    NE US Regional Ford Rep

    Send an email to [email protected]. Yes, I'm serious. (I sent an email to Tim Cook (Apple's CEO) a couple years ago when I couldn't get a problem resolved and while obviously Tim didn't respond, I did get a response from someone that could actually resolve my problem.) In my experience...

    Can you do a burnout? GT

    Yeah - my tires will break traction, but not spin. But that’s with traction control turned on. I’ve not tried it turned off. Was traction control turned on in your video?

    Can you do a burnout? GT

    I have been able to get my tires to chirp since pretty much day one, but not spin for any length of time, and certainly no smoke. But I have a GT, not the GTPE.

    FDRS Issue

    Perhaps their servers are down? They might be doing maintenance...?

    How often do you plan on using your NACS adapter?

    Only on road trips (a few a year). I've only used it once (as a quick test), but based on the experience it's difficult for me to imagine using CCS chargers again. The Tesla experience is so vastly superior. (And I'm no Tesla fanboy - quite the opposite.)

    Ford Really Wants Your Driving Data

    I am no Ford apologist, but on this topic I think that as of now, at least as pertains to LexisNexis and insurance companies, Ford has been doing the right thing. As @methorian and I have both confirmed, our lengthy LexisNexis reports do not contain any driving data. Ford has clearly stated they...

    Thanks - you saved me the time of looking up my post! 🤣

    Can lane centering be enabled on city streets?

    Yes, BC disengages when you brake. That's what the adaptive cruise control is for since it greatly reduces the need to brake. If you find that the ACC is braking coming to abrupt stops (or not braking until the car is closer to the car in front than you'd like), change your follow distance...

    Can lane centering be enabled on city streets?

    Yes, it can, though with caveats. Lane centering is performed by the camera in front of the mirror cluster. The camera can generally see lines on the road well, but have trouble with curbs. So if the lane you're in has a curb on one side or the other, the lane centering may disengage. It also...

    Any new features

    No - they don't have kick to open, but most (all?) have power lift gates.

    Any new features

    I missed that. By all means feel free to provide the OP with relevant information.

    Total Eclipse in Northern New England. Don't drive electric

    Exactly. Not only that but how about this one: "Well the sun doesn't shine during an eclipse so how are all those EVs gonna charge?" Kinda like the gem that wind turbines raise air temperature. 🙄

    I'm waiting for the news stories about how the eclipse prevented electric cars from charging...

    Glass roof recall issue. Help

    I recall someone saying they experienced something similar a year or two ago. Search for "replace spoiler" or something similar. I don't recall the outcome.

    Another comparison thread (Tesla vs Mach E)

    Thanks. I found your comparison informative and useful.

    Did not get a Tesla adapter yet

    I think you may be on to something. If you watch Tom's interview with Farley on State of Charge you'll see that Farley kinda surprised others at Ford by announcing the adapter would be free to existing customers. So I suspect that's created a few surprises to the implementation team. Also lets...

    Any new features

    Early MY22 cars still had the Active Park Assist 2.0 (self parking) as well as hands-free lift gate (though the latter needs to be enabled using FORScan). Any MMEs built after roughly the middle of 2022 lack these features. On the other side of the balance sheet, MY23.5 and beyond have improved...

    Did not get a Tesla adapter yet

    This is awesome Patrick (and clever way to drive traffic too). Kudos!
