I didn't read all that, lol. I just chimed in to say just buy a replacement 26R battery. The old ones get recycled anyway.

Amazon is pretty liberal with returns. Buy and return if it doesn't work and you have no other use for it. The EX works (I've used it) but I assume you want wireless.

Apparently, you only drive downhill.

Anecdotally, the only DCFC charger I've had issues with is the Road Ranger charger with the integrated battery. They work fine with my wife's I-Pace. But I've tried it twice with the Focus and could not get it to work. I think it's a software issue. None of the other five or so charging networks...

I'm sure other vendors will produce compatible adapters soon, but it's unclear whether Tesla will support other EVs that aren't listed in their app. The Focus can't be added as a EV to the Tesla app, but there's a section for "other."

I would recommend against it. The issues with the battery leaking occur too frequently, and any remaining warranty won't last very long. The warranty on my 2017 is up in early 2024, so I can't envision how that 2016 would have much warranty remaining. It also lacks DCFC. Timely dealer service is...

Unfortunately there is an income limit.

Definitely, but on the fence as to what. My wife now has an I-Pace which is a joy to drive when she lets me drive it. But I WFH most days, so it's difficult to spring for another hefty vehicle payment for a car that I won't put many miles on. I'm either going full value with something like a...

My 2017 has 73,000 miles. You can check battery capacity using Forscan and OBDLink EX.

You can get an inexpensive Bluetooth monitor from Amazon or Aliexpress. I have one my Expedition because it's driven infrequently. It works great, just walk up to the car and it will pull the voltage data. I got the idea from the I-Pace forum. Early I-Paces had two 12V batteries and the failure...

Does it even run properly? How do you know the battery didn't swell and leak? I'd say stay away. There are easier ways to make money.

I hate to keep this going in a tire thread. But the pre 2017 battery failures seem to relate to pack swelling due to defective design. The 2017+ models don't have this swelling issue, but at least one person on the FB forum had a 2017 pack fail, resulting in a vehicle buyback. I would keep the...

Perhaps the location in the pack is causing some deficiency in the cooling system efficacy, or higher C charge / discharge.

There are buffers on the top and bottom charge levels to protect the battery, so when the gauge indicates full the battery really isn't full. Same on the bottom, as full discharge will destroy the battery. Your routine is pretty much the same as mine. The packs get the job done as long as no...
