Here's one I've never seen before. Last night, I plugged my car in and charged it to 100% because I'm going on a trip today. Before I went to bed, I checked FordPass to make sure the car had changed to 100%. It had, and FordPass reported "Charge Complete 100% 280 Mi". This morning, when I woke...

Hey, @Ford Motor Company , I have no clue who Charli D’Amelio is but thank you for highlighting the frunk in the commercial you made with her. (Also, why the very old version of Sync and a car with a frunk divider?)

I’m sure this is a stupid question, but here goes: What’s the difference between just driving to a DCFC and driving to a DCFC while pre-conditioning? My understanding is that all pre-conditioning does is bring the battery pack to an optimal temperature, but doesn’t the battery pack thermal...

I saw a video by @Mach-E VLOG whete they had an illuminated rear GT emblem put on their car. I checked that vendor’s website and they don’t have anything for the front. Has anyone found an illuminated front pony. There were two failed attempts at making them that I know of.

A dealer near me is has a Premium 4X in Eruption Green on their website. They have a boatload of pics (obviously taken on their lot) and, in the interior pics, the seats look different than my MY21 Premium 4X seats. They actually look like seats from the Select trim. Did Ford change the seats...

I’ve been slightly troubled by Jim Farley’s recent comments about establishing a skunk works team in California to make a “low-cost EV”. That, coupled with the very lame 2024 mid-cycle refresh on the current Mustang Mach-E had me thinking that Ford may be abandoning the “higher end” EV segment...

This past Saturday, I went on a "mini road trip" from my home outside Philadelphia to Bethesda, MD (colloquially known as "the evil place" 😀) To prepare for the trip, I charged my car to 100%. My car stays in a garage at home. It's not heated, but it's usually in the upper 40s to low 50s. it...

I booked my car last week for the HVBJB recall today. The dealership has been really pushing pickup and delivery HARD, so I broke down and said sure, they can drop off the loaner car. Well, 10:00 AM rolls around and surprise - no car. I call service and leave a voicemail. 20 minutes later, they...

Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve noticed an occasional loud “snap” or “crack” sound from my windshield. It sounds sort of like a rock hitting the windshield, but I’ve never been driving behind a truck or other vehicle, not have I been driving on roads with stones or loose pavement. There’s no...

Have any Job 1s received an OTA that enables the snowflake on the IP?

We had a small amount of snow this evening. I had to go out while it was still snowing, about an inch had fallen. Seemed like my car (4X) was a bit skittish. I always drive in 1-pedal and unbridled mode. The car unexpectedly lost traction a few times and began sliding a bit, even though I was...

This was originally intended to be my first-time observations driving a Tesla Model 3, but then Avis (not the Krill god, the rental car company - even though they’re pretty indistinguishable) happened, and the Krill (er, “agent”) at the Avis desk tried to stick me with a Chevy Suburban. She made...

What is the recommended 12V battery SOC to receive updates? My 12V battery SOC seems to be around 60% - 65%. I went on a “charge the 12V battery drive” to get the SOC to 70%. When I went into Starbucks for 5 minutes, the SOC dropped to 68%, but I was able to get it back to 71% before pulling in...

I just saw this. I’d like to know more, including how they made it across the Panama Canal and through the Darien Gap 😱! I’d also like to know a LOT more about their charging strategy. I doubt they relied exclusively on PVs through central and South America. Finally, I’d like to know how they...

Ford is still committed to Next Generation CarPlay according to Jim Farley. Hopefully, it will be available for our cars!

A while back (maybe a month ago), I received an OTA that didn’t have a name or number. Today, my car is receiving another update with no name or number and the descriptive text seems similar to that of the prior unnamed update. Any idea what may be going on here? Screenshot of currently...

2021 Premium 4X on 6.2.1 (I think - it’s the “unknown” update). I was driving on the highway today with BlueCruise on, and turned on my right turn signal because I was going to exit at the upcoming off ramp. Usually, when I turn on a turn signal, BlueCruise reverts from Hands-free to hands on...

Last night, I went on a 15 minute drive to a nearby Wawa. When I got there, the vehicle said it was downloading 6.2.1. When I got back to the vehicle, it said it said it was still downloading 6.2.1. When I got home about 20 minutes later, it still said it was downloading 6..2.1. This morning...

I’m in Buenos Aires right now and the hotel I’m staying at has a dedicated EV charging space (and it has a chained cone blocking it, to frustrate the Dodge Ram PowerStroke dualies 😀😀😀) anyway, there is no actual charge coupler, just a port to put something in. Is this a South American standard...

Is there any way to get a record of all of the charging events for my vehicle since I’ve had it? I normally charge at home, so I figured I’d look at the FCCS log, but there are … issues right now and that log is inaccessible.
