Auto Hold and Neutral Hold are not the same thing.

CSPs and TSBs are not recalls. Yes, a well-informed buyer of your used vehicle may find the recall, but it is a free repair for them. Ford is more annoyed with recalls then you or I will ever be, being ranked #1 in recalls, by far, is a stain on their stock... And on Farley's record.

The service manager is an idiot. Recalls are safety related, CSPs are not. What you want to do they cannot do - swapping parts. They MIGHT be able to put in the new GSM, with you giving the old one back to them to ship back to Ford. And they give you the rotary one back.

No, it doesn't include the truck itself running fans.

The problem is that much of the Tesla network has been around for a while. In New Orleans, there are 2 chargers in town, both old 150kW, and one northeast of town, that is the same. 150kW chargers cannot communicate with CCS. Tesla has been updating locations, surely on a need-basis. Given...

Umm, doesn't this come under the heading No Sh*t Sherlock and apply to towing with gas vehicles also?

Let me rephrase then. I've read the stuff that Ford published about you, and it's clear that you want to experience the good, and the bad, that customers do when charging. No idea whether this is part of your job, or just of interest to you, but clearly you are on the road a lot doing this...

And the fact that you work for Ford doesn't influence your charging decision? Also, many people have a trip where they're heading from point A to point B. That's very different from a trip where the trip is the adventure, i.e. towing a trailer, let's drive XXX miles a day or so, and see stuff...

Ford produced 2 adapters. Early adapter was produced by Tesla, later by Lectron.

Yeah, I've been surprised at the number of people that charge at dealerships. If you take out the "it's my dealer, and they told me to charge their for free" people, it drops dramatically. I think it's vital that dealerships add fast chargers (fast meaning 120kW or higher) in many areas...

One pedal isn't the same. Hill Descent holds a speed.

Looks like brand new location. Not in PlugShare. Likely discouraging use for now. There are 250,000 charging ports in the US. PlugShare is where to post about them. You can even add a location and post the outrageous fees.

And stalking online isn't?

The installation is simple - they pull the meter, install the device, then put the meter back on. Maybe 10 minutes if they go slow. It can be purchased for $999 from the company (but you can't install it in DTE's territory), so DTE is covering the cost in 3.6 years, with no option to buy it...

Great plan. It always amazes me how many people don't know how to lower the spare, get the jack out, etc. HOWEVER, note that the scissor jack is woefully undersized, and threatens to buckle the entire time you're using it. I wouldn't trust it except in an emergency, after I called Ford...

No idea what rate plan you are on, or your usage pattern. But when we ordered our 2018 Fusion Energi, I examined the plans at that time and found that the Time of Day plan, which has peak hours from 11AM to 7PM, was cheaper even before the PHEV arrived, so we switched. Back then there were...

As one would expect, when we did our evaluation to go to a generator, our outages were ridiculous. Had 6 one year. Power would go out, and a neighbor would look out his back window, call DTE, and say "it's in my backyard". Probably 3 out of 4 were right behind his house. So we got the...

This is great. Adding whether Auto Hold works, or doesn't work, would be important to me.

Just to note - when the parking brake is On, simply shift to R or D and tap the accelerator to release it.
