Hi AAFEV, I had some issues, yes. I leased a 2013 for 3 years, and it had an SSN that turned out to be wiring harness related (think this is a common cause). Apparently some of the contacts had slipped or were corroded or something, can't remember the details exactly, but it was fixed and...

Just got the ball rolling to purchase my 2018 FFE, the lease of which is scheduled to end in a couple months. Total outlay <$20k, (lease payments, lease-end purchase price, fees, taxes, etc.), and hope to make it last until my daughter can use it to get to high school in 10 years... wish me...

Bummer! Just so I understand, can you clarify what you mean by "deemed dead"? Is the pack not functional, or has it just degraded a certain amount... and if the latter, how much? Same questions for your wife's pack when it "died". Sorry to say I don't know anything about 3rd party battery...

Hey, I'd love an I-Pace, already built about 10 different versions of it! Price probably a bit too steep for me next year though. I am expecting to go Bolt myself at that time, but was wondering if there would be any option at all to stick with Ford...

A few threads have addressed pieces of this, but unless I'm mistaken, there isn't one thread that tackles this question directly. My (second) FFE lease runs out in 6/19, but it sounds like the FFE will miss the 2019 model year completely (at best), and I'm wondering if there will be anything...

Absolutely not the same group. The group you are thinking of was the CRU (Climate Research Unit) from the University of East Anglia. The UCS (Union of Concerned Scientists) is a highly respected group scientists, engineers, policy experts, etc. originating out of MIT over 40 years ago, with a...

Wow. Sounds awesome... for clarification, is this entirely speculation? You give a number of specifics that suggest you work for Ford or know someone who does or something. Either that, or you're really good at making a guess sound official! In any case, I suspect that you are right that EVs...

I'm also very satisfied... dcast, your point is generally applicable of course, but it seems strange to make it when only three people had responded and they all indicated satisfaction! Granted, the OP sounds generally negative, but all responses so far sound generally positive, even given...

Exact same answers as jmueller, though I haven't gotten a coworker to lease one yet... working on it.

Just had my second SSN yesterday at ~2400 miles. Just driving down the road going about 40mph... no thunk, no breaking, no turning, no nuthin, just cut out. Coasted to the side, did the open/close door thing a bunch of times and 7 or 8 minutes later was driving again. This is so obviously a...

Where are you in the Northeast? The dealership in VT where I leased my 2013 (Twin State Ford in St. Johnsbury) has sold 2 2014's, and they have another on the lot now. I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble finding one!

Yes, I was also getting the notification on the sync website that there was a dealer update for me, even though I had already installed 3.6.2 myself. The description of the dealer update was also exactly the same as the description of the update I had already installed, so I was planning to...

2 months, roughly 1600 miles, averaging about 210 Wh/mi... so 4.76 mi/kWh. Eager to see how that changes during the VT winter!

I'm hoping that by "fixing the issue", they don't mean fixing all issues associated with the SSN failure, as in that case I share your pessimism. What I hope is that they have simply reprogrammed the error so as to not completely power down the car. It seems that for the vast majority of...

Installed no problem... did have to re-add the phone, though.

hc, this is a little off-topic (it does qualify as a VT driver question!), but I wanted to ask you: how does the Tesla (I assume it's a model S) handle in the snow, given that it's rear-wheel drive?

Sounds like a great deal! I'm glad you had a good experience with them too; I was also very happy with their support of EV's... I'm going to try to send some UVM folks looking for FFE's there. Hope they get another one on the lot soon.

OP was looking at a 2014. I'm not sure what you mean by $0 down with $955 due at signing... if you mean taxes and fees included with $955 down, then rolling that down payment into the lease gets you to about $335/mo. payment with no money down and including the taxes and fees for the 2014...

Hmm, sorry to hear that... I agree that that doesn't sound like a good deal. I ended up getting $299 and change/mo. with no money down, including all taxes and fees, for a 10.5k mi/year 36 mo. lease on a 2013 white platinum tri-coat (adds ~$800 I think). I got it at the end of June before the...

Great! I worked with Tim when I picked mine up, great guy... tell him I pointed you in their direction, he'll get a chuckle out of that. Look forward to hearing how it goes! Nick
