GM access to Tesla SuCs started today, and what do you know, Chevy Spark EV owners are being told the same thing we got told, that their cars will not get access to Tesla Superchargers.

Mine does that when it refreshes, it's been doing that since I got the 4G modem. Honestly I don't even care cause it would be more effort to take it to a dealer and have them look at it than just leave it.

Lectron, I don't believe anyone here has gotten their hands on the Ford Adapter (correct me if I'm wrong, though)

Adapter arrived today, and as promised I drove out to my nearest compatible Tesla Supercharger to see if it would work with the Ford Focus Electric. Disappointingly, (and somewhat expectedly), the charging session errored out with "Unauthorized Vehicle", same as everyone else who had tried with...

My adapter is en-route! I just received an email saying they have shipped it. As soon as I've got hands on it, I'll drive out to my nearest compatible Tesla Supercharger to see if it works on the Focus EV.

Not that I know of, none of the Tesla Superchargers around here have been upgraded with a MagicDock, and with adapters going out, I don't foresee that happening. My Lectron adapter I ordered nearly 2 weeks ago now has not shipped yet, so I don't know when I'll be able to get around to trying it...

I just bought the Lectron adapter recently, once that arrives I will confirm whether Ford support was correct lol I do not have high hopes knowing other people have already tried to charge vehicles like Rivians or Kias with the Ford Adapter and got an error saying something along the lines of...

I called Ford Support asking 'If I had an adapter, would I with my 2018 Focus Electric be able to use the Tesla network?', here's the brief answer I got: 'Focus Electric customers are not going to be able to use the network due to the required software integration advancements, unfortunately...

The inability to get a Ford NACS to CCS adapter seems, atleast to me, more to be related to the fact that they require you to get the adapter through the 'Connected Services' portion of the Fordpass or Ford website (which, for us, turns up with an error). It does not appear there is any actual...

Yeah that's about all that's left.

Pretty much, yup.

Mach-E and Lightning never used MFM, they both were designed from the beginning to use Fordpass. As such, they still have all their charging stuff and features since those cars were designed to communicate with Fordpass. The Focus Electric (and C-Max Energi / Fusion Energi) were obviously never...

Just discovered another drawback of this update, and probably the biggest one for me: Fordpass no longer tells you when your car is plugged in and no longer gives you the estimated time for end of charge. That little blue bar at the bottom that showed an estimated finish time for your car's...

I just updated Fordpass to version 4.29.1 and it removed my ability to set preferred charge times from the app entirely, alongside any sort of driving or charging logs. It also re-named Departure times to "Scheduled Start". Never got the message but I assume it's coming soon.

Just looked at the receipt I received for the service and I got charged 30 Dollars, not 20. That's my bad

IIRC its $20 USD to get the modem updated, atleast that's what I got billed back in January to have them update my modem. I still need to have them take a look again as Fordpass gives me communication errors for most things now (EX: I'll put in a new departure / GO time in Fordpass, and Fordpass...

That's..... not comforting, lol. No message here for my Focus on Fordpass, atleast not yet.

Disconnected and Reconnected the Fordpass app to my car, nothing changed. wind_driven will probably have the most up-to-date modem software out of any of us here (including myself). Side not regarding preferred charge times: In the Fordpass app, you can set 2 start/stop times for weekdays and...

Talked with the Service Dept of my local Ford Dealer, they looked through Ford OASIS and they don't show any updates for the modem for my car, so they suppose I've got the latest version of the modem software. (Entirely possible since I got my modem software updated back in January) Maybe...

Ford Support couldn't find any info on their end, will call my local dealer tomorrow. I did notice though in the Doc I posted there was this sentence at the bottom of the 2nd page: "NOTE for Focus Electric Owners Only: Certain charge scheduling functionality (Preferred Charge Times) through the...
