    Largest inverter the batteries can handle?

    A couple of Hurricanes are approaching Hawaii, and although I have a generator, does anyone know what's the largest inverter wattage rating that the FFE electric can handle? The car will be on and the inverter connected directly to the 12V battery. Does anyone know what the high voltage battery...

    Mental note: Buy a car with a spare tire next time!

    Before getting in my car today, I noticed a completely flat tire. I was in a rush, so I tried the included sealant/compressor. This was a pretty neat contraption, but did nothing for the tire. So I called roadside assistance, and after an hour, I was being transported to my Nearest ford...

    Really hot 110V Plug

    Is it normal to have a hot 110V plug. The metal on the plug is too hot to touch, and the rubber/plastic exterior is very warm. Of course this only happens when I unplug and it's still actively charging, but the metal seems so hot that it would be a fire hazard. I usually unplug after charging...

    SSN, disconnect 12V to start again?

    I know in a perfect situation, you should have the FFE towed after experiencing a SSN. But if that's not an option, would disconnecting the 12V and reconnecting it allow for a hard reboot so you can continue driving? I'm keeping a small toolkit with adjustable wrench in my car just in case I...

    Strange 3.51 Issues

    Since getting the update, the guidelines keep turning off when reversing. I'll turn them back on, and as soon as the car turns off and back on, the guidelines turn off. Also, when using voice command to switch to Bluetooth Stereo, it says "No phone connected", then switches and works fine...

    Fully discharge battery every month?

    I know many smartphone experts recommend that you completely drain a Lithium Ion monthly to get a more accurate battery level. Is this true with the FFE? I know it won't go below 20%, perhaps a little lower with recent software updates.

    Keeping car locked with remote in exterior lock box

    Anyone know if it's possible to keep the FFE locked when the remote is in a lock box attached to a door handle? When I'm surfing, I can't carry the remote with me. The only way I've figured is to leave the remote in the car, so it will stay locked using the little physical key to lock the...
