I appreciate how you and Kyle publicly called Ford out on their dismal OTA process. I hope that you both can use your inside connections to affect some positive change for all of us on the software front.

One day I’ll get to the right person who can at least speak to the challenges or strategy when it comes to the OTAs!

I smell a podcast interview idea. šŸ˜‰
I’ve been trying for a year to get Doug Field on. They have an event at the Palo Alto Labs where I was able to talk to him last year I’m hoping to run in to him again this time and try again!

Great video šŸ‘šŸ½ and good advice. I think we all agree FORD needs to step up their game in the software department. And I hope this will help with that.
Congrats on the purchase!

The only thing I didn't like about your video is when Kyle was trying to say the rivian frunk was better because even if you had to reach over the frunk wall, that keeps the items from falling out essentially... and that you didn't flex, pop the sub floor and demonstrated that ford thought of this and that you have grooved positions to stand the sub floor panel into to secure frunk items from sliding forward.

Nice video regardless. And congrats on the new ride.

You should check your Vehicle settings in Google Maps to ensure you have specified that you have a Tesla NACS adapter. I do get Tesla Super Chargers in Google Maps. The only exception is when it (correctly) excludes a Super Charger which does not accept non-Tesla vehicles.

Maybe I just got lucky, or maybe its regional though.

Mine works like shown here:
You're very fortunate. I called FMC, and they said the feature had been been discontinued because of problems. She referred me to public charging on the app. It works well, but it's so inconvenient.
