I don’t normally charge to 100% so this is a new phenomena I noticed this evening. My Lightning was at 100% charge and the coasting behaved like the Lightning was in neutral rather than the normal coasting performance. I expect a slight difference because the battery is fully charged but not as...

My Hilti tools rep came by to deliver some tools and she mentioned she'll soon be getting an ER Lightning Pro model for her route truck. Currently she's driving an F- 150 extended cab with a 6'-6" bed. I looked on-line and found this Youtube video from another Hilti sales rep with his...

I've had my Lightning for 8+ months. I've had more people notice my Lightning and ask questions about it in the past two months than the first six months. I live in somewhat rural Oklahoma and it is the first one anyone has seen. I think maybe more folks are aware Ford has an electric truck...

Town and Country Ford posted this today. Bronco Lightning

Old habits must be hard to break. Took my Lightning into the dealership today to get it checked for the wiper motor recall plus the active air dam messages I keep getting. The service advisor asked if I needed an oil change. I let him off the hook by laughing and asking if he could check the...

The Forest Service is testing out SR Lightning Pro’s. https://www.outsideonline.com/outdoor-adventure/environment/forest-service-electric-vehicles/

Does anyone have the specific details on battery temperatures maintained when pre-conditioning during cold weather? Maybe I'm way overthinking this but It would seem that having a matrix of outside air temperature, car parking temperature (garage is warmer than OAT) and expected trip...

I've occasionally been hearing a random double chime with no apparent alert. It happens much more frequently when I'm towing my flatbed bumper pull trailer. It is still erratic but rather annoying. Is anyone else getting this alert or getting a double chime but not seeing any alert? My 2022...

@FordVideoGuy Tim Bartz mentioned on his Tuesday night podcast that due to a shortage of the 20" all season tires, the order guide and build and price have been updated to default the All Terrain tires on Lariats and high trim XLT's. Just a reminder the 20" All Terrain tires reduce GVWR and...

I hooked up my small utility trailer for some errands around town. Probably only 1000 to 1500 pounds. Maximum speed was 60 heading back to the house. Averaged 2.5 miles per KWh. Lots of starts and stops. I didn’t restart Trip 1 for this use. Probably drove 20 miles on 8% of my SR battery...

This weekend, I realized I was missing an essential tool for EV travel. A simple voltage tester is something I'm going to keep in my console at all times. I'm thinking about adding a receptacle tester too. You visit someone and they are willing to let you plug in for a charge but then...

This coming weekend I’m heading to Kansas City with my SR XLT. 210 miles of no DC fast charging available. the preferred route is between the two ABRP routes shown. Getting there shouldn’t be a problem with some conservative driving and 100% starting charge. Getting a full charge coming home...

I got my Lightning registered at the tag office yesterday and was told it is taking 2 to 3 months to get titles mailed out due to a shortage of paper the titles are printed on. A car dealer happened to be in the tag office at the same time and he confirmed it was causing them numerous problems...

I wonder what the maximum wind speed would be to safely open the Frunk? I reviewed the Owners manual and there was no mention of environmental conditions where the Frunk should not be opened. When it is windy I'm always cautious when opening a door and the wind is blowing from behind the...

I just picked up my new XLT SR Lightning on Monday so this has only happened twice. Both times I have plugged my 48 amp ChargePoint into my Lightning it has immediately started charging to 100%. I have even tried to set the one time charge at 90% but it will continue charging past 90%. Any...

T I didn’t even think to try my Ford Pass app.

I've been keeping track of the ZEV state statistics over in the order tracker but thought I would break this post out into it's own thread. -Disclaimer, these statistics are based on the data shared in the F150 Lightning Forum Reservation and Order lists. I believe there is enough data for it...

Should I swap my XLT SR that will be delivered within a month or so with my dealer's Lariat ER that will arrive in the next week or two? Either one would be at MSRP. I've got my dealer checking on this FCTP provision with their rep: This provision seems to me it would allow the swap. If any...

Now that we have have a number of window stickers being generated for Lightning order holders we are getting data off of those stickers. We have observed that if you have an XLT ER or Lariat ER and add the optional 20" All Terrain tire to your order the GVWR will be 8,400#. If you stick with...

When you get to your build week, here is a link that can use to see when your truck come to life. This link finds the active computer modules. Once the 12v battery is connected and the truck is turned on then the modules "pop". https://www.motorcraftservice.com/AsBuilt You may get a pop-up...
