That is exactly the type of solution I would love.
I have a heat pump that I believe the truck could run just fine (with a soft start kit), but its on a 60amp breaker due to the auxiliary heat coils. I can disable the heat coils in the settings, but there is no clean way to move the 60 amp...
iOS user here, and it still reverts back. I have to wait 30 seconds or more after powering on and manually select Sport Mode. Otherwise it reverts to normal.
I'm not sure if this is new, or I am just noticing it... It looks like you can now see pricing information and have the ability to activate most DCFC chargers from within the Ford Pass app.

I only have 50 amp service going into my detached garage, where the EVSE is. So I have to charge at 40a. The most I have ever had to put in it at home is about 80KWh (from about 20% to 80%). It took about 10 hours at 40a.
I thought about upgrading the garage, but the truth is it wouldn’t...
I’ve been getting the battery saver mode a lot lately too. I often only drive a few miles throughout the week, using maybe 2-4% of the battery once or twice week (more on the weeknds). One thing I recently did to help mitigate the issue is to lower my charging current to extend the charging...
Unless the truck was undercoated in thermite like the hindenberg, I don’t think this was a LVB event. OP said they barely had time to gather a few items from the back seat before the truck was fully engulfed in flames. He also posted a pic of the truck in flames from tip to tail before the...
