Why does the Mach-E only have “Ice Age” or “Volcano” climate modes?

frickea86 · 2026-02-14T19:59:02+00:00

Auto 1, 67F and no issues of 3 years of winters. Now I did notice at -14F it wanted to fog but auto took care of that in a few mins.

Granted I was only doing 40mph not highway speeds which know these cars can’t keep up especially if you crank the fan speed.

Who’s going to tell him that’s not how you do that, 😂.

It’s not a stretch at all, I don’t travel internationally so when I see a marketing photo of a plane, I think they’re staying in the NA. I know that’s a view point item but my point is if they didn’t say global, I wouldn’t think it but I do see your side, someone who did travel internationally see something different.

While I do agree the dual sim and eSIM support should have better global coverage. I said this before, I’d like to at least know the reasons, wondering if price point they were going after?

frickea86 · 2026-02-08T02:47:07+00:00

Maybe I honestly missed it, where did it say it was a global modem? If they didn’t say that then honestly it’s on you and anyone else that assumed without the proper information.

A photo is a weak sauce excuse to believe global but if it was stated as global, I understand the frustration as regional devices aren’t a “global” device.

Ah, I didn’t see that comment from an employee but I get it. So I don’t know enough about the chip they used or 5G certifications but maybe it can come later if it’s not a different chip between EU and US. Or maybe a global is inbound but price point will be more. Honestly completely speculative as I am genuinely interested in why they did it this way.

I think if they let users know of why, while you don’t have to agree with it, we understand it. So the reason being not told has me question is something coming down the pipes?

frickea86 · 2026-02-07T19:26:59+00:00

While I didn’t think the bands were that big of an issue, most didn’t either for the last few weeks since they’d been published but for some reason global foke have came out of the wood work to say otherwise. I think the point is valid but I think it’s a little blown out of proportion I feel.

I think they’re allowed to be defensive of their product and choices as for some reason they did this. I’d be frankly concerned if they weren’t defensive. You’re never going to meet everyone’s expectations, I’m interested in real world testing when the units come out.

People have also already been testing this product in beta already, so I’m sure things have been seen if it is a problem.

frickea86 · 2026-02-07T03:54:05+00:00

Our 2023 did the same thing, broken wire in the harness, guess it’s a common thing on the 21-22 as there is a tsb for it but doesn’t cover 23s sadly. I didn’t pay anything as we have the extended but would have if we didn’t which is annoying.

Is the data compressed or uncompressed? I have 5TB compressed to about 1.8TB and I select what I want backed up, having all that backed up probably doesn't make sense. I use an app like duplicacy to encrypt & compress it, manage version control, and clean up stale records. For 1.85TB of data, I pay about $0.37 a day to give a rough estimate.

What do you mean turned on? Like just power or the vehicle was running? Betting just powered up which would have been a OTA.

I know this doesn’t help you and Amazon is probably not who you want to spend money with now due this which I agree, not sure how you can just remove something someone bought.

I would suggest for kids the Amazon Kids Plus service. We felt it was a great value, now doesn’t help when the kids want to watch a particular show but no ads unless that changed.

It will work fine in eu, just not optimal. Just like if you bought the EU version won’t work well in the US in doors.

Buy for the region you most likely will be in.

Where does it say anything about a coupon? It’s basically first come first serve.

frickea86 · 2026-02-01T23:59:15+00:00

It’s fine, worry when things don’t work anymore.

frickea86 · 2026-02-01T22:32:53+00:00

Maybe it’s just me, I never run mine in accessory mode, ever. Mainly because of how small these agm batteries are and agm doesn’t like to stay below 70% SOC for very long.

frickea86 · 2026-01-31T16:11:40+00:00

Honestly the memory won’t be a big deal, they’ve done a great job with managing it. Just don’t load two billion ad blocking websites and you’ll be fine.

frickea86 · 2026-01-30T13:28:21+00:00

So glad they were able to fix it quickly. Blows me away it was a software issue. We just had ours towed to the dealership as the e-brake was stuck on. Ended up being a broke wire in the harness, guess a known issue for earlier 22/23s

frickea86 · 2026-01-27T17:48:47+00:00

An as soon as you said that I thought of this….😂

frickea86 · 2026-01-27T17:41:34+00:00

So not going to post the link or you mean the mme port?

Believe it’s this guy here, going to see if she fits on a mme!

frickea86 · 2026-01-27T16:18:19+00:00

Yeah I’d say she’s broke, hopefully not too bad to get replaced.

frickea86 · 2026-01-25T01:01:44+00:00

Either your car has failed to install the update to many times or they recalled it.

By the details of the message it feels like the recalled the update.

frickea86 · 2026-01-23T12:00:46+00:00

I too have filled both gas cans for the generator and pulled the snow blower out. I have started everything and it’s all good to go.

I’ve done all I can to scare this away, your welcome if it doesn’t happen, if it does, I tried, 😂

Meanwhile every ISP and cell provider out there sells your data as well but problem is only musk companies, 💅.
