    NACS adapter holder for center console (3D print)

    Hmm, this gives me an idea. I keep mine in the pocket on my driver's side door (I use it frequently enough and never store anything else there), I should whip up a 3D printed design for that space to hold my adapter if nobody else has yet.

    A2Z Adapter Recall: Typhoon v1 Exchange Program

    I'm going to be honest, this sounds like Tesla trying to bully A2Z a bit, a much smaller company that actually saved my biscuits being able to get me an adapter for a cross-country move LONG before my adapter from Ford came. There's no way I'm doing even 1,000 cycles let alone 10,000 on this...

    In-Vehicle Karaoke Coming Soon to Mustang Mach-E! (Stingray Karaoke App)

    I will immediately send my car careening into the biggest tree I can find at 110mph if virtual James Corden shows up.

    I love to see the headlights flicking in a video

    Switch your camera to manual or shutter priority and slow down your shutter speed until the flashing stops. This increases the length of exposure for each frame to catch multiple cycles of the pulse width modulation flashing of the LEDs. They are still using DC power, but since LEDs generally...

    Wtf Ford? Do I just not get my adapter?

    For what it's worth I'm in the same boat, the way they described it to me suggested that there was a shipping database that they manually updated and not necessarily tied to the order system on the website. They may have marked the item as shipped through their system and just populated the...

    NACS Adapter is Back! Shipping has Resumed, Ordering is Extended, and EV Sales are Up

    I just got a shipping notification that they shipped my adapter... To my old address... I spent a half an hour on the phone with them months ago to get my address updated. I'm so annoyed right now. Order 8650ish btw They did give me a case number and "confirmed" they updated my address...

    How to reprogram original key fobs after 21 Mach-E completely shuts down?

    This probably feels like a dumb question, but did you replace the batteries in the fobs? I've had mine die with little warning (though sometimes my car will tell me when it detects it getting low). it's weird that it'd happen to both keys at once but weird stuff happens. Originally I thought...

    What is this button above the rear-view mirror?

    I don't think it's an actual button, I think it might be a sensor or something or maybe just a cover for a mounting boss or something? I took that whole plastic dealy off at one point and forgot to look. As far as your kiddo is concerned though, definitely an ejection seat.

    2021 Mach E has no Power or lights on inside

    See if one of your local Ford dealerships has a mobile service van. Mine came and replaced my 12v in my parking garage a couple weeks ago, $275 for battery+labor and they did it same day.

    This is still happening, right? Delay in Recall 23S56/23V687: What's the Hold-Up?

    This happened to me last year; I replaced the center speaker on my own. I didn't receive any updates right around the time it went bad though. I think it was like $38 and it was a 5 minute job. Not sure if the cause is the speaker, the software, the electronics, or something causing damage to...

    Youch, my dealership sent out a mobile service van and replaced my 12v battery in my parking garage for $230 all-in.

    Portland area dealership recommendations for service & recall work (HVBJB + Glass)

    I went with Damerow since they were the most convenient to me and were very responsive. Unfortunately my HVBJB decided to nuke itself before I could take it in voluntarily and I had to get it towed out from my parking garage (went 'round with Ford Roadside Assistance for a few tries but everyone...

    My bad

    As a counter-point, I contacted the "Tesla adapter team" (it's just the Ford Accessories department) to change my mailing address since I moved across country since I made the reservation. They were quick and professional, very kind, and even followed up to confirm when the address change was...

    Post here if you have an active FDRS account and are willing to look up info for others

    Got home from a quick overnight road trip a couple hours away, went to plug into my building's Chargepoint chargers, got a Charging Fault message, Stop Safely Now message, etc., and now I can't get the car to actually 'start' or shift. Went back down about 8 hours later to try again, still no...

    BlueOval charge network + Tesla network was amazing!

    The worst I got on my cross-country trip was a couple Tesla drivers watching with smirks on waiting for me to realize I couldn't charge there. For shits and giggles I kept the adapter out of sight and plugged in and saw their "surprised pikachu" faces when they saw that it was working. The...

    Installing High Rise Condo Chargers

    My high-rise in Portland, OR just has a bunch of Chargepoint networked chargers on the first main parking level. $0.20/kwh on 6.6kw chargers. Idle charge is $2.50/hr if you don't move your car after charging is complete, which will rack up real quick if you forget about it but I rarely see...

    Second batch of NACS adapters are shipping out

    Most of the stations I used allowed me to get just close enough for the cable to reach without contacting the curb or anything, so hopefully it'll get easier for you with time. I've done about a dozen stations so far. stretching from Dallas to Portland, OR.

    Second batch of NACS adapters are shipping out

    FWIW I just talked to someone on the Accessories team to change my shipping address for the adapter. Before submitting the change, they checked the manifest just to ensure it hadn't already shipped and said based on my order numbers (mid-8000s) it was expected to ship in ~3 weeks. Take it with...

    Second batch of NACS adapters are shipping out

    Does anyone know if there's a way to change the address for the NACS adapter reservation? I'm thinking sure they had me enter a shipping address (can't remember for sure though) but I have since moved and since they're shipping via FedEx it won't automatically forward (though I guess I can...
