Yes, you are definitely right about losing some range when running the AC. It makes a big difference. It has been close to 80 degrees here and I am not going to suffer in a pretty car for a few additional mpg's. Unrelated to the above, I noticed I had 25 miles available for EV this morning. Is anyone else seeing that? When Mr Electric finished the install of my charger he mentioned I had 125 volts (I think he said volts) on two poles, or 250 volts available for charging. He did not know why that was but said it was unusual for our area and that it might be due to my having solar power. Does that make sense? Could that be why I had 25 EV miles showing?

Yes, I have been having that problem off and on too, for a couple of days now. I had to reboot a few minutes ago.

My problem is I was way to far out in front on this car. When I ordered the car the order bank had only been open a day or two and hardly any dealers even knew there was a order sheet for the Ti Energi...much less incentives. So when I made my deal they were acting like I was buy a Mustang and were very proud of the Energi. Certainly, no incentives were written into my order because there were none. And so it went on throughout the process of waiting, with my salesman being noncommittal about any incentives; saying he wasn't sure I could get them because I did not buy a car from stock and that is the verbiage on all of the coupons and incentives. I finally forced him into a corner two days before I took delivery and he finally assured me I would get any incentives that were still in force for the Energi. Unfortunately the $750 coupon that I had expired. This is the very first car I ever ordered from scratch and the only Ford I have ever owned. So I must say I was not very informed about the process at the start. I learned a great deal, albeit too late, by being on this forum and those who are just joining this forum have a whole plethora of information that was not available to me when I ordered my car. I would certainly do many things differently, if I could start over.

Yes, they ran a Vincent on my car too but the $750 was not there. BTW I posted an album in the Gallery of my charger install and few pictures of my car just after the window tint was installed.

The dealer swore there is no way to lock in a coupon even though I showed them posts, that I copied from here, where others were saying their dealers were locking in the incentive. Regardless, they would not honor the coupon. They gave me that song and dance about retail orders too until I pointed out to them that my name was never on the their order. That stopped that nonsense.

Fantastic news, rprobst! Congrats. Let me know whether or not your dealer will honor your $750 incentive coupon. Mine would not, because all the $750 (had 3) expired 3/4/13. They finally reduced the price of the car by $375, because I threatened to walk away from the car, and told me to call Ford for the money. It was their contention that once the coupon expired Ford would not reimburse them. I was thoroughly pissed and do intend to call Ford. It wasn't my fault the car didn't get to me before 3/4/13 and I was actually shocked that the coupon expired because I had it in my mind that they were good until 4/1/13.

Yeah that's it. I finally found the instructions on the very last page of the quick reference book that came with the car but not in the owner's manual. Set the lighting last night.
