It's happened more the last week or so but when I get in the car and start it the big screen doesn't turn on. The dash screen does turn on. Sometimes stopping and staring the car fixes it or waiting sometimes 2 minutes for the screen to finally turn on.

Start with the easy stuff- sync reset and/or take the negative cable off your 12v battery for 10 min.

Might need a trip to the dealership to update all your modules if that doesn’t work.

If it’s coming on, but delayed, it sounds like a software issue.

Wow! slow down!

Our 2021 MME frequently had touchscreen crashes shortly after startup but can't say that it ever delayed startup as you describe.

My first question would be do you have any Phone as a Key setup and/or anything set to auto-connect to CarPlay or Android Auto?

If so, I would say test out starting the car a few times with only a keyfob and see if the problem persists. As in, leave the phones completely behind far away in the house for these tests to guarantee they aren't trying to connect. I did have my Android Auto stubbornly connect even when I had bluetooth turned off because AA connects over 5GHz first I think and then forces the bluetooth back on.

If you have any hope of being happy with your Mach-E I would say a dealership is a last resort, lol.
