  1. Dreaded Service Vehicle Soon Error

    Keep meaning to circle back here.... I got my truck back on the 17th. After it sat at the dealer with nothing happening for weeks, and after getting a new specialist assigned because the first one went on leave, it finally got escalated to Ford for repair. From what I'm told, what they did...
  2. Ford Resumes Shipping NACS Charging Adapters (February 2025 batch)

    Got a shipping notice for mine a week ago, and it arrived today. Order # 35271. Sadly my truck is in its fourth week at the dealer with a bad battery and I'm wondering if I'll ever even get to try it. :(
  3. Looks like your F150 Lightning battery might last a long time

    Low degradation is all well and good, but what about catastrophic failure rates? And averages are great for fleets, but if you're an individual you don't own a fleet. You can't amortize failure costs out across dozens of vehicles. If you draw the short straw, your battery failure means a...
  4. Dreaded Service Vehicle Soon Error

    :( Mine's already back in the shop. I took it on one trip - a ~220 mile trip that I've made 30+ times without issue, and I had to charge 30 miles from home. Then after charging at home, on Sunday I drove a mile before getting the High Voltage Battery Warning / Pull over now message and had to...
  5. Dreaded Service Vehicle Soon Error

    I'll send you who in a DM, but I don't want to throw them under the bus. They're still the best option around here.
  6. Dreaded Service Vehicle Soon Error

    I got my truck back this morning. The notes say that Module #8 was replaced. I lost the service counter lottery and got the prickly guy instead of one of the other - nicer - people that I had previously been talking to, so I got terse partial answers to my questions. For example he couldn't be...
  7. Dreaded Service Vehicle Soon Error

    Friday is here... I heard Wednesday that the part wouldn't be in until today, so I likely wouldn't have my truck back until Monday. Today the word is part Wednesday, maybe.... The dealer is being extremely pleasant and nice about it... but they don't have a loaner for me to drive, and...
  8. Dreaded Service Vehicle Soon Error

    My dealer says that I do, in fact, need a module replaced. They also said it should be done Friday. 🤞
  9. Dreaded Service Vehicle Soon Error

    Good luck with yours as well! Hopefully the parts are flowing faster these days...
  10. Dreaded Service Vehicle Soon Error

    Yes. When the error first came up it didn't show reduced power (or I didn't notice?), but after a few miles it dropped down to 59%, and then on the way to the dealer 56%. I had the power reduction issue happen once during the summer at full charge, but without the error message and the...
  11. Dreaded Service Vehicle Soon Error

    This week was my week for this issue as well. Had the truck in for 30k service and tires last Monday. When I got it back my range was low, but I never trust the estimated range anymore anyway... Thursday I drove it 180 miles. I told it to charge to 100%, and had set a departure time. When the...
  12. Disabling Vehicle Connectivity removes functionality

    It shouldn't have to be like that. However factual discussion of the issue is apparently too political for this forum, so I'm out.
  13. Disabling Vehicle Connectivity removes functionality

    This really is about the definition of "share." Providing a datapoint to enable a function is a completely different proposition to providing a datapoint that the recipient gets to keep, sell, or build into a product they own after they're done providing the function you wanted. You should, and...
  14. US Plans Push To Upgrade Fast Chargers

    My personal experience is the EA stations are the ones you look for. First of all they work with BlueOval plug-and-charge, which has been 1000% rock-solid in my experience. Plus they have a higher ceiling. Yeah you might only get a fraction of the rated charging rate. But if you go to the...
  15. Battery structure design, debris and future rust

    I'm adding you to my short list of people I'd be happy to purchase a used vehicle from. One of the reasons I picked the Lightning over the Rivian was that at the expected production volumes I think that we will have good aftermarket part support. I'm envisioning this tray as a Dorman part...
  16. Disabling Vehicle Connectivity removes functionality

    There are no features in FordPass that require Ford to keep a history of users' location data. There are no features in FordPass that require Ford to sell the data either. I needs to be illegal to tie the permission to sell your personal data with unrelated features. It should be illegal to...
  17. F150 Lightning as an Urban Assault Vehicle

    I'd like to add that I've never had a situation where I couldn't see a car AND the blindspot light wasn't on. But my brain just doesn't process that little yellow light as fast as it does seeing a car in the mirror.
  18. F150 Lightning as an Urban Assault Vehicle

    I find that I need to move the mirror farther out than typical to have any chance to see, and the cutout at the bottom of the mirror results in small cars close to the truck being invisible - not visible in your rear view, and haven't moved into your side field of view yet. If you pull the...
  19. US Plans Push To Upgrade Fast Chargers

    Having to sign into the app a second time or move over one stall should be considered success though. Have you never had to re-swipe your card at a gas station? And everything gets flakier once you involve some stupid app designed to track you first and provide the service you want second. I had...
  20. US Plans Push To Upgrade Fast Chargers

    I'm not sure we're actually disagreeing. My assertion is that for the statistic to be that bad you have to apply qualifiers like "on the first try" or "at maximum speed". I think that the level of urgency is a lot different if you fail to get home because you can't charge at all one in five...
