Hey this is fantastic! Thank you!
The FordPass app also shows a Warranty Guide PDF that wasn't available before. Using the links that you discovered, I was able to figure out the URL to the warranty guide.
Finally found it. https://help.ford.com/warranty/Warranty notes eDrive sysytems.
Anyone know what the eDrive systems are?
Appears the deferential, universals and drive shafts are power train warranty. Not too sure even where these are located on this new tech.
New terminology for me.
Your link does not work for me.Finally found it. https://help.ford.com/warranty/
"edrive" is the Electric Drive Module Assembly, which includes electric motor and gearbox. It is the housing (and all its content) that supplier Borg Warner refers to as the integrated drive module (iDM). Too many names for the same thing.
Yeah the turquoise area is what I am assuming is our EV specific component coverage, excluding the 12V battery.
Can anyone (also thieves) open the frunk with the jumper cables?
I would imagine so by what I am reading but I would imagine that it is ONLY the frunk that you can gain access too in this way. It says on the video that to gain access to the car you have to charge the 12v battery to gain entry as normal. Just don't leave key or phone in the frunk
I thought the point of the jumper cables is to reenergize the 12v battery. Maybe this only works if the 12V battery is dead? Otherwise it's a poor design that can allow thieves to pop open the frunk.
If you look at the hi-rez platform (above) passenger rear (top rgt) you see a shaft with a cv boot to the hub (grey). Possible page 11
I read that as it just pops the frunk. It’s not for charging the battery. It gives access to the 12v battery for charging. If it works when the 12v is not dead, that is a problem.I thought the point of the jumper cables is to reenergize the 12v battery. Maybe this only works if the 12V battery is dead?

"Note: If performed correctly, the front luggage compartment latches immediately release."
It is the new jump start
. Need to make sure you have booster cables. I would assume a compact 12v charger would pop it open also if you can get to a plug. Some mentioned carrying a power supply but that gets a bit over the top for me and will hope I have cell reception at that stage. . Guess if someone wants in the glass is not bulletproof.
There is a catch-22 here: So you carry the power supply but you need to use it to get into the frunk or trunk but its in the frunk or trunk....sigh.It is the new jump start
Something connected to the divider and being able to open it is my guess. Maybe just wiper fluid and not chargers and other tools on long trips? Was going to be mine and off limits
If the doors really do have super capacitors that allow them to open when the 12v battery is dead, you should still be able to get into the trunk via the rear doors. But yeah, don't store the power supply in the frunk.
The only security issue I see is normally it is not so easy to get under the hood. It is easily explained how you pop off panels to access components once in. Possible the 12V jumper requires a fob or phone as a key present once shorted and prior to popping open? Will not lose too much sleep over it
. It means you have no access to the vehicle and/or 2x manual pull from inside. It is for a dead 12v I guess. Sure will not be carrying cables and a power supply just in case. Wish they would scape the 12v; they must have battery power elsewhere .
