    110V mobile charger blows fuse after a few seconds

    Not sure what is going on, but I used the mobile charger for a long time - my commute is not that long. But now when I plug it in, there is a small red light for a short moment on one side and a clicking sound, but then it starts glowing blue and charging begins and 30 seconds later the fuse of...

    BlueCruise and speed limits for trailers - very annoying

    So, I have done another road trip up the I5 and used BlueCruise a lot. The system itself is great but I got one big complaint. It reads sometimes speed limits for cars with trailers and trucks and applies them. So, essentially you are cruising in the left lane, speed limit set to 80 and distance...

    ANTS

    This morning I went to unplug my car and there was a stream of ants going up the charging cable. I unplugged and drove to work and check a few times. It seems they are coming out of some crevices in the frunk and may have started a nest!? *panic* can you tent a car?! I will spray some ant killer...

    1,000 mile round (first) trip report - Orange County, CA to Butte County, CA

    This was my first road trip in the car and I had only tried charging it once before at a Electrify America station to figure out how that works. The car had still less then 400 miles and not being sure about when and where to charge, I was a bit worried - something you would never think about...

    GPS quit on me

    I’m driving from north California to south California and in Sacramento the navigation thought for the first time that I was next to the I5 and wanted me to take random roads to get back on. After my next charging stop the navigation has the car next to the i5 and apparently I’m driving cross...

    Audio fade in/out

    Owning the car now for one week, I am very happy with it. On the little things that I noticed is how the radio turns on and off - compared to my previous car. I was so used that the volume fades in the previous level and then when you turn the car off, the radio fades out to off. In the Mach-E...

    Drive into a tight spot with folded mirrors?

    I do not have my car yet, but cleaning up the garage. I got a car port, so I only really parked my previous car in the garage when I went away for a bunch of weeks and that was a tight squeeze. Meaning, I usually folded the powered mirrors in and then got into the garage and even covered the car...

    Wider Tires

    Does Discount Tires make the change as "Alex on Autos" explains here at the end of the video? As the regular Mach-E comes with skinny tires, apparently there is a bit work involved with spacers and pressure sensors? ... my entire knowledge about the process is from that video above.....

    Mika seats - longevity and maintenance

    Hi, as so many ... waiting for a production date and I am exploring if I should switch from Premium to GT. One thing that is really different in the cars are the seats. I had leather seats before and on long trips I sweat my pants through. The seats in the Premium are perforated so that may help...

    Retaining License Plate

    Hi, I placed my order for a white (or red - can't decide) premium in September, so I still got some wait time. However, I got a personalized license plate that I would like to keep on my current car and I would like to sell it probably in December already. I am trying to understand how that...
