Sandy Munro Mach-E Review with Chief Engineer Donna Dickson

[generaltso]

That thread says Level 3, not at home, Level 2. Does the actual TSB cover L2 as well?

Since Level 3 isn’t a real thing, they may or may not have meant DCFC. But it says it reduces the noise when charging at 10.5kW and above, which you can certainly hit with Level 2.

Cool! I'll be looking into that ASAP then! Thanks for sharing.

That's the way it is. Remember the first flat, Plasma TV's? They got bigger, better and cheaper every year, and the the LCD's came. Why would it be different with EV's?

I think the concerns are leaks along with too many hoses and connectors. The Ford engineers was great but indicated the rear engine and cooling systems require re-engineering and they needed to just something out to market.

We are torn because we want a EV but reliability is important to us. We have already accepted the phone as a key sucks and plan on getting an additional key fob.

Yes, I would recommend a second key fob. I'll probably go back to get another. The cooling system may have many hoses, but it does seem effective. The cabin cooling is excellent, and based on my limited experience you might want to confirm that in other EVs.

What is it that Sandy doesn't like about the rear motor? She obviously knew what he was referring to but I didn't catch it. Anyone know?

He doesn't like the oil squirters and the redundancy Ford used. He preferred the front motor with the coolant pathway machined into the housing

He also preferred the press fit to hold the stator in the housing approach of the front, instead of the long thru bolts on the back... Because, Fasteners.

Welp, I guess I'll trust the Ford engineers did a good enough job and if not it should be covered by warranty.

What I want to know is where can you get one of those Mach-E vests? Fall is coming and that would be nice.

And, I found it!

What model year switch to android from sync? I know it was mentioned as 2023. Was the introduction year or model year(which would be MY24)?
