  1. Remote start results in charging to 100%?

    I don't use the remote start feature often so I don't know if this has been this way for a while, but it seems like incorrect behavior to me. I have my charging set to charge to 80%. This has been working fine for me for many months. My truck was plugged in last night and correctly charged to...
  2. Venting heat through moonroof

    I've owned several vehicles with moonroofs. All of them, including my 2011 F-150, would allow me to slightly open the roof and close the shade except for the last inch or so. When parked on a hot day, this allowed some of the heat buildup to vent out the roof while keeping the interior mostly...
  3. Turn off proximity sensing for PAAK?

    I've tried using Phone As A Key and liked all the features except one. I ended up disabling it due to this. Wondering if anyone knows if you can disable proximity sensing with PAAK. I spend a lot of time outside on my property, doing yardwork, landscaping, and other projects. I usually have my...
  4. The challenge of EV charger infrastructure build out

    As I was driving through Portsmouth NH a few evenings ago, the immensity of the EV charger infrastructure build out struck me. Every quarter mile, I passed a gas plaza with typically 8-12 pumps. Most were at greater than 50% utilization, with the typical stop being 10 minutes or less. That's a...
  5. Spill in cup holder

    I had a passenger who spilt a cup of coffee into the front cup holders. Before we could grab tissues to soak it up, a significant amount drained down the hole under the rearmost cup holder. You know, the one where you also program another key fob if desired. Anyone know what's under there (other...
  6. Dealing with ice

    Starting my first winter with my Lightning, I'm wondering about tips and tricks from those who've already been through a season. This morning I encountered two issues that I suspect will be common during the winter. We've been in a weather pattern of about freezing temps during the days and low...
  7. Buzze app

    At first blush, this seems like a winner to me. If I can find an available charger within walking distance of where I'm staying or spending several hours, I'd use this. Better than arriving at a hotel and finding the one charger already taken for the night. I'd also make mine available with a...
  8. Simple example of how temperature and heat usage affects range

    Yesterday I went into our local town about 8 miles away to run some errands. When I left, with no preconditioning, the temps were in the high 30's. We had the heat on, set to 70, both seat heaters set to max, fan on 3 bars, and the radio on. Upon arrival, this is what the trip report showed...
  9. Assembly line email and picture.

    I haven't heard about this happening in a while. But I just got this email last night...for a truck I took delivery on July 11th! Clearly Ford still hasn't figured this out. Perhaps this explains why I haven't received any OTA updates. Ford thinks I don't have it yet :rolleyes:
  10. Correct process to charge Low Voltage Battery (LVB) to 100%

    There are several threads where the procedure to charge the LVB to 100% to try and enable Over The Air (OTA) updates has been covered. But they are often buried in responses to other topics, and sometimes it seems the recommended steps conflict with other posts. It would be appreciated if...
  11. FordPass and Ford website appear to use different data source

    Logged into my Ford account online this AM to check something and was surprised to see this since I usually only charge to 80% and that is what it did last time I charged. Then looked at FordPass and get this. So it appears that either the two use different data sources or use different...
  12. Why would I need a mobile charger?

    Since getting my Lightning, I've been debating whether I need a mobile charger or not. Ninety-eight+ percent of my charging will be done with the charger mounted in my garage. While I haven't done one yet, I would expect that during any long-distance trips I'd use public, fast chargers along the...
  13. NH EV fee

    New Hampshire is touted as an income tax free state. But boy do we have fees and other taxes...
  14. Full Truck Cover recommendations?

    My truck will be parked outside much of the time, often in an area with lots of oak trees, and therefore acorns. I'm looking for a truck cover that would help protect it from the little hand grenades. Any recommendations on type/vendor? Thanks
  15. Lucky

    Lucky to have a son who knows how to do professional-level ceramic coating and was willing to do mine! :)
  16. Apparently Ford is not the first one with an electric Lightning

  17. Check the wiper drain holes.

    This is probably a corner case for those of us who live off the beaten path or perhaps for those who go off-roading. This morning I got in my truck after a heavy downpour. Noticed that there was a deep pool of water around the wiper bases. My first thought was that it was a very poor design as...
  18. Timeline of price increases/decreases?

    Before I start looking into this myself, has anyone assembled a concise timeline of the Lightning prices over the course of the past 2 years?
  19. Locking remote in the truck

    My 2011 F-150 had a pillar keypad that could be used to unlock and enter the truck. I often used this feature to lock the keys and the truck when it was inconvenient or more risky to carry them with me, for example, when going to the beach. I felt the risk of losing the keys in the sand or...
  20. Know what this red light lens is for?

    I just found this in the pocket of one of my back passenger doors. Can't see anywhere that it belongs and hoping it's just an extra from the manufacturing process. Any clues as to where it belongs?
