    Would you pay $498 for a used A2Z NACS Tesla SC adapter ?

    Honestly if it was still available I might've pulled the trigger; I've already paid for an A2Z and a Lectron adapter and placed a first-day order for the official Ford one, and I have very little faith I'll have any of them before I embark on a 2500 mile move in a couple weeks. Then maybe once...

    MY21 Blue Cruise Fix Not Covered Under Warranty

    Since this is something being broken by an OTA, it would be akin to taking your car to the dealership, the dealership breaking something on your car, and then trying to make you pay for the repair to fix the thing that they broke. Imagine where enabling that behavior would lead... On the same...

    Warning - Safety Defect Found with Lectron NACS Adapter

    Everyone should cancel their Lectron order ASAP. So that I can get mine sooner. I'll just remember not to try to unplug it from the NACS connector, and if someone tries to tamper with it they will essentially get flashbanged. Sounds like a feature, not a bug to me!

    BlueCruise marketing call

    I got this call a few weeks ago, I'd let BC lapse after the free period ended, and I likely would either not upgrade until the new version was released because the current version doesn't present a ton of value at that price point. They couldn't commit to a date. They offered a 30-day trial to...

    Ford NACS Adapter has shipped [and NOW ARRIVING]!

    There's no way that Ford is that organized.

    First Long Trip (confession, only 165 miles roundtrip)

    One thing I'm looking forward to in my move back to the PNW next month is how favorable driving conditions are for an EV. Temperate climate, LOTS of charging stations, and outside of the cities people drive pretty reasonably (here if you're not going 15+ over, some bro in an F350 grocery hauler...

    500 mile Tesla SuperCharger road trip = SUCCESS

    That's a fair point. I went ahead and ordered one, and good thing I did because the current shipping window is pushing it awful close to my departure date. Fingers crossed it shows up.

    500 mile Tesla SuperCharger road trip = SUCCESS

    That's good to know! I haven't done a full route plan yet, but I am stopping in Denver to see a friend and then popping over to SLC to drop some stuff off and it looks like there are a fair number of options along the route I'm considering. My wife actually ended up on that stretch of freeway...

    500 mile Tesla SuperCharger road trip = SUCCESS

    I'm moving my Mach-E to my new home in Portland, OR on May 10th, so a nice Dallas > Portland 2035 mile trip. It looks like there's enough EA coverage on my route but if one station is down I could be in a world of hurt. I think I got my order in early enough for the NACS adapter from Ford to...

    Silver Bullet - Signing off

    Are you replacing it with something else? If so, what's next for you?

    Blue Cruise $600/3yr offer

    In addition to the $600/3-year option I see a $75.00 a month option which I hope I can activate/deactivate as needed. I haven't yet tested this but if I'm going on a long road trip (for example, I'm relocating from Dallas to Portland in a couple months and will probably drive the MME, hopefully...

    Mach-E being discontinued ?

    When I took in my car in to get the A/C fixed because rodents had chewed up the wiring harness, my service advisor spent several minutes trying to figure out how to turn the A/C on, remarked "I'm still figuring out these new Mach-Es." This car has been out for over 3 years and hasn't changed.

    New FordPass app? Not sure how I feel.

    It looks nice, but our phones aren't 3.8" 800x480 screens anymore. They should be able to fit everything you need immediate access to on the main screen. 90% of my interaction could be 1 click after opening the app.

    My A/C is only blowing warm air

    This happened to me a couple weeks ago; rodents chewed up the wiring harness for the compressor. $550

    Post here if you have an active FDRS account and are willing to look up info for others

    Thanks for looking that up! Oddly enough, I went out to try to move it from my very cramped and tow-truck incompatible driveway just in case it needed to get towed to the dealership, and everything was back to normal (except my TPS warning). I drove around pretty hard on surface streets for a...

    Post here if you have an active FDRS account and are willing to look up info for others

    I'm away from my car but got a FordPass Powertrain Malfunction / Reduced Power message, moments later I got a call from my wife that she got an error when leaving the house and it would barely accelerate so she parked it and took the other car. I'm still on the original HVBJB in my 2021 so I'm...

    Ford delays BC 1.4 rollout for BC 1.5

    Sorry but when this comes true we'll have to burn you at the stake as a witch. Even if it's the most predictable prediction ever. Gotta take out our frustration somehow!

    I hate the new UI on the drivers front screen.

    I don't even care about the UI update, but my car appears to be boycotting 6.8.0 all on its own

    A Ford EV expert is now only a text away

    I'm to the point that even if someone I know calls me, if they don't leave a voicemail (or text me) I assume it's not important enough to call them back. *shrug*
