Being cynical here, but that's if we're taking Lectron's word that it is indeed a logistics issue. Those happen more often than one might think, but I'm hoping it really is a mistake rather than a cover-up.
I don't understand why actual fixes aren't in the change log - like the fact that the Android Bluetooth static issue has been fixed (finally!). Ford has some really bizarre software development/communication practices.
I already did the IPMA update (and yes, I am quite familiar with bricking the flashing process; I've killed the process several times, including having FDRS crash on me). Just wondering if there's a bit or two to flip in Forscan to enable other parts, like the in-lane adjustment or the car...
Hey @Ford Motor Company this is your daily reminder (business days only, I decided) that this issue still isn't fixed.
And no, my VIN and Ford dealer ain't gonna help. The sooner you get this through to your team lead, the sooner we'll get off this train of annoyance.
Why they didn't build even the most rudimentary L2 charging stations in their locations boggles the mind. A whole bunch of 48A L2 chargers would have been plenty, even if they relaxed the "refueling" rules to bring it back with ~40% SoC or whatever.
I'm about to go on a crusade of:
a) tagging @Ford Motor Company on this thread;
b) sending PMs to @Ford Motor Company;
c) recording one of those voice feedback things from the car
every single day until this is fixed.
Back when PaaK setup wouldn't proceed if your phone brand didn't have a...
Sure, I 100% agree with your statements - but what exactly is the problem then? We know that reliable charging hardware exists somewhere in the world, but why on earth would EA and EVgo not be able to access that? That is the question I want answers to.
Also, as far as execs not calling other...
So my question is - why are we having subpar equipment? EU DC chargers seem to be quite a bit more reliable (maybe still not as reliable as Tesla's, but still). Everyone likes to say "EA doesn't give a shit about their product because it's a punishment" - fine, but that doesn't explain EVgo or...
Not sure why Farley didn't call up EA/EVgo/ChargePoint/whatever CEO and ask them wtf is going on with their network, and what it would take for it to suck less.
Secondly, not sure why everyone is going on and on about charge port locations. V4 superchargers have longer cords, so problem solved...
@Ford Motor Company can you please escalate this? It looks like this is happening across several Ford models F150 Lightning, Maverick, etc. from a cursory Google search.
141 kWh in ~40 minutes is an average of ~211 kW of power. Boy, do I wish we could see that kind of speed with this car 🤣. Heck, I'd be happy to see half of that power sustained over the 40 minute period.
You're right - it's not necessarily Ford's fault. There's very little visibility into this issue in general, and the confusing/lack of communication doesn't help, from both EA and Ford. It would seem to me that a symbiotic relationship between Ford and EA makes sense; driving business to EA and...
Ha, no, farthest south(east) I've ever gone in the car is West Virginia. I just looked on Plugshare to see what was going on in that area (I'm always curious about specific DC charging routes), and saw that dealership charger.
Roadtripping around the midwest has been fine and no one's bothered...
I've actually never had that issue with CCS charging (level 2 charging is another matter altogether), especially if it's paid. Although I've only had such experiences in the midwest 😄
