Who here has taken delivery of a Lightning and had NO issues with it?

[oneparticularparrot]

I hate to start a thread but it seems that a ton of Lightning owners has some sort of issues like mechanical and electronic.

It might just be easier to make this thread so that everyone who's truck has run for weeks, months without any issues. From the looks of it, not many people will post a flawless experience.

Had since August
No issues - love it. Road tripped with it. Only quirk is trying to figure out how the charging settings and the departure times interact

Got my Lariat ER in early August, have over 6,800 miles now and no issues with other than reported above (app needs improvement and carplay connection is intermittent). Now to find some wood to knock on.

Picked up Lariat ER 7/30, no issues. I thought I had an issue (the CV ticking issue) but didn't, or if I do, they didn't think I did, which is fine. The windshield suddenly developed a crack in it, but I don't think that's an issue with the truck. I bought the windshield protection and I'm glad I did.

Had my Lariat ER since 7/11 and have 7,000 miles- during pick-up walkaround found the 12v battery door clips broken and the passenger running board delaminating. Both taken care under warranty. Love my truck!

I have so many clients and friends with Teslas that it’s become how I describe the Truck -“ imagine your Tesla, but with a poor phone app and poor UI but it has CarPlay “ . I’ve said this 100 times or more this month.

HAHA. I am going to start using that. I will probably add, to it...

" Imagine your Tesla, except with poor UI and phone app, but CarPlay and built like an F-150."

4500 miles, 4 months- no issues. Love this thing!

So this is an interesting point .. I’ve been a Ford guy for a number of years and all of my company’s trucks are Fords .

So I’m an f150 guy first and an ev driver second . We rented a number of model 3 and model y from Hertz at MCO during vacations to make sure I wanted to go electric before I ordered my lightning and the bull quality on those teslas is invariably terrible . Actually had wheel well trim fly off the model y in a parking garage to the point where I thought I had been in a car accident. Just terrible panel gaps and creaks in every one I rent .. that being said , I’ll be renting another one in January because a model 3 or y is still better than anything else Hertz rents.

This is exactly my thinking. I've owned many vehicles, and my F-150 was by far the best.

Nice license plate.

A few days ago my Lightning stopped charging. I have had my lightning for a little over a month with 700 miles on it.

I have taken it to a Dealer and they are still diagnosing the issue.

Otherwise love the Truck.

Almost 6 months and 8k miles. Perfect so far.

I spoke too soon. Truck died today, not even limp mode.

Oh sorry to hear -- my biggest worry posting in this thread was the inevitable jinx!

Do you know what happened?

I've heard of something similar and the 12v battery cable came loose. Let's hope it's something simple like that.

That’s what I was hoping for. 12v good and tight. I will update when I hear. I know we have a couple threads on here with similar issue.

15k miles, took delivery in June. Sunroof leaked (just got repaired and they said drain tube was kinked by fire wall). Coolant resovior was completely empty. Have the suspension clicks at low speeds. Still LOVE the truck.
