Thank you. The photo is very helpful.

Thanks Rick. I know in the past there was discussion about NOT using the negative post and attaching the negative to the vehicle frame instead. Is using the negative battery post no longer a concern?

I will be leaving the Mach e in the garage for an bit over two ,months this winter (cold climate). A preponderance of opinion on this board seems to be to have the HVB at about 50%, do NOT plug in the level 2 charger, and attach a 12v trickle charger to the LVB with positive to positive and...

Congratulations on a major road trip, Rick. Nice report. Good to hear the HVBJB issue was not "fatal". I took a similar route from Michigan to Tucson in February. At Santa Rosa we left the expressway and went through Alamogordo to Las Cruces. I thought it important to prove that extended...

I received 4.1.2 and 4.1.3. I noticed that the number of rows of visible "station" presets had been reduced. In sound settings look for the screen that allows you to set the number of rows of icons. Mine had gone from 5 to 1, but when I expanded the number of rows all my presets returned.

I appreciated all the responses to my original post. I thought I would let you know my decision: I chose to travel in the Mach e. From January 11 to the 15th my wife and I made the approximately 1950 trip from southeast Michigan to the Tucson area. We drove in four legs: Michigan to just past...

I realize this is an old thread but thought I would ask for an update. Is Ford any closer to an arrangement with EA that allows for the discounted rate? Is RicMachE's advice about how to use the EA app still correct? I tried asking the Blue Oval team this question and they said the only way...

I'm planning a long trip that will take me through Santa Rosa, then down to Carrizozo and Las Cruces. Allsups/Francis Energy in Carrizozo is my only L3 option on the route. Hopefully they will be working and available. My back up is an RV park with 30 and 50 amp plugs. That stretch heading...

It has been approximately two weeks for me as well. When I attempt to set a departure time I get a message saying 'sorry, Ford Pass is not responding. Try again later'.

Thanks Manic. Your account was informative. I may be stopping at some of those charging locations between Michigan and Tucson. Santa Rosa to Las Cruces looks like my risky stretch. It is not good to hear about the EA chargers being "fussy". Do you think it might be due to the fact that you...

Thank you all for your experiences, comments and suggestions. Greatly appreciated. There is no question that it would be easier and less stressful to ICE this trip. But I have committed to a BEV and as an early adopter I am anxious to prove it's "roadworthiness". I also tend to be a bit...

My wife and are are new owners of a Rapid Red MME Premium, AWD, ER. We are going to take a long road trip from Michigan to Tucson in January. I really want to take the MME, especially since our ICE option is a slightly smaller and less comfortable Ford Escape. The plan is four days of...

Order date: 12-17-21 Premium, AWD, Extended Range, Rapid Red.

Thanks for your responses. Today I received a build date of September 26. Pretty late in the MY, but hopefully it will get done before changeover.

Does anyone have any information about when, if at all, MY 22 orders might be converted by Ford to MY 23? Changeover in the current environment is probably hard to predict, but if you are looking at an October or November delivery will the 23's be overlapping? Will you miss features or...

That is SW Florida obviously!

My apps are not showing much in the way of DC Chargers in coastal SW Florida (Punta Gorda to Marco). Does anyone have more updated locations or a listing of DC Chargers in the area? Thanks.

December 2021 order. Similar configuration: Premium; AWD; and ER. Obviously, one or a combination of these components is slowing us down. Not enough ER batteries? Not enough electric motors? Shortage of Premium trim components? Hopefully it is due to simple supply chain issues which will...

I am neither an engineer nor an electrician, so this is all outside my wheelhouse. Clearly the 800v system is superior in terms of charging speed. This is a distinct advantage of the EV6 and Ioniq. Why didn't Ford implement an 800 v system in the MME? Is it that much more complex or...

Hello all. Placed my order through a dealer in Michigan on 12-17-21. Premier, Rapid Red, AWD, ER. The order was confirmed by Ford email the same day. Obviously, no VIN nor production date. The wait begins. Already driving the wife crazy with planning and material purchases for a 50 amp...
