Today I received an email from Ford letting me know I have until 5/29/12 or until I have 12,000 miles to purchase the extended service plan. The plan extends the warranty to 7 years or up to 125,000 miles. I called 888-252-3899 and was told the cost for the Premium Package 7 years 125K is...

George, Thanks for the bond of commiserating.... MFM is an entirely new site for the electric vehicles. It has been around for a while with the ICE's. They put together a beautiful complex automobile but they can't build a website... What's that all about???? Your order. I ordered mine on...

#1 The car makes lots of noises.... If you live in a cold climate the humming sound is the fan on the heater and/or the pump for the liquid thermal heater on the battery. If you started the car and it is still plugged in it is the solonoid for the charger clicking back in. If you have your...

I am just keeping a travel log here. "Unable to connect" again! 24 hours and counting. This is so annoying. The inability of a large corporation to create a functioning website is startling. It is like the early days of cell phone connections. Here now gone in 5 miles. Because the linkage...

So I went 9 days without connecting. I called tech 2x put on hold and never got a tech person. Finally emailed customer service and received a reply in 1 day. The gist is you have to do a master reset on the car which clears you out of my ford mobile. Following are the directions sent in an...

Thanks Neal, I have heard that from several people. Reconfiguring My Ford Mobile. It is so hard to get in touch with the tech people, do you know the sequence for reconfiguring my ford mobile? If so could you post a step by step procedure? Thanks, and happy holiday.. Wood

Back to the "Unable to Connect" issue with My Ford Mobile. I have tried all the #1 fuse removal which used to work, but alas no longer. I will be calling Tech Support tomorrow. It has been several days, sometimes it just reconnects but after 3 days I am thinking not this time. If any one...

Gentlemen, Check the owner's manual. "D" Drive will begin regenerating when you take your foot off the accelerator. "L" Low increases generation and slows the auto down faster. Lightly pressing the brake adds to the regeneration when in D or L. "N" Neutral is pure coasting. In ICE...

Whit - Is this problem of "Unable to contact car" still resolved? I have to remove my #1 fuse about 1/month. I am due for my 10,000 mile check up and want to know if I should tell the dealer to install any TSB that may have repaired this. Wood

Because it will smoke your arse.... Even thought the heater is a range killer, it is the best car heater I have had in a vehicle. I wondered why Ford only gives us 5 minutes of preconditioning and I have discovered the heater almost instantly heats up. I set mine at 66 degrees with the seat...

How cool is this for an urban dweller. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/25/automobiles/buzzing-around-paris-in-borrowed-electric-cars.html?hpw

Rw- I had the same problem with discussions on MFM. I called the tech people and they told me it was because I was using a user name with a space inbetween the words. The user name has to be one word. I changed to one word and the discussions popped up.

Have you really tried that??? Makes for a pretty warm arse.... :lol:

Good Job Rw, I got to the budget view excactly as you have pictured. I cannot get to the accessory power screen...... Turning the heater on took 14 miles immediately off my range. If you can redo this procedure, would you mind posting the steps? In exploring these menus options I found...

!!!!!!!!!!! Love it!

Rw - I do have a 240v plug at work and therefore I don't really sweat the range. However, I get caught up in the "maximizing efficiency" issues. It is like a game:D It does appear that I will have to use the gasser for my monthly run to Providence. Pretty much this car is perfect for me...

If you look at my community in MFM you will see "2581 Ford EV'ers" that should be an indication of how bogus MFM is. In my case I have driven 8645 miles. That can be seen by clicking on "Vehicle Info" on the front panel of MFM. If you click on "My Driving" MFM only gives me 1729 miles. Just...

Me too!!! I am seeing the same 300+ watts per mile. I commute, one way, 40 miles and have been getting a little nervous. I can pull the watts down to about 280-290 after driving for 40 miles, but I start off with big number like 450 watts. My fresh battery range has been reduced to 55-60...

Thanks for the interesting info on the 12v battery. In keeping with this discussion, does anyone know exactly what the 12v battery runs? Does the main Lithium battery constantly charge the 12v, or does it only charge when the car is plugged in. Are there any power saving tips to be gained...

Whit, That is what I expected about the flashing. I think they are just wiping out the old info and letting you start from scratch but not really doing anything with the actual battery relationship. I am not sure if or how the algoritum actually interacts with the battery in any way regarding...
