I’m not an engineer so you may have a point there. But I do know the truck “knows” and tells you on the dash when the door/frunk/tailgate/charge port door is open and it “knows” if the doors are locked or not. The windows I’m not so sure about, but would be amazing if the truck had awareness...
Out of curiosity, if you’re in a low garage and the frunk starts opening I assume it will just hit the roof. I wonder if there’s a quick kill method to stop the frunk mid flight?
Ford can we please add the following to vehicle status: locked or unlocked, any windows/sunroof open, frunk or tailgate open, door open. I have all this on my Toyota Highlander app.
I wish we had a say in which features to drop and which to keep. Pipe dream I know. But buyers might gladly do without say, an automatic tailgate if it meant keeping dual onboard charging for future buyers. Idk.
I think this sums up the issue well. I have avoided the home integration system and will continue to do so until another solution arrives. CA is already getting ready to mandate EVs are bidirectional so it seems inevitable that other hardware solutions have to be on the horizon. But it’s...
Here’s another YouTuber who has made a number of videos on it. I think she’s on this forum from time to time as well. If you go to the 5 minute point in this video she’s describing her own latest woes with the system and how it relies on Bluetooth communication to function.
This X thread is like a whose on first skit. I haven’t tested it but I’d wager a bet that any 80amp charger will work with a 2022 or 2023 Lightning OR with a 2024 that added the dual onboard charger from the factory. If they didn’t add the dual onboard charger from the factory then it will stop...
With the duration of time that elapsed I would have assumed this truck would fall into lemon law status and result in a Ford buy back. Depending on your state laws I would consider looking into this. However, this experience also shows (again and again in my opinion) that Ford really needs...
I agree that the portable solar generator with panels from Anker or Ecoflow is probably better. A bit more expensive still but would provide a little more power for truly off grid vehicle charging. In 2-3 days of sunlight you could probably charge the Lightning 50% or more.
Apologies if this was already discussed here. I searched the forum and didn’t see anything. Does anyone know more about this product? It’s the equivalent of a level 1 charger but directly from solar panels you carry atop the vehicle. Obviously the Lightning could carry this easily...
From just the title I thought for a second that you somehow rigged this up so that pressing the unlock button on your fob then unlocked the spare tire lock. Lol. But I see this is a key cylinder mating to the main key. I think when I bought my 2023 the dealer gave me the cylinder lock foe the...
Thanks I’ll send feedback via Sync again. I wonder if there is another channel to send this specific kind of post update feedback directly to Ford BEV but unsure.
Well it happened again today after another overnight update. Front motor not operating and 56% power. The update this time was 24-PU0105-CMR-FX. I was plugged into level 1 same as before during the update but I did not have a predeparture set this time. I was running late for work so I had to...
Luckily the ride home from work yesterday was fine and today it also seems fine. So hopefully that was just the same temporary software glitch that others have experienced.
