    New Recall - 3G modem?

    Had my modem replaced last Tuesday. The app and website consistently report my range as 50mi, and I can't get Value Charging to work anymore (major pain). Grrr. Also, my dealer (Serramonte Ford) is totally useless. I brought the car in for a rattle in the rear hatch, and of course they couldn't...

    Stop Safely Now Warning

    After two and a half years of uneventful driving, I got two SSN notifications in less than a week. Both times were when I was braking for a stop sign. Took a bit of fiddling to get the car to restart, but luckily I didn't have to have the car towed. Needless to say, it's off to the dealer...

    PERFORMANCE TUNING ANYONE?

    I light the tires in the wet every time. Can't wait until the tires wear out and I can replace them with something stickier.

    Sunroof install

    Nice! A sunroof and foglights are the missing things from the FFE. Gotta wait for next year's tax refund :)

    LED's in Headlamps

    Additional battery drain, and shortening of battery life. Related to being Canadian, I had a co-worker back in the '90's who moved to the US from Canada, and he had a truck with DRLs. Being uncommon in the US at the time, he tended to attract the attention of the cops because his lights were on...

    ST Wheels.... Lowering springs?

    Pictures and video ;) I can picture an FFE going into a lake and electrocuting all the fish.

    Found something new about my FFE

    2014 with the leather option, and I don't see a pouch either.

    ST Wheels.... Lowering springs?

    Sweet! Now if I can convince my friend with an ST that he needs aftermarket rims ;)

    Amazing range ;)

    Got this today after a two mile downhill coast. I don't think I've seen this much range before, especially with that little charge left :lol:

    How do I get just outside air with no heat/ac?

    It is odd that there's no easy way to just get plain air. The joys of Ford climate control.

    Mt Hamilton Hill climb - June 7th San Jose, CA - w/ PHOTOS

    Missed this (wouldn't have had enough of a charge to make it up and back!), but nice to see FFE owners getting together.

    150 mile range

    I wouldn't mind that as the Focus is a commuter car for me. Primary driver, but I have another vehicle if I need to carry bigger things.

    Ford Focus Electric California Car Dealer Directory List

    I don't see James Ford in Half Moon Bay on your list. I got my FFE there, and would highly recommend them.

    Leaf rental

    I wonder if this trip can actually be done (without resorting to a tow etc.)? Oddly the Leaf doesn't show up as an option if you pick LAX for both pickup and dropoff.

    Inconsistent audio on restarting

    This was one of the first things that bugged me about the FFE when I got it as I listen to the radio more often than not (HD sounds so much better than Sirius IMO). I thought I was doing something wrong, and planned on checking the manual, but never got around to it. Sucks that there is no...

    AAA cold weather study

    Brannon said two of the vehicles, the Mitsubishi and the Ford, were equipped with dedicated management of the battery temperature. "We were expecting that difference would yield differences in the optimal range of the vehicles in extreme temperatures," he said. "It did not."...

    If you could change 3 thing...

    1. Agree on black for the interior. 2. Auto dimming side and rear view mirrors. 3. Add the missing features that the Focus Titanium gets (fog lights, sunroof, parking assist).

    It's Heavy! What can we do to loose some weight?

    Leave the trunk organizer behind to save a few pounds. Lighter rims (factory ones are usually heavier) and narrower tires. Oh, hit the gym and go on a diet too :twisted:

    Ford: #1 Selling Plu-In Manufacturer for February!

    Good / Bad Lease Deal

    I drive down and up 101 on weekdays, doing ~64mi daily. I start with a full charge, and get home with 14mi of range left on the average. I get better range if the traffic is bad (carpool lane is only on half of my route). When it rained last week, I got home with 24mi left, which is the best so far.
