I have noticed that if the charge handle is in the sun, while charging, the chargers (both tesla and level 2 from Ford) will cut the charge rate in half. I confirmed, with tesla people, this behavior. I live in TX and is it often very hot which compounds this behavior. The handles...
Tesla NACS, to Ford supplied NACS to CCS, to tesla originated CCS to NACS, to MY. It did charge the vehicle!
I am hesitant to install the FCSP not knowing whether the FCSP and the MY would be happy together through this CCS-NACS adapter. If anyone has actually done this I would love to hear it.
There is an option in the truck to use the last setting or auto. Before the update it ignored it, always set to cooling level 2. The service guy and i went through all the options in the truck for these settings. It basically ignored all the settings in the truck.
Since it finally got cold I found that when I turned on climate remotely it would turn the seats to cooling level 2. It would do this regardless of the remote start setup for the seats was on auto or off.
I updated the ford pass app to the latest before I called them.
I called Ford pass...
The truck is almost 2 years old.
Full range has always been 330 miles. Charging to 80% had been 263 +-
Now, I am guessing, some software update had changed the definition of max range. Charging to 80% is now about 235 or 295 for max range. .
Or, there are 10 battery modules which...
I don't need to modify anything. I have a tesla provided CCS to NACS adapter. It doesn't work on a pay for chargers like evgo. I imagine that is because evgo doesn't know how to talk tesla.
I would think that because the FCSP isn't a pay for communication, the connector/ adapter would work.
Do you know this for a fact? That it will charge a tesla. Have you experienced this yourself? Ford software, and claims that something will work, are highly doubtful.
I have the FCSP sitting un-installed because the tesla charger will charge the truck. I can't risk installing a charger...
Hold the two most outward buttons on you steering wheel for 10ish seconds. The panel will reset. This can be done at any time whether the truck is moving or not. The left one is the volume down button and the right side is the skip foreword button. I have attached an image.
Some recent update to the ford pass app has had the one time 'start' button and charge slider removed.
Has anyone else noticed this? I have an android phone.
The truck is in the shop waiting for A/C parts, so I can't tell if the in the truck charging page has changed.
The only good thing...
I am always connected wirelessly with AA. The audio stops, always, when the song changes.
There are times when it disconnects and it pops up the notification window. Of course, the AA screen disappears. Which means the audio and directions, if I am using maps, stop. This failure mode...
I have had issues with AA in which it will stop producing sound as well. For me it only occurs when the Spotify song changes. I don't know if I let it go, whether it would ever turn back on at the next song or not.
I used to reset the panel with the buttons on the steering wheel but there is...
Right?
The truck recognizes the key fob long before it recognizes the phone. If it can recognize its existence it could recognize its absence.
PAAK only works when the ford pass is open and in the foreground of my android. I can't understand why PAAK isn't a background process that would...
I have found that my Android auto, which works pretty good wirelessly, that occasionally the sound would stop playing after a song changes. (Ford pass people could care less about this behavior)
I used to reset the panel but I found that switching to the FM, then back to Android auto, the...
My experience is not as aggressive as yours.
I have noticed that when I have the seats set to max cooling (most of the time), the I use the app to start the climate, the seat cooling changs to level 2 from level 3. This happens constantly when enabling climate.
I have seen only once, that...
They have removed the option to set the schedule in the truck. It is only available, to me, via the app.
Yes, prior to some update, it was available in the truck. I checked before I posted to see if it was still there. It wasn't.
I 100% agree. The truck as a vehicle has been awesome. Software is not up to par.
I hate dragging our tesla into this discussion, but we have had none of these basic issues with the tesla.
The charging aspect REALLY needs work. It doesn't reliably follow schedule. If you 'start' from...
I have the charging scheduled to match the time the solar panels are generating.
The electric provider only give 60 % credit for the energy I generate so I try to use a much as a can charging.
I have found that if I plug in the previous day after my charge window, which ends at 6, the next...
