It is the Bodum Bistro goose neck electric kettle my wife bought at target. You could use any electric kettle style that fits your needs.

Thanks

I’ll have to check them out.

This is how our system is setup too. We have solar, but during an outage our only power from the solar system is via the SMA Secure Power Sockets (essentially one outlet per inverter). Those keep our EcoFlow Delta charged and it keeps our outbuilding freezers running. The house is powered via a...

Definitely check your coolant level after this repair. I noticed my battery temp slightly elevated after a short fast charger session. The truck never had an issue with fast charging. I checked the coolant reservoir and it was bone dry. I added up to max. After a couple of days, I had to add...

There is a towing data thread on this forum somewhere with a lot of good planning data. You just have to sift through to find a trailer that is similar to yours. I tow a 25’, 7300 lb Airstream Classic and average 1.1 mi/kWh at 65 mph. Obviously there are a lot of variables, so you have to start...

Good point about setting multiple reminders to cover any interpretation of the billing/expiration dates. I decided to use 20 days just to avoid canceling in 14 days and accidentally finding out that I terminated my subscription because I mis-counted the days or there is a time zone issue or...

Update: I got my truck back Wednesday. Everything appears to be in order. For posterity’s sake I asked how much replacing 1 battery module would cost me if I had not still been under warranty. My dealer said they billed Ford for 16 hours of labor at $140/hr. They didn’t know the price of...

Make sure you read the fine print and understand that you are signing up for an automatic renewal that will bill to whatever pays for your vehicle’s connected services at the then current cost of an annual renewal. This could be quite pricey as the current cost is $495! It is a little confusing...

Did you use the lock button or are you relying on walk away lock?

While getting reduced power indications for cold batteries makes sense, keep your eyes on it. I started getting reduced power indications even when the battery wasn’t cold. I thought this unusual because I had only ever seen it at really low SoC or with a cold battery. Then I started seeing...

Another locking feature that was initially frustrating, but I came to appreciate is the auto-fold mirrors. Not only is it nice that all of my truck is in the parking spot, they remind me if I leave my phone or key in the truck. When I get out and lock the doors with the touch button on the door...

This one took me a while to figure out. I would pull up to drop my daughter off at soccer practice and she would get out and try to pop the frunk so she could grab her stuff. It didn’t work consistently. I could always operate it from the dash button, the outside button didn’t work. I was...

Yes, at 63k I thought my battery had proven itself. I’ve done a not insignificant amount of long distance towing/DCFC (probably 10k miles or so), but that should be completely within the normal use case of a truck. I’m curious to see what the repair costs (for Ford). Depending on the price, it...

Next time it throws the code drive to the Ford dealer, do not turn the vehicle off, and have them look at it before the code clears. Your new, under warranty vehicle should not be doing that and it is Ford’s responsibility to repair it. Once they see what trouble code it is throwing you’ll have...
