    Total Eclipse in Northern New England. Don't drive electric

    Are there RV campgrounds? Pretty easy to camp your way up and back if you're really determined.

    BlueCruise Monthly Subscription

    Look under connected services on the Ford pass app or at your account at ford.com. They charge $75.00 for a month of service. It's going to have be a lot better than 1.2 if they want me to pay for it though.

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

    I have to say I'm not regretting the purchase at all. I bought a 2021 Premium RWD extended range off of a lot in July 2021. I paid what we all paid then, but talked the ADM down from $7500 to $3500. With the ridiculously high trade in value on my 5 year old RAV4, the $7500 federal rebate and...

    Bluecruise subscription really expiring before 1.3 really delivered??

    My car, built June of 2021 and purchased July 2021 came with BC 1.0, Hence, Job 2. I received the same $600 offer as Job 1 cars. I doubt I'm the only one.

    Bluecruise subscription really expiring before 1.3 really delivered??

    I keep seeing "non-job 1" car are the only ones getting the $600 offer. I assume I have a 2021 Job 2 since it was delivered with BC. As I have the same offer, I'm guessing that all 2021s are getting the deal. That said, asking me to pay for the possibility of a fully functioning BC while...

    Don't miss out on Ford Bluecruise

    Strange. I bought my '21 from the lot in July '21. Blue Cruise was operational from day one.

    Don't miss out on Ford Bluecruise

    I couldn't agree more about 1.2. It's a cute little feature, but it definitely doesn't inspire trust as it hugs the right side of the lane and disconnects at random times. I've used it enough over the last 2 years to know that I won't miss it. Ford has put those of us with the $600/3yrs...

    Paintless Dent Repair?

    I'm in San Diego. I had my driver door creased by someone opening the passenger door on a vehicle parked next to me. Deyman from Lux Paintless Dent Repair came to the house and took about 15 minutes to pull the inside of the door off, repair the dent perfectly, and reattach the inner door...

    Apple Car Play and PAAK Down For the Count

    Since day 1, July 28, 2021, my Apple Car Play and PAAK have worked near flawlessly. There were a few times where I had to use the USB cord to connect to Car Play, but it was rare. About 2 weeks ago, my PAAK stopped functioning and Car Play won't connect without the cable and a bunch of...

    FordPass Not Responding today

    I've used Ford Pass and PAAK exclusively since I bought my MME in July of '21. Last week the car refused to acknowledge it and Apple Play quit working unless it's plugged in. Even plugged in it has been sketchy lately. I have no idea why after a year and half it just quit, but hopefully it's...

    So, I got an email this past week that my complimentary BlueCruise subscription is about to expire, and it got me thinking…

    "I've got to say that this is a pretty silly view IMO. Why? You want ALL the features? Do you know what ALL is? You do know that features tend to EVOLVE, right? Therefore, 1.2 is not necessarily the end of the line for BlueCruise updates. To hold out for lane change and a tweak to lane...

    Audio - Blown Center Speaker

    Due to supply chain issues, it took a few weeks for the speaker to arrive, but my dealership took care of everything.

    If you want your Mach-E to get OTA updates - the SOC of the 12V (LVB) must be at least 80-85%

    I had not seen an update since November. I probably charge the car once every other week and rarely leave the charger connected overnight. Saturday night, I plugged in and received 3.6.2. On Monday, before I read all 8 pages of this thread, I plugged the car in and by the end of the day, 4.1...

    Dealer refuses to service my mach e

    It's a bit of trip from Irvine, but Kearny Mesa Ford/Kia in San Diego has been awesome to me. I bought my car from Auto Nation Torrance, but KM Ford still treats me like I've been a regular all my life.

    We Will Never Buy a Ford Again...Nor should you!

    Late to the party and didn't pour through 5 pages of thread, but what is this about Ford's no loaner policy? I bought my MME in July of 21 and have had the car in to my shop a few times. Once was for repairing/replacing the cargo area supports after mine broke. Once for a blown speaker and...

    Stupid question regarding Electrify America charging -- do I need to bring anything extra to charge the Mach-E?

    Doesn't sound like he'll use much of the complimentary Kw, but definitely for future use. I ran out of my free charging while on a 16 hour road trip. Made it a 17 hour trip since I spent nearly an hour trying to figure out why every EA charger in the lot wouldn't operate.

    Possibly Facing Eviction; Advice Needed

    Sounds like this has become a major frustration which you can't shake. Is it worth the aggravation? I know we use the forum to vent and seek support, but getting jammed up for a few dollars when living in a "luxury" complex and driving a new $50k car doesn't sound like this is game changer...

    Possibly Facing Eviction; Advice Needed

    Thank you for your service and sacrifice. I'm sure this is going to continue to be an issue as the transition to EVs continue. You can try to stick to your guns and run your lease out. Even if you stay to the end of your lease, the new lease will likely include an increase to offset their...
