  1. EDITED: Planning to purchase OBDLink CX so I can use A Better Route Planner (ABRP) via CarPlay and get vehicle data

    I don’t think the MX works with ABRP. You need a BLE-compatible reader like the OBDlink CX. I have the OBDlink CX and it works great with ABRP and CarScanner on my Android phone. I originally tried the Veepeak OBDcheck and Vgate Vlinker BLE OBD readers. The Veepeak would not link with ABRP...
  2. I know light bulb truck nutz have been done already, but I put my own spin on it.

    You'd probably need to splice into one of the running light wires in order to avoid deactivation of the reverse safety systems.
  3. Area 51 Color Spotted! Likely For 2023 F-150 Lightning

    I think this is actually azure gray metallic.
  4. 2023 Lightning New Colors: Avalanche Gray and Azure Gray Metallic (*Area 51)

    Isn’t azure gray metallic just the sparkly version of Area 51? Kind of like carbonized gray vs carbonized gray metallic?
  5. First DC charging on the Lightning - with drop-off @ 80%!

    I've been getting up to 168 kW on the Signet EA chargers. I don't know what the pack voltage was at that point, but I suspect I was getting pretty close to the 500 amp CCS1 limit. Peak voltage is not going to get better on this generation given the limits of a 400 v system and CCS1 amperage...
  6. First crashed INTO Lightning?

    It's only $17,500 now!
  7. Alex on Autos - Lightning is delayed - after June build date - ADM being withdrawn by dealer

    That was a drop-ship agreement between their local CO dealer and the MI dealer. I don't think Ford corporate had a role in the arrangement. But you're right-even though drop ships aren't uncommon for ordered vehicles, I don't think a normal person would have been able to work out that...
  8. Alex on Autos - Lightning is delayed - after June build date - ADM being withdrawn by dealer

    I'm actually glad that they aren't prioritizing YT influencers over regular customers for retail units. The dealer claimed innocence regarding the $10K markup, but I remain skeptical.
  9. How long do you plan on keeping your Lightning?

    I'm also intrigued by the Ram plug-in hybrid, but it may be hard to go back to gas at that point. I'm also very skeptical that they'll ever be able to produce anything interesting that's not powered by a Hellcat engine.
  10. 🙋‍♂️ What Did You Do To Your Lightning Today?

    I think I'll have this install when my partner is out of town to avoid a freak-out about taking apart our new truck.
  11. How long do you plan on keeping your Lightning?

    Whenever Ford or a competitor can sell me a 400 mile truck with an CCS-capable 600-800 volt charging system.
  12. 🙋‍♂️ What Did You Do To Your Lightning Today?

    Did you have to remove the whole grill or light bar, or does the emblem just pop off?
  13. TFL made it to Fairbanks

    I don't think they've said whether they actually had to use the powerboost, unless I missed some content.
  14. First time towing with the Lightning Pro!

    Well done. The only thing missing is the random ALL CAPS words.
  15. I know light bulb truck nutz have been done already, but I put my own spin on it.

    I soldered it myself. Bulb socket 4 pin harness Bulbs Plus some shrink tube wrap to give it a more finished look. I used red gel film to change the bulb color.
  16. TFL made it to Fairbanks

    Or use a 20 kWh Ecoflow Delta Pro setup. Would have eaten up about 400 pounds of payload and a good amount of space, though.
  17. Lightning shipped back to the factory?

    Spoiler: It’s not worth the click. Nor is anything else from that website.
  18. Lightning range fail

    It's also important to fill it with premium electrons--the electrons from the regular pump can gunk things up.
