Regardless of Fords intentions regarding the FFE, I have been totally put off with Fords poor performance. Ford has apparently taken a back seat when they should be on the cutting edge. Ford will have to go a long way to impress me enough to consider buying an electric vehicle from them. Why...

If it gets into a bender that messes up the charge door I'd be inclined to send it via flatbed for a thorough inspection and repair before driving it anyways. And while I haven't had an opportunity to have a good look at the FFE yet, I'd be inclined to think that in a similar accident, a...

Just going to throw some my thoughts in on the leaf. First, yes, bring a flash light with you if you want to go hunting in the dark. The leaf could use better lighting around the lower part of the dash especially around the steering wheel. Part of that issue is the black interior that mine has...

Yeah. Proof in the pudding is good. Zurc.

Awsome Snowball. No killer deals here lol. Good luck and Enjoy the quiet, the economic savings, the lack of exaust fumes, no waiting or standing at the pumps, no oil changes and on and on and on. :-) Zurc.

Hey Snowball 14 You bought a FFE or a Leaf? Long story short, after 10 weeks and nothing to show, No vin number, No build date, No delivery date.I got tired of waiting for ford to deliver while watching people order after me and take delivery in under 8 weeks. That and the Dealer Manager asked...

OOps. Sorry. Thanks for the reminder. I'd forgotten about that. Zurc.

I canceled the ford and picked up a Leaf. loving it. No regrets to date. Zurc.

(' Ford just doesn't want to sell Electrics.") Yeah ford seems to be lagging for some reason or other. I checked on the FFE I ordered back at the beginning of may and found out that it was slated for an august build. They had no vin number, no build date, no delivery date to give me after 10...

Not so in my case. 10 weeks so far and no indication that anything is happening. The dealer said 12 weeks so I'm giving it that and if nothing at all by that time, I'll cancel the order and go find something else. Zurc.

:mrgreen: YEAH BABY!! TWIN 240's. Now we're talking sports car... :P Zurc.

I just had my charger install inspected and I have the Electrical safety Authority's sticker on my electrical panel so I'm good to go. Just need that Car...... C'mon ford... sheesh. Zurc.

I'd think that he will need to change out the low rolling resistance tires to something that will stick. Other wise getting that torque down onto the track will be a problem. Zurc.

Looking at that video, it looks like ford has put a little bit of effort into "smoothing out the underbody. Considering that the EV was built into an ICE car, its not a bad job. Items like "we put the charger module where the muffler used to be and the battery where the gas tank used to be" and...

While I admit that being able to look down and glare at smirking faces :evil: , it's still an unhappy feeling to be stuck in a dead vehicle regardless of make. :oops: Zurc.

So I wonder what the drag reduction would be if the FFE's bottom was smoothed out? the tesla has a naturally smooth bottom since they incorporated the battery pack as most of the underbody. And while the tesla has a fairly decent range because of batteries, I'm sure aerodynamics plays a...

I've had a similar situation where the engine just dies. my ford Excursion has a diesel in it and there is a little item called a cam position sensor. It's just a little hall effect sensor and if it dies the engine dies. Nothing you can do about it. It happened to me at an intersection and...

Well, if the charge door becomes an issue for me I'll put a warning light and chime in mine. Too bad its not like a fuel door where you just look in your mirror, do a face palm and go close it. Zurc.

Nice. Leave it to Tesla to buck the standard. I wonder if the X will use the same connector. Must be a pain having to dig out the adaptor all the time. My charger was just wired and enabled in my garage today. SO now I just need the car. Zurc.

Makes sense. The cable would have to be a fairly heavy gage to handle that much current. Do they use a different charge connector? Standard is the SAE 1772 but I can't see those pint sized connectors handling 350A worth of current. 350*400=140,000W so it could be you got more than you...
