I have had my focus electric for 3 days. Lots of new stuff to learn! I have my milage display set to the budget view where it gives met the battery image with the "blue cup" and I am supposed to keep the white line within the blue cup. My cup is really short and my white line stays above the "blue cup". The first day I drove the car I don't think the cup was so short and I had earned lots of butterflies - the past two days I end up with negative surplus. Any advice? I'm not using heat or ac.
 
That is all based on your driving. The blue cup may grow or shrink simply because one day you take the freeway and another you take surface streets. Don't sweat it too much.

I have more on it on my blog: https://spareelectrons.wordpress.com/2014/03/28/whats-with-that-blue-cup/
 
Great blog. I will read every word!

Do you have any info on the myford mobile app? I think I may have seen some. When I bring up the app, it doesn't have the data like it looks it should, ie, charge info, ability to remotely start, etc
 
Yeah JMueller's blog is amazing. He captured all the great stuff about the car.

The app should work.

You didn't mention if you have a used car or brand new.

In any event, have you gone through the app pairing with the car? It is a 24 to 48 hour process.

If you have a used car, you might have the old modem that isn't working anymore. You might need to have that recall done.
 
You can check for recalls and field service actions using your VIN here: https://owner.ford.com/tools/account/maintenance/recalls.html

Enjoy your car!
