Sorry, I meant it didn’t connect until the engine was running

I didn’t think to check how long it stayed connected once engine was off. Might give it another test tomorrow to see how long it stays connected

Re-tested this morning and the car actually connected to my WiFi as soon as I opened the door (didn’t have to start engine as I previously thought)

It disconnected, according to router, within a minute of me re-locking the car

Pulled my car out this morning and was connected straight away, did a scan and no updates required.

Anyone know how much the 48v battery would cost, curious for when I’m done with the car and the warranty is out, incase any family want it

They cost thousands...However, they are built to last around 100,000 miles, so car life basically.

How does everyone’s gear change feel, I know my car has only 700 miles on it but 1st to 2nd feels like I am forcing it sometimes.

Mine changes nicely in all gears smooth but positive.

The rest of the gears are ok, I would say with a mechanical feel to them not the smoothest I have ever driven but ok, 1st to 2nd though as I said feels like I am forcing it in sometimes unless I take a little longer than normal where it goes in a little better. Hopefully gets better with miles.

A question regarding the Ford warranty. Its a 5 year warranty in Australia with unlimited mileage,

Is this due to market specific conditions in Australia where this is expected by the consumer as the "norm" ? It is a 3 year warranty in New Zealand. Would the extra sales generated offset the additional warranty claims if a 5 year warranty was introduced to the UK? As a newcomer to Ford (from Kia) a 5 year warranty would have tipped the balance in favour of the Puma over the Kia XCeed for me a lot quicker had it been offered. Going from a 7 year (with Kia) to a 3 year warranty took a lot of thinking about, were a 5 year warranty offered it would have made the decision much easier to make.

Apologies if Im wrong here, but I believe they also drive on the left side of the road in Australia. Does this mean that as cars come off the production line they could be destined for either the UK or Oz or NZ ? - if yes then in theory we in the UK can find some reassurance that Ford would have been happy to offer a 5 year warranty on our vehicle if it had ended up in Oz instead. Or, is extra time and attention given to the vehicles whilst in production that are destined for the Australian market given the extra length of warranty ?
