  1. 20k for Energi...where'd you get this from...I'm curious because that's amazing!
  2. Well, back to another disappointing two days of zero charge. I plugged in Thursday evening; checked the web site - says its not plugged in. Heard there was a glitch. Called Ford Friday; three people passed me around for almost an hour; no clue - said to call back - literally told me to call back! So today, I wake up - no charge. Read from one owner that you need to plug in, start up and turn off. Also theres a communication problem - this method worked, but had to set to Charge at 7am so I had a full charge for the day. Just plugged in - it's charging - site says not plugged in; cant sync for Value Charge either. This is getting ridiculous.
  3. What do you mean you have 12k on the covers? And, how can I buy one?
  4. Great insight, both of you...I think I should invest in the covers from ptjones - when installed do they leave a mark if removed?
  5. You shouldn't have to go out and check to see if it was charging, but I had to the first four or five times because the web site and app said it was - checked to confirm and it wasn't, so I kept checking. It seems to be working now; I had to plug in, defaulted to Value Charge, then unplug and turn off Value Charge; plug back in and Value Charge and that seemed to do the trick. Now it finally woke up and works on the first try. Just checked the battery, I can do 23 miles now - I was getting 20, 21, then 22!
  6. Thanks, good to know. I like the tint for looks but also, come summer, with all these windows its gonna get warm in there on the leather! Looking forward to seeing if my grilles shut!
  7. Hey, btw, I see you tinted your windows (correct?) what kind of tint did you do? Looks slick! :shift:
  8. Thanks Jus-A-Max... I guess I'll never know if they close when I'm driving...maybe someone in front of me can tell :hysterical: I'll have to try the backing out of the garage trick on a cold (55 degree) CA morning. You would think they'd post video on this; they do for other features. I'm going to read the link you sent, the interview; much appreciated!
  9. I got a 24 month lease with 15,000 miles per year for just over $300, this is with $7000 down - pretty high taxes here in CA; everyone gets a piece of the pie. I am happy with my deal though, and its with Ford credit. If the car changes much in two years, then I wont buy it - if things are going well, I'll keep it.
  10. So how does this work...the opening & closing of the grille shutters? I mean, is it a manual thing, an automatic thing? Thanks.
  11. Well, I was wrong, the clock WAS set for AM (currently PM), so it was on PM when it was AM during my frustration. Just plugged in for Value Charge, and it's CHARGING! AHHH! So, I went to the Value Charge area and clicked VIEW ALL - from there I hit Charge Now, and then Value Charge - back to the main page and updated. Now its plugged in "Waiting To Charge." Problem is, I've been here before. Do I risk waiting until midnight and see if it charges or do I just charge now?!?!? I think I will try ONE MORE TIME and see if it kicks in at midnight. Maybe I'll wait up, like a kid on Christmas. :rant2:
  12. "Wow, look at all that trunk space..." -Energi Driver ;) Great idea!!!
  13. Wish I had seen this early...I dropped a 1/2 gallon of chocolate milk (I'd been craving) when I got home from the store! :runaway:
  14. Mine says that too; however, there is a pre-set default Value Charge setting that is set from 12am-6am - the option to create more settings isn't available. I will check the clock in the car, but I am 99% certain it's set for the appropriate time, thanks for the idea. I didnt know there was an Energi only forum, thanks, I'll look for it!!!
  15. Day four, still no charge overnight. Contacted Ford again yesterday, still, no clue. Seriously, I love my car, but I am thinking less and less of Ford, again. How do you promote an app but give zero instructions or support? It's really pathetic. So in order for me to charge during non-peak, I have to plug in at midnight, manually. Fun! Posting a shot taken at about 6:46am today, notice the charge will be done at 11:14PM...that's insane!
  16. So frustrated with MyFord Mobile! I plug in my Energi and have it set to Value Setting, so it charges at midnight and is ready by 6am - at least thats what its suppose to do. Instead, for the past three days, it says its charging when I plug in, and it's not. After trying a few times, it says it will charge from 12am until finished. The last attempt said it will charge from 7am to 6am! How's that possible? Finally tried again, and it was set to charge at midnight, and never charged; I drive exactly 19.6 miles to work and had 4 miles of battery! I contacted Ford, they have no idea what to do, only suggested NOT to rely on the app to charge the Energi! Then why offer this? Anyone have any tips to master this? Thanks!
  17. Just purchased the new C-Max Energi! This is me, on the right...very happy! I'm guessing I'll spend much of tomorrow playing :) (First up, figure out how to program my charge during non-peak electric use hours :sos: )
