Ford sent me an email that I can get a year of BC for free.
When I go to the link, it takes me to a payment window.
What am I doing wrong ?
Do I need a special code ?
#1:
So I enrolled in Ford's Energy pilot program and was approved by my electricity provider (SCE).
Now I immediately noticed that my home charger does not start charging as soon as I plug in - like it was before.
(No, I do not use any charger schedule or vehicle preferred charge times.)
This...
Got my first road trip report back on the new set of run flat tires w/ Rally wheels.
Approximate 10% range loss (compensated for 3% speedo error) on my monthly road trip in 100+ degree temps from So Cal to Fresno, CA.
Averaged 2 miles / kWh.
Compared to no loss on daily commutes under 35 MPH...
UPDATE:
A2Z confirmed my NACS adapter from July 2024 was the first month production version and had a shorter comm pin.
A2Z said they sent out email messages for a replacement last year but I didn't get that email.
A2Z has shipped out the replacement version even after 1 year of warranty that...

Thanks to @markboris for his valuable assistance with choosing the correct tire size for the Rally wheels!
My OEM tires at 33K miles were down to 3/32" and since I really wanted a Rally but can't do it now, so I got a set of Ford Rally wheels (19x8") and put on Bridgestone Alenza RFT that have...
Last week I ordered the @A2ZEV J1772 extension cord to accommodate 2 EVs in the garage.
Used my discount coupon for total price of $137.70 total with free shipping.
Today, UPS notifies me that I owe $182.16 in customs/duties.
Is this correct or a scam email ?
So I zeroed in on the tires I want for my Rally wheels and need advice.
Bridgestone Alenza Sport RFT in 255-55x19.
Looked around and found my local Walmart has them in stock for less ($206 each).
So I went to my local tire store ($297 each) who told me they would not match Walmart prices...
Ordered a set of Ford Rally wheels for my '23 Premium since it's OEM tire changing time after 32,000 miles with 3/32" tread left and I always loved the Rally wheels.
Wanted to get a set of RFT that would fit the Rally 19" x 8" wheels.
What tire sizes can I go up to ?
Looking for more cushion...
This is certainly exciting for those that travel the I5 corridor from Nor Cal and So Cal.

I am going to place a Rally order for lease since there so few out here in So Cal.
Hoping to have it before 9/30.
Any forecasted changes by Ford due to the new bill passing ?
With the new CARB & CDTFA taxes imposed as of today, I was wondering if EV sales will start to pickup in California ?
Been driving myself crazy with the used resale values of EVs and have noticed recently my '23 is increasing in value.
Looking at trading in for a '25 Rally.....
Anyone know why EVGo is discontinuing their rewards program ?
I have $45 of credits to use up before they expire this August.
Here's the deadlines:
July 17, 2025: You’ll no longer earn new points through the program.
August 31, 2025: Last day to redeem any points you’ve earned.

Got a seat belt extender and have solved 2 problems!
1. Seat belt kept cutting into my belly (beer) and was uncomfortable for long drives. 3" extender fixed it !
2. Seat belt reminder chime keeps going off when I drive it from garage to street and need to jump out before taking off.
Found only one spot on the roof that can take my: dual band 2m/Aviation and 70cm UHF radios.
Magnetic mounted next to shark fin antenna.
What do you think ?
Too crowded ?
Left antenna is a LMR Compactenna for 2m / Aviation.
Right antenna a 1/4 wave UHF for 70cm.

Even though I drive an EV, I don't think this silly California law would ever become reality.
Can you say "not enough public chargers" in the state ?
After my flight lesson for the day, I found a new Tesla SC location about 2 miles away and needed a charge.
This is location is approved & listed on my Tesla app.
Found it has the new V4 towers with extra long cables which makes it nice not to take up 2 chargers for one space (V3).
Upon using...
