Triangles, nice job finding the details about the Bolt EVSE . Wow - 111 pages of conversation. Amazing how the boxes look like exactly the same thing.

Triangles - that is a different experience from me. They really didn't need or want the car. Nice you took it in and they carved up the cubby hole. If I had to guess, you live in an area where there are more than one FFE's and they had some experience with the car. The place I went to, they've...

Sure - sorry I didn't get to this sooner. Doesn't appear to have a part number on the unit. Ah look at that, a generic black handle - did away with the Ford branding - darn.

Nope, doesn't work that way. There's no secret handshake like that. Pretty sure you can hit charge now inside the car when you plug it in. Haven't used value charge for a long time.

The letter saying they now have parts arrived in late January. We were in the middle of a move - so waited until early Feb to see our new Ford dealer. Nobody there knew anything about the recall - but they were happy to learn. It took about 3 weeks for the Ford dealer in Indiana - near South...

What a great story. It is a fantastic car. And congratulations on the Model 3. It is a whole different world in that car. When we turned in our FFE from lease a couple years ago - I could track the car for a few weeks. At some point, Ford figures out you sold the car and turns off your...

Oh forgot - I switched to Michelin Ice-X and hated them. This was on the Focus Titanium ICE. Not the FFE.

Totally agree with Pearl. Blizzaks. All four wheels. Go to Tire Rack and read up on why you want all four corners the same. There actually is another reason for all four - speed sensors with the brakes. You will drive the car crazy trying to stop. The winters will be a larger diameter than the...

Well I guess Akua, if you live in Quebec or Ottawa, you have no choice. Isn't it the law, you have to use winter tires. Five winters in Chicago, never stuck one time with the factory tires. That was commuting every single day into the city. Never even came close to a problem. That slippery...

No need to prove it with a one off electric 914 - Formula E runs their cars through a gearbox. The habit of shifting gears in a race car is just way too deep to lose, and they optimize the motor for racing. In a street car, a gear box is totally useless.

You traitor. How can you work at Ford and drive a Chevy!!!!! Yeah, I had a hard time seeing you driving anything with a gas engine in it!

It doesn't hurt to put the daily charging at the far right end of Daily, or roughly 90% (if that's what they said it is). There are people with hundreds of thousands of miles on the clock that have seen virtually NO battery degradation. Personally, I can see maybe 1 or 2 miles lower after 4...

The Nav does give you supercharger stops, and how long to charge. When you are at the stop, the app tells you when you've charged enough to continue your trip. It is not a bad exercise to use Supercharge.info and Google maps to plan your trip. The first two years I had the car, I spent a lot of...

Yes Tesla chargers are listed in Plugshare. You can't filter for Superchargers only - you can only filter for Tesla chargers. Destination and home chargers come up, along with superchargers. Plugshare is the goofy way around to find them (it is useful if you in a Tesla charger desert, and...

Love it. There aren't a lot of steam lines left.

Congratulations Triangles. Glad you love the car. Supercharging - yeah you will be amazed. Here's the trick to find them - look for the big fenced in box near them. The Superchargers themselves are sometimes hard to find. They all have a big fenced in area that holds the transformers - those...

Oh so right, stupid me for reading that wrong. Hopefully the price is down in the $9,000 area.

Oh yeah, $21,000 for a used FFE is way too much money. Sounds like you will go the lease route, or buying a brand new one. However, if you do buy a used FFE, I'd go for a 12 or 13, for around $8,000. The car has just as much life left in it as the 14. Battery is the same size. You can fuss...

No that isn't weird behavior at all (disconnect phone number one, connect a second phone and the contacts from phone one go away). Think about it. Contacts are part of an individual phone, they aren't universal or added to the car. The phone that is active displays those contacts. Privacy. Now...

Absolutely yes, it probably did cost more to ship it than the car is worth. Except, you can't buy the car there. And there appears to be a fairly large community of FFE owners in Jordan. So it makes total sense from their side of the ocean. And it is probably a lot cheaper to buy the car in the...
