Got that battery warning on my ā21 with 54k miles last week. Ford dealer put in a new battery for $225, no charge for labor. Iāve never paid for a software update.
Southern Oregon, Northern California I-5. Very frustrating, but thankfully there are lots of Tesla chargers that always work, and charge faster. No.more EA if I can avoid them.
Electrify America continues to suck. 5 years of this and no better. 350 starts charging at 100 then 5 minutes later charging at 9. Moved to a Tesla charger (1 of 10 in a very small town) and worked like a charm - as usual.
The dealer said that I was up to date and didnāt need anything, so Iām assuming that if thereās recalls out there they did them at some point in the past. They did the 50k service which consisted of an inspection and cabin air filter change. My tire place does the tire rotation.
Two more...
Thanks for that helpful information. Curious as to why the vehicle and Ford Pass show that 2024 date. Seems misleading at best and completely incorrect at the worst.
I have a 2021 EXT AWD Premium and the title pretty much says it. I was concerned about this, and also was having an issue with it connecting to WiFi so I took it in for a check. They were able to get the WiFi connected and told me there were updates āpendingā but nothing that āshouldā have...
Not my cup of tea for sure. I am enjoying my early 2021 Infinite Blue metallic. I think that paint scheme lasted only a few months. Iāve only seen one other.
The Adriatic may be a similar scheme. Depending on the light the Infinite is a deep blue, a bluish grey or something in between...
As I was backing my car out of the garage I heard a crunch and immediately stopped to investigate. Somehow the liftgate had opened between the time I walked past it and started in reverse, and it had bumped into the top of garage opening. This caused an 18ā long 1/8ā crack in the gate.
Fast...
Yes - I had the same issues. Fortunately where we stopped, there were lots of Tesla chargers, which is typical, and there were a few other people charging.. so parking sideways didnāt impact anyone else.
Slightly off-topic but Iāve been thinking about whatās going to happen when older high-torque EVs start hitting the used car market at prices that teens and 20 somethingās can afford. Very scary. Be worse than the current crop of angry young male pickup drivers in our area that drive...
Just finished an 800 mile road trip through Eastern WA and OR in my 2021 Premium AWD EXT, my first with Tesla chargers in the mix. I used ABRP with subscription to do the planning and bottom line; first trip EVER where I had no issues whatsoever.
Weāve had soooo many bad experiences with EA...
Announcing an electric Ford Ranger for delivery at some point, possibly in the distant future is not a Model T moment, and resembles something more like updating your Porto Potty by providing toilet paper.
A Model T moment is offering a variety of new EV models and hybrids, with BYD build...
If youāre having issues with public charging as well itās not your charger. Hope you get this squared away - very frustrating that the dealer wonāt help you out, but not too surprising unfortunately.
90 mile range under typical winter conditions with a modest elevation gain is just pitiful, no matter how much you try to finesse it with charging to 100, turning cabin temp down, etc etc. GOM is off by about 100%, ABRF off by 30%. I know all the strategies for extending range. But Iām just...
