Wait, you're saying the car only has a 2G modem in it? :x

So just to confirm... The door jams are completely water tight?

Yep, I thought the same until I did the math and saw that my bill was 2x what it should have been.. Turns out that Georgia Power (bless 'em) have a completely hidden fee of ~3.5¢ per kWh for "Fuel charge". Don't even bother looking for it on your bill because it's completely hidden. Not even a...

Doh! You're right. They're Michelins. For some reason I thought the mascot with all of the "spare tires" was the Goodyear Man.

How is the grip/handling? I'm really getting tired of the stock Goodyear LRR tires on my FFE. They're always losing traction. FFE is a heavy car and they're just not up to the job IMO. I'd rather have 10% less stopping distance even if that means 10% less range.

I've heard that the car will only charge at the slow 12A 120V rate no matter what the level 1 EVSE is capable of supplying. Ford == gotta compromise.

Dude, there's no such thing as free energy! You used energy from the battery to get up to speed/up the hill you're now going down. Why would you then use the convert that kinetic energy back to electrical? (unless you're coming to a complete stop/need to slow down) Electricity -> Kinetic =...

Uhh... I only have proximity unlock on the two front doors and the rear hatch.

Haha that's funny, I wonder how many people have opened and successfully closed the cover without any of us ever knowing...

Not in Atlanta (and most other American cities)

I'm currently using the SD card that came with the car. Usually the maps take a long time to draw onscreen (like when zooming in or out). I wonder if a faster SD card would help speed the whole thing up?

Wanna try taking a stab at calculating what the efficiency improvement would be at hwy speed?

You'd be better off smoothing out the belly of the FFE. The underside of the car looks anything but aerodynamic.

I have not owned my FFE through a summer yet so I have not yet gotten a "plug me in!" plea from my car. I just can't imagine why the engineers would base if off of ambient air temp and not the battery temp... The car who texted wolf.

PLEASE tell me you're joking! :x

I agree Michael, There are currently no other EVs available in my state (and price range) that can beat the FFE. I just really wish that Ford & MS would fix the many bugs in MFT and sync. I love driving my FFE but as it currently stands I will not be keeping the car after the lease is over...

FWIW I've driven from Midtown to Athens (70 miles) and had about 18 miles left. Speed matters; I was driving pretty relaxed (not my usual style). Not a trip I'd want to do every day. Would not be comfortable in the winter. On the way back I knew that I could go faster so I ended up with ~7 miles...

This is torque steer. The amount the FFE has can defenetly catch a newbie driver off guard.

As good as car salesmen can be :lol: I've just noticed that they seem to have a corner on the FFE market here in Atlanta. When I bought mine there were a whole three available in Georgia; all at Sandy Springs Ford. (my car was originally delivered to another dealer in another state.)

What do you want Michael?! An EV with EV features?! It's not like Ford has been selling the same exact car for 3 years now! Do you think this is a Tesla where you actually get continued support and updates?! :evil: The above is written with a very sarcastic tone... Duh. I expect at least one...
