
