So how many of you have a FitCamX that has died? Mine just stopped working, not exactly sure when. But I try to check it with my phone every week or two. And as also reported in this thread, it would lose date and time often. It’s been dead for a bit now and I’ve been contemplating ordering...

Tesla's navigation is just Google Maps. So you don't need to buy into the hype over how great Tesla nav is... But on the other hand, having a fully-functional Google Maps directly integrated and not running through an interface layer like CarPlay or Android Auto is a big deal. If you run...

Yep. Only take a fob with me on road trips, just in preparation of a worst-case scenario. Otherwise my phone works fine. I use my door keycode here and there anyway and I've used the passcode to drive twice -- once to test it after setting it up. And once when I went to move the truck when I...

Ford's OTA update process and scheduling are infuriating... I'm still two updates behind this one and who knows if/when I'll get it.

The feature I miss on my Lightning that is on my Model Y is the camera recording. Both while driving and sentry mode when parked. I've added a FitCam X dash cam that does front and rear, but it is no longer functional, just stopped working literally days after the 1 year warranty ran out...

Yeah don't reset the rental -- it's not your car. No need to use FordPass for anything. You can initiate Tesla charging with the Tesla app, same with EA and such. They may have plug and charge enabled on the Mach-E and could be looking to have EA and Tesla charging billed to them, which they...

Typical from the FMC online presence…. Probably whatever customer service intern is delegated to monitor the account this week. I appreciate that Ford tries to maintain a presence here, but for most of us it hasn’t exactly been helpful. Already a big thread discussing just this…. Some have...

Of course. And this is where hybrids do currently still make a lot of sense for people, if they can live within the “compromise”. For the Prius or other cars like it, the compromise is mostly performance. Something most target buyers of the Prius care little about. The Prius is still one...

Yes, hybrids are not the marvels of efficiency they are portrayed to be. It’s the melding of two powertrains into one big compromise. Hybrids will disappear from this world as battery capacities increase and prices continue to decline. At this time, our battery capacity/price ratio still...

OP didn’t give us too many specifics, but assuming he’s using a gen-2 Tesla UMC with a NEMA 14-50 plug on it, he would be getting 30A at 240V (7.2kW). It is possible he’s using a gen-1 Tesla UMC, which can deliver 40A at 240V (9.6kW). Likewise, Tesla sells the “Corded Mobile Connector” which...

So you don’t have dinner in the oven, or soup simmering on the stove, while you’re tinkering in the workshop and cutting things on the saw? I don’t think he has a problem either, just saying that’s a pretty bold assumption there. You can run a surprising amount of stuff off a single 200A service.

If you’re prewiring for a hardwired charger, DO NOT install a GFCI breaker. Or at least there is no need to for it. This was the advice in the early days, but all current UL Listed hardwired EVSE’s on the market have in-built protection and do not need the GFCI breaker, some advise against it...

The A2Z NACS to CCS1 adapter is your best bet — https://a2zevshop.com/products/nacs-ccs1 It’s $189 currently and I think if you use “FORDFORUM” as a coupon code you get an extra 10% off. Ford is no longer offering the adapter for free, but they come bundled with their mobile charge cord, and...

I like the seat covers. But your 2nd row floor mat is the wrong mat for your truck. You have the mat for a truck with the foldable under-seat storage bin. Just FYI…. That’s why it doesn’t cover the carpet up to the small storage area and still leaves a gap large enough to fit that kleenex box.

‘til the wheels fall off. Or until I’m ready for something new. Maybe sooner if it starts having issues or and then we’ll just have to see. I’m hoping that by the time I’m close to my 100k mile/ 8 year battery/drivetrain warranty and Ford extended plan that matches, there will be something on...

Train their sales staff? You must be joking…. At most they get a crash course on sales procedures. Some get a little training on the infotainment systems so they can help customers connect their phones and set up the app and whatnot. I would attempt to speak to the GM directly about the...

Which XLT trim do you have? If you have a trim that was supposed to have it, you can have the Customer Satisfaction Program to add the free module to enable the heated wheel if you have the ER battery and/or the upgraded tech package with BlueCruise. It probably will show in your FordPass...

The truck is being actively sold in Norway. I would think buying one in Norway is probably the easy part. I have no clue about the legal aspects of export/import to get to the Czech Republic. But at least the truck is set up for charging with CCS2…. That would be the only difference I’m aware...

The truck only preconditions for charging if you set a charge destination in the Ford nav. Apple Maps, Waze, etc.. can route for charging, but don’t initiate the truck to precondition for it. Yet. I have not had issues with Apple Maps trying to route me to a charge stop unless I would arrive...

If you’re only 15 feet from the panel, and are not cutting and refinishing drywall or other finished wall material, $1100 is definitely high. QMerit is known to be a bit pricey though. Get a couple other quotes, but unless you’re going to spend the extra money for more hardware and...
