r/FordExplorerEV

So, three weeks in, and there have been some issues,

none of which have kept it off the road but they are irritating:

Power tailgate - fails about 50% of the time to open from the button on the tailgate - it tries, gets about 5mm open and then flops back, same with the switch on the drivers door, seems to be much more reliable from the key fob, probably going to book this in as a fault.

Infotainment - continually forgets the sound settings - both bass/treble and "focus", not a big deal but after the last car that had Bose this one needs all the help it can get.

Bluetooth - had to do the soft reset as BT said it couldnt activate, which worked but its still very irritating after the last three cars worked flawlessly.

Windows - front drivers side constantly anti-traps, the app also says windows open when they clearly arent - theres some kid of detection fault here i reckon, was giving this one the benefit of the doubt for now in our very hot weather through drying new seals out.

I like the massage seat though, thats lovely, and when you step on the go pedal she really moves.

Size sufficient for 4 Persons and a dog

Hi,
I am considering to buy a ford explorer ev. We were test driving today and I thing it is ok, the climate did not work because a technical operator made a mistake and I had the impression that the brakes made a noise when touched slightly. Hope this is not always bad sign for the overall quality.

However, we have two larger kids and a mid sized dog and I am now struggling with the decision to buy the car because it looks like the storage is maybe too small.

Maybe someone from this community could tell a bit of the daily experience and solutions.

Thanks 😃
