Got the truck back yesterday 4/12. We went from no eta/no part available, to Ford corp mentioning some sort of expedited process happening, to getting a surprise call the truck was ready.
Canāt recommend Puente Hills Ford in SoCal highly enough. Received proactive update calls from them twice...
Update: Brake Booster failed. Part on back order with no ETA.
Waiting to see about a loaner/rental.
A little unnerving to have brakes fail at 1,400 miles.
While coming to a stop on the highway in traffic with normal regen braking indicators (not using cruise control or 1 pedal driving) another car pulled in between us and the truck ahead of us. Even though regen brakes were already engaged and we were stopping, pre-collision sensors alerted...
I just put up a blog post here with more details, including links to the various pieces of the setup. Answers below as well.
It's a Intex air mattress, "full" size. My buddy and I are both 6'3" and wide, and it felt a lot roomier than sharing a normal Full size bed because there was still more...
Fits very nicely. Only changes I needed to do was cut a hole in the bed liner part of the tent where the pro power outlets are in the back. (A duct tape frame around the hole seems to have worked nicely to keep the cuts from spreading/tearing beyond where I intended.)
The zone lighting almost works too good. Would love a ācamping modeā to turn off door chimes, door activated lights, frunk beeping, and instrument cluster lights while pro power is running.
Will have to get creative when we visit a dark sky site soon where the lights will cause disturbances to...
Took our recently acquired ā23 XLT ER camping for the first time.
Eastern Los Angeles County to Ojai. (~100 miles, ~1300ā elevation change). Charged to 100% the night before. Arrived at the top of the āmountainā at 68%. Inflated an air mattress, ran electric blankets all night, LED lights...
Oct 2023 build here, took possession new this past week. BSM CSP performed Monday. Drove vehicle quite a bit Wed and Thurs. Today after a 15 min drive, the 4.2.1.1. update installed while vehicle was parked away from home. (Interestingly Automatic Updates and WiFi are both turned off.)
Hoping...
Tried when I woke up an hour agoā¦ site unavailable due to surging demand. Made coffee. Sipped coffee. Clicked refresh a few times. No go. Spilled coffee. Glanced back at phone on counter while cleaning up coffee and saw the form loaded pre-filled. Yay. Confirmation for May.
This worked very...
Really glad I was following these forums. Had been bummed about missing the rebates when they moved to promotional APRs.... but was able to negotiate some off MSRP... then Ford announced $7500 XLT ER rebate in addition to $7500 EV credit. Took a little bit to convince the dealer to look at...
Over the weekend, my new EV was the first point of purchase credit my dealer processed. I got the Ford sellers report 30D document with my vehicle and deal's info on it, and the downpayment line on our sales agreement showed an extra $7500 over our downpayment check amount. What have others...
