That sucks. I thought Ford had fixed that problem. I think it was only 2022s that were affected. My 2023 hasn't had any issue with it.

I have the Emporia as well. The latch mechanism on the gun isn't the best design for icy weather. Note when you are plugging in and the latch mechanism is stiff, you may need to push the latch closed so the truck will charge. It's really annoying when you come out the next morning and it...

The port is on the driver’s side in the air dam. It is an outdoor weatherproof socket with a cover, made for an RV. I’ve installed them in my trucks for years for block heaters in my previous trucks. I happens that it is plugged in this morning. I just lift the weatherproof cap and plug the...

This is what I would do. You may have had a batch of bad glue on yours and the other letters may still have issues. It comes packaged with the adhesive already on the letters and proper transfer tape on the top to keep accurate spacing. Clean surface (remove any wax etc.), peel and stick...

I charge on a welder plug regularly. If it has a 30 amp breaker, you should be fine to charge at 24 amps, assuming the wiring is done to code - if you aren't sure, verify the wire is at least 10 AWG. Absolutely verify the wire size before upgrading to a 50A breaker - most likely, the wire is...

Make sure you don’t take PAAK or key fob when you go out to take the picture. Try turning WAL off and leaving it unlocked. This should keep the alarm from arming. There is a second fuse box near the firewall under the passenger frunk cover. That one will be harder to get an undisturbed picture.

The monitor only estimates SOC based on the voltage trends so it can be off a bit since it doesn't directly track the current in/out of the battery like a BMS, but it is close enough to show the trends pretty clearly. The voltage chart doesn't show the SOC trends as well, but it tells the same...

@lister coggs you have a serious parasitic drain problem. The pattern indicates you are pulling around 6 amps continuously if your battery is healthy. It seems your truck is not shutting down properly due to some condition like a door ajar or something similar. It takes about an hour to charge...

It can be expensive to have the dealer update every module outside of warranty. The process would take at least a day in the shop - likely 2. Some of us bit the bullet and bought the connector (and a big power supply) and get a temporary FDRS subscription periodically to update our own trucks...

B1616 - Electrical System High Key Off Load. Parasitic drain can be caused by a number of things but it looks like you are going through the list. It can be caused by something as simple as a bad sensor in a door lock that doesn't let the truck fully shut down the modules. There is a PIM...

We are lucky in Ontario with an Ultra Low Overnight plan at $0.039CAD/kWh. With distribution and taxes, it is just over $0.05CAD or around $0.036USD. Additionally, if we are signed up for environmental credits with certain EVSE providers like Grizzl-E, we can get $0.03/kWh back in rebates...

This depends on many factors, including local and regional government incentives. I installed my own solar system, and it immediately turned cash positive on startup with the incentives we have here. We received $5000 grant (paid for my time to install), we have an interest-free 10-year...

It should just stay in the drive mode you left it in - ideally by driver profile. The only exception is off-road mode, which locks the differential and affects TCS. Most regions mandate that TCS be fully enabled at startup (ie. turn Off-Road mode off automatically.)

As @K6CCC said, you can inspect the coolant level without removing covers. Open Frunk, look through the large slot for the frunk actuator on the driver's side. A flashlight might be needed but it's really easy to see the level. You still have to remove the cover to top it up if needed. Not...

I used it regularly on my 2023 before they removed it. It was good for planning out the charge stops. Now I have to use other tools.

I'd recommend you take a video when it gives you trouble so the dealer has evidence. It's normal for things to move a bit slower in the cold, but not as slow as you guys are describing. In @Robert1380's case, the symptoms appeared suddenly, so it may be that there is a defect in the window...

The no-charge thing is a real pain. It makes you start the day scrambling. I've set my software update window toward the end of my charge window, so I get most of the night to charge before the update window opens and potentially disrupts charging. If an update causes a glitch, the truck...

I'd take it to the dealer first. It is a new truck, so the window should work perfectly for multiple years before needing additional lubrication. If it is slow already in your first year, there is something not quite right with it.

Agree if you equate Departure Time to Preconditioning. Heating the battery is preconditioning the battery for charging, and it will help if you really need those few extra miles to get home - otherwise pretty useless. In the OP's case, the numbers in the app show 1.2kw usage (after losses), but...

It doesn't seem to give up. It will keep trying to use the 1kW to warm the battery. It just won't have much impact if it is soaking out the bottom of the truck as fast as it is going in. It is all relative to how cold it is. A 1kW heater running on an open porch in -20° will only slightly...
