I wasn't able to add locations in the app but adding them in the truck did work for me.

It's not a big deal. In much of the rest of the world, entire homes are on a master GFCI. Home chargers there still work fine.

I applied everything available via FDRS about a month ago and had this problem immediately thereafter. It took me weeks to figure out what to do. In the end it turned out using the menus in the truck, instead of in FordPass, let me add charging locations again. Unfortunately it is now...

I was pretty happy with my Lightning in the snow, in upstate NY, in 1-pedal mode, this weekend. I do have snow tires, though.

I mean, I can't even...how can their release process for an application that really has such a small number of user-exposed controls be such that 5.10 goes out with two of them completely disabled, and then 5.10.1 ships with them working kind-of-sometimes-if-you-try-repeatedly? Do they have no...

I am getting messages in the notifications screen of the app that Plug&Charge has been activated even though I switched it off and want it off for reliable use of my Tesla and EA discount plans. Meanwhile we need to turn it back ON on the Mach E so an older relative who needs the convenience...

I'm aware of all that. Try to find a "normal" 18" tire that's rated for our vehicles and actually is close enough in size to the 20" stock to not cause annoying speedometer error. Not easy. I was expressing my mild surprise that that doesn't result in an issue with the 18" temp spare when...

Tesla vehicles will update over LTE if their software gets sufficiently out of date that Tesla wants to manage it out of the fleet. Typically a year or so. But - if you can get hold of one! - their service personnel can also trigger this remotely, so a service center visit is not necessary to...

As a Tesla owner since 2015: I will not buy another Ford vehicle if you inflict Tesla-like vehicle software on me. The incredibly low quality (both in terms of feature set and reliability) of the FordPass app and your over the air update processes, however - you could take some cues from Tesla...

It must be right on the verge of "roughly" unless the tire is a very unusual size or not true to the marked size (I've never looked, and my truck is parked in a pile of salty snow right now so I'm not going to this morning!). There just isn't a common 18" size that is close enough to the 20"...

I have wondered once or twice if Forscan with a reliable interface like a Mongoose might be a way around the BCM update restrictions in FDRS. But never enough to risk it without a positive report on updates via Forscan from someone else. And even then maybe only if it was a specific report of...

Might also be a "restrictions on updating BCM aren't entirely implemented in FDRS" issue. Given the BCM update restrictions are basically there to prevent durable theft of the car by popping a single window (by abusing FDRS to register new keys etc.) if I were doing security architecture for...

The above is incorrect and is a recipe for bricking your vehicle. The truck runs all the coolant pumps, many fans, and a shocking amount of other stuff during module updates and *does not* support the 12V battery from the HV pack via the onboard DC-DC converter. I appreciate that it obviously...

Why would you involve insurance? The sunroof cracking with no impact should be a warranty issue.

The suspension isn't really built for it. One of the big differences between a Super Duty and an F150 in general - the front is built to take the impact from slamming the plow into wet snow, or whatever's under it. It's possible, but it's not a great idea.

I disagree with the idea that the hardware, considered as a system rather than as a bag of components, is good. I believe it has a fundamental design flaw, to wit its reliance on not just one but *multiple* wireless technologies for communication between components that are connected by...

In fact selecting the PCM relearn procedure in FDRS pops up an explanatory screen that says it will fix exactly this! Now I know.

Ah, this says a PCM relearn is required: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1565230-forscan-tire-size-change-and-pcm-relearn-2.html - I'll try that.

Aha! I found this: "This DTC sets when the PCM detects a mismatch in configuration data and programmable parameters between the PCM and BCM." Is there some parameter in the PCM I need to update when I change tire size, in addition to the BCM change I already made?

Sigh, should have backed up the current state before changing anything with easy mode. I have a backup of every module from when I made the BC changes - I guess I can restore that.
