Volume, yes. Navigating presets, no. I think the next design of the FFE is going to address that and possibly other control issues.

What about the line I quoted? It sounds like the next version of the Focus and Lincoln MKS will have revamped controls for the functions now served by MyFord Touch. I'm not sure when that will be, but that is how I read the article.

Yeah, the form is unclear. It makes it feel like you are claiming you own the car. Nonetheless, that is how you are supposed to fill it out, even as a lessee.

This is a bit ironic, since I didn't get the Best Buy charger and went my own way, buying … an Aerovironment!

So I had this installed and so far so good.

I did receive the hov decals and also the $2500 rebate from CA.

A bit off topic, but I got the 10,500 mile per year lease and didn't try to negotiate more miles because I didn't think I'd need them on a short range vehicle. But so far my pace is slightly over that. I think I'll be ok in the end because the car will sit when I'm on vacation (either because...

I bought the AeroVironment level 2 charger with the 25' cord. I need to get it installed now, but it has arrived. I picked it because: 1) it was $999 instead of $1500+ 2) it is suitable for outdoor installation 3) it is not horribly ugly 4) it has a long cord, which will give us some...

Where were you all when I was leasing? :-P I didn't have these real world price comparisons to guide me! Anyways, congrats on the new wheels.

You are definitely eligible for the rebate if you leased an FFE for 36 months in CA.

I'm pretty sure you are correct. Part of the problem is I haven't ever leased, so I wasn't sure what it looked like to the DMV. I only signed the lease last Saturday, so I don't have the DMV paperwork yet. I have to wait for the plates to arrive before I can file for the decals. In fact, I...

This thread answers another question for me: how does the mobile app communicate with the car? Apparently it's via an AT&T cell modem. So your car needs to be in a coverage area for the app to work.

Sounds like another point in favor of leasing. Since Ford takes the $7500 off the car value instead of you taking it as a tax credit, it won't make you more likely to run up against the AMT.

I cannot for the life of me figure out if my *leased* FFE qualifies for the CAV decals. When I look at the application form (here: http://www.dmv.ca.gov/forms/reg/reg1000.pdf) I see no mention of leases, and they want the current registered owner. Since I haven't leased a vehicle before I'm...

So the short story is that it's easy to get those lease terms in northern california. I just leased a candy blue FFE with cloth seats this weekend on exactly those terms (plus tax and dmv fees). I'm sure an experienced lease negotiator can do better than I did, so consider those terms a...

Which of these level 2 chargers are outdoor capable? Is it ok to charge an FFE in the rain? I've seen folks say that the GE is outdoor capable, but the loud noise it makes is a deal breaker. My FFE will charge adjacent to my neighbor's house, and I don't want them to be bothered by a loud...

Although no one from Ford or a dealership has told me this, I suspect the $159 a month and $2158 down blurb is a mistake. I think they accidentally got the 24 month lease offer on the Focus SE confused with the 36 month lease on the FFE. You can see both of those offers (for CA) here...

Striking out so far. Local dealership gave me a non-answer, just offering to lease me an FFE at a much higher price. I'd like to ask someone at Ford Motor company directly, rather than a dealership. I haven't found the right email address for that yet, though.

I'm trying to figure out if this is for real or just a mistake on Ford's website, but when I got to: http://www.ford.com/cars/focus/trim/electric/ I see this (sometimes).... look in the top right under the MSRP figure: That's a pretty sweet deal if it's real. I've got my local dealership...
