    Camera view buttons (mostly) non responsive after an update

    So for the past month or so, I have had to do a sync reset to be able to switch between 360 view and wide rear view. It used to work and was very responsive. I am not sure which power up caused it but I am currently on 24-PU012-FTDI-FX but it could have occurred after 6.14.0...

    My 25 years of driving EV's

    Last Saturday Michael Smerconish published an article’s that I wrote about my 25 years of driving EVs. https://www.smerconish.com/exclusive-content/25-years-of-driving-electric-vehicles/ I had a great deal more to say, but I was already over the recommended word count and had to get...

    What's in this update- release notes words are different 6.8.0

    I think I have noticed different wording in release notes before...but for for 6.8.0 the words used in the release notes on my update I am absolutely certain don't match even remotely closely what others are getting. Others have said (and some have complained) that it changes the instrument...

    Interest in an (hypothetical) 3rd party upgrade option for GT & GTPE

    When I was younger, I used to go to speed shops and enable my muscle cars (and friends muscle cars too) to go way beyond the performance potential of how it came from the factory. While typically it was the installation of new cams, intake manifolds, headers, carbs, pistons, porting and...

    New feature: Automatic parking brake enabled with a recent update

    I have noticed that my car now sets the parking brake when I put the car in park. I think this feature was there if one was on a steep hill, but it never worked on my driveway. I know that this was not happing on my car at least as of last month because if I ever did not set the brake after I...

    Car timer occasionally fails to start on schedule

    While I really have enjoyed the Mach E (GTPE) overall, there are a few issues that plague the car. Many of those bugs have been resolved with new firmware updates, but for the past 11 months of ownership I have had an occasional situation where the car fails to charge at the delay start time on...

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

    I have been wondering why my car has not had any updates since 3.6.1 installed on November 8. I did a chat with Ford.com and they put me in touch with the OTA department. (Over-The-Air (OTA) - English "1-833-926-3233" 8:00 a.m. –11:00 p.m. EST (Monday - Friday), 8:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. EST...

    Occasionally the trunk hatch does not close-just beeps twice

    So probably a dozen times over the past 2 months when I press the power trunk close button the trunk lid stops closing and the horn beeps twice. There is no obstruction in the way and it does this when the hatch probably has another 30-36" still to close. I just press the button and it goes...

    2022/2023 GT models-with or without laminated front door windows?

    In theory, only 2021 Premium and GT trims were supposed to come with laminated "acoustic" glass front door windows- this feature was deleted in the spec for all 2022's. In theory only 2021 Premium and GT trims were supposed to come with a kick to open lift gate. From what I read on this forum...

    Recall- 22S41/22V412 Ford Dealer can't (or won't) perform the update

    Regarding: "Battery Energy Control Module Software Update" Campaign/NHTSA# 22S41/22V412 The Dealer I purchased my car from is about 60 miles from where I now am. I know they can do the update because a colleague had his done there. There is still no OTA available for it (although the recall...

    BlueCruise- 3 years or 5 months or???

    Last night I noticed that my BlueCruise license on my GTPE I just received on 5/12 will expire less than 5 months from the date I received the car. I thought that it was 3 years, but it also may have been 6 months, but this is less than 5 months. Does anyone see something different?

    Ford logo on windshield...2021 and 2022?

    A colleague of mine just got a 2022 Mach E Premium...I noticed his car has a white outlined Ford oval logo on the windshield just above the camera. I thought the 2021's at least were absent of any Ford logo except on the glass and some reflectors. This is a picture of his 2022... Is this on...

    So my MME GT PE order that I placed in August had been scheduled build for the week of the 20th of December, then the 27th, then the 3rd of January and then ultimately the 10th. It started production on January 15th, but it has been on chip hold since January 20th and it too got rescheduled...

    The first group in the survey is if the car is partially built and delayed. (sorry-I could not edit the survey) From what I can tell some people who have cars were scheduled for production during January are getting their cars soon...but I have also seen others who have had cars "in...

    This owner did a controlled test of idling his car like it was stuck in traffic in freezing temps like what happened on I95 in VA. https://www.insidehook.com/article/vehicles/electric-car-12-hours-freezing-cold-test

    How many Mach E GT's have you seen "in the wild"?

    So Ford started shipping Mach E GT models in the second half of August, but I have only seen two "in the wild" meaning not at a dealership or car show. I saw a Rapid Red GT PE in 25th street San Pedro, CA on December 8th (I found the date because I had texted my wife). It was about as the sun...
