    Ford NACS Adapter has shipped [and NOW ARRIVING]!

    I ordered about 30 minutes after you, and I'm 11044.

    “BC maps not up to date”

    The issue is obvious. This is what all those eclipse warnings were about.

    All-Electric Ford Explorer Is The First EV To Circumnavigate The Globe -- and we can't buy it here!

    Hadn't seen this one. Thanks for posting it! I really wish they'd bring this vehicle to North America. It'd be the perfect replacement for my wife's Ford Escape.

    Plug and Charge is back for Canada! [false alarm]

    well, that’s a bummer.

    Plug and Charge is back for Canada! [false alarm]

    Hmm... maybe. Definitely some mixed messaging. I may have to navigate to one of the chargers it says are "in network" and see what happens.

    Plug and Charge is back for Canada! [false alarm]

    Noticed there were plug and charge options showing up in my car after an update last night, so thought I'd check the app and it appears to be live. Has anyone tried it out yet?

    Goodwill Program Information: High Voltage Battery Junction Box (23S56)

    This will go one of two ways. We'll either get an email/mailer direct from Ford Canada telling us the same thing within a few weeks or we'll hear crickets and it won't be available to us. Ford Canada seems to be a little behind the US, so I'm guessing they're often "surprised" by announcements...

    Under Glow

    There are a few people in the forum who added aftermarket amps and subs quite a while ago (e.g. year - year and a half ago). You may want to reach out to them to see how it has been... e.g. this thread.

    Electrically Canadian - Episode 7 - The 2024 Calgary International Auto Show

    Hi all, This episode is not as MACH-E focused (although it does make an appearance), but is instead about the various EVs my son and I saw at the 2024 Calgary International Auto Show this past weekend. It's amazing to see how much variety and competition there is out there now - Tesla, Rivian...

    EA = Early Access program. Folks who signed up to be guinea pigs early testers for Ford's updates.

    You hit what?..... (an ongoing insurance saga)

    Fellow Canadian here, and - in an "only in Canada" incident, my sister once ran over a beaver. I was in the car with her at the time. It ran out of the ditch, right in front of the car on the highway. No way to avoid it. It was like hitting a speed bump and very high speed. Did a number on a lot...

    Worse Than Electrify America? Try Petro-Canada

    I have found Petro Canada to be the least reliable network on road trips. Electrify Canada is hit and miss. Flo almost always works, but I've never seen anything more powerful than a 50kW charger. We had a nightmare return trip from Vancouver in 2022 that was partially courtesy of Petro Can and...

    Electrically Canadian Episode 6 - Brrr

    Hi everyone, I uploaded the sixth episode of Electrically Canadian last night. Of my six subscribers, I think at least two or three are here on this forum, so thought I'd better post it. The content is focused on car performance and efficiency plus DC fast charging in extremely cold weather...

    OTA update stuck - “Interrupted by another process”

    So I tried everything suggested in here, including disconnecting the 12V battery and even another "secret dance" combo involving putting the car in accessory mode, tapping the brake three times and watching for the battery light to blink on the dash and it made no difference... same update kept...

    OTA update stuck - “Interrupted by another process”

    Thanks Mach-Lee. I'll give it a shot when I have some time to tear the frunk apart again (assuming it doesn't magically fix itself before then).

    OTA update stuck - “Interrupted by another process”

    I do have a dashcam and OBD adapter, but the update fails when both of those are unplugged, as well. I took a reading of the 12V battery before the most recent failure and it was at 92%. Based on everything I've seen, that's the most common reason updates fail, but I think something else must be...

    OTA update stuck - “Interrupted by another process”

    Hi all, looking to see if someone can help me get an OTA update “unstuck”. Update 23-PU0314-DCM-LAT has regularly failed for about a week now, and each time gives me a few messages. One is on the FordPass App, which tells me the car “needs my help” and that I should refer to the screen in the...

    Ford cuts F-150 Lightning Prices

    Buying a mass-produced domestic car as an investment is such a bad idea that you'd probably get a better ROI on lottery tickets. The majority of people on here (myself included) probably bought their cars during the supply chain challenges/massive inflation run-up, and overpaid to begin with...

    Mach-E Rally Revealed! Available For Ordering Starting This Fall. [Updated With Goodwood Hill Run Video]

    It also has a new bashplate for the battery (which makes sense, because otherwise people will puncture it going over rocks).
