    Good price on leftover 2013 FFE?

    I think I'd go there and see them in person or call and ask for a sales manager. The invoice on that car is $38840, so they are either throwing in the tax credits or their advertiser typed in the wrong number. Either way, I'll guarantee you won't get it for $28840 without the tax credits...

    Lighting Issues and Door Lock Issues?

    For it to work best, the fob must be within 3 feet of the door handle. There are two seperate sensors on the handle, one on the inside of the handle to unlock the door; and the black "square" on the outside to lock the door. If you put your hand through the handle and push the black square...

    Be careful where you plug in!

    I think the arrest was justified. Think about it this way. You're driving your gas engine vehicle and you get to the school and your gauge reads 2 miles to empty. So you walk around until you find a gas can by the manitanance facility. You grab the gas can and put gas in your car. Now is it...

    New Lease deals...

    Erik, You made a good deal, congratulations on your purchase. Enjoy your car. On a side note, I hate when "salesmen" say they didn't make anything on deal when they did. We need to make money to get paid, the same as you did so you can afford the car, or the dealership will go out of...

    New Lease deals...

    The calculations are all correct. However, the payment does not include the tax or licensing. With the extra $1000 discount it would bring the payment to $222 plus tax. I'm in Wisconsin and I'm not sure how CA calculates tax on the lease so I can't help you out there. The payments are NOT...

    My Ford Mobile not working / Ford customer service SUCKS!

    Did you have the MyFord mobile app setup before the updates? The reason I ask is the update shouldn't have affected the App at all. There is a new version of the App available and the old one does not work anymore. Have you uploaded the new App? I'm the Sales Manager at a Ford store and...

    LED's in Headlamps

    There is no fuse. I thought about using one, but thought that the LED's use so little power I'd never have an issue. The lump is a butt connector under shrink tubing. The last six inches of the wire is a Ford harness connector.

    LED's in Headlamps

    Here's a shot of the fuse location I took the power from. I tried to get a photo of the wiring at the headlamps but wasn't able to. I removed the headlamp housings to do the wiring and then covered everything in the factory corrugated black loom. I bet even a factory engineer wouldn't...

    Autocrossing the FFE ! ! !

    Sorry, negative status. Not surplus. It said I used 45 miles of power to go the 35 miles. The one lap around the track took 5 miles so I wasn't able to run again because I needed power to get home. Next year the car will get hauled so I can make 15-20 runs.

    Autocrossing the FFE ! ! !

    I didn't have to leave them on. On the trip there (35 miles), I ended up a negative 10 surplus. Thats why I was only able to do one run. When I put them on, I noticed they felt around 8-10 lbs heavier than the EV wheels. The tires are also ALOT stickier, they pick up all the gravel on the road.

    Autocrossing the FFE ! ! !

    It wasn't bad, until I plowed into a corner carrying too much speed. It actually handles fairly well. Of course the ST rims and tires helped alot with that. Another issue I'll need to overcome next year is getting a better feel for the brakes. The car stops exceptionally well as it is...

    LED tail lights on 2014.

    Yes it does. 8 Inch tall by 5 foot long of ELECTRIC. I'm the new vehicle sales manager at Havill Spoerl Ford Lincoln in Fort Atkinson, WI. So obviously we're doing a little more promotion. Plus we just like it.

    LED's in Headlamps

    I tapped into the wires right where they go into each individual headlamp, that way I avoided powering the taillamps. Only my front LED strip is on at all times.

    Electric Front windshield defroster

    Back in 2006 on the Explorer and now again in the new Transit Connect, Ford offered a electric windshield defroster. I think this would be huge for the FFE, it would require us to turn on the whole climate control system just to clear our windshield. Not sure how much energy it would consume...

    Cruise control hammers the range

    The factory cruise does the best at maintaining your vehicles speed but it doesn't take into consideration other factors, mainly hills that affect fuel economy. When you start up a hill the cruise will allow a 2mph drop before reattmpting to maintain the speed. To get the best fuel economy...
