    Paying Our Fair Share of Highway Taxes [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    With the gas tax not having increased in eons, and more EVs not paying gas taxes, something should be done to maintain the roads. But how to do it without alienating some constituency the politician needs? (Guess what - any policy will piss somebody off....) Should be based on the cars weight...

    Ford discontinuing Park Assist

    I resemble that remark! Saw it mentioned in the manual, never really felt the need to test it. Maybe if I could practice with Park Assist with someone else's Mach-E??

    Ford delays BC 1.4 rollout for BC 1.5

    Actually, Ford should use complex numbers to determine the release date - that way they can push it out along the imaginary axis as far as needed....

    2024: America Decides. A New SUPER POLL.

    I saw "America decides" and was wondering if this was a setup to get another "closed due to politics" thread. Fortunately not....

    What version of Power up is this?

    This wasn't clear from your original post. Not sure if you can absolutely be certain it'll never update, but you could disable auto-updates, don't connect to WiFi, and ... IDK. IMO, not a particularly good plan, but it's a plan....

    What version of Power up is this?

    This is pretty old -- haven't had the car icon in the upper left corner for a while. Looking at Ford Power-Up history, I'd say this is somewhere between 2.4.5 and 2.5.3. (Early 2022) Make sure you're set up for automatic updates, and I'd expect you'll start getting brought forward slowly....

    Power Up 6.x Poll

    Premium RWD SR 2021 Job 2, non-EA, was on 6.1 for a bit, just got 6.2.1 this morning. As noted by others, had to reset the side mirror auto-fold setting, and disable the back seat passenger check. Hoping that this means that I'm 'unstuck' and will move up thru the 6.Xs steadily.

    Feedback/help needed on quote to install Level 2 charger in my garage

    I think that might be a little high. I would think the biggest issues are if you have "room" in the panel (how many other high amp breakers you have) and how long a run is it from the panel to where you want the hard-wired or 240V outlet. I had a local electrician run a 8 foot flex conduit from...

    Level 2 Charger Suggestions?

    I've been using the Ford Mobile charger since I bought my Mach-E, put in a 14-50 outlet in the garage. It's been doing fine, but probably every other time it now shows the amber "over heat" indicator while charging. Do check with your local utility and state to see if they offer any rebates...

    Lighted Pony Project (back it!)

    My lighted pony just died, likely within this week. It lasted about 8 months. What with the recent run of hot weather here in MA, I'm suspecting that there were just some parts in it which were not extended temperature range. Or that automotive extended temp range just isn't going to be...

    Would you pay $75/month or $800/year for BlueCruise hands free highway driving? This will be option for 2023 Mach-E

    What is BlueCruise worth? I ain't feeling $75/mo. My commute is largely I-495, so BC mapped, but I don't trust it during rush hour. And otherwise, I'd be using it infrequently. Maybe at $10/mo.... $25/mo would be a stretch (Is it worth more or less than the NYT monthly subscription?)

    Hey Ford! Can we get mi/kWh on the instrument cluster?

    I've got a standard range battery too. Using 2 mi/% is conservative, and the math is easy.....

    FordPass & PAAK use cancelled unless you give away ALL personal and real-time driving data ?!

    The car has a cellular modem built in - which is one way you get the live traffic updates while you're driving.... I'd assume Ford is using AT&T for backhaul, since that's who you need to contract with to get a WiFi hot-spot provided thru the Mach-E.

    Suggestion for product - edge bumper for center screen

    As I was touching the edge of the screen to help ensure that my finger hit the right spot on the center screen (adjusting heated seat setting, radio stations) , I was thinking that a rubber/plastic bumper around the edge of the screen might provide better grip, prevent my hand from sliding and a...

    Poll: Have you gotten OTA 4.1.2 (the UI refresh)?

    Job 2 '21 Premium SR RWD here. Not EA. Just got 4.1.2 today (1/24), after 4.1.1 yesterday (1/23), after 3.6.2 on the previous Friday (1/20). 3.6.1 was back in November. Sort of odd getting three updates so closely timed, but it seems I'm in good company. Wonder if 4.1.3 will drop soon for...

    Ford streaming expiring. Do I need this for SiriusXM?

    Confusing the OP is one risk. Confusing anyone else trying to follow this thread is yet another risk. You can receive SiriusXM channels over your phone (thru the app) or via MachE satellite (subscription(trial?)) or streamed thru the MachE (SiriusXM 360L(trial?)) Then Alexa could be controlling...

    Eyes camera couldn’t see my eyes thru my dark glasses

    Without sunglasses, I tend to squint - with sunglasses I can keep my eyes wider open.
