Is there any thing to pay attention to for parking such as conditioning etc.. Dont want a Tesla experience. I am leaving mine for 4 days in Minneapolis.
I am sure this has been asked a 100 times already but is there any data on efficiency gains with a cover vs not. My truck is leased and I got the bed sprayed but debating on the cover.
Love my platinum Lightning and as a ex GMC loyalist would never change back . But an extra 100 miles or so would be game changing for my use case and many others for occasional short trips. Charging stations suck for many reasons. I could handle it once a year for trips that have good choices...
I will try to be politically neutral.
I have observed that the frustration with current electrification strategy which I would agree is not realistic has resulted in EV's being targeted as the blame. Its that simple. As usual we in the US cant find the middle ground of a sensible blended...
it is a great chart. People from Wisconsin can understand my comment. A few years ago my car said minus 32. I wonder if the lightning has ever been tested that low and is there a hardline on temperature. Best practice or voiding the warranty😎
Thank you all for your feedback. Very much appreciate.
Question. I am going to be in Florida for almost two months🏝️
what is the best approach or strategy for leaving truck? Garage stored and plugged in.
I have owned my 2023 Platinum since September. 3000 miles on it with no issues. Yesterday it was 1 below Zero and needed to make a trip approximately 50 miles each way. I am still learning real ranges but have realistic expectations of the impact from high speed, temperature, towing etc.. I...
If I am tracking right, mine was out of sync for several weeks and did eventually sync up. They say at Ford to leave the truck off charge to sync at 1 to 4 am but I believed my synced up around that. If it is working properly give it time.
I agree with most of the comments above. It does not have to win lose or all or nothing. Look what EV technology is beging to do for Hybrid design. There is room for all and at the end of the day EV's help supply and demand for ICE cars. I have to say it. As usual the objectives from a timeline...
I just got a replacement charger because my original charger was causing the truck to give a flashing amber light when attempting to charge. I got nowhere with Ford in that it was just a coincident the same day as a firm where update so they sent me a new unit that I stalled this week...
The lights on the station are the normal Bright Blue until I plug it into the truck. Then it goes immediately to an amberish , 30 seconds goes by and the truck blinks amber. 30 seconds later it must disconnect and the station goes back to Blue. I did try dialing the amperage down. No impact.
To...
Nicholas,
Thank you for sharing the information and congratulations to your family for daughters accomplishments. If I was tracking the costs it seems to be consistent with a trend I am seeing. At a high level your out of pocket is about 1/3 the cost of a gas f150. Of course MPG and cost of a...
I have had my 2023 Platinum Lightning for 6 weeks and had my procharger installed several weeks ago with a 100 amp circuit breaker by a electrician. It has worked great for several weeks until a few nights ago when it stopped charging with flashing amber lights on the truck. It appears based it...
