What Do You Hate About Your Mach-E?

[RedStallion]

The only thing Mach-E is missing is a tear gas dispenser to deal with the antifa crowds and annoying motorcyclists.

Are you suggesting that if people want something fixed or improved, then rather than complain about it they should just sell their car, likely at a significant loss? That seems a bit… hyperbolic.

Or are you simply upset by the word “hate” as opposed to “dislike” or “frustrated by”? That seems a bit persnickety.

Ford can do better. It can fix some obvious bugs, and it can make some relatively easy improvements. And I’d prefer to point those things out rather than sell my car which overall I like very much.

Read my response however you like. What I'm saying is that there are of course things about this car that are odd, some that can be frustrating, some that can be irritating, but nothing that makes me "hate" it. and most of the irritants I've seen are related to owning a 1st generation of a new model vehicle (like ALL of us here. The 2nd Gen cars are a couple years away.) I find people who post things like "I hate that it doesn't charge faster" are spitting into the wind about things that are simply part of life with a MME and if that makes them "hate" it, then they would be happier with a different car. Unless they simply like to moan and complain, in which case there should be a forum section called "Whiners Only."

James Bond's Aston Martin came to mind when I read your post

Exactly. There are things I dislike about the some things associated with the car, there’s nothing I hate about it though.

Yea well like I said, you have the power to discard it if it's that bad for you. It's a car not a child.

I would need to shell out an additional $6-8K even after trade in. So I’m staying put with the Mach-E. I’m learning to live with its massive list of shortcomings.

Thanks for confirming that I read your post right. Roughly equal parts hyperbolic and persnickety.

Just so we’re clear, where does one draw the line between hate and dislike? Can you or @DYohn assemble a spectrum of hate, abhor, loathe, despise, and dislike for sake of accuracy? Oh I forgot detest. Not sure where that fits.

My wife agrees with you.

Sometimes we make choices that we find out later are not the best for us and they have financial costs. I am thinking about my second-ex-wife. But happiness is worth the cost if it's important to us.

I could create a metaphorical spectrum for your enlightenment but politics are banned from this forum.

What you chose to hate about anything, including this car, is entirely up to you. What I chose to hate about it is my choice, not anyone else’s. I don’t chose to hate anything about it. YMMV.

I hate that Ford very quietly took out features for the 2023 model. For example, I really wanted parking assist, saw the controls in my new car for parking assist, and then discovered after purchasing that it doesn't have parking assist. Same with hands free opening for the hatch. It doesn't even have the sensors. Silly me for thinking that this year's model would have the same features as last years.

I wish that the fob had a button for the frunk and that the button in the app actually worked. I wish that the app would tell me how many kilowatt hours a charge used after I unplugged the car.

Too harsh ride
Embarrassingly cheap charge door
No frunc button (2021 job 1) inside or on phone
No heads up display
Software glitches, those are expected, but I can't tolerate PAAK not working

I'm not sure that you're referring to the uncontrolled oscillations of the rear suspension or if you simply think the car has too much actual impact harshness. If it's the "bouncy" feeling, please see this thread. Mark and a bunch of volunteers are buying and modifying shocks and then testing them to see what the ride is like.

Hate that the charge door has such a flimsy locking mechanism.

It should be a true locking door controlled from the inside. Nobody should be able to just pop it open... including a car wash.

Winter efficiency and winter range loss. Frankly, there should be an independent test and universal rating on winter range for EVs. Premium ride on 19” is terrible but vastly improved with 18”s.
