It sorta likes to favor the right side of the lane. Drives me nuts. Is there an adjustment for that?
I don't think so. Good question for the engineering team working on it. There is an explanation because all of us who use it, experience the same thing. I believe the engineers see the same thing. Or you adjust for it and get used to it for now until Ford explains why the NC favors the right side of the lane consistently.

I learned that if you are backing up and haven't weed wacked those pesky weeds in that one crack in the driveway and they get too tall, the car will slam on the brakes and it feels like you hit something. Had this happen last night when backing up to my charger at home. Yep, brakes work...

My Toyota Sienna does this too. I assume it has something to do with non-divided highways and stats about head-on collisions where cars cross the line. But that's just a guess. It's pretty annoying, feels like the passenger side mirror is going to touch the car next to us.

Yeah, I was thinking same. Keeps farther away from oncoming traffic.

Just your hands on the wheel. It's sorta frustrating when that right side attraction happens.
I wonder if prolonged periods of manual correction to the right side BC attraction will create uneven tire wear

Do not think so. You are not correcting for a misalignment. You only overriding the system. The system is not fighting you. Once you let go the steering wheel, it will correct to it's normal position. Favoring the right side of the lane.

I read on this forum that a buyer was bummed that the powered seats didn't go up and down. So I became bummed about it. A year later I discovered that the power seat goes up and down. Moral of the story, don't believe what you read here.
Not correct. There is no seat tilt in MME.

Only too happy to discover that the car won't move (you can't engage the gears wheel into reverse or drive) unless you disconnect the charger from the port at the front. I would have ripped the charger , damaged the port or both long ago if it wasn't for that. I still occasionally do that, but I know what to do now. The first time after a couple of weeks of ownership, I fiddled with the gadgets inside the car for a few minutes before a bolt of lightning stroke me in the head and disconnected the charger from the port. Did this happen to you?

I haven't left it plugged in, but I do forget to close to door. Fortunately, I discovered I can reach it through the open door gap between the A pillar and window frame, so I don't have to do an embarrassing full exit.

Yeah, we were at a friend's house and I thought I had hit something, then I laughed.

Anyone ever notice that the lines in the display for the back-up camera were designed for the camera to be mounted to the left of center? ??

I discovered that my Shadow Black Mach-E GT is a HUUUUGE chick magnet. I've owned flashy sports cars and motorcycles but, seriously, nothing compares to this stallion. Lets just say that my wife is already thoroughly annoyed. ? I've already been followed home, had an SUV full of college girls hit me up a traffic light and I'm stopped/approached in parking lots often. The list goes on...

To the single dudes seeking attention: Sell whatever you're driving now and get a Mach-E ?

Note to self: Does not work if your GT-PE is Grabber Blue and you are a curly-hair canine. I have better results on foot. ??

I had spent a good part of an hour trying to figure out how to use the hands free kick option to open the tail gate with no luck. Manuals etc.....

Then decided to crawl under the car and these are no sensors. Go figure :(
