Isn't it funny how Sandy Munro has turned a lot of us into armchair engineers? I see people posting about the HVB cooling system, waterproof battery trays, heat pump versus resistive heat, too many cooling pipes, octovalves, charge curves, and other topics. Pretty funny turn...I guess this happens with ICE cars, but electric seems to pull other people, people who would normally just turn the key and go, into discussing the nuts and bolts of engineering cars.
In my dream world, Ford would tell us the specifics about the software. How EXACTLY does the GOM work (give us the actual logic)? What temperatures matter when charging, why is the car charging slower today/now? What exactly is the error on the dash ("Service Vehicle Soon", or "Propulsion Fault")? Everyone is GUESSING at how the logic works...reverse engineering by experience...silly.
AND, while I am dreaming, Ford should "honor" the early adopters and roll out new software to us (I'm counting myself since my car is an early VIN, although I just got it in September) FIRST. Doesn't it stand to reason that the early adopters are the people who proved your new car was desirable, are brand loyal, and they are willing to take a chance on it? It shows dedication to a brand, and brought in early money to Ford. Treat us with the good stuff first!
OK, done ranting. Maybe I will sign up for Twitter today and start bugging Palmer and Levine....
