I have been following usage of local chargers on Plugshare. This includes the one local Tesla station. Plugshare shows which the number of plugs at each station in use except for the Tesla station. On the other hand, my FordPass app does show how many Tesla plugs are in use. Does anyone know...

How to I get PlugShare to show Tesla Supercharger sites accepting adapters? None of the other trip apps had any problems displaying the sites when I selected the correct filter setting (FordPass, Chargeway, and ABRP). I have cleared the "Hide Tesla Only Locations" filter. I have the...

Recently there was a discussion about the cost of building the NEVI charging sites, which I have not been able to find again. The YouTube channel "Plug & Play EV" has published several episodes giving updates on construction of the NEVI charging sites. They are part of his NEVI update series...

Last year(?) there was a discussion about using a longer blade for the rear window. Did any of you try this idea? How did it work out? Did you end up having to replace your blade motor? Did it really help to have the longer blade?

INDOT announced today that they were finally contracting for construction of new NEVI compliant chargers. The website link for the announcement is: https://chargingthecrossroads.com/. This is a link to the map and list of sites selected...

Why is the My Ford Vehicle website still not loading when I try signing in? I have not been able to sign-in to the My Ford Vehicle website account since February 29th, when the Tesla adapter was announced. Has anyone been able to sign-in lately? I was only able to order my Tesla adapter...

Friday, I updated FordPass with the 4.33(?) update adding the Tesla SC sites. It seemed to work OK Saturday. Today, Sunday, a bug appeared. When I click on the Account button, it goes directly to the Message Center and will not leave. You have to exit the app. Have you had the same problem...

The last couple days, while watching YouTube, I have seen multiple Tesla ads. They bragged about their car's prices being less than $40,000 after the federal tax incentive. I do not recall see any Tesla ads before. Do you?

Just saw a YouTube video from a Chicago TV station about Tesla Superchargers stations freezing up and not charging. They are facing below sub-zero temperatures there. The images showed quite a crowd of Teslas waiting to charge. It is surprising that this happened to Tesla given their world...

Recently, I traveled from my home in North Central Indiana to Naples, Florida, beyond to Key West, and back. My experiences were similar to those of others reporting on their "adventures" traveling long distances. The trip required charging twenty-four times with three companies: Electrify...

How long does the battery in Mach-E's last? The last couple of days, the car has failed to unlock as I approached it. Sometimes the lights come on. Other times they don't. I have checked the manual. Have not found anything about losing the auto unlock feature. No mention of something that...

Recently, I received an announcement from Ford of the 21G01 update. It updates BlueCruise for my 21 MME Select. Will this update give me BlueCruise ver. 1.2. that some have been bragging about? It is an all day installation at the Ford dealer. I am already using the original version of...

Recently, checked with the Indiana DOT website to see if anything was happening with their roll out of the DCFCharging Infrastructure program. They are making progress. They expect to go out for bids this Fall, with construction starting in 2024 and 2025 depending on the highway. Also, a...

The article on Vermont DCFC charging prompts this report. In Indiana, the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) administers the VW "Diesel-Gate" funds. A check of their website found the PowerPoint images for a committee meeting. It reported contracting with a consortium of...

One of the complaints from BEV drivers is the lack of amenities at charger stations. Most seem to be installed in shopping center parking lots without easy access to amenities like trash cans, toilets, food and drink, and security. Amenities that are expected at most convenience store/gas...

Could the Mach-E Forum start posting the date of the last response post to the various threads? Too often I find that most recent response to a thread listed on the Latest Threads, etc. is a year or more old. It may interest some but not many others. Or, is there some other existing way to...

We talk about the lack of DC Fast Charging here and there. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, passed last year, appropriated a lot of money to add more DC Fast Charging stations. The State DOT's are preparing their implementation plans now. They need to submit a National Electric Vehicle...

While out doing errands, I noticed this White Mustang Mach-E being assaulted by a rapacious, shark mouth, Tesla Model 3. The Model 3's license plate is "Warthog". No doubt a reference to the Air Force Reserve A-10s that used to be based nearby. Can any of you creative folks, dressing up your...

My daily check of FordPass included messages about successfully installing OTA 2.7.1. The main improvement was for using PAAK for sounding your horn and turning the lights on in your car so you can find it.

My Android cell phone just updated FordPass to version 4.14. It requested I re-enter my VIN. I did not have to do so with previous updates, as I recall.
