BINGO! That's probably the explanation but not the justification for the bizarre behavior. And doesn't change my view that it's incredibly arrogant for Ford/Apple to assume that if I'm near my truck or even in it, the default, automatic behavior is for the truck to GRAB Bluetooth audio output...

Hi, @Ford Motor Company Here's something pretty basic that doesn't work right and shouldn't be too hard to fix. It's a problem with iOS 17.x (and probably earlier iOS versions on the iPhone) and may be an Android problem, too. I describe this as a problem for a hearing aid wearer (me), but...

This week, the air quality was so bad in Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio that the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (Texas's equivalent of the EPA) asked motorists to forego driving as much as possible. And it's only the beginning of June. Usually, the worst air quality in...

My truck color is Oxford White, waxed with Meguiar's Ultimate Liquid Wax, leading a sheltered life in a garage, free from dirt and the sun's rays most of the time. Star White looks gorgeous, but Oxford White seemed simpler to care for and maintain long-term. I heard if you ding your truck and...

They just need to use their wonderful #OTA system to send out some updates that cure the truck/FCSP communication/behavior problems. All talk and very little action, IMHO. When my truck and my FCSP get their act together, my Home Integration System works flawlessly. But it's always a roll of...

Our driveway, curb sidewalk, front walkway, and front steps were redone because of live oak root problems and sagging, cracking front steps (cast initially 34 years ago). Our curbside brick mailbox had to be destroyed (the RFD box inside was never painted and was rusting away, too). So, here's...

Yet another chapter in my Home Integration System saga, but since it involves doing a Ford Factory Reset, I thought that part of my story might be of more general interest and others who've done a Factory Reset might chime in on how it fixed their particular problem and how reset recovery went...

I haven't checked this carefully, but I noticed that after installing the Apple Watch version of FordPass 5.0, my watch battery drained ~5% to 10% more per day. Since I always have my phone with me for its PAAK function, I can live without more Watch battery drain, so I uninstalled the app from...

If Ford can show the LVB % SOC online on our Ford account dashboards, why can't they figure out a way to show it in the FordPass app, @Ford Motor Company? I think that would be a feature most users would value, and Ford is already collecting the telemetry for that, but doesn't let us see that...

Ford shareholders ask what the heck is going on with EVs (freep.com) There is some positive news. Ford Pro is a money-making machine for Ford.

Mine shows 74% LVB charge now. In the past, I've found to get the most recent current LVB % SOC, it helps to refresh the FordPass app, then wait ~15 sec before refreshing the Ford.com dashboard. As @davehu reports, the % LVB SOC has disappeared from (and reappeared on) that Ford.com web page...

Might be way too expensive an option but I know of some people who can't be without an Internet connection and have a Starlink plan as a backup. The initial hardware outlay is expensive, it could be permanently mounted in your vehicle, and you could only subscribe when you absolutely need...

Perhaps the difference is my FCSP came with my order of my Lariat ER, and upon having my order activated, I immediately called Sunrun and ordered the HIS unit through them and had them install it. If your path differed, maybe that explains the lack of a notice. I've quoted the Ford contact...

We only have the Rivian driver's version of the story, but it does sound like the Tesla driver was suffering from a bad case of entitlement. I wonder how things will go as SuperChargers get more clogged with non-Tesla owners. Blocking two spots like the Rivian owner was doing is sure to be ever...

I got the warning a couple of days ago, but I read @Gimme_my_MME's advice in another thread on this (as just above) and have ignored it. Either way, Ford really needs to get its act together if it can't update its maps in a timely fashion and then has to hit everyone up with warnings (or...

That's why the major U.S. automakers including Tesla and Ford are using CATL batteries and CATL and BYD have over 50% of the world market for EV batteries; just vaporware...? Quotes taken from Electrotek article. Emphasis added by me to single sentence in top post at that site.

CATL launches new EV battery that will last 1 million miles, 15 yrs (electrek.co)

It might be very prudent on Ford's part to delay the T3 if the new CATL battery is for real (I think it's LFP, though): 1 million miles and 15 years, little degradation in the first 1,000 recharges, charges VERY fast. If true, Ford would be stupid not to incorporate that technology into the T3...

I didn't look at the harnesses but yesterday, I cranked my spare tire down to check the pressure. I had the opposite sensation. Compared to all the road spray elsewhere on the truck, I was impressed at how clean the spare tire underside was (facing toward the road). Also, impressed that with...
