Ugh, well at least I felt like I got a good deal on my GTPE last week up to yesterday š¤¦āāļøš I couldāve had a 24ā¦ what a crazy time in the market.
Finally installed the EU Ford (made in Germany) mud flapsā¦
Not exciting, but PPF goes on Wednesday, once Iām done with the coat of glaze and 2 coats of wax Iāll post the whole car ;)
Ceramic coating for the splash guards, that sounds like an interesting idea. Would we expect that to alter the appearance at all, or just be like a more durable protection than the usual vinyl sunscreen? I had thought about just applying a clear coat to them to make them more glossy.
If I remember correctly (spouse has the car) it is yellow before the charge starts, or when idle, and turns to red if there is a problem. Since the power level is displayed Iām good with that.
We could have all gone to CCS2, which until now I didn't realize the EU version of CCS was different. It will be nice to have a smaller door on the car.
This was a proposed new "standard" back in 2016, note the pins are labeled:
The info would be great, but I do like the way Polestar/Volvo presents it on the instrument screen- with a pulsing green outline. Maybe Ford can implement it with a galloping pony (yeah, I know, wouldn't work with the truck.)
Yeah, please let me know. My spouse has a friend in London so if you donāt have them or they got messed up itās no worry. Thanks for checking! Just thought I should get something since I also just picked up a GTPE.
Thought I would bump this thread back up. I'm either going to have the UK ones shipped to me or order the AOSK ones, but I do prefer the size and look of the Ford UK splash guards, even though they require drilling. I have not been able to locate a seller here in the states that is importing...
I did a few WOT tests myself š but of course mine failed driving slowly off my street on the way to an important meeting I didnāt want to be late forā¦
I finally got around to installing a 40 amp line to test my mobile charger and it worked fine for over 2 hours at the expected rate of about 20-22 miles an hour.
I noticed with my new 23 that the last 2 digits on the model number changed from AE to AM. From made in China to now made in Mexico...
Yeah, the first year + of this was a dumpster fire, but I still appreciate the gesture and effort. Another area where dealing with ford directly would have been better than the dealers (considering the 3 I have worked with here.) I assume I will not be getting the gifts since I had the recall...
Looks like they made a change to the Ford mobile charger sometime from 2021 to 2023- I assume a cost cutting thing, but the one with my 23 has a all black handle/connector, made in Mexico, whereas with the 21 was glossy white with a blue logo and appears heavier- made in China, as pictured. The...
