Reminds me just how shitty sirius is. It was okay 14 years ago, but to still have that dialup quality. Sucks to be them. They need to increase the bitrate or just fold.
Also OP would you say you're superstitious or only a little stitious?
As someone who owns both, I think you're giving Tesla wayyy too much credit there. Maybe the lemon left a bad taste for you. I own a GTPE and wife owns a LR Y. The Y has a better supercharging network, technology (touch screen is more responsive along with Sentry), charging speed and that is it. In every other aspect, both me and my wife like the Mach E GTPE way more be it comfort while driving, driving dynamics, interior quality, exterior looks, carplay and heck even small things like actually having a blindspot sensor as opposed to having a stupid camera I need to look at and determine if there is a car in the lane. We paid early 2022 prices and thankfully have a build from August so no HVJBJ issues.
I'm in a smallish town in the SE -- Teslas are everywhere here, of course most are white. Fair mix of 3s and Ys. I just saw the 3rd MME in the area w/ a drive out tag. 2 Xs and 2 Ss that I've seen. I'd known everything about every model when I got the PE. The biggest complaints are things that can be patched out. Ford drags far too much ass when it comes to delivering software updates. It sounds like they've thrown in the towel switching to an android based OS. Fitting I guess since the car is powered by galaxy s7 brain.
I just donāt get thatā¦the Mach-E to me feels like a 90ās GM car to me when opening and closing the doors. It always feels super cheap and that was before the issues. The Texas built model Y on the other hand felt solid from the doors to sitting in the interior. Perhaps youāre right and we will find out. Either way , yes the price drop is greasing the wheels alright.
With another door open, or the windows down, the MME door closing does sound like crap. Not sure if anyone has put sound deadener in the doors, and if it's changed it. I will be doing so here before too long. There's a lot of noise in the door panels (beat on them and listen).
that tracks with our experience. Itās enraging to schedule an appointment only for the dealer to take a week just to look at it and confirm the complaint. Or the fact that the cars been in the shop for over 60 days of the last six months without a loaner.
Damn man, I'm pissed for you. That's unacceptable. You know what they say about squeaky wheels and grease. I'd call everyone involved in it daily as well as harass ford on twitter w/ hashtags, also daily. Counter every excuse with "well if you were doing everything you could, I'd be driving your car". Make it a tweet saga "day xx of my vehicle being at ford dealer ..."
Sound deadening the entire car is the very first mod I do.. Did this to my Premium two years ago and the GT last year. After doing the doors, you will not get a solid "thunk" when closing them (and sometimes complements on how solid they sound). However, I mainly do the doors for a better sounding audio system. Besides coating the entire inner part of the outer door panel with Dynamat, I then cover that with Dynaliner closed cell foam. Now, instead of a metal echo chamber speaker enclosure, you have a very well damped enclosure that completely changes the your audio system for the better. I've had more than one Mach-E owner ask what I did that improved the audio system which they noticed right away. Besides adding a sub, deadening the doors was the only other thing. Many many years ago I worked as an installer for a high end audio company and every high end system we did started by sound deadening the doors.
My son-in-law and daughter in France had a model X for 5 years and shortly after they got it, we were there and I got to drive it on the highway. I wasn't into electric cars at the time, but thought it was cool. We were again visiting last summer and I had the opportunity to ride in it quite a bit on local roads while sitting in the third row to give my granddaughters a break. The ride was VERY harsh-got pounded. So I was not impressed with the suspension and have never been a fan of the interior accoutrements. Much prefer the Mach E despite the size difference.
Oh well, I finally made a call to Ford corporate and politely explained that an attorney was on the table and they immediately began the review process for the buy back. Theyāve approved it and we are waiting to see what they offer. I really donāt want to get lawyers involved but if they try to bend us over then we just might.Damn man, I'm pissed for you.

In-fact it'd be a wise idea for anyone whose been without their vehicles for extended periods of time, just start tweeting daily of everyone who's without their vehicle. Social media shitstorm
Regularly tag various YT / Vehicle publications and watch unsold MMEs pile up while ford shits on their customers.
