Nah, I think you need to fire your celebrity impersonator. He’s terrible! ??

I did not get an email. I got a phone call. My local Ford dealer left a message telling me I need to schedule an oil change for my MachE. They must read from some canned text and substitute one's car without thinking. Funny!

As for brake pad wear, I've noticed significantly less brake wear on the Mach-E vs ICE vehicles I've owned over the years. Regenerative braking really helps, and judging by the rust on the rotors, I would guess the brakes see very little actual use. Perhaps only during hard braking. I'd be curious to hear about brake pad life for high-mileage Mach-E owners.

Multiple threads on this. EVs have very long brake life, as so PHEVs.
