My experience has been that if you think you might make it by slowing down, or might have to stop to fast charge if you speed up..... floor it and fast charge, because the odds are good you'll end up needing to charge either way. Also - unless your destination is home - that you're better off...

There will probably be a Ranger and Maverick eventually. Just be patient! Or park outside... My frustration with the size of the current F-150s is that they could be a lot smaller without losing anything at all. There is a lot of wasted space that seems like it's just there to make the truck...

I’ve gotten the PaaK update 22-PU0929-BLM-UP three times so far. Right now the truck wants to install it again. Whats up with this? Is it happening to everybody else too?

Considering that’s that the hotspot alone costs, fat chance. I think you’ve nailed the value though. I won’t pay for the current blue cruise or connected services at any price. But I’d not complain if they were a free add on to the hotspot.

This is terrible, but you’ll be happier if you don’t try to read any motive into it. You’ll just be reinforcing some preexisting bias and might not even be blaming the right stereotype. The person who did this is an asshole. That is all you really know about them. Assholes have been keying...

I find that when your phone disconnects from the system for whatever reason it will immediately default to whatever radio preset was most recently selected, no matter what.

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any way to delete presets. Also once you have one it is very difficult to get the system to stop defaulting to a radio station when you really want it to never play one ever. The best I've come up with so far is to swipe up on the tile every time it...

Per Chris' recommendation above I scheduled with Acton and they've offered to come pick the truck up and bring it back when they're done. So far so good! Re: Herb Chambers above; Back last September Herb Chambers Braintree called me and offered to sell me somebody else's custom order Lightning...

FM reception is fine in the Lightning with the stubby antenna. Haven't really tried AM. Just make sure you don't get one of the "billet" ones. Those won't work for anything but decoration. You want the antenna to be about the same length as the original, but coiled up short instead of stretched...

I've bought parts there before for my old truck. They're not the closest dealer to me, but other than that my only hesitation was I wanted to know somebody had a good EV experience somewhere first before I took the truck there.

I'm due for my 10k mile service. I also have the step delamination issue on both sides of my Lariat. I'm trying to figure out who I should bring it to. I'm in MA around 495/Rte2. If anybody has any EV service experiences, positive or negative from any of the local dealerships I'd love to hear...

Doesn't apply in this case because it ships from Arizona, but be careful buying Ford emblems on eBay. I bought one that shipped from Ukraine. CBP flagged it as counterfeit and I lost my Global Entry.

Us solftware folks call this "canary deployment." You're the canary. If we "kill off" some early customers we know to roll the change back before it happens to all of you. Do yourself a favor and turn off your auto-updates. Wait until you hear something good about one before you install it...

More Lightnings on the road means more aftermarket support, means more options for repairs and upgrades down the road, means better longevity of your truck! Everything is coming up Maxx!

Fatal accidents are absolutely NOT an expected and acceptable part of the development of new technology. Experimenting on the general public is extremely unethical. At least you, as a user of the system, opted in. The trucker the OP almost killed didn’t. We don’t have to ban this technology to...

I don't think that average speed can be interpolated to performance at a particular speed. My experience has been that the difference between 75 and 85 MPH is associated with a 25-30% drop in range. Also your rate of acceleration at any point has a bigger effect than even that. One pedal-mash to...

Since there's any question at all, it's really not worth it. The cord is the vast majority of the cost of the charger. An 80A capable extension will cost you many hundreds of dollars. At which point you may as well just get another charging station for a little bit more.

Are you a car salesman or something? Dealers should have to compete with every dealer in a 500 mile radius on price and service. If they believe that dealerships provide value over letting manufacturers sell directly then they need to put their money where their mouths are. (Frequently on their...

For context, I can see the Burlington one out my office window at work, and it was recently literally on fire. Though I believe a driver was at fault, not EA. Also the power can't stay on in the city of Burlington for more than 36 consecutive hours. Which is also not EA's fault.

...can't tell if sarcastic...
