Maybe they closed the initial request so it doesn't look like the clock is ticking and they'll open another when the module arrives? I'm sure I'm stirring the pot there and hopeful that isn't what happened.

You can always call the BEV line. I was lucky and didn't feel I needed them, but someone had posted in one of the threads how that team had kept them up to date. So honestly I did call them one day. I asked what the status of the module was, the EV person said they would get me an update...

I got very tired of the issue, CarPlay just connecting a portion of the time. I disconnected it, reconnected and chose wired only. It's only a slight pain to plug the phone in each time, but it has relieved the stress of me cussing most every time I drive the truck. There are a couple of...

Agree - that there is very unequal air flow from the vents. Truly the Auto, even with 3 levels of fan, is a bad implementation. Manual override is pretty much required to get a decent speed. For the number of years we've had to refine auto AC, Ford has found a way to lose their way.

Not a lot of updates, but it has been a week, so here is the latest.

You aren't wrong, but they aren't Tesla.

Charging rate and what you charge the battery too aren't related. Sure DCFC isn't as good on the battery as a slow charge, but charging to and leaving the battery at 100% often or for very long is worse than anything regardless of a slow charge rate. Leave the juice on the table. Find a...

Because Ford wanted to be the first to market. You won't find market leading, just first to market here.

Dang, just drove down Beltline 45 minutes ago. You were likely there charging. Glad to know that charger works. That will be one of my first Go To's if I need a charge close to home.

Other than the few hundred screws ups in the 7000's everything is perfectly on track for what we've been told it would be. No throttling (unless it was already built in). April deliveries are out, the only misses for April are due to the 3rd party mess up, again to those in the 7000's...

When they are built right and solid and with the right controls little needs to be repaired.

Got my truck back from the battery module replacement today. This update had failed twice while in the shop @rugedraw had already let me know that. I hope this doesn't throw my truck off, it has been very good at getting most updates early on. They were connected with FDRS several times...

It seems hard that that pawl could have problems or be damaged and not have caused other damage, but hoping it is that simple. I didn't know Ford was ready to have shops start breaking these motors down on site.

This is a good video overall, but this book mark takes you right to the parking pawl portion.

My truck has returned home. Appears to be a good repair. Drove it 30 miles, it is charging and there is still fluid in the reservoir - I'll keep an eye on it a few days. All told the truck was in for 3 weeks. Out of 21 months it has spent 6 weeks in for service. The dealership appeared to...

Slightly 'Slower' and always dependable make the Tesla SC a winner every time. So you have to choose your tradeoffs.

Batteries and voltage aren't my wheel house, but until someone can come up with some definitive reasons about all of the battery module replacements I figure Ford just walks on thin air not touching a thing. It seems to be SK was about the weakest or slimiest battery partner they could find...

That answer has become pretty common around Ford. Everyone knows I'm a Tesla fanboy, I'm going to start to think Musk has something to do with the scheduling around here.

What is this sorcery you speak of? Likely most of the common man doesn't have a need for it, or maybe it doesn't do anything special, but there is no reason not to share and let many others try it, you know, just to make them feel better about their trucks and getting updates.

Unless Ford put some real magical engineering into the motor mounts, replacing a motor on an EV should be one of the simplest things they can do. Repairing what is inside, well that is a different conversation.
