Day 3!

[bc3tech]

Just got started on the forum. Picked up a pre-owned '23 Mach-E Premium on Saturday. So far, so good. It's our first EV so I'm still learning some of the ins and outs but plan to get a Bolt for my newly-licensed son this fall.

Curious if we have a "tips & tricks" thread for things like door code bonuses (found the 7/8 Frunk one already ?), etc.

I'm a software engineer so of course this thing intrigues the heck outta me already. I have lots of questions but, of course, will search before posting

Tip - read the manual - a lot of good info in there!

Yes already spent a bunch of time going thru all the stuff in there. Was a bit disappointed no "book" and that I had to sit in the car to do it all (I usually take the book as nighttime reading for a few days when I get a new vehicle) but got it done

It's been a bit confusing that not having some features enabled results in "warning" messages about faults, etc. instead of just saying, for e.g. "BlueCruise not Active, Lane Centering unavailable"

That's a beautiful Mach-E, Brandon! Thanks for sharing.

@bc3tech ,

You can go here, enter your VIN, and it should pull up all of the manuals, etc.

Enjoy it and ignore all the puff, stuff & nonsense you’ll read about 12V battery condition & charging and frothing about updates which happen when they happen?

download a .pdf manual from ford site. I keep it on my phone because you never know when you might need it, and not have access to the car. https://www.ford.com/support/owner-manuals?gnav=footer-support

Congrats on the new MME and welcome to the forum! ??

I see you've already installed aftermarket wheels. Any further mods planned? ??

Delete all driving history so car starts to adapt to your driving not the previous owner . I do this entering and leaving winter to get a more accurate range estimate

Read it from your tablet in bed. Guaranteed to put you to sleep in 5 minutes.

They did a factory reset on the main computer before I drove it home so... I should be good there? But, nice tip on the winter/summer suggestion! Temps don't swing too much here in Seattle so I'll see how it does w/o for a year then adjust accordingly!
