Re: Forum usage

I don't think that the forum software helps. Being unable to 'like" posts can tend to make it feel like you're either being ignored, or your post wasn't interesting enough With people having to actually make a physical reply to acknowledge that they've seen your own post then it's a barrier to ...

Re: Ford Pass App messages

I get the remote features thing all the time .Also get the "deep sleep" thing .The battery is permanently trickle charged so is always at 100% charge.

I just came to the conclusion that either the app, or the way that car is reporting its charge level, is crap and stopped worrying about it

Re: What changes would you like to see in the β€œNew” Puma?

The dial portion of the speedometer seems utterly useless as it's completely unreadable, at least to me.
