What is one feature that your car has that you use rarely, but highly value and would be annoyed if @Ford Motor Company removed?
For me, it’s the entry keypad. While I don’t use it too often, it’s a great feature to have and the times I have used it, it’s been incredibly convenient. I hope the @Ford Motor Company decontenting Gods never touch this feature!
Hmmm... I would have thought for you, @Jimrpa, that it would have been the Frunk release in FordPass!! :)

That’s a good addition. Nice to have, but almost never use. It’s usually faster and easier to use the door keypad method instead of fumbling with the phone.

Oh, I know! I rarely use the tow hook receiver in the front bumper! I would hate to see it disappear. Wait… ??

The Trunk Monkey. (Or is it a Frunk Monkey?) It's a keeper. ?

360 degree cameras. Didn't realize how much I liked them until I drove my wife's, Tesla.
What’s a 360 degree camera? Can you eat one? ??

How about the easy-access 12V jump point? Uh… Oops! ??

This is high up on my To Do list. Looks. so. clean!

My answer would be Bluecruise, I think. I hardly have an opportunity to use it, but it's nice to have on the rare occasion I take a longer trip.

I would hate to lose the kick-open Trunk feature.
I don’t like the idea of having to buy another Mach-E (like if mine was in an accident ) because I’d lose it.

I’ve never had it before, now I don’t want to live without it. Like the 360° camera or ultrasonic parking sensors. Luckily those still exist.

I like the keypad entry. Don't use it much but glad we have it.

I was looking at a Cadillac at one time. I was trying to explain to them how Ford has the keypad entry. Which works out good if you go to the beach you can leave your keys and everything your phone included in your car.

He came back and said with Cadillac you can open the doors with your phone.

I told him that defeats the purpose I don't want to bring my phone out to the beach. While I'm the ocean someone can walk by and take it.

He still said opening with your phone is the best way. Told me just hide your phone in your shoe.

He didn't have a clue. Keypad is the best.

Hands-free Blue Cruise.

And I know it will be removed because I am not going to pay what Ford wants me to pay for it after 3-year trial expires.

I’ve never used the door keypad. I’ve used the frunk once. I experimented with the self parking feature but never use it. I’ve never used any of the “entertainment apps.” Except for trying them out, I’ve never used Unbridled or Whisper or OPD modes. I hate the artificial engine noise. I’ve never used the tire goo machine. I’ve never used roadside assistance. I’ve never used Ford’s in-car voice commands or Siri or Alexa, although I have used voice to text message in Apple Car Play. I’ve never used the steering wheel heater and the seat heaters have been on maybe three times. I’m glad all these things exist for others.
