Does anyone else feel like the paint job on their Mach-E is garbage? I have so many chips on this car already. I don't have any on my truck that are noticeable but about a dozen on the Mach-E.

Not my experience. The only chip I've seen in my paint job was the result of a box of stuff falling off a pickup truck driving in front of me. I can't really blame Ford for that.

Oh, and I also got a gouge in my paint when my garage door scraped across my open tail gate. But, again, that's not Ford's fault.

I'm nearing 30,000 miles and only have one chip. Of course, I had the full front, as well as rear and side plastic pieces covered with PPF.

Yeah.... I feel like the paint is thinner than my prior cars and scratches/chips much easier.

No different than any other car I’ve owned.

I’m going to second the OP, chips everywhere on both of my MMEs, I didn’t get PPF due to cost, but on my first, I had to become adept with touch up paint. The only other black car I have ever had was a 20 yo Mercedes, and the paint was soooo much more durable.

My ME is a 2021 and I have many chips. Small but still a chip. It looks as though the paint is thin and hard so it chips easy. 90% of my driving is in town, some interstate.. The car has the "white" paint.
