We own 2 EVs. I have had 4 EVSEs so far. First EV came with a level 1. We installed Pulsar Wallbox. 10 months later (third life crisis) I came home with my MME. Immediately sold the Ford Mobile) Wife and I both needed to charge. Bought a Grizzl-E DUO sold the Wallbox. Worked great Until we...

I just scheduled my HVJB replacement and they are providing a rental IAW the recall documentation. Offered. No fight. Sounds like you need a new dealer?

failed update. Hoping I can schedule the HVBJB and CMR fix at same time.

No when activating cruise control you get no error messages - but lane centering/steering does not turn on. If you cycle lane on the steering wheel it will advice you or a blue cruise error. I’m running my second update. Hoping it’s successful installed this time as I have a 3 hour drive in...

I sold my Ford Mobile Charger within a month of buying the car. 2 amperage choices to me is not mobile as you never know what you are hoping to get. I have had the Grizzl-E mini for a few months and am very happy with it. When I bought our first EV I setup on my dryer port - the 24amps is...

I had mine try an OTA in Feb, but it failed due to manifest mismatch. At this point, I would like to see @Ford Motor Company extend our BlueCruise subscription for the months that they broke it. But I’m not holding my breath. At the end of the day it’s a nice feature but not worth any...

While ignition is off, if LVB reaches 40% then the vehicle waits 48 hours, before the DC-DC transfers 300 Wh of energy to recharge the LVB. If the LVB reaches 30%, then the vehicle immediately transfers energy. so potentially something preventing DC to DC? Or a rapid drain from 46% to...

something does not seem right. The HVB should maintain the LVB once it hits certain wickets. i shipped my MME across the country for 5 days. In that process it started with an LVB of 50%. I disabled the alarm, but of course the trucks first stop they had to cycle the cars. And so basically the...

I really hope you are correct And the OTA comes soon. I don’t want to take the car in just for this. I had the update fail last month. So I have been teased that I have my BC back….

When you shipped how did you handle the alarm? I turned off motion sensors when it left but I believe the vehicle has been unloaded and reloaded so they could get another car out. (and therefore alarm reset) Not sure how many times this will happen before it gets where it’s going.

Was the car plugged into LvL2?

Just to play devils advocate - pre warming my car cabin and battery is a wonderful feature. We like to walk out to a ready to drive vehicle based on a known timeline. ICE also like being warm which is why we have coolant bypass. It’s also not good for ICE engines to go full throttle (esp with...

My experience with hybrids are you get that 40-50mpg when in perfect conditions and not going faster than 55mph. No different than say the MME efficiency in warmer weather and not going faster than 65mph. But the MME is also not a Camry. My 2021 VW Tiguan got at most 30mpg in the same conditions...

I live in MD right now so driving similar conditions. I have a CR1, which is heavier than your select with a bigger battery. I have been averaging easily 3mi/kwh in January. so maybe something is off In calculations or Usage is vastly different. (all just as an FYI, not a critique)

Normally how I do most updates. Unfortunately, it’s greyed out. LVB is currently at 80% so hoping as it stays on charge today/tonight it will go through. I am hoping when it first attempted LvB was low which is why it failed and not because it can’t overwrite whatever is causing Bc to fail.

I have the broken BC and the update has so far failed. Not sure if it can’t over write the stuck image that caused BC to fail or not. Hopefully will go through tonight and will let you know.

@music_cities I sold my Ford mobile and purchased a Grizzl-E mini for my needs. I thought about doing the Tesla route with teslatap for the same money but decided i didn’t want the adapter as this was going to be my every day EVSE as well. The Grizzl-E can pull 40amps and the Tesla cannot. I...

Saw that in the manual for storage. This really should take less than 10 days. Which is why I was not planning to disconnect 12V. I know Ford doesn’t ship them at a high battery charge just wasn’t sure if it was a safety reason or just that they expect long timelines for shipment.

what charge point did you trailer the car at? I am having mine shipped coast to coast - was thinking 80% but at the end it really doesn’t matter no different than long term storage.

I have driven a Tesla M3 twice. Once in 2019, and once in 2023. I really disliked the software, I know its powerful but it to me it felt like a 5 year old designed the GUI, nothing was intuitive and while you can voice control, it’s not my thing. so I challenge your “Ford has a long way to go”...
