And this could be that thread. I already posted my kWh/mi for the first 5k miles. ?
Where do you find the KWh/mi?

Open the trip info app on the center display. Tap either Trip 1 or Trip 2 to see accumulated statistics since you last reset the trip meter.

It shows miles per kilowatt hour so if you want kWh/mi you'll just invert it.

Does yours actually keep track of consumption?

Mine goes from a number to the text "UNDEFINED" after a few hundred miles on the specific trip. I'd say within 100-200 miles it goes to "UNDEFINED" instead of a number. Resetting it fixes it, but just for a few hundred miles.

I think it's a typo; he probably meant mi/kwh
Correct. And I wasn't even drinking yet when I wrote that. :)

To add a bit more.....
I am not sure we have a lifetime reading anywhere. The reading I have comes from the Trip 2 tab because I haven't reset that one since I drove off the lot. So it becomes my default total history reading.

Does anyone know a way to get the actual reading without using the trip odometers?

The only time I've reset the two trip meters was while I was taking delivery of the vehicle. They both say 3.9 miles per kilowatt hour.

I've no idea how accurate they are. I've not noticed the Undefined issue but I also haven't driven over 100 miles in any single drive.

I had the same experience on Earth Day because it was free. But that’s not real Plug & Charge because the system didn’t need to negotiate payment. The other times I’ve tried P&C - yes it is enabled and yes I’ve got the 500 free kWh plus payment method added to my Ford.com wallet - it has completely failed to initiate. Which leads me to believe that the payment stuff may be the problem. I am hearing reports that it has worked for some, which makes it all the more confusing why it has failed for me and many others.

Anyway, I’ve only reach 2,500 in the past two months, so I can’t contribute my own list in this thread. Congratulations on the milestone!
Did a trip yesterday that required two charge stops. At each EA station, the first station did not work - but the second station I tried worked perfectly. Was able to get two plug and charge sessions completed.

Anyone experiencing issues on trying to change driving mode? I was changing from engage to unbridled or current mode to any other mode, it says, Drive mode currently unavailable.

I have not seen anything like this.

Heated rear seats are almost mandatory since Ford tells you not to use the climate control system in the winter months. 3-zone climate control is very desirable in a vehicle with a cabin this size.
...or you could set up a barbecue grill out back.

I remember seeing rear vents in one of my minivans a few decades ago and wondering first, what took so long, an then, is this really necessary? I also remember my dad's cars never having vents in the rear and a few without A/C with vinyl seats... Youngsters won't know what THAT'S like on a long trip in August. All the windows open at 60mph, sitting on towels. Don't get me started.

We're spoiled.

I think it would be great to set up a page with fill-in-the-stats fields. Like a survey. One for 5,000, another for 10,000. No discussion allowed or possible. That will keep the vital info easy to get to and share. It could be a great tool to see if you're getting outside the norm.

This thread is clogged after just one 5,000 mile report. Too much to weed through.

I've hit 9,400 miles since late March! Yikes! Mostly highway miles. Love it still! But I am still chicken to try to parallel parking assist!

If I have an issue, it won't connect to Bluetooth, I don't know if it has anything to do with Car Play, as most times Car Play works and it wants me to connect to Bluetooth when it doesn't. No matter how many times I try, I can't connect. Is this a dealer resolved issue?

And from the vehicle, I have changed the charging point from 100% to 90% - but it goes back to 100%.

Minor things, as overall the car is amazing!
