Hmm..that's a good point.
I think since the truck arguably does "have a substantial defect that impairs its use, value, or safety" that it would fall under lemon-law in California (not sure about other states). And since no remedy exists, the "3 attempts to repair" doesn't apply.
I like it.
Stays engaged for more road. More confident in the turns.
Things I don't like:
nags more quickly
Not new, but when a car merges into my lane when the spacing is tight, BC doesn't seem to see the merging car until it is pretty much fully in the lane and then it jams on the brakes...
You don't have to reset the system for no-audio carplay. Unfortunately, the no-audio carplay thing happens a lot.
To fix it:
Go to the settings -> phone list screen and turn off carplay for the phone, then re-enable carplay for the phone.
Depends on how fast you drive what range you can get. At 70 without a headwind, expect around 270 miles fully charged.
You're going to have to charge at least once.
I hope you have the Tesla adapter. It gives you a lot more options.
Fast charging doesn't seem to hurt the battery much. But if...
looks like it, those are also 116T which matches the OEM load rating,
but these won't exactly replace the 20s because this tire/wheel gives you a 32" tire/wheel diameter where OEM 20s give you 33".
this would be a perfect replacement for the PRO/XLT 18" tires though.
You can turn off the center screen in Lariat by pressing down and rotating the wheel on the screen. I think the backlight might stay on, but the screen goes black until you touch it.
Forget asking Ford for camp mode, dog mode, generator mode, etc... because they've barely gotten any updates...
Yeah I agree they would know what batches of pouches are bad, and where they ended up.
I'm just guessing that if batches of pouches in general go into modules in the order they are made, and that modules are put into the trucks roughly in the same order, that basically whole batteries will need...
If they know which pouch batches are bad, they can probably relate the pouches to vehicles.
My truck was made in the first or second week of 2023s after the factory restarted for MY '23 production. So the pouches affected might be for 22s and 23s around that time period (Nov 2022).
I wonder...
It showed up in the Ford website for me.
I assume it's going to be an entire new battery. Why would the issue be isolated to a specific module. And how could they possibly fix electrode misalignment without replacing it?
Agree that is certainly a factor. But realistically, nobody in the world can compete with China purely on price when it comes to mass manufacturing. And EVs are relatively easy to make. China already has the industrial capacity to manufacture 40 million cars per year.
The US and Europe will...
Off-topic but 100% agree, that there are many optimizations coming for AI. But the "real" AI that's coming will still cost billions in capital investment.
