2017 Focus electric with ~30k on it. I'm fairly familiar with electric cars as I've been driving electric since the 2011 leaf, then got a 2014 Focus electric, and now the 2017 Focus electric. So I get how running the heat kills range. But in my past experience running the air conditioner has...

I too got my first and second Stop Safely Now warning. Both happened today within 10 minutes of each other. While driving too ... fun... Had to shut down, open door, restart, and things looked back to normal. As a coincidence I did notice there's an update to my SYNC software. I updated...

I'm coming off a 2011 nissan leaf so it may just be that I'm too used to that navigation screen, but this focus screen seems kinda' slow, not as responsive. There's instances where I need to zoom out on demand to get a better sense of where I'm at, and then eventually I zoom in, and out, etc...
