Anecdotal, but I drive a 2023 - Ford’s word is that this is “fixed” in 2023 models and later (the “2023.5” is shipping now) but unclear if that’s a software or hardware fix. Almost 10k miles in with no issues thus far. From my understanding, the issue is most common in the GT and GT Performance trims when maxing out the power - which tracks with the on-ramp story in the OP. MachEForum has a great tracker on where (since EV power is definitely temperature related), what trims, and what model years this is occurring on.
It’s a hardware fix. They have a redesigned HVBJB that they install into older cars that run into the issue. Newer cars were built with the updated part.
The only “software fixes” for the issue was logic to preemptively detect an impending failure so people wouldn’t get caught on the side of the road.
Misleading headline? It costs $10k only compared to hundreds of thousands with other franchises. CFA covers all initial costs and simply takes much more in profit sharing than others.
I feel like this isn't too unlike the old Xserve's that could get up to a price this high. They're machines with a very, very limited use case, and budgets to match.
Does this offer integration with something like Harvest? I'm so integrated with their system now that automating time tracking to their service would be absolutely fantastic.
Thanks for the advice Stephen, I'll definitely remember that in the future.
I agree that one of the best ways to meet a goal (and one that has worked for me in the past) is to write down goals and cross them off as they are completed. For some reason, this boosts my productivity like crazy.
