I've never been able to activate Plug & Charge in the Ford app. Credit card is set up. I try to toggle 'plug and charge' box and it just circles for a few minutes and fails. anyone else had this issue and figured out a fix?
I love that I can remotely cool the truck with the app on a hot day but why does opening the frunk shut the HVAC down? Is this a setting that can be changed?
Another hot summer coming with the vinyl pro seats. Has anyone found a good product that works to allow more airflow between body and seat? Seems like many seat covers are faux leather. Not sure if that helps at all?

In 2020, the national code started requiring GFCI protection on 240-volt plug receptacles. This now moves GFCI breakers to hard wire chargers resulting in better chance of nuisance trips.
Curious if anyone here runs a company fleet vehicle that they bring home in the evening.
- are you expected to charge at home or public chargers?
- are the electricity costs reimbursed by the company?

To those that have been driving a SR truck for a while, have you ever needed those extra 80 miles? I have an XLT reserved and I'm having a tough time justifying the massive jump in price.
is the American flag lightning bolt on the tailgate not included with Canadian models? I've seen it missing in a few Canadian YouTube videos. I always thought it looked cool. maybe someone could fab up a Canadian version?
Any lightning owners in here thinking about selling their truck and going back to a gas pickup? Seems pretty rare for EV car drivers to switch back to a gas car. Curious if most ev pickup truck drivers feel the same?
I'm not interested in paying $100k for a ER XLT (if I could even get one...) and would like to know if anyone in Canada has been successful selling their reservation to their dealer?
