I am about 3 months in from trading in my '21 (AWD Standard battery) for a '26 Optiq AWD Premium Luxury. Just completed my first road trip. Overall, I think it is a better car. The interior for sure is swankier, the audio system is first rate. Supercruise does not cut out anywhere near as often...

Same here - 21 Premium 4, Samsung S24+. Last couple weeks PaaK does not fully disconnect (shows as "connecting") and then does not re-connect. Have to force stop the app and then re-open. Do not experience the problem at e.g. work where I walk well away from the car before returning.

Thanks @Kamuelaflyer - I saw that advice and ordered a set for the frunk!

Got a SSN warning and "Battery Depleted" warning, although the battery was at 75%, on my '21 Premium 4. Accessory power on but car otherwise inoperable. Thought it might be another HVBJB failure (which was replaced in January after car bricked). Turns out harness wiring chewed through, cutting...

So update to my situation - turns out this was rodent damage; rats or similar chewed through the wire harness. Not sure how they get in, or how long there were there, but it's not often I'm relieved to have a bill for $1,200 (as warranty doesn't cover that type of damage). Battery and HVBJB all...

nope - no traction, car would not shift from park. immobile at Malloy Field in Cville. This is on top of powertrain failure in Jan - replaced one of the battery modules, the HVJB, and PCM that time. Losing confidence in this car that I love.

2021. For the 12V lockout? Not yet.

I am experiencing same...visiting in Charlottesville from Baltimore. Charged car at UVA to 100% and now at 75%. Got stop safely now battery depleted message. Called roadside assistance. Not sure what else to do.

This has just happened to me as well. Not from a Tesla charger, but battery at 71%, everything working fine. Now car won't start - message says stop safely now, battery depleted.

Last update, Ford gave me complimentary extended service warranty, which is pretty good customer service (to be sure, I've bought 7 Fords in last 15 years).

Got mine back yesterday - out of service from January 10 - February 4. Replaced modules 5 and 6, the BECM, and, I think, the HVBJB. Also replaced the LVB as that was dead but wasn't really the cause of the problem. It was the first such repair dealer had ever done, which I think goes to notion...

In this process now. 21 SR AWD. They just got the battery array and are starting balance process. Also replaced LVB and BECM. How long did it take for dealer to get car back to you? After you got it back, what did you need to do to recalibrate BMS?

Thanks Mike. So, some similar symptoms in terms of charge fault and SSN but altogether different from HVBJB failure?

That being said, would the DTC on either module indicate HVBJB problem? Dealer believes (and I guess Ford persuaded as they approved the warranty claim) problem is faulty battery cell, so new battery array on order, waiting for delivery. But I do see reports that even SR batteries of 2021...

Thanks Mike, really appreciate it. Sounds, then, hopeful that replacing the LVB, the BECM, and the battery array with the faulty cell should have things working right again...
