So again...OTHER than early adopter issues... Ford reps need to get better at helping people understand things...which means they need to RTFM, and they need to tell people explicitly to RTFM because their/our assumptions might be wrong. I had to instruct mine, but I'm an engineer AND a chronic...

So, early adopter bumps aside, seriously what is the problem with PaaK? You have your phone with you. It is your key. Instead of needing to push a button on a fob, your worst case is...pull out your phone and make sure BT is on (and if it was, by that time, the car is unlocked...). I honestly...

Reservations got people earlier ability to decide whether to accept their car. I reserved a GT, decided that I didn't need the 1sec 0-60 difference, and SOMEONE BACKED OUT OF a first edition which ended up available on a dealer's lot, so I picked it up. My understanding is that the MMEs...

Just so you're aware - more pressure in the tire can reduce the surface area of tire on the road (REALLY overinflated tires end up with contact patches closer to bicycle tires...I'm exaggerating, but hopefully you get the point). Your tires will take a hit in longevity (same weight distributed...

Once the "key" is stored in your phone, as long as your phone and car can talk Bluetooth you should be good. (I find that it's fastest if I put my phone on/next to the charging mat. By the time it's out of my pocket and there, car sees it)

Door code and screen password still work for me. We've got the keyfob locked up because we have PaaK set up on both phones and PIN/Passwords set.

Large nation-state backed hacking efforts have seen significant upticks in the past week or so (looking specifically at you, China and Russia). Targeting large companies and government entities especially. (Edit: fwiw - can't login at ford.com, owner.ford.com, or on the Android FordPass app. The...

BOLO - Grabber Blue Mustang Mach-E going Kent -> Bellevue Uwajimaya and back this evening just after 5pm. :) Planning to fill the frunk with some dimsum.

Call them out on Twitter. Apparently, Ford execs aren't allowing that shit if it goes public. (I would, but I avoid social media like the plague)

This. There's a network diagram floating around somewhere I'll try to find and paste, but basically there are certain in-vehicle network types that can only move data so fast. Think of it like this: You have the fastest computer with the fastest network interface in the world. Your house has the...

Time to renew my passport, because hell yeah poutine!

My wife commented that your car matches our bird with that red stitching. :P

I drive around Kent/Renton/Bellevue/wherever pretty much every night...and I'm not burning dead dinosaurs to do it!

1: The MME will not actually charge 100% of its battery (99.x/88 usable; you're seeing a percentage in relation the the usable portion of the battery) 2: This is normal behavior for a battery management system (BMS). Balancing cells, etc 3: (from the user manual)

Right, and you'll notice most recommendations are to only charge to about 80%...90% of 90% is 81% so...seems about right doesn't it?

Ford says 90% in the manual. I use 90%. Page 149 :)

This. All the bells and whistles in the fancy chargers add more things that can break. Your car has to "know" most of that crap anyway to charge safely (and communicate its limitations to DCFC, etc etc). I have one of the base Clipper Creek chargers and I love it. Built like a tank, literally no...

Met Sir Mix-A-Lot once at a casino where my friend worked. Seemed like a chill guy.

I went from Seattle, WA to Sandpoint, ID and back in a Chevy Bolt. Trust me, in the Mach-E you'll be fine (there's a 50kw charger ~40 miles from your destination, 150kw++ within about 80) :)

Right you are! My bad. Not sure why I thought heat in/out was split UV/IR.
