  1. Does anyone have a "Gap" policy for new vehicle?

    BLUF: what do youhave for documentation of your Gap policy? Reading another thread about a (probably) totaled Lightning made me a little nervous. I've had my lightning for less than 2 years, but I still owe more on it than current Blue Book. That's fine, I plan to hold onto it for 10 years or...
  2. Range & Charging Question for Montana EV owners

    Hi everyone, I'm moving to Bozeman in a month or so. One of the things I love to do is to explore the wild places, but MAN, Montana looks like an absolute DESERT for DCFCs anywhere north of the I90/94 corridor. Do y'all just not travel at all to the North Central / Eastern part of the state...
  3. Kudos to my local Ford dealer (Kendall Ford in Bend, OR)

    I was a little overdue in getting my 20,000 mi service done. Plus, they notified me about 2 "recalls" or required software updates (or whatever the current euphemism is)... So I booked an appointment, had to wait a few weeks but I know they are pretty busy... I get a call a week or two ago...
  4. How cold has your truck been?

    A few years ago we went skiing in Big Sky, MT, and the outside temps got to the negative 20s at night. Our ICE rental car just died. Even when it 'warmed' up to above zero, it would not work the rental car company had to tow it away and give us a new one. I know all about efficiency losses due...
  5. Daytime running lights DRL not working!

    Has anyone else noticed this issue? The rotary light switch is set to "Auto", and "Daytime Running Lights" are enabled when I check the Vehicle Settings on the center display... But nuthin'! I just noticed it today, during a fairly significant snowfall in daylight - so there is a fair bit of...
  6. What data does ABRP use with OBD for range estimation? How good is it?

    I use ABRP already for rough planning, but have never used it for a long trip and I have always used it VERY conservativelyu (ie, if it tells me to charge to 75% I will go to at least 80%) I am trying to move past my range anxiety, here! I had one (shorter) trip this winter that I actually...
  7. A2Z recall (NACS to CCS1 adapter) - overblown concern?

    I searched and could only find threads about the Ford adapter recall. Anyone else got a letter from A2Z about a recall of their NACS to CCS1 adapter? A lot of legalese, but it sounds like there are concerns about the locking mechanism, but in the specifics of how it can cause harm, it just...
  8. Heated seats defaulting to "On" in 90 degree weather!

    So previously I posted about the semi-hidden default in the FordPass app that would turn your seat heaters on if you used the climate pre-conditioning feature, even in hot weather. Gremlins have now apparently infested my Lightning, or the truck wishes to just mess with me... For the last few...
  9. How can I tell which Tesla Superchargers I can use with my A2Z adapter?

    I'm doing an upcoming trip where I'm crossing a bit of a charger desert - only a single 62kW charger that I don't want to "rely" on... ABRP does not seem to recognize that there is a Tesla Supercharger in that same town. On the supercharger map on Tesla's website, there is a supercharger that...
  10. Stupid defaults on (new) Fordpass Climate pre-start

    So it's been > 95 degrees here recently (like much of the country), and twice today I hit the Fordpass "Climate" button hoping to cool down the truck before I got in. While the AC was blasting nicely, imagine my surprise that the heated seats & steering wheel were also engaged! Navigating...
  11. Looking for decent tailggate pad for MTN bikes

    Does anyone have a good solution for a tailgate pad that fits well & doesn't block the backup camera? I bought the Yakima "Gatekeeper" ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09HC57HNR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 ) It's just a touch too wide (you have to scrunch up the material...
  12. What do you use to search for chargers?

    Just took a long-ish (700+ mi) trip through Eastern Oregon & Washington. Not a lot of chargers. I used ABRP to plan the trip. Once I was at my stopping point (small town in E Washington), I realized my consumption was a bit higher than ABRP defaults, and I was worried I would have to take a...
  13. Yakima DoubleDown trailer hitch bike rack - tailgate doesnt clear

    Hoping to save other people the aggravation - the Yakima DoubleDown tailgate rack is supposed to angle backwards to allow you access to the back of your vehicle. It doesn't _quite_ go down far enough for the tailgate to fully drop, however! (In all fairness they have pics of SUVs with the...
  14. what does the AT&T data plan do?

    Just got an email from ATT that "we have cancelled your data plan"... Does anyone know what this means specifically for the functioning? I do not use the hotspot function at all. If I don't renew my plan, will everything else still work? OTA updates? Navigation? Thanks for any experience you...
  15. Door handle "lock" button intermittently working

    I'm talking about the little physical button on the outside of the door handle. I exit the truck, shut the door, and I push that little lock icon button. About 50% of the time, the marker lights will flash but the truck won't actually lock. It's not the end of the world because I always...
  16. Extra wheels for snow tires - means extra Tire Pressure sensors?

    Hi everyone - Getting ready to swap my snow tires out for the all-seasons that came with my truck. I would love to (like some people suggested) just mount my snow tires on a second set of wheels so I can swap them myself next season. For those of you who have done that, is there any problem...
  17. dropping tailgate with topper door still closed?

    Hi everyone! Trying to decide between Leer, ARE and Smartcap for my Lightning. One curiosity - can the tailgate be lowered without opening the topper rear door? Or is the seal too tight and the rear topper door needs to be lifted before the tailgate comes down? Is there any difference between...
  18. How to claim the tax credit?

    I see some posts about people getting a $7500 credit at the time of their purchase. I did not receive it - nor did I look for it, since I just assumed (yeah, yeah, I know) that I would claim it when I filed my tax return Has anyone here done just that? The only documentation I have from my...
  19. Is the Rivian Adventure Network open to Lightnings yet?

    I have a trip coming up and just noticed that the best DCFCs in the small town I am going to are on the "Rivian Adventure Network"... I saw this article from April that suggests they are going to open up like the Tesla network soon...
  20. Instrument Cluster went dark!

    I've seen this described once or twice here without any definitive resolution on what the heck happened... Was on a longer drive, topped up at an EA station for my trip home. I was a little sleepy so pulled into a rest area to take a nap. I have no idea if this is important - but I turned the...
