    Lean to passenger door = unlock + hazards?

    I have hit a botton on my key fob in my pocket several times wiping the car down after a rain. Maybe they need to revise the shape of the key fob.

    Just call Mr. Electric for your charger

    I went to Best Buy Geek Sqawd in Northridge, CA and they first didn't know what I was talking about, EV charger. Then after going through a few other workers they said they had not started doing the installations. This was about 6 weeks ago. I finally just bought a charger, GE Wattstation from...

    Tires

    I love being able to spin my tires at will :P , but you are right. I worry as I careen around a corner or when I have to stop in a hurry :o .

    Welcome to the future.

    High Performance electrics? Tesla seems to prove this is not an oxymoron. I have seen on YouTube a model S beat an SRT Viper, a BMW M5, and a Mercedes AMG in the 1/4 mile. Wouldn't be fun to have an FFE with an under 6 second zero to 60 time. My electricity is straight from the sun via my solar...

    Welcome to the future.

    I agree too. I have had my FFE for five months and I just hate getting into an ICE car now. When we go out to lunch I always want to drive :D . I have let as many people drive my Focus as are willing and they all love the feel. I have two other vehicles that run on biodiesel. I like knowing I...

    Only took 5 weeks to get my EV rebate check from CA

    Same here. My California car pool lane stickers took eight weeks. I am still waiting for my LADWP charger rebate. It has been a month and they just sent an email saying it will take 4-6 more weeks.

    FFE's - Colorado Question

    I borrowed a car from my Ford dealer to drive home and show my wife before buying We had it for about 3 hours. My neighbor bought a Volt after the dealer let him use it over the weekend. I would definately do the drive before buying. Tell the dealer why you want to borrow it. If I were you I...

    Saw one on the road..

    I have a silver one in the Los Angeles area (northwest San Fernando Valley) and I have seen another silver one in my neighborhood. As much as I love driving my FFE, I am amazed how few I see. Lots of Volts and a fair number of Teslas and Leafs but few FFEs.

    HD Radio Multi Cast Stations

    How do I switch to a multicast station. I see in the Owners Manual that I should be able to switch to a multicast station on the same frequency if available. I was on a station that to the right of the HD logo it showed a 1 and 2. the "1" was highlighted. I tried tapping on the "2" and nothing...

    "PEEL HERE"

    I was washing my new 2012 FFE and as I was doing the wheels I noticed a tag on each wheel rim that says "PEEL HERE". Anyone know what these are for? Loving my FFE!

    2013 Tuxedo Black now in action - first 24 hours:

    I have had my FFE for five days now and have gone 454 miles. I am loving it. My biggest challenge so far was using a public ChargePoint charge station. I was down to 10 miles and arrived at what the car computer said was a charge station, Edison. No station found as it was an Edison worker...

    Dead 12V battery

    My previous electric vehicle was a 2000 Ford Ranger EV. Ford made these from 1999 to 2001 as lease only. Most got crushed. About 200 slipped under the radar and still are on the road. We also had a similar problem with the 12 volt battery. If the 12V battery went dead, the truck was dead and...
