Thanks so much for making this, you're the only person I could find that did something similar. Dumb that it's not published somewhere lol

Ford Art Hill FRAUD I was impressed with the Ford Mustang Mach -E at the Chicago Auto Show. I am 81 and enjoy a nice car to ride in. I happen to be passing by “Art Hill Ford” 901 W. Lincoln Hwy, Merrillville, Indiana 46410. 219 738 5300. I stopped in. I met salesman Gregory Lottis. We discussed the car. Then I / we test drove it. I was very impressed. I drove in with a Toyota Prius very good shape. We talked price Gregory offered me a nice with my trade in out the door price. The he enhanced the deal by telling me Ford will give me “Three years of FREE charging at network locations. He even held up his hand with three fingers showing. Then he also said Ford has a “0” interest loan for 3 years. I excepted the offer. I signed all the documents. Then Gregory asked me for a credit card. I questioned that. He said to set up the load appellation. The needed a credit rating. I have an excellent credit rating. I handed him my Discover Card. He inputted into the system. I was excepted for the “0” interest loan. Then Gregory did something I objected to. He said he opened a “Gmail” account for me. I strongly protested. He said, “it is done”. Gregory asked me for my cell phone. I said I do not have a cell phone. He said I needed a cell phone to have access to the charging stations. The cell phone will also show me the charging stations in network. I stated well the sales is off. I do not want a cell phone. I have a landline phone at home and that is all in needed. Gregory retrieved an old cellphone of his. He said I can use it but can not make any calls on it. I excepted it. He showed me the “Ford network appl”. He explained how to use it when charging my new Ford Mustang Mach - E. After a couple of charges of my car. Gregory called and told me I needed to get my own smartphone. I soon will not be able to use his. I ordered a smartphone at $32.00 a month. I told Gregory I would not have purchased the car for that very reason. I needed to bring the phone to Gregory to set up the “Ford appl”. He did. Then he said the next time I needed to charge my car. I needed to tap the phone to the charging station. It will recognize it and charge my car. After several charges. I received my Discover card. My credit card was charged for every in network charge. I called Gregory. He said I needed to come in with my phone and he will find out why I am being charged. I demanded to talk to the manager. Manager Steven Bukvich presented himself to me. I explained about not getting the three years of FREE charging at the in network charges. Steven looked on his computer. He said my information was incorrect. I must have inputted something wrong. I told him Gregory inputted 100% of my information. Steven reinsured me that he would correct everything now. I would receive the three year FREE charges. Charges were still being downloaded to my Discover card. Then Monday MAY 6. Steven left me a message on my answering machine to come in again. Sunday night I E-Mailed Steven, I have several doctor appointments. Call me (home phone) before 8:45 AM. I got to Art Hill about 10:00 AM. I asked for Steven. I was told he is in a meeting. He will not be available until after 1:PM. I got angry I demanded to speak to Steven Bukvich. Steven told me he “E-mail” me not to come in. Steven noticed I was wearing a video camera. He demanded I shut it off. I said NO. I need documentation that he promised me “THREE Years” free charges. He again told me I screwed up. He needed to straighten things out. He ask me to give him another week. WE had about an hour of heated load discussion. He said I mad very stupid mistakes. He needed to correct them. Then Gregory entered the heated discussion. Steven asked me to give him another week. Then he asked me to send him copies of the discover card statements. I E-mail all the statements. Steven Bukvich called me he asked me to come in. He said he has an expert Armon Peloza. He will correct the errors and I will get my Three years of FREE charge. I met Armon Peloza. Armon asked me to open my Discover card statements. I did. He just made a printout of the statements. He said Steven did not receive them. Now me made sure Steven got the statements. I made about ten 70 mile round trips to Art Hill. To date. NO FREE charges. Fraud

I noticed the HV battery health did not dip below 100%. Did it really not go below that during that test drive?

Thanks, but hide the number of your plate….

Hi, great video. Just a question : Can you unlock features on the Mach-E that maybe are hidden at this moment ? Mike

I hate my mme gt. Has to be the worst car I have ever owned. Drove it off the lot, two days later had to take it in. Havnt seen the car in quite some time and ford cannot tell me when we will get it back. Buy back initiated. Do yourself a favor if your thinking about buying and ford electrified vehicle. Don’t!

Great video! I, too, wondered why the heck you placed the wheel chocks but that’s a brilliant hack!

0-60 times in each mode with 80%+ battery

As silly easy as a rear wiper replacement is, thanks for making this video! I was 0-2 on ordering rear wiper blades for our MachE. Websites have it all wrong as to what fits and what doesn't. I just ordered the Trico and am really looking forward to getting this thing replaced!

I think you should use a card board, hopefully results will be different.

thinking about getting a mach-e and i will deff be getting this. Honestly think this was an oversight on fords end since that jack point is lower than the battery rails

nice ride man, that color is sweet

The Mach E is a very nice vehicle. It didn’t need the Mustang name to survive. If Ford wants to make an electric mustang then make it look like a Mustang. Otherwise the style and performance of the Mach E is fabulous.

Shame they ruined an otherwise grsst design by omitting the most important Starvis2 feature - HDR.

Hi there! Thanks for the review. Have a question on the U3000 Thinkware remote LIVE view feature....Basically, my intention is to view my car, LIVE from any remote location, even when the car is "SWITCHED OFF" (that's the key word). So my question is, if I connect the U3000 camera with a hardwire kit or if I use an external battery, like the ivolt Xtra or Powercell8, which will actually require me in both of the above cases to connect to the fuse box and this will eventually give the U3000 camera a constant power source alongwith having an internet connection inserted in the usb port of the battery, will I be able to see my car LIVE remotely from any location even when the car is "SWITCHED OFF"? Please let me know - thanks, Terence

What’s that app called??

What made you pick the GT over the Premium? Would you buy GT again? I’m leaning towards GT (not performance) but honestly the Premium would fit my needs fine - but still want GT

Guys and girls. Before you install the connecting wire from your rear camera across the top of your roof pillars, make sure you won't be interfering with the deployment of any curtain airbags. Many of these have an anchor point part-way up the A-pillar, for example, which makes routing the wire across the top of the A-pillar to the windshield inadvisable unless you remove the trim and go behind the airbag or, even better, down one side and up the other.. If in doubt, remove the trim to see what you're dealing with.

Good job

I love driving the MME GT but there are times I wish I could have afforded the GTPE. If for some reason I had to replace the GT, I don’t think I’d get another one. Instead, I would wait til NACS was native and some of the performance and charging limiters were removed. Great video on a terrific car!

Good video! 24000 miles on my '22 California Route One. Curious, where did you get that app that shows the battery health?

I have a 22 GT as well with no issues. What app are you using on your phone?

Great video and great to hear that you're still having fun with it and would still have picked it again! To another happy year! - Liv

Still loving my First Edition and its holding up just as well, no issues and one of the best cars I've ever owned. Been a bit frustrating waiting for the Blue Cruise update they keep postponing though, last i heard we're all going straight to 1.4. I just wish Ford would be more straightforward with customers about the timing and delays...at least they offered me 3 more years for $600. I'd never pay thr crazy price theyre aaking new buyers but think $200/year is fair... assuming they ever update it 😀

Nice I’ll have to check my HV battery health.

I've had my GTPE since June, still loving it. Good video

Cool video, lots of info thanks

Great video! -Nate

I really want to get this U3000 2-channel with external battery pack for my new GMC and decided to watch your video. Much respect, sir. Great job on the installation. Thanks for taking the time to film it as an aid to the rest of us. It is VERY much appreciated.

Does this do anything with errors that occur during charging?

How is it after 9 months? Did you have to any troubles with the glue or something else? I'm thinking about those high pressure water machines, imagining everything falling apart xD

i have thinkware u3000 and its very lame. first - during setup it keeps disconnecting phone and turning parking mode ON, whats very stupid second- you have to connect external battery to avoid ultra power saving mode being switched on by itself - unless you turn off battery protection, whats silly since you can select on what Voltage camera will turn off. i have 2+2 batteries in my pickup and small solar hooked up - still wants their battery, and its even more silly in EV - thats one huge battery They could (but wont) do it perfectly - to give you option on what Voltage what mode goes ON, power saving 12.3 ultra power saving 12.1 turn off camera 12.0 could by done by software, easly

I waited too long and my POS 2013 WRX STI grenaded on me right at 110,000k miles... Now I have to go through this whole new class action lawsuit and all this carp.... As a lifelong car guy, I will NOT miss having an ICE automobile.... test drove the GTPE and can't wait to get one home....

Can you comment on the parking mode functionality? I’m concerned that given the meshed windshield, the radar won’t be of much use. I also saw something commenting on the back radar being blocked by the tinted window? I also have a tinted window but I don’t feel like cutting it.

the Mach E is a better overall car than the death trap tesla.. plus being seen in a tesla = wearing a maga hat in public.. Hard pass

What kept throwing me off is you hardwired the green to the battery constant. Does that pull when the car is off? If not I can’t understand the reason for this. I have the q1000 in my Ranger and F150 hardwired directly to the battery with no issues. In my Mach-e I got the volt mini with the Q1000. My set up doesn’t have the green wire. So my input to the battery only has a ground and an ACC fuse tap. My output from the battery is, red yellow black, and hardwired. Your videos is a bit long but I like it that way so I’m not wondering if you edited out something I might have a question on.

Thanks for taking the time to make this video - I noticed you had a document printed out you were referencing - that is what I am looking for - a good definition for each of the variables that the VEEPEAK can display. Some are self-explanatory but some are obscure and I’m not sure how relevant they are or are not for my Lightning. Curious if you or anyone else has found any docs for the various EV related variables? Thanks!

Your car looks great! That little jumping spider resting on it thinks so too! You could make a video of your upcoming road trip to the PNW expo in Oregon. That's gonna be a long drive. Plus you're getting a scorpion!

Happy for you dusty!!

Thank you for making this. It answered my question about auto braking. Perhaps putting some clothing-like material on the inflatable would be a better simulation. Hopefully, you don't freak out anyone mistaking it for a real child!

Can i Drive to a car wash with my mach e ? Ev

How has your mach e held up so far in regards to microscratches/swirlmarks? The dual stripe pattern looks great against that color. Does great breaking up the blue. 👌

Great video good sir! Highly instructive for when I get my unit.

I'm having trouble finding the link to the multi-functional knife

Which model are you driving

Which model are you driving

Exceptional video, followed it for my FixCamX installation and it made the installation a whole heck of a lot easier. I do have one question, though. Have you ever seen the Error Message " Electrical System Drain Service Required" on the MME when starting or on the FordPass App? Perhaps hardwiring parking mode. Thanks, in advance.

Can you share with me the phone holder link or name please

Beautiful

Thanks you for show us the installation, but wouldn't your passenger will kick the battery to close to their feet I hope not. I going to buy Thinkware U3000 but not sure if I should buy the external battery because it is EV car my 12V battery does charge from the main battery I believed they install 12 battery to keep everything as 12 Volts so NO one can get Zap & get Killed by 87 KW battery. Even I did look under my seats no space.
