    Locked-In

    I believe pulling handle twice overrides that.

    Multi-day trip planning?

    I find it a real PITA on a long trip. I put in the route in ABRP, then look for a charging stop they've picked around 8 hours of driving later, and then look for what cities are there and find a hotel, that way the hotel charging is backed up by a nearby DC fast charger. NOTE - many hotels...

    Coming soon: BlueCruise 1.3

    @Ford Motor Company, this is exactly the type of communication that should be happening, to all owners (not just forum members). Thank you.

    Home charger tax credit

    Pretty clearly that monitoring equipment isn't related to the installation, so I would say no. They also will have no way to know, unless you get audited. The credit is up to $1,000, so if you spend $3,333.33, you get $1,000. If your charger and installation cost more than that, you can...

    Tesla Supercharger network now up to 17 locations with Magic Dock

    Yes, the agreement calls for 3,500 Superchargers with CCS capability by end of 2024. This is separate from the Ford/GM/etc. deals.

    RickMachE, Frunk Repairman...

    Yesterday attended a Drive Electric Week event with our Mach-E and Lightning. Our former dealer was there (the one that won't service the Lightning bought out of state). They brought an E-Transit, a Lightning, and a Mach-E. I know one of the guys (commercial sales), so we talked a bit...

    HVB Charge limit setting

    A very knowledgeable Lightning owner explained that DC charging will default to 90%, unless you override it. Frankly, I question their overall knowledge, as this is the internets...

    HVB Charge limit setting

    I believe the Lightning has a pre-set 90% DC charging limit. The Mach-E doesn't have that.

    This is why Ford is so cautious pushing OTAs out

    There is. That's why my Lighting has failed the latest update 3 times. I plan on looking at the 12v level in Car Scanner and verifying that this morning, getting it up high enough, and then trying again.

    Dealer offered me a false lease deal and took my current Mach-E

    This ^^^^ It's amazing that people don't understand this better. When you go to a dirty Burger King, who made it dirty - corporate or the franchise owner?

    Bodyshop Raises Estimate from $3,000 to Almost $9,000 - Are they Full of Poop?

    I think it's great the body shop expertise on this forum, who knew? Unfortunate that there isn't also expertise in insurance claims. When you contact your insurance company, they will assign an adjuster. That adjuster will work with the body shop on the estimate. So, if they say 12 hours of...

    Bodyshop Raises Estimate from $3,000 to Almost $9,000 - Are they Full of Poop?

    Your insurance pays for repair and goes after his. Use it. You won't convince body shop of anything.
