Have a Premium Extended Range.
When I test drove a Mach E - I was able to see brake performance in the driver display but even after turning it on - I don’t see it in my car.
Anyone have this issue or know how to make it display…

I don't know that I've ever seen it pop up on my driver display when driving in Unbridled mode. It did appear briefly when I had drive modes unavailable due to external temperature/humidity. Can anyone else confirm this?

Not in unbridled mode (and I don't think whisper either) but you may be able to toggle the settings for "Brake Coach" or something like that

I wasn't seeing it, turned it on, and was seeing it sometimes, but not recently. Not sure if the setting is still enabled or unset itself or maybe only works on certain roads (ie: roads where the speed limit shows). Sometimes it shows 100% (woot! woot! wasn't even trying to be that perfect).

That said, I was trying to enable fake engine sounds earlier today as a passenger wanted to hear them. They wouldn't turn on, and just switched back to off as soon as I turned them in. Quirky interface....

Yep confirmed! Only works in Engage mode.

What's the logic of that. In whisper you should not need a coach and if you are unbridled there is no hope? ;)
Yeah, but does anybody drive in anything other than "unbridled"? I tried the other modes out of curiosity, but I see no reason for their existence.

I drive in "engaged" all the time. I find no difference between the modes when driving so I leave it in engaged.

(Sure there is a slight mapping difference in the accelerator and slightly different regen amounts but I find the differences barely perceptible. Even Ford said there is no difference in the efficiency of the car between the different modes.)

You don't notice the steering differences? I didn't realize there was any change other than pedal mapping until I went from Unbridled (what I had driven in for a while after getting mine in Feb) to Whisper for the first time. Steering is much more relaxed in Whisper vs Unbridled.

Nope I haven't noticed any steering differences. I'll have to play with the settings while I'm driving again paying more attention to the steering....
