I’ve had great success with a 12V blanket for my young daughter. I never go above the lowest setting and it keeps her plenty warm.

Not sure if it will help with the fob, but with PAAK I need to restart the SYNC4 system on a weekly basis. Hold both volume-down and next-track (right arrow) on the steering wheel for 10 seconds and the screen will restart.

I am disappointed to report that not only did Powerup 6.6.0 not resolve the problem but the theory that charge times that cross days are required to trigger the charge fault also appears incorrect. First off, 6.6.0 installed three nights ago and I got another charge fault today (with my charge...

I’ve also tried using the cabin-air recirculation option (so it just has to heat the already-warm air inside the car rather than the cold air from outside) but have noticed that it automatically switches back to drawing from the outside after a period of time and you need to keep resetting it.

I hate the idea of restricting the EVSE times because sometimes I just want to charge right now, and clicking Charge to 100% in FordPass is super-easy.

I am trying an experiment. I have updated my charge times to 12am-8am and upped the amperage on my charger from the very slow 18A I had been using to 25A (which allows my SR to go from 10% to 80% in those 8 hours). Hopefully this time range will no longer span multiple days and I can avoid the...

I have been using an electric blanket in the Mach E for my daughter (now 4) for the past two years. Works great, especially since she doesn’t have a heated seat. I only need to run it on low and it draws very little current from the 12V outlet. Even so, you’ll need your whole crew to be...

After two years we have 50,000 miles on the car and love it. The only repair has been replacing the charge port after it stopped working, which was covered under warranty. My favorite things: Fast and fun to drive! Huge screen for navigation. Hands-free BlueCruise makes long trips on the...

Ah, but the OP suggests he may use the Intelligent Cruise option which would accelerate when passing a sign with a higher speed limit than he was going when he accidentally turned on cruise. Personally, I think Intelligent Cruise in its current incarnation is terribly unsafe, as my car often...

Robz, any updates on your issue? I have been having this problem with my 2021 SR AWD Premium for the past few months. I plug in when not scheduled to charge and, about a third of the time, after less than a minute I get the charge fault. I have my vehicle scheduled to charge overnight from 8pm...

After 9 months of ownership my charge port died completely and my dealer replaced it at no charge. I suggest verifying if your problem occurs using other L2 chargers or with the included Ford mobile charger plugged into a 120V outlet. In my case, the car would not charge at all.

The two biggest range killers are speed and running the cabin heater. HEAT The cabin heater (using either the Auto button or Heat button) burns 5kW when heating up, more like 1-2 kW once the temperature is stable unless it’s really cold out (less than 20F) or you have the temp set high. This is...

No, Lithium-ion batteries don’t like to be at 100%, so if you never charge to full your battery will last longer. And the longer they’re at 100% the worse it is, so try to schedule your charge to complete shortly before your departure. The only time I ever go to 100% is if I need it for that...

Been to Acadia, loaded a canoe and mountain bike for a trip to the Carrabassett Valley, took it camping with my 3yo daughter. It’s been a great adventure car for us so far. And we’ve been to Myrtle Beach and back twice; maybe not so adventurous, but long trips are possible.

Northern NH is a desert because the NH Public Utilities Commission has active blocked EV charging incentives as a giveaway to the wealthy. Fortunately the NEVI money may fill a few gaps. The NH DOT proposal is available here, with proposed locations listed on pages 27-28 (estimated completion...

I found this very helpful. The auto parts store guy couldn’t figure out how to remove the blade, so this answered that question and pointed me to the right Bosch blade model. I wonder if a 16” blade would fit. Even with the 15” I still have a little dirty area at the top. Can’t believe my 2021...

I have had the GPS issue occur twice now. Restarting Sync4 resolves the issue.

Took an extra day to get the part, but they completed the install in a few hours and my car is successfully charging in my driveway! Thanks, Casco Bay Ford!

Thanks @SnBGC ! I did take it to Casco Bay Ford in Maine who, despite being full on appointments for the next two weeks, spent all day diagnosing the problem (including with engineers from Ford) and they identified the charge port as the problem. The part is being overnighted and hopefully it...

An update: after spending AN HOUR with Ford online chat, I got this response: We are unable to assist in aftermarket items such as this charger. I would also recommend for you to reach out to the manfacturer of this third part charger and seller I will add that I further tested my car with the...
