I'll do a rundown test this weekend before I take it to the dealer. As for tire pressure - I stay on top of tire pressure on my vehicles, seeing as how my "back up" vehicle is a motorcycle.

The past couple weeks, with temps in the 70's in Arizona, my Focus Electric has had a significant drop in range. 31,000 miles, - still a few thousand miles on the factory warranty, but I do have the platinum extended care w/electrical & battery coverage. Usually the vehicle reports 74-82...

A Leaf will smoke a Focus EV off the line, hands down.

Kind of frustrating for my 2015, as it's a mix of 2012, 2013, and 2015 parts. I want to replace my tail lights, and headlights, but it's proving impossible.

Interesting. I'd heard the 100mi range was just a software tweak to use more of the 24Kwh battery. Now, the real question to ask is if the new ~30kwh pack is the same physical dimensions as the old pack.

Exactly. The FFE is pretty nerfed off the line. I would *LOVE* to get into the guts of the FFE's ECU with Forscan or the like. Here's an interesting tidbit. The FFE's "torque limiter" isn't active in reverse. That's just stupid. You'd think the smart thing to do would be to nerf the...

I guess a bunch of us are all waiting for updated / long-term replacement tire info... The MFM forums are also pretty lacking as well.

Yes, I agree. Roll about 50 feet with gentle pressure, then floor it, necksnap. ;-)

And folks think I'm daft for wanting to put a CCS port on my FFE. Wow... that's some serious engineering work you've done!

It was a shockingly quick off the line - I used to race 1/4 mile, so my rt isn't bad. Not quite Tesla like, but enough to make me a little upset that a bland econobox like the LEAF left my Focus in the dust. Still doesn't change the fact I'd love to tinker with the throttle response. I've...

I wonder what else FORScan is able to modify. Really wish I could turn off "creep" mode, and change the throttle response a bit. Wasn't happy about getting my doors blown off by a Leaf, of all things.

I guess what I meant was to replace the charging port and harness with one from a 2017. I'd bet heavily not much under the hood will be changing, and the understanding I have is that the car already CAN support CCS, it just doesn't have the connector.

Perfect, thanks!

Wait, what? Wouldn't it be a direct swap of the connector, with just two lines running from the additional pins to the HVB?

Not too bad a price. After adding in the cost for the matching passenger side visor, I'd almost consider it. That being said, a ~$100 modification to my FFE would be one of the cheaper ones on my list. ;-)
