Thanks for letting me know. Weird that FF displays that way. I should probably just not use an input field for that. It's readonly, as in it's only there to display the value, which is why the arrows don't do anything. The slider is the intended user input. I've made a note and when I get a bug...

This was not an option on the previous version of the fordpass app that we were on at the time I wrote that.

Unlikely to be soon. A friend and I started to dig in, and the major reason I would want to do an app isn't available to us plebe devs. I can't pull any real time battery or power draw data out of the carplay and Auto SDKs. Hopefully they make the SDK more robust for the rest of us, but I guess...

Just call them and tell them you want to cancel as recent price increases on things like groceries mean cutting back on luxury. Tell them you can only afford $5/mo for each of them. They'll cut you a deal for that price for a year. I can practically guarantee it.

I should have said "Not your best choice financially" because yeah, I love the lighting over my previous F150 when it comes to road trips because it forces me to relax a bit more and not push for "making good time" and instead we have a good time.

EVs are not ideal road trippers, they are ideal commuters. If you drive several hundred miles each time you get behind the wheel, you should know that an EV is not your best choice. So yes "while road tripping" the value of an EV is slightly negated. But road trips are usually the exception, and...

Not crazy when you think about it. Tesla built their Supercharger network as a way of saying "see, you can take road trips in our cars". They knew a bad reputation would have squashed the concept and thus their car sales. So they put a lot of focus on ensuring the stations work. They also...

There’s a 2 pack from A2Z that includes both the supercharger adapter and the L1/L2 adaptor, if you search this forum you can find a discount code for 10 or 20%off. A2Z has just about the best customer service ever, so they’re worth it IMO compared to others like Lectron. Just stay away from any...

Rubber or TPU floor mats, to keep the underlying carpet pristine. Set covers if you have kids or dogs to keep the underlying seats pristine. Even if you have a bed liner, I recommend a bed mat, keeps things from sliding around. There are some bungee nets you can get on Amazon for the frunk...

Don’t make idle threats. They did what any business would do when lawyers start to get involved, cut contact and have all contact go through the lawyers. You escalated, now follow through. In the meantime, make sure to rate them on Yelp and Google Maps and any other tools and share your honest...

Not available to us with the regular screen. We miss out on a few things in the entertainment department. There’s a “magic box” device you can get that will allow you to do all the streaming and stuff, but IMO, spend the money on an iPad or something. Hotspot that in the car and you have...

Dealers install this shit without telling you to make it easier to repo. I’m sure they have it in their paperwork, but no one reads all that. good luck selling. The 23 XLT ER is the best option in my opinion. Hopefully someone in a warmer climate appreciates the deal.

They withheld that feature to the Lariat and Plat. I haven’t heard of people even being able to hack it in. Even without PAAK you can use the app to lock and unlock. If you pull the battery out of a key fob you can still use it in the cup holder slot. So hide a battery less fob in the truck and...

Added the frunk nets since those were deleted with the redesigned escape button. Also got around to putting in the bed mat I won from Lasfit in their Halloween contest. Last pic is a few days later as it warmed up and relaxed into a better fit.

Yes, back to the dealer. In a personal electronic device this means one of your battery cells is likely dead. In a more complex battery pack like this, it could mean a dead module, or just a bad BMS that’s not getting the right data from modules. Nothing you’re going to be able to do to solve...
