Electrify America continues to suck. 5 years of this and no better. 350 starts charging at 100 then 5 minutes later charging at 9. Moved to a Tesla charger (1 of 10 in a very small town) and worked like a charm - as usual.
I have a 2021 EXT AWD Premium and the title pretty much says it. I was concerned about this, and also was having an issue with it connecting to WiFi so I took it in for a check. They were able to get the WiFi connected and told me there were updates “pending” but nothing that “should” have...
As I was backing my car out of the garage I heard a crunch and immediately stopped to investigate. Somehow the liftgate had opened between the time I walked past it and started in reverse, and it had bumped into the top of garage opening. This caused an 18” long 1/8” crack in the gate.

Just finished an 800 mile road trip through Eastern WA and OR in my 2021 Premium AWD EXT, my first with Tesla chargers in the mix. I used ABRP with subscription to do the planning and bottom line; first trip EVER where I had no issues whatsoever.
We”ve had soooo many bad experiences with EA...
2021 Premium AWD, Ext.
Going from Eugene to Creswell to Bend. 120 miles. Half trip temps mid forties, half 35. Elevation gain - 4k feet over 30 miles. Descent 2k. Average speed 60. Rain, snowing for 20 minutes or so. Cabin temp 71. ABRP says arrive in Bend with about 30% battery.
Start...
So my Tesla adapter is arriving shortly (ordered in March) and I’m thinking about how to plan a road trip; like maybe 500 miles over two days. I’m assuming I will use a mix of EA and Tesla. Is there a planning tool app I can use that will produce a plan based on my specification of car model...
After 3.5 years of ownership I’ve finally tossed in the towel with lengthy road trips. The poor mileage under freeway conditions, unpredictable charging infrastructure, wait lines for charging, and the Walmart parking lot ambiance makes for a longer and unpleasant experience. My wife has been...
In my car. We do have rats occasionally get into the garage, and last year when got up into the area where the windshield wiper fluid was and chewed through the hose. We have a really bad smell in the car, and it’s a familiar smell, from having dead rats in the garage. Any ideas on where to...
It would be useful to have an indication of the current windshield wiper setting. Intermittent slow, medium etc, on fast, medium slow etc. This could be displayed in the same area as the headlight indicator. This would allow us to more easily select the position we want without having to...
My 2021 MME Premium AWD is in for 30k service, a recall and customer satisfaction program battery cable fix. 30k - 4 hours maybe, recall is software downloads and testing , and the battery thing is software and a bit of hardware. So a week for this? What the heck?
I purchased an AWD, Premium EXT in early 2021 and researched whether I could use Tesla chargers. There was some guy on YT who previously had posted good articles who showed how to do this with an adapter. I bought a Lectron off Amazon and then discovered online that there was no way to have...
This is probably not a good idea, but we did make it into our garage about 2 minutes after this message appeared. Bad planning….120 mile trip with 150 on GOM.
At some point in the last 6 weeks or so, probably after an OTA update, I must press these buttons twice to open the doors. Is this a known issue, and if so, is there a fix?
I’m taking my car in for charging issues and I’ll have them check it out, but often times they are behind the curve on...
My 2021 Premium EXT is at home in the garage at 75 degrees connected to my L2 charger and is charging at 3kw which is less than half of its normal charge rate. Tired of dealing with these kind of annoying but not major issues 2 years into it. That said, any ideas?
Here’s a new one for me! So made several trips to the hardware store (there’s never just one right?) with my MME using my PAAK, no fob. The last trip I bought my 25 cent washer (with my parking meter coin stash cause I didn’t have my wallet) and then got into my beautiful MME to return home...
We have a 2021 MME EXR AWD and I have a question regarding charging strategy, using our Ford provided home L2 charger. It takes 9 hours or so to charge from 20-90%. We have a solar array and given our local utilities method of calculating net usage, it’s financially advantageous for us to...
Electrify America has announced a number of charging infrastructure improvements, one of them being installing solar panels at their public charging facilities. Hmmm.
We have 34 south facing solar panels which provide just enough juice to power our Level 2 charger at approximately 9 kwh, How...
I’m sure there are lots of similar posts, so feel free to direct me to one.
So after charging to 90% FordPass shows I have 57 kWhs. Doing the math, full capacity would be 63.3 kWhs. The specs for this are 88 kWhs. What am I missing?
Also it shows ACBasic charge type - I’m charging L2...
On a 350 mile freeway road trip in 35 degree weather I’m getting less than 2 miles for each percent charge. This means I’m super charging for 45 minutes at 75 kWh (on a 350 charger) for every 2 hours of driving. Add in the time to divert to a charger, find one that’s actually working (trying...
