"What a cluster!"
How so?
Ford could have solved this problem by charging everyone $230 for the adapter and thereby limiting initial demand to only people who really needed it. The rest of us would buy a cheaper non Tesla adapter. Since GM and Rivian owners will need adapters, it's probable...
Part of the problem is when each customer hits refresh again and again.
Ford tried to make the reserve process easy by populating the VIN and address but in doing so, it causes many interconnections.
Here's a link that explains what happens during a Flash Sale:

This past fall, I let the SOC get down around 30%. Temps were warm and the car suddenly went into turtle mode. As the car was slowing down to a crawl with full throttle, I let up on the accelerator and press down to the floor and turtle mode went away and car accelerated. It's never happened...
Nothing is plugged in.
Car is driven daily and charged to 90% every other day or so.
Last night it was parked outside (35f temp) instead of the garage.
Reading other posts about the LVB, this isn't a user problem.
Ford made some choices about the LVB and the charging logic that don't seem...
Weird.
We got the same message this morning. 2023 P4X
The car is charged to 90% and was just sitting in the driveway unplugged.

We love our June delivery 2023 Premium eX4....
A couple of weeks ago we traded in our Accord for a Model 3 RWD w/LFP.
The price was 38,990 and we get the $7500 tax credit plus a generous trade in value. Their interest rate was 6.49% The buying process and trade in was all done on the Tesla...
Part of the dealer's PDI should be to update the software to the latest but maybe Ford is not quite confident in their updates and they don't want the initial customer experience to be ruined by a bad software update they later have to pull.
Thanks! So much fun to drive. I followed my wife home from the dealer and already started planning wider tires. They almost look like spare tires :cool:
We took Mach EVe home today and said goodbye to our Expedition Maxine.

Dealer, as always, was great to work with.
Premium 4X Carbonized Gray Metallic w/Light Space Gray
Ordered 9/2022
Built 4/6/2023
Arrived Dealer 6/8
Thanks to this forum, I have the cash rebate code and all the info to tell the dealer to look in SmartVINcent. It looks like there is another $500 incentive (maybe tied to Ford financing)
Dealer just texted me the car just arrived. Thanks to your delivery experience, I told them to take their time with the PDI :) I'll definitely look to make sure the red shock spacers are removed.
Delivery Status Final Preparation
Last Updated 06/08/2023
After getting all that off my chest yesterday, this morning the car shows in Final Prep!
The dealer probably hasn't realized it yet so hopefully we can pick it up on Monday.
Thanks to all of you on this forum thread for your status...
