I have been using my Ford mobile charger as home charger for the past year. I always knew that is not what it is designed for but I have a better mobile charger and wanted to get as much use out of this as possible. It has been working fairly well and has been reliable. But lately, it does...
Please share your EV service experience with any Maryland dealers so that we know which one to avoid and which one to go to.
If you can't be specific about your experience for any reason, please just say you do or do not recommend a location.
With hopes that this thread can save us a lot of...
Have any of you guys actually read this? Any lawyers in the house? What rubs you the wrong way the most? What does me tapping on “I accept” mean in real life when Ford (or someone they shared my data with) do something screwed up with my data? If I don’t click on accept, how do I know if...
I have been charging at home with some assumptions that I am not sure are correct. Currently I am charging to 60% on Sunday night, driving it on Monday, letting it sit around 50% for most of the week driving it on Friday to 40%, charge overnight to 80% for weekend drive. Here is a general...
Background: My last at home update (PU306) was in summer (7/14). There were two recent updates on the run (according to Ford pass, PU0724 and then PU 6.1.0). The truck says my latest update is PU 6.2.0 but there is nothing in the app message center about this. Last night reading the posts...
I have noticed recently “This Trip” does not reset when I have a stop. Not sure if it is a part of one of the new updates or I never really got how it thinks. Does the stop have to be longer than a certain number of minutes to reset? Does GPS has to see you return home to rest? Does anyone...
Mine does not seem to go off. It is like the old question; how do you know if the fridge light go off when you close it? Except thanks to mobile phone video camera, I checked mine and even after locking the truck completely when everything else goes off, this light still remains on. Does...
Today, I took a day trip and when I started the day, I was not sure if I had to use a DCFC to get back so I drove a bit conservatively. I was pleased by the results (2.8 mi/KWh). That made me think we need a thread so we can share tips and tricks to stretch the range so if we are in a bind, we...
Do you guys have any tips for traveling to Ontario? I heard American EA app does not work there. In fact can I get away with charging without my phone? Or using any apps? Are some providers worse than others? Do any of you have a personal experience crossing the border with an EV?
I have to charge in the rain outside once in a while and have been covering the charge port to be safe with temp rigs. Do you guys use anything off the shelf or home made that you are happy with (or unhappy with that I should avoid)? I have heard it should be safe charging in the rain but...
I just read this post and it totally freaked me out:
https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/263036/why-charging-li-ion-batteries-in-cold-temperatures-would-harm-them#289735
He says charging bellow freezing even once can permanently mess up your battery and in addition to loss of life...
Never towed anything in my life before and totally clueless. I have nothing specific in mind to tow in future (could be a trailer, could be a boat but more likely something from U-Haul) but would like to be prepared not necessarily for everything but for as many potential cases as possible...
I am mostly interested in transparency and hoping that would help us in long run. If we know exactly what data is collected and whom it is shared with, that alone may help in reducing the chance of abuse down the road. If any of you have or know how to get it from Ford on regular bases please...
Here is the deal; Earlier in the year Ford sent me an invitation to order and I was glad I could take advantage of Full Tax credit and proceeded to order just to find out I could not order the only trim I was s interested in (Pro), Disappointed, I extended. Then in August I got another...
I see wishful thinkers and optimists hoping to get their 22 full tax credits spread around different threads. I thought for the next 18 days we could share the drama here. May be someone will use this thread to make a movie some day. It could also help us develop a more realistic expectation...
For those of you that have already picked up your truck, did the dealer make you pay tax on the total price before applying PCO? This makes no sense to me but I have heard some dealers tried and some succeeded. I just want to see the stats.
Please make a note if that happened to your price...
Ford has offered 22 pricing to some 23 orders. If you are one of the individuals that was offered that price guarantee, I am very curious what was the experience with your dealer? Did they honor it? Despite the fact that Ford had that incentive on their site during ordering process and they...
Just got an email from Ford saying site has been updated. I checked my account and Base MSRP has been increased after I ordered (In August). It looks like it may have been updated in the past 24 hours. I called Ford and they are clueless and useless. The rep could not even see what I see on...
