Update, I didn’t have time to proofread. There are some voice dictation mistakes if Apple would just manage their products with their integration maybe my microphone would work better for voice dictation.
Personally, I'm elated that you enjoy driving your MME and you appear satisfied with the purchase. I wish everyone felt the same.
I did notice that! Pretty weird if you ask me. I just 2-way ignore. Life is too short.
No one is hating. We want Ford to do better. I enjoy my car, but it’s a far cry from being problem free.
I agree. I've commented previously that the software functionality reflects the system architecture. News to Farley: Does not matter if you use 150 vendors or 1,500 vendors, if the system is architected correctly and the Application Programming Interface is determined, then the vendors will produce what Ford specifies. The Farley interview confirms that Ford did not develop a sound and comprehensive architecture which would guide the software developers. Second item I've said previously is to test, test, test and test. A comprehensive and sound architecture provides the basis for effective testing.
Of course it charges w/ key-on state and while charging the HVB. It's running ~35 amps of accessories. Unless there's been a strategy update regarding a parked vehicle, its own manual states that every 48hrs the vehicle will turn on the DCDC to provide 384 watt hours of 'charge'. Given the complaints of people having to do the poorly thought out 'jump' procedure, making a change to the strategy is a logical move. Not because it helps out the customer in a meaningful way, but to just save calls to the customer service line and reduces roadside assistance costs.That is wildly incorrect. It will charge the LVB when it needs to be charged. It charges it when it's low voltage. It charges it when it's charging the HVB and it charges it when it's being driven. All of which can happen multiple times in a day.
Here's a 48hr snapshot where it charged ~13 times in 48 hours.
And here's a copy of the LVB being topped off by the HVB for low voltage twice in 24 hours.
Yes, each time you get that notification the DCDC kicks in to charge the LVB.
This drives me nuts, too. I think lots of manufacturers "lock-out" the camera button above a certain speed, but the Mach-E has it configured to lockout at a much too low speed. My Audi camera will turn on below 10mph (I believe), while the MME has to be at 5 or below.
Agreed. Though the "guest" issue has been fixed for me for the past couple of months, though it happened to me again just a couple of days ago so perhaps it's gone from being a frequently occurring bug to a rare one. ?
Yes. Makes me wonder if Ford is going to bring the feature to the MME in a future update? Ford, if you're reading, this MME GT owner is very interested in V2H! I hope at the very least that it will be an available feature on all the Gen-2 models.
Same. The other day, I got in my MME to run errands and drove off without realizing I didn't have the FOB because PAAK worked seamlessly. Got to my destination and realized I didn't have my FOB. When I was ready to drive on to my next destination, car refused to start, of course. Used my backup passphrase to continue on.
I believe this is simply the way cars have been built for decades (not counting Tesla). Ford made changes to their "Gen 1" EVs so allow them to support OTA updates, but did so while mostly keeping the historical/legacy approach of integrating dozens of different module suppliers as a way to save time and get to market faster. A bit disappointing for those of us who suffer from issues, but I think somewhat understandable from Ford's perspective.
Our opinions certainly do matter. If we're happy then we're more likely to buy more Ford EVs in the future, rather than going to another brand - and I'm sure Ford has seen the surveys showing that current EV buyers have less brand loyalty than traditional auto buyers. That can be a blessing or a curse. Then there's the fact that many of us do get asked questions by people who see the car, and people run searches and may read over our posts. If all of us were saying we'd never buy another Ford EV, that could negatively impact Ford's sales in the EV space. On the other hand, if all of us were singing the Mach-E's praises it would instill more confidence in potential buyers, and they may be willing to take the chance or pay a bit extra if they believe they're getting a more trustworthy product.
True, but also reminds me of the business saying... "if your customer is happy, he will tell all of his friends. If your customer is unhappy, he will tell the whole world."
Thanks for pointing this out. This blurb was in the Wikipedia article when I copied it over and I've only been focused on the update table thus far, hence it living on in the GitHub. (I also have a 2022.)
For what it's worth, I'm not ignoring failures, that's just not the purpose of the list. The list is basically just the release notes, plus whatever module info I get from the always helpful members of this site with FDRS. I'm happy to include a "Known Bugs" section, if someone were to compile it.
