I call BS on the ~$0.70/kWH. Remember, you are talking to a car dealer... https://www.eia.gov/electricity/monthly/epm_table_grapher.php?t=epmt_5_6_a

I wouldn’t call Ford’s approach agile. Since they move slow and still break things.

I’m at 40,000 miles on the OEM tires and they don’t need to be replaced yet. For trucks, I have a feeling that the difference in weight is negligible. Probably more important is the surfaces you drive on regularly and how much you enjoy 0-60 in 4s

I have this issue also. I'm assuming it is a software thing that maybe they'll fix in a future APIM update.

36K (miles) in 1 Year. No problems other than CSP.

Also note, they can come in through the latch hole. I have some chew marks there where I left some food in the frunk on a camping trip.

I will second the speed/headwind. It is hard to overstate how much of an impact the direction and speed of the wind will have on your ultimate efficiency at highway speed. One of the things I love about ABRP for route planning is that it takes that into account. Also, I find the initial value on...

For me, I just use ABRP as a planner (either on the computer or my phone) and take note of the charge levels that it wants me to hit at each stop. I don't like it's routing as much as Apple's (although it's better than Ford's)

ABRP is awesome and has the most accurate estimates I've found. But I don't think it models precipitation very well. The only time I seem to find myself losing ground to its estimate is driving in heavyish rain (and I assume snow). But good to see it confirmed.

The 320 range is achievable if you are starting from 100% and drive 50 mph in warm weather. (I have had the privilege of driving under those conditions occasionally). However, one of the things we EV drivers have to do is reprogram our brains for the "rhythm" of longer road trips. If we drive...

This. I use ABRP to plan long roadtrips and then use Apple Maps (with the new EV routing) for the actual trip. ABRP seems almost always spot-on (taking into account wind, temp, traffic, etc) with the arrival SOC. I will then occasionally coerce Apple Maps into stopping or going to the chargers...

I will second the suggestion for using ABRP. It is very, very good for range estimates. Occasionally, it off-interstate routing leaves a bit to be desired, but I have other programs for that.

I just did a SW update via FDRS (mainly to get the 6.3 APIM before a road trip tomorrow). The other modules that updates were PCM (along with its dependent SO modules), both door modules, and the front audio module. Have no idea which ones would be in this PU update, but that's all that was on FDRS.

If the FCSP loses its server connection, it takes days to reconnect (often a power cycle). When it does it often bundles all of the charges since it last reported into a single day. I have seen it several times.

Is just an adhesive install, or do you have to pop fasteners, etc. ?

You will get it usually driving into the sun in the morning/evening especially with a buggy windshield. Basically, the camera can't see the road. (It's usually about the same time I can barely see the road)

The one in Indiana just off of I-64 is near me, so I tried it out today. Works great (magic dock). It will be a Godsend for non-Teslas as there is nothing fast between Louisville, KY and Mt. Vernon, IL before this...

I don’t even have the wiper motor recall. I wonder if they think they have to replace the battery module. (Unless I’m lucky, they shouldn’t)

When you make your appointment for your recalls/CSPs, double-check that the service techs are ready. I scheduled mine last week, cleared the whole day for them to have the truck and drove it 50 miles to the dealer only to have them call me later in the morning and say that it would take 6-8 hrs...

Still works for me, although I did see a case where the turn displayed on the instrument cluster was 1 turn ahead/behind the actual turn. Quitting the route and restarting it fixed that.
