Day 1 - love the car but a few things that could've made it better

[Lakersfreak]

There is interference between the back of the mirror and the back of the sensor housing on the windscreen. I have the same issue as I'm 6'1"ish. I had to get used to angling the mirror towards me a bit to allow the vertical height I want.

I did the push top left first then position where you want it trick and it worked for me!

7) I know this is a known issue, but my wireless charging pad works like 50% of the time, and went it does work, it doesn't actually charge . Who's had success by removing the case?

Mine works with MagSafe case on

interesting. Maybe it's my case. I will remove my case next time I drive and see what happens. I have zero issues with other home or car wireless charging pads, so I didn't think it was my case.

Probably explains why wireless charging has been removed from MY25

My biggest issue with my S650 is no nameplate on the strut brace lol

If you’re still looking for that nameplate for your strut brace, CJ Pony Parts carries a couple different styles of aluminum brace nameplates with adhesive on the back…

I also ordered from Anchor Room and it’s a good looking addition. I went with the Name Plate that shows the VIN# and (Crank) Horsepower rating. They have a few colors that you can choose from and I think it’s rather cool to add. Some have expressed their displeasure but to each their own.

…. each their own.

100% CORRECT. I don’t care if others don’t like it because I think it looks great. It adds just the right touch I was looking for.

Great choice on yours, too!

Keen to see how the double sided tape holds up.

My biggest gripe and I’m sorry in advance if you haven’t noticed it and now can’t unsee it, but there is an annoying glare coming from the top of the dash, onto the windshield. I was really hoping window tint would get rid of it, but it didn’t. Polarized sunglasses kinda lightens it up though.

My charging pad works and I have a massive case with the magnetic thingy on the back. The daughters android charged as well. They do get hot if you leave them on too long but since I read about that earlier I tend to watch out for that.

You won't find any two door with an electric back rest for reasons already stated. At least, you can turn off the 'Check Backseat' warning! Quirky, but required by law!

Looking back...

Many years ago, Ford had a lot of interior design quirks, like the key on one side of the steering wheel, and the starter button on the other side. Somewhere along the line, Honda showed the industry that economics helped sell cars. While all the makes have more or less stepped up to the plate, I'm of the opinion Ford has done so better than most. This includes the headlights and windshield wiper stalks. If you think Ford's controls are chintzy, go drive a Kia or Hyundai!
