Appreciate the reply - wish I would’ve done that with the electrician. Unfortunately the nearest level 3 charger is 20+ miles, I actually am about 45 miles west of Minneapolis in a small town.Sunrun has been terrible in some markets, just search "sunrun" in the forum.
When the electrician was getting antsy, you should have had him install the wiring and put in a 240v plug. That way you can buy a portable unit like the Ford power cord or any of the 100s of options on the market. Charging on 110v is a last resort.
Since you "can't go anywhere", have a look around for chargers in your area, the more you look, the more you'll find. Level 3 chargers will get you up and running in no time.
Thanks for the response - jealous of your experience! I think you’re right. Not sure what to do about the dealer.I picked up my truck on 2/13, got an email from Sunrun on 2/15 to verify my address, and charger was at my front door on 2/21. It seemed Sunrun had this figured out. I really think the biggest thing is having the dealer do the transaction to make sure it's sold in the system. Seems like the dealer doesn't want to play nice.
I have a dryer on 240V yes, but no way to use 240 to charge my truck, unfortunately.I was asking the OP. Where there's a will there's a way to safely get better charging while they wait for their FCSP. A dryer plug would be a good start.
Appreciate your input!I could be wrong but I think a lot of folks are thinking that they need to use/install the 80 amp fast charger that is supposed to be delivered to the owner after purchase by Sunrun when perhaps they may not. At least that was the case with my 2022 Lariat ER. (2023 owners have to pay for the chargers?). It came immediately from the factory with the 32 amp "portable" charger. After a lot of research I decided that for my needs I could make do with the 32 amp portable charger. I had my electrician install a 50amp breaker & 14-50 Nema 240v outlet in my garage. I sold the 80amp Fast Charger on Ebay when it arrived from Sunrun which paid for most of my 240v install. I charge from 40% to 85% from 10pm to 6am (off-peak rates with my electric provider) with no problem. You can find the 32amp portable chargers on Ebay for a very reasonable price if one did not come with your truck. Just wanted to share my personal experience for what it is worth. Would welcome any feedback/opinions! Thanks, Walt
Why would I keep quiet? I spoke to a lawyer briefly and they said I should shout from the rooftops. It's 20K out of the dealer's pocket for doing something illegal. They sold a customer a "dangerous" vehicle and didn't say anything about it.The fire recall applied to 18 trucks. There are other recalls, including the wiper motor recall mentioned.
That fine is designed to protect you as a consumer. I’d keep quiet or they may take the truck back. 😬
Here’s the recalls22C15 is a safety recall. You might not get a low pressure warning on the gauge screen. It is supposed to be fixed by an OTA update or at the dealership. It seems really strange this made it through the dealer's processes. The recall was issued in July.
I couldn't find anything about 22S45. Typo maybe?
he charger at 48 Amps, should h
I don't have my charger - and the dealer is aware they made a mistake selling me the truck with an open safety recall. They are calling it a "whoops" but it is certainly punishable by law. I also had to pay an electrician extra $ just to come put in a 240V so I can make it to work and back on a daily basis.There's only one recall. The second tracking number is for Canada. Your screenshot is showing the recall has been completed. You might still have the wiper motor recall. You would have received a letter from Ford if that one affects your truck.
Have you still not received your charger? If not, your dealer is your best resource based on my experience. They might actually be able to find someone who can do something about it.
Appreciate your reply. If I’d known it was being sold with an open recall and would delay me getting a charger for 3+ months, I may have made a different choice. Unfortunately I didn’t even get the chance to make that decision (because they didn’t inform me of the recall).If I were I your shoes I’d be happy to have the truck. We’re not talking about some kind of hidden danger here. If your wipers stop working while it’s raining, pull over. You’ll be fine.
Invest your time and energy as you see fit. Threatening to sue your dealer over a wiper motor recall is not a choice I would make.
