2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E AWD

"All the recalls I got were simple and quick software updates (and once checking and potentially zip tying a cable), all for issues I didn't experience. Being called a recall just meant Ford foot the bill to have the dealership do these updates for me. TLDR; The "recall" was, for most people AFAIK, preventive and easy. The car has, so far, being more reliable than any other car I've owned or seen (I.e., including friends and family's)"

"Found an *amazing* deal on a 2025 Rally that I can't take advantage of, so... All, I was doing some pre-shopping for a used Rally to replace my 2022 GT (non-PE), whose Ford Options "lease" expires at the end of June, when I came across an \*amazing\* deal on a "used" 2025 that has literally 12 miles on it. It's at Lenoir City Ford in Lenoir City, TN, and as of this afternoon, it's still in stock with a price of $42,900! That's **with** the extra-cost Eruption Green and Dark Carbonized Gray wheels options. (Window sticker is here.) I was speaking with a salesperson named Cecil Ball, and had gotten as far as figuring out delivery cost from Tennessee to where I live on Long Island in NY, when I ran some numbers. If it were June now, this would be a \*no-brainer\*--I'd be saving between $10k and $15k even from X-Plan pricing and with current incentives. Unfortunately, though, when I add in the 7 more payments on my 2022, plus the cost of insuring two cars for the next 6 months when I only need one, the delta wasn't enough to pull the trigger. According to the Carfax, the vehicle was originally shipped to a dealer in IA in May 2025 but then purchased and titled in September for whatever reason by Ford corporate (maybe that other dealer went under?) but then sold on in auction, so Lenoir City must list and sell it as used, even though it has barely moved onto and off trucks and has all but 3 months left in its manufacturer warranties. I'm posting this here so that if someone else is in a better position to jump on this deal, you know about it. I have \*zero\* connection with this dealer or salesperson, but if another happy Mach-E owner can take advantage of it, give Cecil a call (his number is on the site). I'd be thrilled."

"Ford Mustang Mach-E breaks Guinness World Record after 569 mile-trip on a single charge While I'm more for creature comforts and charging more myself (crank the AC/heat, use the USB ports, etc.) the article is interesting about how far the guy went with a MME, and below the link is some pointers to maximize range. **Article**: Ford Mustang Mach-E breaks Guinness World Record after 569 mile-trip on a single charge **Hypermiling 101: Maximizing Electric Vehicle Range** **1. Gentle Acceleration:** Electric vehicles, particularly performance-focused vehicles like the Mustang Mach-E, can deliver near instant torque with a single press of the accelerator pedal, making it tempting to accelerate aggressively. However, this can significantly reduce range. To maximize range, drivers should adopt a gentle approach, gradually increasing momentum to reach the desired speed. Hard acceleration consumes energy, ultimately diminishing the vehicle's overall range. **2. Utilize Regenerative Braking:** One of the key advantages of electric vehicles is regenerative braking. This system captures kinetic energy during deceleration and converts it back into usable electricity, effectively extending the car's range. By utilizing regenerative braking and one pedal drive, drivers minimize the need for traditional braking, further enhancing efficiency. **3. Tire Selection and Pressure:** Tire selection and pressure plays a crucial role in optimizing range. Choosing tires with low rolling resistance is essential, as they minimize energy loss during driving. Maintaining the proper tire pressure is equally important. Over inflated tires decrease the rolling resistance whereas underinflated tires increase it and impact range positively. Even a slight reduction in tire pressure can negatively affect the vehicle's performance. **4. Minimize Weight:** Excessive weight significantly impacts an electric vehicle's range. Drivers should strive to minimize the load carried in the vehicle, including passengers and cargo. Every additional pound adds to the energy required to move the vehicle, ultimately reducing the distance it can travel on a single charge. **5. Minimize Energy Consumption from Accessories:** Using features like air conditioning can also significantly impact range. While these features are convenient during everyday driving, drivers should use them sparingly to maximize efficiency when engaging in hypermiling driving behavior."

"First NameKawikaJoinedNov 24, 2024Threads0Messages26Reaction score11LocationSanta BarbaraVehicles We have a 2023 GTPE and I have gone from Whisper drive to engage and back and never got a charge that exceeded 260 miles considering last charge guesstimate. Well, I have been driving in Unbridled mode only for 2 months and the charge mileage has come up to 286 after a month of Unbridled only. First NameSimonJoinedSep 21, 2025Threads0Messages2Reaction score2LocationBrighton, MIVehicles One thing that impacts range is tire pressure. If you set the tires to be 4psi higher than the factory settings, you'll experience better handling and higher mileage, albeit a slightly firmer ride. This is one of the first things they tell you at a Defensive Driving Course. Manufacturers have settings that are tuned more to ride comfort than performance, so it's a good idea to bump the pressures up."

"Such a sad day So I’d like to present my very first photos with my 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E Select AWD. I want to say that I only had the vehicle for maybe 3 months. Here’s what happened: I got a call from the Ford dealership (local) that they found a Mach-E for me around the price I was looking to pay. The only thing was that they wanted to make sure I was ready to put a down payment on it immediately because they had to purchase it from another dealership. Once I gave my okay, the same day they purchased the vehicle was the same day I put in my down payment and signed the paperwork and drove off with the vehicle. I wish I knew then what I only know just more recently, which was that the vehicle itself was a lemon. I wish on that day I had immediately asked for the CarFax and had made sure everything was good. The first week I had it, I didn’t really notice anything wrong with it. I was loving it and driving around as much as I could. Then about a month in I started to notice some electrical issues and connection issues with my devices. I took it to the dealership and they had it for a moment but they ultimately just updated it and said it should be good. The other thing was that it was suppose to have the Ford Blue Cruise on it as it’s what they told me was added to it. The fact is, it didn’t, and when they tried to manually put in the software (because the vehicle already had the hardware for it), it just wasn’t sticking. A few weeks later, I go to put something in the back of the car and I notice an earthy smell. I lift up the platform in the back and discover MOLD growing. To make matters worse, I got an email with the CarFax. When I opened it, let me tell you how absolutely shocked I was to find out that the vehicle had actually been in a major front end collision before where ALL airbags deployed. I take this information and everything to the dealership who end up actually shocked and inform me that the dealer they bought it from never disclosed any of this information. Now I did do my part in contacting multiple lawyers, however, the cheapest one I found wanted a $5k retainer (which I didn’t have). I decided to just work with the dealership as they are(were) a reputable dealership. They end up taking the vehicle in promising to fix everything that’s either broken or needs to be repaired. Three weeks later, they inform me that they just want to buy back the vehicle the exact price I paid for it and give me my down payment back because they found out that because of the prior accident it had, it was never properly fixed and so any time it rained or if I took it to a car wash, it was getting inside the inside of the car (behind panels) and because of that noticed about $10k worth of damage including corroded electrical (explains the electrical issues). I ended up taking them up on their offer and they paid off my vehicle loan plus interest and gave me back my down payment (well, most of it). I’m so sad y’all,"

"5 weeks in the shop (No diagnoisis) *Update now 11 weeks* Update 02/11/2025 In 2 days this will be 11 weeks in the shop. It has been over 3 weeks with no response from Ford engineering. The local tech has reached out to the field service engineer (FSE) Sergio 8 times in the last 3 weeks and the handful of responses were that they still have not heard back from engineering. About 3 weeks ago the tech recieved a "break out box" that is supposed to allow them to monitor all car systems and simotaniously detach one module at a time. This process proved inconclusive and there is still no diagnoises on what the problem is. I did ask for a printout of the work order from the dealership for my records. This did remind me that my car is in for 2 items that I indicated and 1 that the dealership found. CS : "Electrical system drain - service required" displayed CS : "Eye-Tracking/bluecruise not working" and the fun surprise 3. Coolant low in both resvoirs. At this point nothing has been diagnoised and zero progress has been made. I requested, with Dorene from Ford, to resubmit another buyback request on my behalf and to indicate that I'm looking for a buyback because it is under warranty and it can not be fixed. I doubt this will go anywhere but I'm grasping at straws at this point. Also spoke with the local Service Manager. He thinks it is a software issue and that Ford doesn't know how to fix it. I told him about the buyback request getting denied and then submitting another. He requested Dorene's e-mail and he is going to reach out to his regional ford contact, "who is many levels above the woman you spoke to" and see if he can help push for a buyback as well. I spoke with a lemon law attorney as well and they indicated that I do have a case and they could move forward but their firm would only be going after financial compensation and expectations were 3-5k. If I was looking for a buyback or starting a lawsuit to get more from Ford they could refer me to another firm that could help me with that. They did let me know that with everything they've been working on lately Ford is fighting extremely hard to not buy back any electric vehicles or Broncos. They told me that they really dug their heels in within the last 3-6 months and it seems like a high level policy decision within Ford. I'd be happy with any suggestions on how to move forward at this point. Ford is incompetent and dragging their heels in regards to my vehicle and I feel like it's leaving me no options. **End Update** UPDATE 01/09/2025. 6 weeks in the shop today. No progress has been made since my original post. Our vehicle is a 2022' Ford Mustang Mach E GT Performance Edition that was purchased used in April of 2024 with ~4k miles from a dealership in Ohio and we had it shipped to Florida. The vehicle currently only has ~10k miles on it. I got a call back from Dorene at Ford (corporate) and my buyback was denied for being out of lemon law guideines for the state of Ohio, w"

"Signed Lease for Ford Mustang Mach-E but No Delivery Due to Recall – Paying for a Car I Don’t Have. Hey everyone, hoping for some advice. I signed a lease for a **2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E** on **June 20, 2025** through a dealership in Washington. The car was under an **active recall** at the time (which I found out after signing), and I was told verbally it would be delivered by June 27. As of today (June 24), **I still don’t have the car**. The problem: * My **lease payments have already started** (first payment processed as part of signing day payment - I have given zero downpayment though, only registration charges and first month lease included) * The lease is held by **Ford Motor Credit.** * I’m now **paying around $500/month** for a car I don’t even have yet * I’m also spending **money on a rental car weekly** just to get around The dealer says they’re waiting on Ford due to the recall, but that’s not helping me financially. I’m not sure if I should just wait until June 27, but this is starting to feel really unfair. I’m effectively paying for a vehicles and not using it. **What I’ve done so far:** * Spoke to the dealer (only got a vague "should be resolved by June 27") Has anyone been in a similar situation where: 1. The car wasn’t delivered after lease signing? 2. You were charged before you physically received the vehicle? 3. You successfully got a refund, lease adjustment, or some kind of reimbursement? Would appreciate any tips on what to say to Ford Credit or how to escalate this. Thanks in advance — I’m burning cash daily on a rental and feeling stuck. Edit : the reason for me getting worried about this is that there are news reporting about fix coming as late as Q3 end."
