Simple situational awareness is all I can think of. Anything that can hide behind it will be far away so I don't think it's a major problem. If it's close enough to bump into, it's not going to be completely hidden by the mirror.

Mine expires next week. Not renewing, not planning on comma for same reason as @RickLightning **IF** Ford ever offers BC for $10-15/month I would pick it up when I take road trips. Not interested for day to day driving.

It hasn't helped communication with the FCSP. I have to flip the breaker on and off to get it to change every time. Just changing the charge rate in the app does nothing.

True, thankfully it's rarely cold enough here to impact me in that regard. On the flip side, I do also notice slightly less than ideal when it's super hot out. I think it was in the 80's when I last topped up but I also ended up pulling off the charger without letting everything settle. That's...

Was about to reply with exactly the same thing as @electricpig. Wide variety of opinions, my own aligns with that reply. Last couple times I went to 100% I peaked at 127kWh available. With 60k miles and 4 years on the clock, I'm happy with that. I could probably squeak out a another kWh or so if...

Wow! That's some gnarly gusts. It's amazing what can be powered in an emergency from our vehicles. Imagine if 2kW AC output was standard on every EV. I hope they get things repaired soon for you. Are there any DCFC options within range you could use to top up if needed?

I'm back in the, "I'll take any OTA over no OTA" camp. I'm at least 3-4 OTA's behind yet.

I hope heads roll, throw the book at them. Throw the whole damn set of books. I'm in line with Ziroth's thinking. While it's bad enough to scam large investors, to go after the little guys is wrong on a whole new level.

Only other thing I would have tried is disconnect the 12V for a "hard" reset.

If I had that color, I'd drive it. To bad it wouldn't look good on red.

All season compound is not the same thing as an all season tire pattern. I'll grant that It's not on the same level as a KO2, but there is more ruggedness than the Defender. It looks A/T to me. The step up to the KO2 is what I would call an off road tire and I think that is what @djryan13 is...

Does that look like an all season tire? What would you call it then? Don't know what else to say, I suppose I can use my phone app to record the dB at various speeds to indicate how quiet the ride is.

I went out to left field and replaced my Grabbers with Bridgestone Dueler A/T Ascent. I've got around 27k miles on them now. I can't tell the difference in performance compared to the Grabbers. No additional noise, no loss of range, and traction in rain has been good. I've had it in the snow...

Maybe for you folk up north. For those of us in the south, preconditioning is primarily for cooling the battery. I drive in normal, I don't like the aggressive regen. So my battery temp in 110F+ weather is well above the middle line, which means DCFC gets throttled after about 30 seconds. If I...

That's what my brother has and what I would have bought had it been available in '23. Good find, tell him congrats and point him here if he's got any questions. Lots of good info available.

That should work just fine as far as running Android Auto. The preconditioning part is a little less certain. This seems to work for me as far as cooling the battery when approaching the charging station. I don't have any personal experience on getting the truck to warm the battery in cold...

Unlikely on the sodium-ion, the energy density is worse than LFP.

Where there's a will, there's a way. I would not be surprised to see the community figure out a way to update the SW. Perhaps we can petition Ford to make it open source after the 10 years of support drops. Likely a pipe dream but a lot can happen in a decade.

Just make sure you double check the VIN on your paperwork. I accidentally put the wrong one in mine and noticed it a year later. There was no way to correct it without canceling the plan and getting a new one. I lost $800 of value in that one year, while it was still under factory warranty. I'm...

Thank you for sharing this information. This is invaluable, I would never have guessed this avenue was available to pursue. The veil of anonymity that the internet provides emboldens the trolls. I'm sorry to hear that you had to deal with them on top of the stress of the repair shop and...
