Great! They put an enhanced problem reporting package on mine, too.

My home is an EMI chamber, I am considering renting it out for testing.

A glimpse into my home.... I am an IT tech guy, what can I say...

3 Access Points (UBNT) - One SSID, they cover my entire home
28~ Z-Wave PLUS devices (Light Switches / motion / door locks and sensors)
Zigbee devices, I forget how many
Chamberlin Hub with two garage doors talking to it
50 + Network devices half are wireless etc.
5 security cameras POE / 1 RING DB
2 wall IPADS / 5 Echo's etc etc
2 HVAC gateways which are wireless to 2 wall controllers
1 Directv Gateway for wireless video to 2 TV's
1 Proview Hub (shades)
2 Hubitat Hubs
1 Sonos Hub

Electrical Main Breaker near the right rear quarter panel of the MME
Electrical feeder cable from MAIN to breaker panel in basement which run parallel to the garage inside wall on the right of the MME
50 AMP outlet 3 ft in front of the MME

Hmm, .... This sounds bad on paper...

No I am not moving and no to the other stuff

While I don't have major power right next to my Mach-E (It's on the other side of the garage), I do have a home full of the same sorts of devices you do (Z-Wave, Zigbee, Lutron, 39 Wifi Clients currently connected, about 12 wired network devices, few Cameras, various hubs, etc all on Unifi gear) and I don't have any issues with my Mach-E. I even have some shady circuits in the home, that I've mostly corrected, but still causes annoyances here and there.

Hope they're able to pinpoint your issue, can imagine it's pretty frustrating!

nah what do you mean ? ... But it might take me a while to hunt this EMI thing down.... Might have to name my MME - "EMI"

This is how Skynet becomes sentient.

this is probably the one add on package I’m glad I don’t have. ?

It's so bizarre the inconsistency of issues between cars. I'm watching a guy drive from CA to FL in his GB FE, absolutely zero issues. Charging stations are great. Car is performing like a champ. No errors. What is the factor that leads some cars, even of the same trim, to be fine and others error prone?

spot on. GB FE NY. I am a little nervous, but still zero problems. not even a peep from my driver's display. I fear it is just a matter of time, and think I finally have decided which dealer service to try. Maybe I can make it problem free to the first big OTA updates?

You will be fine, it’s a very small community of folks with issues.

How about a 2 chamberlain garage doors with a hub?

I can also try swapping sides of the garage as a test.

sounds like you are all set now? No new issues?

We drove to FL and all is well!

Well the same thing happened to two different Air Force jets months apart. I was flying the second one! Anything at your house transmitting at 38.85 Mhz? There were only 733 A-10s built and Ford's built a lot more MMEs. But you are right - let the manufacturer figure it out.

Love the Warthog!

Have you tried to charge outside the garage? It might even be interference affecting the EVSE which causes the fault. I can't remember if you mentioned this, but what EVSE are you using? I imagine there would be more issues with a connected EVSE.

I'm sure you'll be happy when you figure this out.

My garage doors are plain 'ole Liftmasters with Z-Wave controllers attached for the smarts.

Well, today is the second day of owning the car and I have the power train fault message. So I guess I just have to take it to the dealer?

Yes but note the powertrain message is very generic and used for many different errors. How or where did you get the message?
