The awful dealership model continues.
Announcement:

I have experienced a cluster of random issues today.
First I got a notification on FordPass that my truck was accidentally unplugged. The problem is the truck had not been plugged in for about 7 hours.
Then CarPlay would not work wired or wirelessly. A phone restart did not fix the issue but...
I like the idea of rain sensing wipers but hate the implementation. The wipers rotate between moderate speed and high speed even when the intensity of the rain doesn't change.

For the second time this week I came out to the truck with the heat preconditioning the cabin. I had this set in departure times previously when it was winter but turned it off. I checked the settings in both the truck and Fordpass app and it is off in both places but yet the truck still heats...
Does anybody know how many modules make up the battery pack of an extended range lightning? I know for a fact there are nine modules in the standard range
