I recently encountered another annoyance with the Ford App. I don’t have a regular commute and I’m on a time of use plan so I have my truck set to charge to 80% between 11 pm and 6 am. A couple of weeks ago I was going out of town so the night before I used the app to charge to 100%. I didn’t...

We had a power outage over a week ago and I connected the truck for a couple of hours. Ford Pass is still showing my bed outlets on and drawing 1170 W. I have tried to log out and have reloaded the app and it still hasn’t updated. Is anyone else seeing this? @Ford Motor Company

Somebody was representing in a Hurricane Red Lightning at the parade this morning.

An article in 9 to 5 Mac today says that preconditioning is coming to the 2026 Mach-E. Hopefully it will work its way over to earlier years and the Lightning. https://9to5mac.com/2026/03/16/apple-maps-ev-routing-carplay-ford-battery/ @Ford Motor Company is there anything you can tell us about...

Today Farley hosted Trump in Dearborn today and announced a new ICE truck. According to this article this truck replaces the previously announced EV truck. It sounds like Ford is abandoning EVs except for the Mach-E. ”Farley explained that the newly planned ICE truck will replace the previously...

This might explain why it’s taking so long to get software improvements. Apparently Ford’s software team has been focussed on developing an award winning infotainment system for the 100’s of Lincolns they sell instead of for the millions of Fords...

Ionna is a new joint venture between 8 car makers including GM, Mercedes, Hyundai, Kia, Stellantis, Honda, Toyota, and BMW. When they announced the startup in February they said they planned to roll out 30,000 chargers by 2030. At the time is sounded like a stretch but after attending the soft...

I don’t know if this has been discussed (didn’t find it in a search) but this weekend I noticed that ABRP now shows directions on the IPC just like Apple and Ford nav. In the video you can see the next turn between the temperature gauges and then it takes over the center display when you are...

Someone on the MachE Facebook page posted some photos of the inside of the mobile charger. Their charger failed so they cut it open to see if they could identify the problem. Apparently the unit is sealed and cannot be opened without destroying the case.

I saw this on Twitter this morning. It looks like Tesla has opened to GM vehicles.

Lectron is recalling their NACS charging adapter due to a defect that allows the NACS connector to be unplugged without stopping the charger. https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls?nhtsaId=24E033 You can see the video that led to the recall here.

Someone on Facebook reported that their charge port lights were not coming on. I remembered that there was a setting to turn them off that is referenced in the manual but he couldn’t find it on his Pro and I can’t find it on my Lariat. Did this setting get removed in a SW update or are we...

I ran across the following post on Facebook from mayor David Mitchell of Bridgewater, Nova Scotia. The town of Bridgewater has been using a Tesla for the last year and a Lightning for six months. It’s an extremely well written summary of their experience so far and it has been very positive. So...

I’m using the new Apple Maps integration for the first time this week and I can’t find a way to filter charge stations. I want to just see DC fast chargers but it shows all level 2 chargers too. When I look at the settings it has both J1772 and CCS listed and you can’t change it. I’m trying to...
