Why can Ford go back to a simple mechanical lock and key to open the frunk and get access to the jumper terminals? I have not ordered my Mach-E yet, but when it is in my hands, I will put a lock and key to it. My present Fusion Hybrid can be opened by a key even if both the 12 V and the HVB were discharged completely.
You’re going to have some major surgery to do on your car then. There’s no easy way to do that.
I suppose that, theoretically, you could disassemble the doors, remove the electric actuators that latch and unlatch the doors from the door strike/post thing, replace all of it with mechanical actuators and a keyed lock cylinder, drill a hole in sheet metal for the lock cylinder, cut a hole in the interior trim for a conventional door opening pull and put all that back together.
The door buttons are brilliant, I don't know why anyone would want to change how they work.

Or you could spend the time enjoying your new Mustang Mach E
oops
careful....
you're assuming a lot about my body shape and physical capabilities there.
Unless your 12V power supply was in the car.
I keep mine (Letterman voice) IN MY PANTS
Now, why do we not have that on the US cars. I hate the idea of hatches since it takes away from the clean look but tow hooks in the front and back...Wow!!Hi, for info I’ve attached photos of the threaded receivers for the tow hook behind both the front and rear tow hatches on U.K. and presumably EU vehicles. Also included a picture of the tow hook in the trunk (boot in U.K.).
No, sorry that is just wrong. It is true that courts ultimately consider some patents, usually high value patents, and often they are defeated. It is also the case that some Examiners are more thorough or more difficult than others. As someone about to retire, who has worked with Examiners over twenty years, I guarantee you that the USPTO does not grant almost any patent.
For newbies, which I qualify, you guys are way ahead!! Do you have the cliff notes? Mach e for dummies?I’d recommend starting with the 60+ page count ones!
