Did you have issues with your SOC being off once you unhooked the trailer?
I did a test run with a 7,000 pound travel trailer yesterday. All went well, I got the range I expected (.8 - .9 mi/kw), given the weather (35 degrees and windy) but after disconnecting the trailer my SOC showed 65%...
I'm with you, I've taken 5, 1,000 mile trips (including charging deserts...Alabama, West Virginia, Louisiana) without it with little to no issues. This will just provide another option.
WHOA, WHoa, Whoa! I'm conflicted here, I'm happy that they're available but what's with the $230 price? I was under the impression that they be offered for free...
No doubt, I'll order mine but I might pause for a minute.
Update:
I went online to review the process and found that there was no...
I can say we used the one on Mackinaw City, MI two weeks ago tripping to the UP and it was a god send before crossing the bridge and coming back. Although we did find out later that there is a hotel "Adoba Hotel Naubinway" that has a Tesla Destination charger. Good place to stay, next time.
This is my only concern with using the Ford Pass system. I currently pay for a subscription through two providers that provide me a lower rate and its worked well. I'd be more than willing to use the Ford Pass system IF I could get my subscription prices, other wise...
My Dealer in Vandalia, OH said his understanding is that DCFC at Dealerships should be installed by June and both them and another area Dealership will be installing them and accessible to anyone.
I've also used a 75 Kwh free charger at at Chevrolet Dealership in Aurora, OH. The only...
So, we always talk about dealerships making up new vehicle models based on market demand, and for the record I agree with those arguments, but what's the difference here? Is it different because it's the manufacture doing it or because it's Tesla...
I hadn't received any updates since July, took my truck to the dealership. They had to get a Ford Engineer involved to get the updates going again. Not a hardware issue, something about a corrupt file from Ford. They had to figure out the why, fix it and download it again.
Might be worth...
Well, into week three of the dealership having my truck and while there was apparently mention of my update back in July failing due to low voltage of the 12 volt battery, they've moved on to what I consider a full refresh of the APIM (whatever that is) then updating additional modules in order...
So, here we are at day six of the dealership having my truck. The only response I've gotten from them, other than me calling and them saying nothing from Ford yet, was an alert yesterday in the app showing there was a software update that needed action at the vehicle. That alert was cleared...
I'm on day two of them having my truck. Apparently, replacing and reprogramming the modem is a very difficult undertaking. I'm allowing some grace considering this might be their first...
Same camp, out of frustration, I dropped my MY23 Lariat off at the Dealership yesterday for the lack up updates and installation of heated steering wheel. They couldn't get it to update either and kept it overnight, after attempting to reprogram/refresh the modem, they're working with Ford to...
Agreed and for those companies that have shown that their sites are less dependable [Insert company name of choice] it will require more than just a simple exchange of the cable. They will need to update their software solution and processes for tracking failures.
Unfortunately, I've seen...
Based on the response @RickLightning posted, I'm inclined to follow through on the whole 10k mile review. The Ford Pass App did provide some detail on the process.
I know there are members that have surpassed this milestone, have you had the 10k mile "service/check up" suggested by Ford? If so, what was included? I went to the dealer site to schedule it and saw that they wanted $69.99 for the service but didn't provide any information on what it...
@GDN, this is definitely not free charging and I don't think my post implied that I was looking for free charging.
In the end, I think the market will determine what is a relevant price per kwh, if you're paying a monthly subscription and looking for convenience and a working platform.
Congratulations! Based on my experience, make sure your dealer has completed and submitted all the sales paperwork. That is the trigger for Ford to notify Sunrun so they'll ship it. You can follow up with Sunrun's CS but if they haven't been notified of the sale, they might just confirm you...
After speaking to Ford CS, they redirected me back to my dealer and Sunrun. Since my dealer told me that all paperwork had been completed, I reached out to Sunrun for a second time. Their CS told me that my charger had been shipped and is scheduled for delivery tomorrow...very happy! For...
