Re: Hey look what error the Mach-E can throw? LOL

For the Mach-E Ford stepped up the EV Certification program and required that any dealer that wishes to sell the Mach-E has to be EV Certified (yeah I know, that didn't work out so well for the FFE! LOL). Here is a training video Ford sent to dealers back in January: https://youtu.be/kEA_WZT15wQ In ...

Re: Range Warning, Where is it?

One would think that seeing you have only 2 miles to go is enough warning?? You are correct: The FFE has no warning that you're about to run out. Considering that the max range of the FFE is about the time the "low fuel light" comes on in a gas car you would expect the low range warning to...

Re: Something to Consider Regarding Battery Degradation

Well that is part of it: Larger fins also means the battery is bigger and there isn't much room where the batteries are under the floor. Using coolant is an effective way to get the heat away from the batteries while still having a compact package. Besides it isn't like car companies haven't been us...

Re: Something to Consider Regarding Battery Degradation

Except that the majority of the SSN errors were not caused by coolant leaks. They were software errors. Once Ford had a patch (or two or three LOL) most of the SSN's went away. Just about everyone else in the industry uses active cooling with coolant except the first generation Leaf. Especially if y...

Re: "Yellow Wrench" light while driving in the rain... later red warning!

Did your car get the recall fixed for that? (It may not be a recall but I know there is an issue there.) There is a high-voltage wiring issue with the battery near the drivers side rear-wheel. Water can get in there and cause some corrosion in the connectors. For the fix I believe they clean up that...

Hey look what error the Mach-E can throw? LOL

Check it out a possible error from the Mach-E: https://www.macheforum.com/site/attachments/annotation-2020-02-18-194354-jpg.1558/ I say possible error as this popped up in a video of the London reveal where the reviewer was sitting in the front talking while the center display ran through a whole bu...

Re: Blind Spot Monitor Function

The Mach-E is going to have Ford's Copilot 360 v2 which includes a ton of stuff, more than just simple blind-spot monitoring. https://www.ford.com/suvs/mach-e/2021/?gnav=header-all-vehicles Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking BLIS with Cross-Traffic Alert Lane-Keeping System Rear V...

Re: Mustang Mach-E

Well I have one reserved whatever that means in Ford speak LOL

(Looking at the reservation FAQ: You give your $$ to Ford, they don't guarantee anything and you get your $$ back once you've placed an order with a dealer. So what does putting in a reservation get me other than loaning Ford $500?)
