This happened to me the day I bought the damn thing--turned out to be a short in the GPS unit.

I certainly hope that's the case--I've been trying to get Ford to do something about my battery, and if most people are seeing a 10% difference (vs. my 30%), I have a better case.

Have you tried setting "Go" times? The car will pre-heat off grid power, and the range won't be as horrid.

The best I ever got was 80 miles, and that was while driving absurdly conservatively. On average, I'm seeing 60ish miles, though I *did* get 70 last night while drafting a semi... I rolled into my driveway with 1 mile left and a 220Wh/mi consumption--ridiculous.

Yeah, the dash readout. Ford never corrected me when I was discussing it. No, it's always been pretty crappy. Gas tank vs. battery capacity is exactly the same. Electric cars all have different consumption rates, just like gasoline powered cars. Not all gasoline powered cars have the same fuel...

I've been to three dealerships so far for service: Monrovia (Advantage), Torrance (AutoNation), and Hawthorne (South Bay). All have done any appropriate updates without a problem, but none of them are able to address anything more complicated (though Advantage fixed my 12V issue). I bought it...

Ack, I just read this right after I posted about this... I had a conversation with Ford Corporate, and the battery will not go below 20-30%. I'm rather aggravated about this, as I was told the battery had 23kWh to use; I can only use 16 before my car SSNs on me.

I've had my 2012 FFE since October of last year. As you all know, the stated capacity of the battery is 23kWh. As you probably also noticed, you cannot actually use 23kWh of the battery pack. I have only been able to squeeze 16kWh out of the pack, leaving me with a significantly stunted range...

I wouldn't recommend planning on going past 0. I get the SSN the moment I hit it, and the accelerator stops working completely about 15 seconds afterwards. It's happened 4 times now, and each time, I supposedly had more range than I needed...

This has happened to me several times--I just slide the gear selector forwards and back a few times, and it unlocks. I THINK it's the parking pawl, or the EV's equivalent.
