New owner...

[rzanzerkia]

Picked up my Premium Red SR MachE.
Dealer was nice no pressure, no mark up.
It actually went below MSRP due to charger rebate.

Even though my car sat at railroad yard for more than a month, the 12V battery was fine.
Dealer had charged the car overnight and it showed 177 mile range (not bad for cold weather).

Drove the car 65 miles back home.
Flawless.
Love how this car drives, accelerates (didn't even try Unbridled mode) and super quiet.
Apple Car play worked perfectly wireless connection.
I had never used Blue Cruise but first time on highway and it worked perfectly.
I drove 75% of the time using Blue Cruise, impressive.

One hick up... Ford Pass on my phone is not working
Keeps saying 'Activation Pending' (I read somewhere I need to disable wireless Apple Car play).
We did once try to do activation at the dealer (not sure why it didn't stick).

Other than loving the car.
Ford did deliver... The wait was worth it...

PS: Dealer - Irwin Ford of Laconia, NH (I worked with sales man Howard Cullen, excellent).

You need to register at Ford.com and the Owner button. Set up a account, set up your VIN and it will activate.

Thanks.
I had done all that.
Even accepting the prompt in the car at the dealer.
Yet the FordPass app kept saying "pending activation".

So finally I called Ford help line.
I was connected to FordPass support in 1 minute.
Gentleman right away spotted the issue.

All I had to do was go to the top of App page and drag down the car icon.
That refreshes the app.
That's all.

You need to take it away from WiFi. (Dealer, House). Someplace with strong over the air and then set it up. Good luck.

Great choose. I wish mine had blue cruise.

Thanks. My FordPass is working now.
BTW: I see you have a Prius Prime.
I just sold mine for a huge profit (after using it for 4 years) and now got MachE.

Nice to hear you had a good experience. It is a great car and a fun ride. The car is perfectly imperfect

What charger rebate?! Congrats on the car!!

I had a Prius prime, I traded it for the Mache.
Great little car.

But the mache is the most fun to drive. You can’t bet torque.
