Maybe it's just because I've been driving home in the dark, but I've noticed that my center console touchscreen (MyFordTouch, right ?) stays on for some time after I shut the car off. I've walked away and come back 5-10 minutes later and seen it still on, but never overnight. I haven't...

It's been a hassle getting my registration paperwork processed, but today I finally got license plates for my shiny new Focus Electric, exactly 4 weeks from when I picked it up. I wanted to share a couple of good things. Even though Washington State has not signed onto the same...

There's an old burger stand out in Issaquah (about 20 miles east of Seattle) that has an automotive Americana theme and hosts about 20 car shows a year. Sunday was the second Electric Vehicle show, as a Drive Electric Week event. Three Focus Electrics were on display, and by luck we parked...

One of the dealer-installed options on an FFE I'm looking at is a "Charge Door Decal". Does anyone on the Forum have one and can post a photo ? I expect there's a little icon of a wall socket or an EV logo of some type. In part I'm curious, but in part I want to needle the dealership...

I've read on other Ford forums that you can sometimes get a "Private Offer" coupon if you request a brochure directly from Ford Customer Relations. These are worth $500 or $750 dollars depending on the vehicle. Have any MyFocusElectric forum members received or used one of these coupons ...

I realize that the Focus Electric is a very limited production vehicle and there are more than the usual complexities of dealer participation and local market pressures involved in pricing the car. I've read everything from TonySpice's "Forget about the sticker and prepare to get dirty" and...

I took my first test drive in an FFE this afternoon and it didn't begin on a good note. With the salesman in the passenger seat, I got in and placed the keys in the cupholder, and proceeded to learn a little about the climate control (90F today) and infotainment system. I started to chew up...

Maybe folks on the Forum can give me some perspective on this. I doubt the dealer reads this Forum, so I'll name names. Sound Ford in Renton, WA has two FFE's on the lot, with 25 or so miles on them. I've only ever seen one or two in their inventory and every time I've spoken with a...

Potential FFE buyer here, with a question about the key fob and the FFE's locks. I live right on the edge of a lovely neighborhood, but along the street where I'd have to park my FFE the gravel is mixed 5:1 with safety glass; I'd say there's a car prowl at least once a week. A few months ago...
