I have an issue with the new term "Climate" in the updated FordPass. I understand that previously calling it "Start" was not totally correct since the vehicle was getting pretty much just the climate controls turned on. Now I'm spreaking primarily about my FFE as I've been using its start...

Have they taken away the "refresh" function, or have I not found how it's now done? You used to be able to pull down the top of the screen and it would go read the latest information from the vehicle. I've used this to check its SOC while charging because otherwise it only updates when...

I use seeing my experiences with my FFE coming to fruition with the Lightning. I used to thing that since the FFE was a "compliance car" Ford would learn from their mistakes and do things better with vehicles like the MME and Lightning. I'm not so sure. When the FFE got its modem upgraded to...

I have an LG G6 with no case, and it sees the wireless charger when initially placed there and begins to charge, but within seconds it shows it is no longer charging. Only once or twice it kept charging, so I just don't bother with it.

True, since many don't have a good sense of their own abilities - how often are you held up by someone waiting for "enough space" to proceed when there's plenty of room? GOMs were never the prefect predictor with ICE vehicles, but with EVs they can readjust more frequently and more noticeably...

Mainly from observation over the past six and a half years with the FFE plus our last few ICE vehicles, with a few bits and pieces from forums such as this and the FFE forum. The most significant effect with the FFE was one day in its second winter when a bad snow storm hit mid-day. My winter...

So many will tell you to ignore the GOM or use the SOC, efficiency, and capacity (I.e. do a lot of maths in your head on the fly), but the GOM is not so bad if you keep in mind a few things about it: 1) It is an estimate based on your driving history - it actually does all those calculations...

For that, you need to get a song called "The Rodeo Song" by a group called Showdown. Also good for heavy traffic. Best. Chorus. Ever. Google the lyrics! ;)

That appears to have fixed the problem. I initially had suspected it might just only needed a re-write of the configuration, so I tried just changing something and re-saving, but that didn't work. At the time, I didn't want to delete and set it up again as I didn't have the time. Turns out, I...

I figure so much - just blowing off steam. :confused:

That's not been the issue this week. The past few nights had the truck reaching the desired level (90%) in less than the 6 hour window. Since we've had the truck in May, it has only charged in the window on weekdays as expected. Now it doesn't. I can see some people wanting that behaviour, but...

Has anyone else found that the update has the truck totally ignoring your preferred charge times? Ours is set up to only charge between midnight and 6 am on weekdays when at home. Despite this, the new charging screen shows "At home - Will charge when plugged in" despite not being midnight...

Tell me about it. From where I stand, MME owners don't have much to complain about compared to Focus Electric owners. 😠

While the charger may say "up to 350 kW" and most seem to understand that it won't deliver more than the vehicle is asking for, there is also a limit on how much the station itself can deliver. Just because the station has one "up to 350 kW" unit and three "up to 150 kW" units, there is no way...

Our ‘17 FFE has been waiting for an OTA update to its TCU that has been available and has been pushed out to other FFEs since Novenber '22. This is to fix a problem with a bug in the TCU software that was applied when the car's 3G modem was replaced with a 4G modem in March '22. The bug disabled...

I agree, though I only have 5.5 years EV experience, though with a Focus Electric and its 100-120 mile range, I suspect I get a few extra bones experience points when it comes to coping with range. I also was more of a "left lane driver" and found with an EV, a road trip might have saved 20-30...

Map/navigation updates are NOT part of Sync OTA updates and are done separately, likely because they are not free come from syncnavigation.com, via Ford's website. When purchased, it can be sent to you (on USB), or you can download it yourself. I have a 2017 Focus Electric and paid for a map...

PaaK seems to be always active. When I arrive home in my Focus Electric and walk around the back to get to the EVSE to plug it in and my wife's Lightning is there, it lights up. My key fob for the Lightning is not with me when I'm not driving it, so it's PaaK that's doing it. Others have...

It's not just a cold weather thing. If the battery is too hot it will not take the charge at the rate you are expecting. It's a Goldilocks thing - not too hot, and not too cold. 😋 Granted, it tends to be a greater issue in cold weather, but not unheard of in hot.

I got the message on FordPass but thought the "explanation" was rather light on substance. @Ford Motor Company I'm still waiting for the OTA update for my Focus Electric that lost its Value Charging and Go Times in March 2022 when I paid $400 to upgrade its modem. Dealerships have no idea...
