Looking at the Temperatures page on CarScanner, two questions. First, what is "Transmission" measuring? Second, can anyone confirm my assumption about Min and Max HV battery temperatures. I assume there are multiple sensors and these two numbers are showing the range of temperatures for those...

There have been various discussions - particularly with the addition of PPOB with the truck off being added to older truck - related to the battery consumption of running just PPOB vs leaving the truck on. I did a test so there are some real numbers as opposed to opinions. The reasonably...

Wondering if anyone else saw this. About the only time I use Cruise Control is on the open road. I have it set to Adaptive Cruise Control which works pretty well. However a couple weeks ago I started noticing that it would change the speed setting to the speed limit every time I passed a speed...

I've been seeing something lately that is happening often enough to see a pattern. Wondering if anyone else is noticing the same. At home I have a FCSP that has the switch dial set to 48 amp max charge rate and it's fed with a 60 amp breaker with less than 10 feet of THHN in conduit between...

Had a slightly entertaining one this afternoon. I did a fairly short - 14 minute 32 KWH charge session at a V3 SuperCharger today using my A2Zev CCS-1 adapter. When I was done, I disconnected the adapter from the truck while holding onto the adapter. Then I grabbed the Tesla connector to...

Anyone know what fuse powers the rear seat 12V accessory outlet? I went to plug in my portable air compressor and found the outlet dead. First guess is the fuse. Of course the manual was of zero help as there is nothing listed as being for the accessory outlet. And list it looks like major...

Got a notice a few days ago that EVgo was doing one of their periodic $10 charging discount code. Somehow I apparently lost / deleted the message. Did anyone else get the discount code?

Last week I took what is so far my longest trip in my Lightning at just over 1,000 miles from home in Glendora, CA to Tucson, AZ and back. Here is the story. As usual for me, it will get a bit long... The primary purpose of the trip was to attend a ham radio group meeting in Tucson on...

Background: I have used A Better Route Planner on my desktop computer a few times to help plan a route, and I have it loaded on my Android. However without upgrading to premium, as far as I can tell you can't really do much with ABRP on your phone (or more importantly on the truck display) en...

As of yesterday evening, I have owned my '24 Lightning Flash for one year. Here are some of my observations and stats. I will be touching on various topics in no particular order. Overall impression at the very end. Yea, this is going to get long... Purchase: I started my quest to purchase...

I have a 24 Flash with 275/60R20 116T Goodyear Wrangler Territory HT tires. I really need an All Terrain tire mostly for driving crappy and semi crappy dirt (often rocky) roads to mountaintop 2-way radio sites, however when I bought the truck it was the time of year where you get what you can...

Do you EVER expect to need to charge your truck from a generator? If so, make sure it will work - especially with inverter based generators. Although I don't really ever expect to need to charge my Lightning from my Honda 2.2 KW generator, I confirmed today that it does work - slowly. I have...

I discovered that the side mirrors are not made of glass and can be scratched somewhat easily. Here's how I discovered this. I had put a convex stick on mirror onto the drivers side mirror, but did not like where I put it. As is normal, these are held on with double sided foam tape. The easy...

Every year I help support a five day bicycle ride from Big Bear to Mammoth Mtn in California. The 335 mile ride is a fund raiser for a charity in Big Bear. I also did a little GeoCaching along the way and more on the way to Big Bear and on the way home. This was the first year driving my...

FordPass version 5.28.0 on both Android and iOS. Charging at my saved home location. Home location is set for a target charge to 85% and charge time of 2100 - 1600. For $$ reasons, I wanted to charge this one time to 75% rather than 85%. Plugged in at about 1950 and it correctly said waiting...

Thought I would pass along info from an add I saw. EVgo is having a Labor Day sale. $10 credit on one charge session. You must use the EVgo app and at the 3 line "hamburger" in the upper left corner, select Promo Codes. Enter code: 25 Labor Day Off 10 (without the spaces I added to make it...

Dumb question department. How do you leave the AC running and leave the truck with the doors locked? Think Dog mode. If you leave the truck on or in accessory, and lock the doors, it will immediately unlock the doors and honk the horn twice. What am I missing?

For those planning on driving US Hwy 395 in California, every Rivian DCFC location I checked is now open to non-Rivian vehicles. When I checked as recently as a week or so ago they were all showing Rivian only on Plug Share. After seeing that new information, I installed the Rivian app on my...

Anyone have any insider information on the A2Z NACS extension cable? It's still listed on the A2Z website as a future product. I attempted to use a SuperCharger over the weekend that was V3 chargers that were against a wall so no possibility to use with my Lightning. It had only one stall...

Let's see if someone knows how. I am trying to install several 2-way radio antennas on my 2024 Lightning Flash. In order to do that, I need to at least partially lower the headliner enough that I can see where there is anyplace I can't drill holes, and be able to route the antenna cables down...
