Significantly less than Ford’s MSRP. An ER owner didn’t need it and was satisfied with the gift card they got. That made a heck of a deal to me.

Don’t get me started…

I also have to do math to convert to Wh/mi.

Fun fact. Ford allows you to do mi/kWh, kM/kWh, or kWh/km but not kwh/mi. It’s got more options for metric..sigh.

Sounds like a @TaxmanHog spreadsheet to the rescue.

Excellent!

So very important question for you. I‘m planning a trip to CT and will be driving through NJ. When I make that trip in my ICE I get a lovely NJ resident to pump my fuel on the Turnpike. When I stop at an EA charge in NJ will I receive the same full service or will I be expected to pump my own watts?

It varies. If a yellow buddy comes out, it is required by law for him to pump your watts. Those stations are cash only and tipping is encouraged.

Every other station is self-service. It very well might be half the reason people in NJ switch to EVs.

I’ll come armed with slurpies I case I run across a yellow buddy.

It’s like a video game though. It has to be the right flavors to send him away. Pick the wrong flavor and he turns into red buddy and charges at you

Got my first update today, 3.5.2, no idea what's changed.

Did you get PAAK? Looks like trucks built 7/25 and later got PAAK with the update, those of us before (Yes you all get lumped in with us 5/23 guys) PAAK is not working with this update.

I don't have Blues Clues, so no PAAK for me.

Received notification from SunRun that my FCSP has shipped. FedEx tracking shows it arriving sometime today. That’s the extent of my dealings with SunRun, we have a close friend who owns an Electrical business that will install it for us.
I’m lucky in that our meter is outside the garage right next to the driveway and the box directly below in the basement.

I did my first extended drive yesterday of about 120 miles round trip. It was a mixture of 55 - 70 mph roads along with some stop-and-go. I got 2.9 and 2.8 mi/kWh on the segments. I'm pleased!

I don't know who uses that Wh/mi nonsense

 

[krusshall]

Does anybody with a Pro or XLT have the ability to full-screen their Apple Carplay yet? Does Apple Carplay override the iPhone screen auto-off? My phone screen seems to stay on permanently unless I do it manually.

I'll do the math for you. That's 345-357wh/mi.

Are you sure you weren't being towed?! That's some incredible numbers to me, but I have trouble staying at that 55 number..

No, it's a known limitation right now on the full-screen. My screen stays on as well.
