  1. So little faith in the dealership service....

    I stopped by my service dealer today to make an appointment in person because I knew it would be too hard to make one over the phone. It was probably too hard to make one in person as well. I asked the service writer for several things. 1. I want the tires rotated. 2. I want CSP 22P31...
  2. Renting an EV(non Tesla) is a terrible first introduction to an EV

    I was talking to a neighbor who's kid is on a travel sports team. They just recently got back from a trip in the Richmond Virginia area. One of the other parents decided to rent a car for the trip and got a great deal on an EV rental. He opted for the EV because another parent had raved how...
  3. Is charging going to get much worse before it gets better?

    Just back from a trip from Metro Atlanta to Panama City Beach and back. Last year I made the same trip and this year I had to completely change my route because the DCFC stations I used last year were now all listed in PlugShare as broken. Even the way I went had DCFC problems. The EA station...
  4. What a difference temperature makes!

    Just returned from a 320 mile round trip in the 80’s. The 160 miles there left the car at 55%. I left it plugged into a 110 outlet for 20 hours and left at 77% for the return. We arrived home at 32%. That means we could have made the 320 mile round trip without charging and arrived home at...
  5. Things 4.2.x appears to have fixed...

    The reissue of 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.1.3 as 4.2.x is listed in the release notes as ensuring some housekeeping features are included. These are my guesses as to what features were fixed: 1. Owners manual The owner's manual app now works. 2. Intermittent connected services icon and menu I am...
  6. Anyone else find themselves charging longer than needed because of fear that future charge stops might not be successful?

    I just returned from a relatively short road trip that required two charging stops in each direction. At the first stop in each direction I charged for about 15-20 minutes longer than needed to make sure I had enough energy to get to a second, third, or even fourth charging option at the next...
  7. Mistake or a change to Bluecruise map expirations?

    My Bluecruise map expiration updated to 10-06-2073. Is Ford taking Bluecruise map expiration out of the picture? Even if your maps do not update for some reason, Bluecruise will continue to operate using the old map data for the life of the car and subscription? Seems like a valid tactic...
  8. Anyone else have to login Alexa often?

    I know most here think Alexa is the devil, kills children, and doesn’t believe in the tooth fairy but I have actually found her useful. We have played games on road trips and find that Alexa answers questions better than Siri. My problem is that I have to log her in about every two weeks. Is...
  9. First Thanksgiving trip with the MME

    This should be an interesting trip, might get some I told you so from the wife and kids. We celebrate Thanksgiving with family in middle Georgia, a DCFC desert. I have used ABRP and Plugshare to try and plan the trip. Day 1: My home to my brother in laws home. We will just drive it as it is...
  10. Didn’t get a warm fuzzy feeling dropping my car off for the 10000 mile service

    I wanted to use my Ford Pass points so I opted to take the car to the dealer for the first service. I refuse to return to my purchase dealer because of my purchase experience. My goal is to never give that dealer anymore money. There is a different dealer that is across the street from my...
  11. I can now only open the rear hatch if I first open a door.

    I think I have heard others complain of similar behaviour but this is new for me. The car updated to 3.1.1 a few days ago and ever since I can not open the rear hatch unless I first open a door. It does not matter if I have the key fob with me or am using PAAK. Did the update revert some...
  12. Clifford’s paw has a nail

    Was heading out for lunch when Clifford the Big Red Car complained about the front left tire pressure. I guess my Saturday will involve getting a patch. Looks to be solidly in the middle of the tire.
  13. If you primarily use PAAK and have an outstanding RFA update, get it applied!

    I have only used PAAK since I got my car back in March. It has worked ok. Sometimes it worked great, other times I was stuck outside my car pressing the button hoping the car would open the door. I would have to enter the door code and then the car would just start like it always knew I had...
  14. Atlanta to Orlando and back, two very different trips

    This was my second road trip in the car, the first that would require two charge stops in a day. The trip down was great. We left the house in Metro Atlanta at 100%. Stopped in Athens, GA to pickup my son and started our journey to Orlando. Our first stop was in Macon GA. While we didn't...
  15. Can't activate car in FordPass

    All the talk about the impending OTA update had me check to see what my settings were set to, only I don't have any settings. That is when I noticed my car was not connected to my wifi at home, despite being at home. It also does not offer up the ability to select a wifi network and my...
  16. A couple small road trips have left us more confident in longer road trips

    I have had a Bolt EV for a couple years but we quickly decided it was a great commuter car but not a road trip car from a purely comfort perspective. As a result in the 2 1/2 years we have owned it, we have only DCFC once. All other charging has been at home. The Mach e replaced our ICE car...
  17. Trouble turning Ford Assistant, Connected Navigation and other settings on

    I remembered that the car is supposed to have access to radar/weather in the navigation app. I attempted to access it but the option is grayed out. The instructions mentioned making sure certain settings were turned on. I can't turn those settings on. Any ideas what I might have done to...
  18. Blue Cruise in Metro Atlanta, hands free for anyone?

    I have a 2022 Rt1 that came from the factory with Blue Cruise. I have enabled my 3 year trial at ford.com/connectedservices and it says it is active with an expiration date of 3/23/25. I never get hands free. I have driven on 60 or so miles of I-85 and I-985 in Gwinnett and Hall counties...
  19. How to keep the ceiling clean with the panoramic roof?

    Everyone that gets in my car immediately reaches up and puts their greasy hands all over the panoramic roof. I have never had to clean the ceiling in my car before but have had to do it almost every day since I took delivery. Any tips short of not letting those people in my car again?
  20. Phone as a key setup problem

    So it turns out you can not have an emoji as your iPhone name if you want to use phone as a key. I had no trouble setting up my phone but when setting up my wife's phone it always failed. After about the 10th attempt with multiple reboots of the phone I remembered her phone was named one of...
