@jon_h Awesome. I'm still waiting to drive a couple other before a final commitment. Loved the 2014, great car. Hate my ICE V6 Passat Premium with all the trimmings. Question: 24F, what range are you seeing fully charged up. How much does the range drop when you turn the heat on? Since winter...

Speaking with my dealer, I can commit under the current "deals" and then when the car comes in, I can choose a new deal if it's better. I'd talk to the dealer and see if you can get the better choice of what you had when you ordered or what will be available when you actually get the car...

Just had my modem replaced and all is working fine and faster in fact. Range report is correct and app updated/ connects faster than before.

For those in NY state, legislature has passed a law to offer up to $2000 rebate "point of sale" for EV and plug-ins, and a sales tax exemption. NYSEDRA is in charge of implementing the plan and forms etc and have to get it done likely by the budget deadline of April 1st 2017. For the Focus that...

Any News? I spoke with a dealer saying there's one on the way. No set dates, could be several weeks. What are people hearing on residuals and incentives. So far On 36 months and 12K miles 33% residual and $10,250 incentives ansd $1000 lease loyalty cash. Interest rate of 2.1% Branford Ford...

I'm 30,000 miles into my 3 yr lease. In the pit of winter, 4f, parked outside, I get 47 miles, maybe 50 on GOM, with heat on, and a preheat while plugged in. Is you 40 mile commute one way to work or 20/20? I had 20 there, 20 back, car worked flawlessly. With a Charging station at work, you're...

If you have 98% brake efficiency, you are barely using the mechanical pads. Give it a couple good speed run ups on open road and hit the brakes a couple times harder and longer to "clean stuff up" . Then don't worry about it. I'm at 27K in 2 years and there's little wear, just some crud build up...

I Had a harness replacement done for the SSN light, which i never experienced, but, was told there was another recall for a shield that goes around the battery connector. They couldn't do it because they did not have the part. The Recall done has changed the bhavior of my car though. I seem to...

I'm more and more realizing that "we" FFE or full EV drivers are far ahead of the curve of what the mainstream public thinks it wants. You really need to have time behind the wheel to realize that this works, although requires a little more planning, to drive everywhere you want. The PHEV...

I mounted a Thule 480 square bar with 3 Fat Bike racks from Rockymount. It does make some difference aerodynamically but also the weight added is like a small person constantly riding around with you. The Bikes up there are like a boat anchor. I am 26K into a 36K lease and I used to see my car...

Anybody seeing a different range estimate between the car GOM and the MFM app. The last week or so my MFM app says ~65 miles fully charged and the car has readily 80-83 miles when you get in. It has been inaccurate since my extended trip to NatDriveELEC week. I also noted the miles driven...

I was shown 95 miles this morning too. I've been very local with the car for 8-9 months with 8 mile trips etc as I now work from home. This past weekend I participated in National Drive Electric Week in Lake Grove NY, Smith Haven Mall, as the only Ford Product represented at the meeting. From...

MFM update to V 2.0.85 with scrolling map feature in plug-in charger search feature. I guess they haven't forgotten about us. such a juicy update, I think my hair blew back..... from the stink of that App.

I see there's an update on MFM to Version 2.0.85 overnight. The improvement seems initially to be the addition of Chargepoint and Plugshare mapping for Charge points. but maybe NOT, because It shows the same chargers, inclusive of the fact that my Ford Dealer, Storms Ford, is not listed as a...

It's quite simple. People who get promoted at Ford come up through the powertrain engine development part of the company. The true investment in technology by current car makers is in the engine. If you spent your whole career developing and managing expertise in this area, why would you give up...

I think the torque is limited from 0-20mph and therefore you get a much stronger pull from 20-60mph. I think the low rolling resistance tires don't hook up well and if you had full bore and traction you'd get into the 8-9 second territory. I Love the blast from 20-60 but if i get in my...

Clipper Creek HCS-40, 30amp Version, current version was upgraded to 32 amp. 25Ft cord, you can never have enough cord in a busy driveway. It's the hardwired version. I didn't go with the plug version as I couldn't see a use for a portable unit. I operate locally and locally it's my primary car...

I'm at 14K and there is wear on the fronts, need to rotate, but 9000 seems awfully quick to be down so much. Check your alignment. I've noticed the rear wheels have significant camber, top leaning inward, on this car and the inside of the rear tires seem to bare the brunt of the weight in the...

Driving smoothly takes practice not because it's hard, but because your brain was trained for 10-20-30 years of driving an ICE with a certain response that is very different than an electric motor. Also the GOM is not nearly accurate in the beginning of own the car because it hasn't figured...

Turn on ventilation with temp set to LO and AC off and fan on low setting. Crack window and keep dog in back seat so he doesn't fog up the windows. :lol: H
