    Hi, I also have a AF SF90 and noticed the long parking mode is not in the setting as well. Just wondering if the long parking mode doesn’t exist for all AF SF90? By the way, any idea usually how long does it take for the car to be fully charged and the charger starts having only one blue light on? Thanks.

    I have a 23 SF90 AF and it does have a long term parking mode. Saw a post about this earlier and made sure my car did NOT have long term parking mode active.

    Hey guys thought I would share my recent experience with my bricked SF90 Spider. Some background: the car is a 2024 delivered new in late 2024. Driven 115 miles and 2 weeks I was driving with the top up, parked the car for 1 hour, then got back in the car and it gave a top error, "Roof Failure, Close Roof." And the beeping would not go away even while driving. Nothing would work, top up or top down.

    I got home and it was still beeping as the car was shut off and locked. I plugged it in, but I guess the car wasn't charging and the battery died. The dealership/tow was there the next day, but the car was completely bricked. Sadly, my blade key was inside the car in the trunk so only option was to order a new blade key.

    A few days later the dealership called and said there was an alternative way to give the batter enough juice to unlock the car, which was charging it through the cooling fan, but only an experienced service tech could complete this. Luckily it worked and car was moved to be towed.

    Thought I would share incase someone's blade key isn't easily accessible.

    So, the blade key is not built into the key fob?

    No it’s not. In my case I’ve been arguing with my dealer to get my blade key. They claim it was in the plastic bag along with books, etc., but it was already opened when the car was delivered. It’s been over 6 months with no resolution. Hope I don’t need it before a replacement is provided.

    It would have made sense to include it with the key FOB.

    I had same issue with my SF90, I could not find the blade key for a while. Then I got a quote for ordering from dealer, it was over $1k. I thought I heard the number wrong, more expensive than have locksmith come and cut a new spare (I was quoted $500). Some locksmith have key decoder tools that slides into your lock, decode the lock and cut a spare, even if all keys are missing. If you have key code, then it be even easier and cheaper, they can even cut remotely and deliver to you.

    In my case, I checked everywhere, then it turn out the blade key was on the keychain with other set of key fob, I am not sure how I missed that. I ended up not having to use lock smith or order a new blade key. I now put blade key on key chain with the keyfob, so it is always with me when I drive SF90.

    The newer square zippo lighter style Ferrari keyfob is quite nice, but not having the key intergrated with the key fob like F8 red key fob is a bit inconvenient.

    Did you buy used or new? I actually just found my SF90 Stradale key blade in my apt. I guess the dealership sold my coupe to a client without the this key?

    FWIW I was provided the key for both of the new cars I purchased from my dealer.
