    HID's upgraded

    The shield you referred to is a physical solenoid operated shutter that lifts up to expose the entire reflector. I saw it when connecting the marker lights on my 2012. With the headlamp assembly out of the car, you can reach in through the access hole and move it manually. My guess it's a DOT...

    Chevy Bolt Drive

    All depends where you live / what dealer you buy from. Here in SF Bay area in CA, you can drive out with one right on the spot. Five of my coworkers already got theirs. I'm kind of jealous.

    Chevy Bolt Drive

    I have driven both. Over 65k miles between two leased FFEs. One week with a Bolt owned by an out of state buyer. I'm torn. Advantages Bolt: 60 kWh! Run the heater! Pedal to the metal! Who cares?!? No need to micromanage the measly 18 kWh usable capacity. (Yes I've measured it.) That a huuuuge...

    Cabin preheat via remote start blows cold air...

    Whenever I try to use the remote to preheat the car when it's cold, I get into the car and it's blowing cold air. I have the temperature set to "Auto" and the defrost off. When driving, I have the temp set to LO and the A/C off. I can get it to blow hot air if I turn the heat up just before...

    Can't run Vehicle Health Report...

    Stuck in a loop. Upgraded to Sync 3.8. Installation went fine, but can't upload the log file. Keep getting error. Called Ford IVT and they said to run the Vehicle Health Report. Can't do that because, since the car was new, attempting to run the report returned the error: Low Mileage A report...

    2012 FFE 150 miles. What's it worth?

    Leather or cloth interior? With leather, you also get a power driver's seat. The rain sensing wipers and auto dimming mirror make the 2012s slightly more desirable than the later model years.

    VW E-Golf lacks liquid cooling

    I drove one. It's pretty darn nice overall. Some things are better than the FFE, and some not as good. Better: Handles much better. Very composed, even on irregular surfaces. Variable regen. (3 settings you get by slapping the shift lever lift or right. - Nice!) Roomier interior. Very spacious...

    When to rotate tires?

    I had mine rotated at 28k miles. They still looked good. Am now at 30k miles. Will measure and report.

    For more rear storage, ditch the inserts...both of them.

    Could this be it? http://accessories.ford.com/carry-case.html

    I would crash your camp out, but I don't have the range to make it to Minnesota.

    For more rear storage, ditch the inserts...both of them.

    If you fold down both seats, there's more than enough room for all the gear for two people. If you fold down only the left seat, you can fit three people and all the gear, but it's challenging and the car will be very full.

    I got it at Orchard Supply Hardware here in the SF Bay Area. I can't find them there or on line anywhere any more. This stuff should work and you can trim it to fit. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003NKHOSU

    FFE rear seats middle headrest removal?

    Re-posting here just in case... Glad you asked. Lift the headrest as high as it will go using the same method as you did with the outer ones, pressing the button on the black part on top of the seat. Facing the rear of the car, there's a secret release button on the right side black thing for...

    For more rear storage, ditch the inserts...both of them.

    It works both ways. If you're in a hurry and don't need a perfectly flat load floor, just leave the seat bottoms down and fold the backs forward. When you want to maximize space and need the flat surface, fold 'em up. You have to yank upward pretty hard on the rear edge of the seat bottoms to...

    We're up to 23 FFEs. That's more like it! I hope they'll all be in the record attempt. There's still time to sign up.
