In my experience only two clips have stayed attached to the car. Many more went flying some of which were never see again. At least one made it deep into the car but did not make it all of the way to the garage floor. Its probably laying on a highway somewhere.
I took a different approach.
I installed a 30 amp fused cable by connecting one end to the jump points and routing it to the door in the bumper. I installed a power pole connector on the end of the cable.
I put a 12 volt 7 ampere gel cell battery in the frunk and routed a cable from it to the...
I took mine in on a Tuesday and got it back on Friday. A glass guy did not come to the dealer. The dealer removed the head liner and then took the car to the glass guy's shop which was about 6 miles away.
My car is now doing the deep sleep all of the time now. It appears the 12 volt battery is never charged from the HVB. I need to hook up my battery monitor software to see what is happening with the 12 volt battery.
The fob is almost exactly the same as the one for the 2018 - 2020 Mustang. The only difference is the shape of the trunk on the trunk open button. I had a 2018-2020 fob programmed to my Mach-E by my Ford dealer.
The SOC of my HVB has never dropped even after sitting unused and unplugged for a week.
During the same period the LVB went down to 11.8 volts, which is basically discharged but still enough to activate the car.
You can pull a panel out of your car just as easily as I could pull one out of mine.
Pull the top center panel.
Turn it upside down.
You will see several pins arranged around the periphery of the panel.
They are plastic and can be slid out of their mounting point through a slot in the mount.
The...
Apparently you have never removed any of the three panels in the frunk. The clips are what hold the panels in place. Several have gone flying every time I removed a panel.
The picture is of the wire I added to block the clip from escaping.
This procedure will block the open end of the structure that allows the clip to slide out.
Get some small diameter steel wire or failing that a supply of paper clips which are usually made from steel wire.
Select a drill bit that has a diameter slightly larger than the wire.
Look at the open...
A 120 volt 15 ampere outlet provides 12 amperes for charging because of the 80% rule. 120 volts times 12 amperes is 1440 watts or 1.44 kW. 500 kWh divided by 1.44 kW is 347.22 hours which is 14.47 days or more than double the time that you were there.
Your car is not responsible for the extra...

It's an AGM battery. They finally got it right. My 2013 Fusion Energi had a wet cell lead acid battery until I changed it to an AGM battery.
That sounds like one of the following:
A heavy drain is not shutting off when the car is off.
The DC to DC converter is not charging the battery.
The 12 volt battery is failing..
I don't know your electrical capabilities.
I would put a volt meter on the 12 volt power port and monitor the...
Deep sleep is protection for a low SOC in the 12 volt battery. If deep sleep was disabled the 12 volt battery would be completely discharged.
If you drive every day it should not happen. If you drive once a week the 12 volt battery can get low. A 12 volt battery charger can help in this case.
The can with the sealer can be removed from the pump case. Your Ford dealer's parts department has replacement cans. My 2013 Fusion Energi had a similar system so it should not be new to them.

There have been rumors that Tesla may open up their network to other cars.
I don't expect it to happen in the near term.

You need to account for the charging losses. Converting AC to DC is inefficient. Multiplying from the resulting DC voltage up to above the battery voltage is inefficient. I've not measured the actual value but try dividing the value reported by the app by 0.7 if using 120 volts AC or by 0.8...
If the charge increase was 45% then that was .45 x 88 (ER battery) = 39.6 kWh. Divide that by .7 to approximate the actual value including AC to DC and voltage multiplication losses.
39.6 / .7 = 56.6 kWh. I'm not sure of the .7 factor since I don't use 120 volt charging. I would have to run...
