6.14 is downloading. Some decent notes.

Just a wild crazy thought I had in my head. Wondering if there is anything that might put stress on or change on the battery usage that might get the voltage out of whack and cause a need for a battery module replacement. Does voltage even work this way? I have no idea. Did you or had you...

Nope - sorry, not on the Lightning yet, but this is what we like to see coming. Just installed on a Mach-E today. Updates to improve SW install AND remote start now remembers and uses the most recent driving profile so that your truck doesn't remote start into the Guest profile. FORD is...

I'm making some assumptions, but I figure our headlights in the Lightning are very similar to the Tesla (or any) Matrix headlights. Tesla is about to release SW that will enable the full use of the matrix headlights on all of US cars that have the hardware (the equivalent of the Glare Free in...

Surprised these haven't been shown yet. Lifted from FB, Christopher Bowe posted them. Screen shots from a Flash at a dealer. Pro Power On board - switch to leave on while truck is off and some nice updates to the charging screen. It doesn't indicate we can control the charging amps, but...

Gaining access to the Superchargers and commitment to move to NACS I also predict Ford will move the charging port to the back drivers side. I'm kind of surprised they didn't make that move for the '24's, but I guess they will save it and do it all at once. If they don't for the Lightning I...

I'm ready to embark getting set up to use the truck for power backup to the house. With no good option for a whole panel neutral switch I'm going with the panel lockout and a generator plug. Two questions I'm looking for some feedback / insight on. A note - my electrical panel is on the wall...

I'm surprised someone hasn't been here to throw Tesla under the bus again about another "recall" - so here it is https://www.fastcompany.com/91022964/teslas-cars-just-got-recalled-over-a-font Recalling most all Teslas on the road due the font size of warnings displayed on the screen...

With the Tesla charger access coming soon, I'm curious to know from the users of the Blue Oval charging network, what your experience is like today. I know that if you have a failure or it doesn't pay correctly or start the charger it may not be Ford's fault, it could be a charger fault, but...

@TaxmanHog - @Administrator - I think I just saw this here and on the Mach E forum. Received an alert for a thread that says a thread was created 7 minutes ago. The thread shows it was created over a day ago. Maybe a small fluke?

Has anyone powered their pool pump from the truck? I'm evaluating the circuits I would need in a sub or generator panel. I don't know that I can make it work with the generator panel. The pool is likely the only 240 device in the house I'd want powered. I know the 5 ton AC unit is out, I...

While there is much to be interested in with the Cybertruck - Kyle confirms what I suspected from Tesla. 15 speakers, 2 sub woofers. Just from a few minutes of listening, he declares it to be one of the best factory stereo's he has heard. He notes and mentions most every high end vehicle and...

I used Informed Delivery from the USPS - so in this mornings email I have a "Safety Recall" from Ford that will be delivered today. Did anyone else get this in the last few days of mail delivery? Do we have another recall or is this an update on maybe the BECM SW update? That was supposed...

Sometime in the last 4 to 6 weeks I've lost all monitoring and access to charing information from my iPhone app. I wasn't sure where to start to fix it, but I likely started at the wrong place. I deleted the app and reinstalled it. I still have no charging information, but now I've also...

I just noticed that on the 6.13 release it is no longer labeled Power-Up, indeed simply noted as a "Software Update". Confirmed in that thread that indeed some changes are coming to at least the naming. It also has a number with two decimals in it - so a Major Release number, a version in that...

@rugedraw was checking some things tonight and saw I had a SW download. It does look like it has failed install, but indeed 6.4 has downloaded to my truck. Hoping for an install tomorrow, if it will retry. There is a message at the top of it that says "Ford will make a new update available...

This is laughable. Ford dealers say they don't trust Ford. Just like so many buyers don't trust the dealers - just tired of getting screwed and lousy excuses for service and stupid lies and deals. https://www.yahoo.com/autos/ford-dealers-dont-trust-ford-194949706.html

This is how Tesla will continue to win and rule the charging world, whether it is their name on the front of the stall or not. $100 M worth, rebranded to BP, but Tesla under the covers. These will include MagicDock. https://electrek.co/2023/10/26/tesla-selling-superchargers-bp/?mibextid=Zxz2cZ

I haven't gone Googling to see what else is known, but a user on the sister sight has found and posted information about the next version of Sync which the Lightning was supposed to have had a year ago. https://www.f150gen14.com/forum/threads/sync-5-codename-phoenix.20079/post-388203

I had my light bar replaced today on the tailgate. I got some pictures and an interesting observation or two about the tailgate. First - a picture from the inside with the work surface removed (Blue tailgate)- the motor and control module are on the passenger side. All of the cutouts look...
