These kind of little things, plus the iccu and driver awareness sensor on 2025+ is what made me buy a '25 Mach E instead. They each have their quirks and the I5 is a better car on paper, but the Mach E is better in practice. I’ll take a reliable ICCU, more sensical battery preconditioning, and driver profiles over the 800V architecture that DC charges slightly faster.
And it locks the doors when you walk away like you mentioned. It’s the little things.
Got a 23 MME with “Slower” fast charging. Still works great. I would not pay extra for even faster charging, since 99.99% of my charging happens on level 1 AC. Taking a 20-30 minute break after 2 hrs of driving is pretty nice. Battery mandated piss/lunch/walking breaks are not the hassle I thought they would be.
