Mach E Owners Without Issues

[jeffdawgfan]

Three months, nearly 5000 miles. No problems, no hiccups. Just get in the car and go. I do not use PAK as I like having a physical fob. We are getting excellent range at 3.7 m/kwh. This morning our range read 317 miles after a over night charge in our garage. With the car only rated for 270 miles, I love the extra 10% range. When Ford eventually loosens up the battery capacity a little bit may even reach 350 miles.

It feels like Mach E Forum is being invaded by Branch Elonians stans today.

My Mach E is superb. My infinite blue metallic premium ER AWD is a Detroit designed car with a next gen powertrain upgrade. I drove in all 3 major Tesla models and was underwhelmed by ride, design, craftsmanship, and fit and finish.

especially the $100,000 ModelX with an interior material quality on par with a Hyundai Tuscon.

That’s because we all just found out the Plaid can 0-60 in 15:02. They’re a bit salty right now. ?

PAAK is a little flaky . Only other is the suspension. There really isn't much spring damping. Every bump is a jolt almost like the left the shipping spring spacer in.

2-1/2 months, 1900 miles. Love it, no issues to speak of. I programmed in PaaK but don't want or use it. (That said, when I have my phone with me, the car wakes up and unlocks, so PaaK appears to be working.)
Really, I can't think of anything that isn't working properly for me. It's my third EV, by far the best in every way. I'm averaging 4.1 miles/kWH since I got it.

Finally, a thread that's posting the positives.

Have had the First Edition Rapid Red since March with 2,200 miles. My wife is the primary driver, but I've done my fair share of driving and most of the cleaning ?.

The overall build quality and engineering are fantastic on top of it being a beautiful car. If you're not one for attention, don't buy a MME. We're frequently stopped with questions... even more when they find out it's a Ford.

The interior is well made. The front and rear seats are comfortable. Although, I've not spent an extended period in the back. The driver screen is a huge bonus displaying all important information in view. The center console has all that you'll ever need. Don't have an iPhone, but use Android Auto. Works all the time usb connected... most of the time wirelessly.

I'm most impressed with the range. The AWD extended range is only rated 270 miles. On a long trip with elapsed miles and remaining estimated range, I was close to 340. This was in ideal weather and moderate driving so I don't expect this to be the norm, but still. The adaptive cruise control is awesome, which makes for easy long drives.

As of now, we have no regrets and love the car. If you're not convinced, the puddle lights are so freaking cool ? and should sway your decision.

Keep up the positive comments. They're well deserved.

As I can tell from joining this forum there are a lot of different issues with the Mach E.

I know with a new model of car there are going to be some issues but there seems to be an inordinate amount of issues with this vehicle.

I would like to hear from some owners that have had the vehicle for several months or more that have used and understand the tech in the vehicle.

Not using the tech like PAAK and dismissing the issues with this feature because you don't really like tech is not really a positive for the vehicle.

The last post I read with the car dying on the gentleman coming down a mountain is a serious issue.

Parts availability for the gentleman with the accident is unacceptable!

CarPlay? Does it, or does it not work all of the time?

I really want to purchase this car but every time I come on here there's another issue.

Someone with some time/miles on this car, who likes and knows tech, tell me something good.

In the end, these EVs are computers driving electric motors. The reliability of the tech is the heart of the car.

Four months and 4500 miles here.
No issues EXCEPT the occasional PaaK hiccup, but it's infrequent enough that I don't mind.
The screen noise I don't even hear anymore.

Yeah, yeah, yeah....
I know misery loves company and that's why you're all blowing smoke up my...
You all must think I'm stupid!

Well, I guess I am.

After so many positive post yesterday just after posting this thread, I got up this morning and got on the phone. Found a Premium AWD, LR, Iconic Silver that I actually liked better than the infinite blue I had ordered and told the guy I would take it. Two hours later I was writing a check.

Wasn't able to activate FordPass and thanks to the forum, now I know why. I'll set it up tomorrow.

While I was up purchasing the car I received another call from a dealer I had talked to in the morning that said he just had someone cancel on a black/black that was due in. I just didn't want another black car.

Then the dealer I had my original order with called and told me that now my infinite blue was on hold and he didn't know when it would come.

So today was a good day. It all worked out good.

Really good seeing so many more positive reviews after getting home.

Thank you all for taking the time to post about the positive stuff. It's easy to go down the negative road.

I'm looking forward to figuring this car out. I'm very good with tech so don't really foresee any issues.

Great to hear! And congratulations! You’re going to love it

Just over 2300 miles here and no major issues that didn’t come from a dealership. PAAK is still not great, even after the supposed updates, but it isn’t a big deal for me. I trust that it will be worked out. I also got the pano roof shade to cut the heat somewhat (I live in Texas).

To be clear: I absolutely love this car. It is a hoot to drive and really comfortable.

 

[RockwallRick]

Congrats and good color choice!! I got tired of playing the waiting game and got one for my Wife just last week! She is loving it despite the PAAK problems!!

Shadow black premium awd

Only issue I had was a high voltage battery warning when first getting the car. Wireless android auto connected and produced heavily distorted music. Restarted vehicle and it went away, bought a cable when I got home and have been using wired since.

Paak hot garbage, I look like a fool standing next to a car while repeatedly slamming the door button.

Other than that the car has been sweet, working well in 100 degree weather. I also have to fast charge in this heat so hopefully my battery isn't getting wrecked but got to use the car so too bad for me.

Car is 95 percent perfect for me. There are some misses to get to all-the-way luxury.

Not enough adjustability in the seats.
Dimmed rear view but not side mirrors blinds me at night.
Driver display buzzing.
Touch screen responsiveness similar to an iphone 6.
No cooled seats.

I feel like the misses aren't too outrageous, this is e class money.

But other than what I listed I am stoked. No car is gonna meet all my requirements (without price getting out of control), and I am having a fun time. I actually look for reasons to drive.

1 week in 293 miles. Only issues with PAAK occasionally and this morning tried to roll up windows thru phone, all but drivers window went up. Not sure if it's a one off or not. Will try again this afternoon. Still a lot of stuff to monkey around with. Love this car!

My issues have been very minor and not ones I have seen from others:

1. I get really weird bugs with trips. I will be in the middle of a 20 minute ride and it will suddenly switch to 99mpkwh out of nowhere. I also have to hit the reset trip button 5-6 times to get it to reset the mpkwh portion on the trip 1/trip 2 tab. It will always reset time, but takes several times to get that part to clear.

2. My phone becomes insanely hot using the wireless charger

3. Not sure if this is normal or not but when using Apple Play, I seemingly cant use any other functions of the car because if I receive a text, it boots me out of whatever I'm in and puts me back to apple play. Anyone else have this?

Other than that, I have had zero issues with PAAK since I got it working (the app crashed the day I got my car so it was a nightmare setting it up)

Yes, this is a known issue. Hopefully it is on Ford's "todo" list

2. My phone becomes insanely hot using the wireless charger

I don't know if it applies to iphones using carplay, but the default for android auto was to leave the phone screen on which caused my pixel 5 to get really hot and drained the battery really fast. I changed that setting so the phone screen turns off and it doesn't get as hot or drain as badly

3. Not sure if this is normal or not but when using Apple Play, I seemingly cant use any other functions of the car because if I receive a text, it boots me out of whatever I'm in and puts me back to apple play. Anyone else have this?

The app that carplay interrupted should be in the leftmost "card position" just above the environmental controls. Just tap on the card and it will switch with carplay as the active app.

Yes the issue is it keeps switching back. I'm in group texts with people so at times I'll get 10 messages in a span of 2 minutes. If I'm trying to mess with the radio and I get a texts, it takes me back to apple play, I click back on radio, I get another text and it switches right back. Are you saying that I need to open it in a different way to make it override apple play from taking it over every time?
