That's what I needed to know. Thanks!

Right now I'm charging the FFE on the charger that came with the car. An electrician says that the way things are wired in the house, I can change breakers and install a 30 amp wall charger. If I want to put in a 40 amp charger, the investment would be higher with running heavier duty wiring and...

I think the only real maintenance item listed in the owners manual is to change the coolant at 100,000 miles. With any complicated piece of new machinery, it is good to do a general inspection after a short period of service to make certain all the bolts were properly torqued, wiring harnesses...

No one even touched the car. I walked in and walked back out to it.

The dealer said I needed to drop the car off to assess which modem it needed, then drop it off again later when the modem arrived. I took it in for the first appointment and the service rep filled out all the drop off paperwork, then said I didn't have to drop off the car, he'd order the part...

Why should Ford foot the bill for this? My car didn't have CarPlay when I bought it. That's the way it was manufactured. Getting it would be an upgrade, not a repair. Was it promised on the 2016?

How does it work when you drive it in L instead of D?

This is great info! So as to charging cycles, it looks like you dropped the car to about 25-30% battery capacity and then fully charged it at least five days per week?

That's the kind of stuff I was looking for. Thank you!

Has anyone done any rigorous, controlled testing around KWH/mi at different speeds, A/C impact at different temperature settings, etc? Not anecdotal data points, but a scientific study? I was going to do some, but figured it had likely already been done somewhere in a group this into the...

Were Electrics made in the Michigan assembly plant?

Julia for her birthday, or a Hawaiian name for her color. There's also a good chance she'll tell you when you meet her. That's how all my cars did it.

I think you have to look under the rear hatch.

Congratulations. You're a parent!

The car is smart enough to know that the key fob is on a different side than the handle being opened? That would take more than one really smart receiver in the vehicle to determine distance from center. That doesn't seem plausible.

So the advice here is to keep my battery charged at 50%, giving me a 35 mile range, so that I can keep the battery from eventually degrading and giving me a 35 mile range. (Lots of work) + (Permanent Range Anxiety) = (I'll just plug the car in every night)

I live in hot, flat Florida with a highway commute. You'd be biting your nails every day trying to get 80 miles out of the car on the highway. During the usual Texas cold snap in winter, you wouldn't make it if you turned on heat. And without a 240 volt charger, it would take 20 hours to...

How's the battery holding up?

Putting a charger on a battery with dead cells won't charge it. You need to check the 12 volt for voltage and cold cranking amps at any auto parts store.
