    Shift has hit the (bankruptcy) fan

    I know some MachE owners in the 2021 to 2022 era sold their pre-MachE vehicle or 1st MachE when they upgraded to Shift for a good returnā€¦ Shift Technologies, the Used Car startup plans to file for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy and has ceased operations...

    Turtle mode while stopped?

    This evening I was stopped at an intersection wanting for a green signal with my foot on the brake pedal as I had one pedal driving turned off. Suddenly the MachE started jerking slightly back and forth like it wanted to start rolling. As Iā€™m in California, my first instinct was to look around...

    MachE Ticking Sound while car is off?

    I am hearing a faint ticking sound coming from behind the glove box when my MachE is parked and turned off. Has anyone else heard this noise? Is this tied to a relay or electronic system component running while the car is turned off? I am very curious as to what this noise is from. Perhaps this...

    SF Bay Area/NorCal Hitch Install

    I am planning to install a hitch to accommodate a bike rack (and maybe light towing, but of course the MME is not rated for towing in the USA). Anyone have any good experiences with a specific mechanic or U-Haul location in the Bay Area or Northern CA (Sacramento area)? I am in the East Bay, and...

    Public Agency Mach-Es (non-LEO)

    Iā€™ve seen a number of posts that Mach-Es being used by Law Enforcement Organizations (local/state/federal Police/Public Safety Agencies), but none with Mach-E in civilian public agencies. I will start the thread with ones I have seen in the Bay Area. Here is the first: The Port of Oakland (an...

    OEM Door Window spec

    My ā€˜22 CA RT1 was a victim of a smash and grab (except they didnā€™t grab anything important). The passenger side rear door window was smashed, and I had a local glass shop replace the pane before I went on a road trip. This week I had time to inspect the replacement window and I see that the new...

    Following the rules…

    When I owned a Chevrolet Volt, there was an unwritten rule that if you saw another Volt, you would park next to each to show solidarity. Today is the first time I have been able to replicate this practice with my MachE! My Select is on the right, the Premium is in the left.

    Removing a Thinkware U1000 4K front+rear dashcam from MME

    In spring 2022, I had a Thinkware U1000 front and rear dash cam installed by my local dealer into my MY21 Mach-E. I was blessed to be able to get a MY22 Mach-E and would like to remove the camera so I can install it into the my new Mach-E. Ideally, Iā€™d like to DIY so I wonā€™t have to pay a few...

    Ford Maverick order bank are closing, will the MachE order banks follow suit?

    Just saw this on Mavericktruckclub.com. I know CEO Farley has said MachE production is increasing for MY2023, yet given the number of MY22 orders that havenā€™t made it into production and the demand from this yearā€™s order bank opening, could we see a situation similar to MY2022 where orders on...

    EU Mach-E detects roadway construction, but not in the U.S.?

    Check out this video that shows a MachE in adaptive cruise control mode picking up well construction signage and displaying a warning on the instrument panel. I have never seen this on my U.S. MACHE. Anyone know why we donā€™t have this functionality domestically? I canā€™t see that the European...

    How many tires fit in a MachE?

    I need to know if four 18ā€ standard Mach E tires on rims will fit inside a MachE? Anyone have experience successfully pulling this off or should I get a truck or large SUV for pickup?

    PDR or Body Shop Repair?

    A couple of weeks ago my MachE was hit by a large rolling cart in a parking lot. The cart hit the drivers side rear quarter panel right on the body line. Iā€™m getting a mix of opinions- some PDR folks say they can take care of it, while others are saying the crowned metal will require a body shop...

    Buying a MME before 12/31/21 without an order and ADM - Mission Impossible 2021?

    Hey there, As the title notes I'm looking for a MME, almost any MME (probably not a maxed out Premium, but I would gladly take a Select or CA Rt. 1) for purchase before the end of the calendar year and without a dealer markup (or maybe $1-2k). Is this at all possible? So far, dealers I have...
