My Mach-E has arrived! Early observations

[JagrPuck]

Thanks and excited to be a part of the MME family! I am in central NC. Maybe we will cross paths when I next head to the coast.

Nice to see another Central NC MME, maybe we’ll see each other on the road!

Jealous of you having blucruise and new updates already on yours, hoping mine will get the updates soon! Really cool to see Premiums coming with bluecruise now, there really is no reason why we shouldn’t have it now and eager for that update, even though I’m still waiting on the 1.7.1 update to come through for me.

Have you found a place to do the PPF at a reasonable rate in the area?

is there anything official from Ford on this? Is the dealership expected to provide the second, or does the plant send a second automatically?

This thread is in the "Issues, Warranty, Recalls, TSB, SSM" forum https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/ssm-50176-key-fobs.10159/

Seems official to me.

I am in Burlington. A friend operates Sun Stoppers Burlington. I am looking at the following:

• XPEL Ultimate PPF for full front end, front edge of roof, front side of the rear wheels, all pillars and black gloss.
• XPEL Fusion Plus Ceramic on body, glass and wheels
• XPEL PRIME XR ceramic window tint on front windows to match rear. Clear tint on windshield and rear windows for UV protection

I don't have an exact quote but he indicated it should be around $2,500.

Do you happend to be in the reserch triangle area by any chance? I ordered mine at the delear here and no communications so far. They said i can use xplan on delivery. I rather change my booking if you had a better experience

I am in Burlington. My

No communication is pretty much par for the course. Ford keeps the dealers just as uninformed as they keep us, up until the point the VVR is available.

Exactly right. I had zero communication from the time I placed order online after test drive in March until the MME arrived. All of my information came from Ford website and tracking tools mentioned in these forums.

I have seen several other recent posts where new non-GT owners with build dates earlier than mine received a 2nd fob. Still no dice for me. If this is now standard, Ford is definitely not consistent on all builds.

Frunk button on display and in FordPass both functioning.

Do they close frunk as well, or only open?

@Ford Motor Company are you aware of this?

The frunk isn't powered, so the button only releases the catch. It doesn't really open the frunk. ?

 

[HuntingPudel]

question on the electronic trunk release: did ford add a key combination on the keypad to open the frunk? I know it was mentioned early on, but I don't think they actually implemented it that way. It would be so much more useful than having to dig out my phone, open the app, and hit the frunk button. Also, does the frunk button in the app require PaaK?

@Ford Motor Company are you aware of this?

YES! I would love to be able to open the frunk from the driver's door keypad!

This would be an exceptional price. For almost the exact same service I was getting quotes for almost $5k in Denver.

Looks like youo enter your code and then hold the 7-8 button.

My Space White Premium AWD ER Mach-E arrived earlier than scheduled in NC on Friday (10/15) and I took her home Saturday. Ordered 3/26, build completed 9/16, shipped 9/18 and delivery was scheduled for 10/27 - 11/3.

Thought I would share some early observations:

• I had the option to purchase online using X-Plan so dealer agreed to process on-site even though no prior commitment.
• After 6 months of waiting and reading in these forums, I knew way more about the car than the dealer. I expect that is the norm. (They told me I get 6 free oil changes)
• Profile settings completed in FordPass had not applied at delivery. I set up profile at dealer and had to delete 2nd profile when it applied a couple hours later.
• Seems to be a decent delay in any settings applied via FordPass. I had much better success applying charging preferences and other customizations in vehicle.
• PAAK working pretty well so far as long as I keep in running in the background on iPhone 12 Pro Max. I have had a couple of no key detected instances but cycling start button seems to correct.
• No 2nd key fob provided.
• Frunk button on display and in FordPass both functioning.
• BlueCruise is active and looking forward to testing soon.
• Love the look of the car and the feel of EV instant power. Still getting the feel for one pedal driving.

Planning to add PPF and ceramic coating later this week along with vinyl grille wrap!

I have The exact same car on the way. Very excited. Congratulations on getting yours ordered April 1st. Built August 9th. Shipped October 9th. Hoping it’s here soon ?

If your build date is 9/16, you absolutely should have a second FOB. I would press them on this.

Is this a new policy, or only if requested?

According to the Ford SMB, your car should have been shipped with 2 FOBs. I would like to think that this was an honest mistake by the dealer and they forgot to give you your second fob. There is always the chance that they took advantage of customer confusion and kept the second one for themselves

Anything is possible. I did inquire and dealer assured me that the car arrived with a single fob. I have seen another post in the forums where a GTPE (same 9/6 build week) arrived with only a single fob. Either someone at Ford missed the memo for our build week or something is amiss.
