I don’t want any friction about my 10-year extended warranty that covers all the other electronics that I actually do care about.
Somebody mentioned a while back that the telemetry system does not have such capability. Can’t find the comment anymore since searching for « storage » or « hard drive » results in thousands of posts on this forum
Not how warranty works.
It was probably me who mentioned it, that's correct there is nowhere near that much storage anywhere (except if you have a stored trouble codes, those would be sent).Somebody mentioned a while back that the telemetry system does not have such capability.

Btw...
There is a small possibility that whoever was responsible for attaching your modem thought your car was a Bullitt and left it out!
I know this is an old thread, but do you know if there is a way for me to see my own data? Mine is at a dealership getting some work done and they put 20 miles on it and the app shows I went from 176 miles left to 134 miles left , which means they were getting on it. Mine is whippled.I just got off the phone with Ford. The paranoia is true. I was informed that they do indeed share data with insurance companies. She didnt understand my concern. She said most people want it so that they can get insurance discounts for safe driving. I calmly and politely explained that this is the GT500, A high performance, 760 horsepower sports car that nobody, and I mean nobody would want their data being shared with an insurance company. She opted me out of all the data sharing.
Next I asked about disabling the data link. She asked why I would want to do that. I told her that there is a publication out that states for me to call to accomplish this. I wish to accomplish this.
I was transfered to "in vehicle technology" and was informed that this cannot be done. It is integral to the car and it will always record and report data. I said I don't want my car to record and report data. He suggested I bring it into a dealership and see what the service department could do. I said, well how about I pull the 5 amp fuse that powers the TCU? "but sir... why would you want to do that" and "I cannot recommend you do that"
Folks, this is no bullshit. They are monitoring your driving, position, speeds, parameters, etc and if you have not opted out, they are collecting and sharing your data. If you opt out, they are not supposed to share the data, but mother (F'in) Ford will always be collecting and storing your data.
I will pull my fuse. I hope that someone will be able to verify that this damn snitch built into our cars is disabled by doing this. I really am offended by this.
This is a three step process.
First call (800) 392-3673. At the prompt say "Ford Pass". You will be connected to a Ford Pass representative.
Second, call the same number, At the prompt say "In vehicle technology team". The next prompts are 1 followed by 2.
Third, pull the damn fuse for the TCU
Step 2 isn't going to do you any good because they will not help you disable the data link. At the very least, you should accomplish a master reset to wipe any preferences that are in Ford Pass so that data isn't accidentally shared.

I don’t know if you can access that data, but the mileage and miles to E would be enough for me to call them out on it
Eh it was probably alot of idling time around the dealership. I don't think you can access any of this data.
I think they just recalibrated your miles to empty meter as even with a full tank, that’s way to high - especially for a whipple …
That is a possibility . I know my car , it has a boost bypass and it gets really good gas mileage unless you step on it. I just think 20 miles is excessive for a test drive . It went in to get the heated seats fixed , an oil change and to check the transmission . The service advisor said everything is done and waiting to check transmission . The other issues did not need a test drive.I think they just recalibrated your miles to empty meter as even with a full tank, that’s way to high - especially for a whipple …
Joking aside and although we can’t say for sure that they have / hadn’t had a bit of fun, could it have idled for a prolonged period ?
