Embarrassing discoveries?

Next to the Headlights switch. There is also a button for Max windshield defrost / Defog.

Unless you’re one of “those” guys who hacked that max defrost button into a trunk release physical button.

Why? but more importantly how?

Similar to Mass, we are a greener grid, and my solar feeds the grid more than I draw, so same here, 7 years of driving sun powered! (well I did DCF fast charge once to test it out and I still feel shame)

MA - Represent. My car is also "Solar Powered".

Well that isn't as clean as it sounded. I guess i'm keeping the redundant max windshield defogging button.

I just learned the little embossed lock above the door open button is actually a capacitive touch door-lock.

Lol...Yes, the other day saw a YouTube video and they were showing that lock symbol to lock the car. I was pressing the two bottom numbers to lock the car. The old traditional way for all Ford's. I was thinking symbol was just for show and it works so much easier than pressing the two numbers at the same time.

The lock symbol is great when it works, which for me is most of the time. You can’t use it though if you don’t have PAAK or a fob within a meter of the door.

Yes, I have noticed that as well.

The two-button method is good if you're leaving the key fob in your car. Handy feature, that one.

I have sat down and enjoyed reading the manual on every car I have owned since 16, I find a tidbit about something and get very excited.... and the MachE manual pairs well with a Malbec by candle light

Try some fava beans and a nice Chianti

Just noticed this last night on the light in the cargo area. I never noticed the horse before- don't think I've ever actually looked at the light, really.

The funny thing is, it goes out after about 30 seconds. Why? Why put a whole extra element in that light for that effect? The added cost/complexity seems unnecessary.

What are those bumps for? To evoke the louvered windows?

Just noticed them today. Embarrassingly.

If one reads the manual, they can avoid embarrassment.

We call this RTFM

New discovery:

On the Ford Nav screen, at the bottom there are 3 boxes that show the compass heading, street name, and elevation. I was at a stop light and started poking around.

Touching the direction or elevation opens a menu to set what you want to display in that space. Not many options unless you have a route running, it looks like.

Touching the street name opens up a useful card of info showing the nearest intersection, coordinates, etc, and gives you buttons to find useful services nearby, like charging, hospitals, towing, etc.

It's probably in the manual, but I thought it was pretty cool

Haha I use these all the time on longer road trips.

Blasphemy! You can never have too many ponies!
