    First Range Challenge

    Plus you can warm up the car while it is still plugged so it is nice and cozy when you get in. Morning temps in Rochester NY this year have mostly been near zero - nice to have a warm car to start out in.

    Ford service

    This is a bogus claim I'm sure Ford does not condone this + it makes no economic sense. I have the same situation. I bought the car from a dealer the other side of town because they were the only ones certified. My nearby dealer is now certified and is perfectly happy to service the car. I...

    Anyone else find the steering to be too light?

    I drive both 2012 ICE and EV. Steering on EV is a little tight or stiff not really a problem. ICE has better steering.

    Battery gauge inaccuracy

    Unless the car can see into the future there is no way any car can predict the range for the next trip the moment you start out. The car can only look at the temperature to see if heating or AC is likely and consider past driving experience to predict the future mileage. Then as you drive, it...

    Steering wheel stiff

    I had noticed that the steering was tight making it difficult to make small adjustments when driving at speed. The other day I was adjusting my seat and also raised the steering wheel. The steering is now greatly improved.

    Stop Safely Now Warning

    Clearly there is no single cause of SSN. There have been others reported with loose cable connector - this is probably another one. I have over 12000 miles no SSN - no Problems

    Electric Focus range and budget

    When you power on the car looks at your past driving history and the temperature and predicts your budget mileage. Once you start driving if your current driving mode is different than the past it updates the prediction based on actual current data.

    How do I achieve maximum Range?

    Gentle acceleration is another factor. Jack Rabbit starts are fun but take a lot of energy. Personally the distance I drive is seldom a concern saw I drive more like a sports car to get max fun from the electric drive. When people try to set max range values they find a flat road where they can...
