    Interview With Ford About Its Transition To NACS

    Video was a little disappointing. Only news is: 1. No determination on whether vehicles will have both ports or just switch to only the Tesla plug. 2. Adapters will be available in early 2024. 3. Tesla will be supplying the adapters. 4. Ford is aware of the charge port location challenges...

    Vehicle "Preparing to Drive" on Fordpass Refresh?

    To preface, yes I know that the vehicle will warm the battery in cold weather when plugged in on a L2. Current temps in my location are single-digit to high teens. I don't have any departures scheduled (and the functionality is broken with the latest app version - coincidence? 🤔) For that...

    Looks like Ford is considering adding 12V connections near the cowl

    Guessing this is something that might show up in a refresh. Not only will this make it easier to jump the vehicle, but the frunk can also be more secure. https://fordauthority.com/2022/06/ford-patent-filed-for-external-jump-start-battery-terminal-hookups/

    2021 vs 2022 MachE GT Usable Battery

    Apologies, I'm sure this must have been hashed out somewhere in the forum, but I can't find it. When Ford announced the increase in usable battery for 2022 models, but didn't update the range for the 2022 GT/GTPE, I recall there was some speculation that the GT always had the increase in usable...
