I have Chargepoint Flex and am in a Time of Use charging plan from my utility provider. If I plug it in during a charge time, it faults. I generally have to wait a while before I can correct it thru Fordpass. It initially comes up with only 'charge to 100%' but if I wait a while the choice of...
My car guy is having a hard time finding appropriate snow tires. Colorado .. go figure. I have gone two winters on the factory tires that are still in good condition but plan to be in the mountains more this year and don't love the factory tires on bad roads. My guy has found bf goodrich...
My understanding is that dealerships are protected. Just as the country built-out the highway infrastructure, there was need for service (and sales). Tesla has shaken the system but the laws are still in place for Ford . This is going to change probably but it won't be pretty.
"What is the...
Crossed the country 2x solo, 22k miles....all good, love the Blue Cruise, good comfort, and lots of fun. I frankly took a flyer on the MMe with no real use reviews in early 2021 and have been extremely happy.
I think this has been mentioned in previous posts. My MMe has produced same syndrome a few times but is gone by my subsequent drive. Stop and restart perhaps.
I hope someone at @Ford Motor Company is trying these stations and apps. On an Android phone, Blink app blinks a lot, continually refreshing locations, allowing no opportunity to get beyond an undetailed map. Red E provides claimed charging speed on only one of their locations out of a few that...
I should have figured I would find this info on this forum. I was on vacation and came back to a new podcast. Glad to know about the regulars' new home.
First Mustang I ever saw was in a Detroit suburb in a church parking lot. Was gobsmacked when my aunt, probably in her 40s (ancient by my reckoning at age 8) was the owner.
Just returned from 3k+ trip and I have to say on I-80 corridor, EA was most reliable and fastest. Shell was the worst and I don't know why Ford trip planner routed me to one when they rated it 0.1 (PlugShare rated it 9 or 10...go figure).
I drove similar trip last year and EA was pathetic...
Plug and charge stopped working for me a while ago and I have only been able to access the free charging on EA once. Are there any magic words I can use?
Just coming off of a long trip and no joy... Not many more months and trips left to use the free charging.
12v battery was my downfall with updates but it took two times at dealership to address the problem. Don't ask me but the "wrong" test was performed the first time even tho I specifically stated that my suspicion for failed OTAs was the 12v battery. Second trip resulted in replaced battery under...
I drove from CO to MA last year and only once did EA work with "free" MMe charging. I finally gave up and always initiated with EA app thinking it would get better. About to embark CO to MI so I just navigated to local EA using Ford nav. So much for that...still no joy. Both car and app are set...
I'm on my way to MI but probably steering clear of GP. It's where I grew up but charging is dismal when I just looked. Michigan, in general, is pretty iffy for fast charging 🥴.
Good write-up....so far!
Weird but if I go back into the "You're rolling with..." updates in my Fordpass app it takes me directly to my local Wunderground weather station... consistently.🙄
Grew up in Motown and swore that I would buy American one day. Saw an unbadged MMe in my neighborhood one day and when I figured out what it was, test drove one. Sold!
MMe is exactly everything I want in a car.
As for Tesla, was waiting (and waiting) for promised models and the longer I waited...
Just start putting more miles on the car. There is a learning/comfort curve. The more you drive, the more you will understand your EV mileage peculiarities. As well as familiarizing yourself with the GOM (Guess O Meter), a really good thing is to do some public charging. Happy Trails!
Ford Route Planner has me routed to Rivian Adventure Network charger in Bay City MI. User on Plug Share says it is closed to non Rivian vehicles since July 15. Hello @Ford Motor Company.
