    6.14 - am I the first to notice CarPlay change?

    Maybe someone already noticed this, but I want to stake my claim if possible… They eliminated the rounded corners on CarPlay with 6.14!! It looks much better now!

    Exciting New Way to Leave Feedback for Ford!

    As some of you know, Ford says they’ve finally moved Sketch to the Entertainment tab to make it easier to find with the release of 6.14 - something we’ve all been clamoring for for a long time. THANK YOU @Ford Motor Company !!! But did you know that Sketch is also the newest way to leave...

    Happy Birthday to Sonic - My 3 Year Review

    Three years ago today, I flew to Denver to pick up Sonic - my Grabber Blue FE - and drive him home to Wichita. That odyssey is detailed here. 46,500 miles later, here is my three-year review. Much of this is copied from my 2yr review, with updates. I have no regrets. I made the right decision...

    24-PU0102-SVD-FX2

    Just dropped today… This appears to be the sequel to 24-PU0102-SVD-FX, discussed here. What we know from the release notes… First, it’s a background improvement, so it is not a foreground improvement. Second, it has something to do with “Connectivity” although I’m not sure what connection...

    Renting cars for ride-share gig work?

    So during the Chicago winter meltdown a few weeks ago which left hundreds of frustrated Tesla owners stranded, if you dig into the details it appears that the charging shortage was exacerbated by a great many Tesla rentals, being used by ride-sharing gig workers, hogging the chargers. Several...

    EV Cheating Scandal [LOCKED DUE TO POLITICS]

    I don’t know what to make of this. Originally reported by the WSJ but mostly buried behind a paywall, more of it is copied and reported here… I don’t know this “efficiency number,” but apparently it is used by the Energy Department to award carbon regulatory credits to manufacturers, and the...

    2024: America Decides. A New SUPER POLL.

    Public L2 Charging Is So WEIRD

    So I’m sitting at a public L2 charger doing some weird L2 public charging and there is a Chevy crapmobile (not sure what it’s called) and a Tesla M3 also charging here, at 8am, and their occupants are both sleeping inside. I’m not talking just dozing in their seats. These dudes are camping to...

    AA/CP in the EAP!

    Latest EAP survey on Android Auto and Apple CarPlay was… actually pretty good! Good questions designed to elicit useful responses! Hopefully Ford listens.

    Updating this thread from November 10… 16 weeks ago, back on September 22, @Ford Motor Company announced: "Over the next few weeks, the software package to enable BlueCruise 1.3 will begin to roll out through multiple updates. Please note, this process can take several weeks to complete."...

    PAAK worse after 6.1.0?

    So my PAAK seems to have gotten significantly worse since 6.1.0. Specifically, I’m now frequently experiencing the car being very slow to recognize the key and wake up to open my door. I have to use the door keypad to wake up the car. Your experience?

    What is best means of reporting software bugs?

    So reporting software bugs to @Ford Motor Company doesn’t seem to be super effective. At best, that account appears to be nothing more than frontline customer service. They always try to dump us into the dealership service center cue, which is annoying because the best the service center can do...

    Radio Activates On Its Own

    I’m not finding this in a search, but I’m sure I’m not the first to experience it. If someone could point me to the thread on this bug, I would appreciate it. I have an issue with the radio activating on its own. It activates to a random AM station with static. Loud static. The bug appears to...

    DC to AC converter

    I’d like to use the DC port on the trunk to air up an inflatable mattress for camping. The mattress says it is 0.9A and 105w. I was looking at a cheap DC to AC converter that has an input of 13.8V DC, 12A and an output of 1.04A and 100w. Think that’ll be ok?

    Ford Model E Outperforms Its Loss Projections!

    https://www.foxbusiness.com/technology/ford-set-lose-billion-electric-vehicles-year-despite-increased-revenue To be fair, I don’t know that these loss projections take into account the plan to charge $800 annual subscriptions for BlueCruise.

    Lift Gate occasionally opens on its own?!

    I know there were some complaints early on about this. I thought Ford had fixed it. Hadn’t happened for me in about 6mos. I have the very most recent OTA updates re PAAK and door latches. Today, leaving work, the car detected my PAAK upon approach, woke up, and then opens the lift gate on its...

    Plugging in a dash cam to USB-A port?

    I got a cheapo dash cam as a corporate birthday item. It came with a 12v DC (cigarette plug) to 5v mini-USB cord that is too short. I was going to buy a 10’ USB-A to mini-USB cable and plug that into the port below the infotainment screen. Does that USB port supply the same power, or do I have...

    My crapty Toyota Corolla rental has BlueCruise

    My 2021 Mach E is back in the shop, this time for the Front Camera Crapout repair (off topic, I'm surprised my warranty repairs alone are not a separate line item on Ford's latest financials), and the dealer generously arranged for a rental car. Enterprise gave me a crapty Toyota Corolla, but I...
