    The GT never had a 5 second limit

    This is a really strange post. Jail bars, gray bars... the longer & harder you put your foot down, the more quickly they show up. There's absolutely a limiter in the vehicle to protect the HVBJB. Thousands of posts on here confirm it-- as well as my experience at the track-- they are not wrong.

    Ford patents "Burnout Mode" for EVs

    Not sure if you are serious or joking... Had the HVBJB replaced on my GT (non-PE) in Spring of 21, about 6 mths of ownership. Where/how do I access this mode?

    The need for speed

    At the track, max was about 114mph on the front straight after about 6 secs @ full throttle. that was before the HVBJB bricked my MME GT (not PE) on the FWY a month later. Since then, not more than 85.

    Is this normal?

    Same as all above. I've never installed a Lvl2 charger at home-- been using the OEM charger since Day 1 (Oct 2021). I don't drive much and drip charge is sufficient for me. When the amber light first appeared, I got it diagnosed by an electrician. The standard 120v socket wasn't properly...

    Unbridled extend and service error

    UPDATE 8/7: Had my GT (non PE) at the AutoCross today. 15 runs in Unbridled Extend. Temps 100+ thru the day. No runs, no drips, no issues. MME functioned as expected. As it was a short course, limited opportunity for wide-open throttle but every launch was at least 3-5 secs of max power. Tires...

    Unbridled extend and service error

    Based on my chats with the Service Mgr @ one of the largest Dealers here in SoCal, the OTA updates alone will not complete the HVBJB recall. After a number of updates, he still recco’s that I bring it in to ensure all the recall updates have been completed. Planning to do that next week...

    Higher than expected range question

    Bully for you! Might be ambient temp? EVs typically do better in warm weather, which it certainly is most everywhere right now.

    1 week and 217 miles and now I need a new front end

    Agree-- bummer about the damage & repair costs but glad everyone is OK. Really interested in answer to above-- if pre-collision reduced speeds as designed, it'd be good evidence on the effectiveness of the tech to prevent/minimize injury.

    Help me update my GT (SoCal)

    All the above tracks with my multiple convos with several dealer service mgrs here in SoCal. Only the BC update for GTs is available-- and when you ask them to "force" an update, it's an 8+ hour affair with no garuntee that it will work. They will also charge you for it. I'm not willing to do...

    Charging with Electrify America...

    Glad you had a good EA experience. I've not done a lot of charging away from home, but EA stations have been the most seamless. only 1 issue out of 10 different charging sessions. EvGO sucks hard. ChargePoint very hit & miss. Only comment on your experience-- isn't DCFast charging beyond 80%...

    Any GT/GTPE owners receive OTA Updates for charging curve?

    I have not. I've had the MME GT (not PE) since Oct2021- I've never had an OTA update. Via DM on this forum, a "reputable source in Dearborn" has confirmed to me that no OTA updates have been pushed to the GT/GTPE. All the 2.x updates you read about here apply to lower-end models. Sounded like an...

    No update since i bought the car (Sync4)

    I have the same issue. Unsure if I'm Job 1 or 2 but the delivery date was Oct 2021. No updates since. Same Revision-- 176. Seems dealer is the only one that can install it. Other suggestions?

    Is unbridled extend working for any GT owners (not GTPE)

    I've had my GT (non PE) in Unbridled Extend several times. Only once can I recall that it didn't immediately activate. My sense is, as long as the batt is warm & temps are above 45, it should not be an issue. 5 sec power cut was still present in Extend & speed topped out @ 110-115 mps. (on...

    Update Apr 8: 😭Mach N Cheese: STOP SAFELY NOW!😭

    @HuntingPudel Did your MME GT have the same "stp safely now" issue? All this info is fascinating! From the window sticker, I think I found a build date. In the lower right corner it shows 8/11/21. And I took immediate delivery on 10/26. That tracks perfectly with @HuntingPudel above. Sounds like...

    Update Apr 8: 😭Mach N Cheese: STOP SAFELY NOW!😭

    Ahh. Unfortunately, the vehicle has been @ dealer for 10 days & I don't have access. But assume build date was "early October 2021". From what you know about the HVBJB issue, was my build affected?

    Update Apr 8: 😭Mach N Cheese: STOP SAFELY NOW!😭

    Not exactly sure. I took delivery on 10/26/21. Can I find the build date in the Ford App?

    Update Apr 8: 😭Mach N Cheese: STOP SAFELY NOW!😭

    Incredibly helpful thread. Appears that my MME GT (non-PE) has the same HVBJB issue. Been at Galpin Ford (SoCal) for a week with no solution in sight. Sounds like Ford engineers got involved & are overnighting the HVBJB parts to the dealer. This thread helped me understand what was going on...

    ANOTHER Stop Safely Now (MME GT)

    I've also experience the same "stop safely now" warning with imminent shut down. Was able to limp off an LA Fwy and park on a side street. Also an Oct 2021 build/deliver date. GT (non PE). Was about 6 days after the last DC Fast charge. Dealer has had the car for 10 days. Replaced 12v. MME still...
