  1. Driving ICE for the 1st time in years. I don't miss it.

    Even before I got my Lightning, I had a Mustang Mach-E, so it's been quite a long time since I've driven an ICE vehicle. My truck's been at the dealer for over a month now, so I borrowed a Honda Accord for a few days, then a 2024 Explorer XLT as a loaner from the dealer. It's funny how many...
  2. Sirius XM no longer showing song and artist

    I'm not sure if this is happening to anyone else, but my 12" display is no longer showing song titles or artist names. I've tried resetting it using the right skip and power button method. It reboots, but the information is still missing.
  3. Anyone in the NY/NJ area want a free BedRug Mat?

    I originally installed a BedRug Mat, but decided to update to the full bed, so I still have the original Mat in virtually new condition, along with the box and mounting strips. I don't want to ship it, but I'm comfortable with meeting somebody halfway like a rest area along the NJ Turnpike or...
  4. The Lightning in Fiction

    It was just a matter of time before Lightnings started to pop up in fiction. I haven't seen one in any movies or TV shows yet, but one popped up in the middle of an AudioBook that I was listening to today. There it was... In the middle of the book... In the middle of chapter 19 where the...
  5. I got a ticket because the charge port is in the front and I parked head-in.

    Last night I got a ticket for parking "Head in to Back-in Only" while charging at a NYC DOT EV designated charging space. Cars parked on that street are normally required to back in, but the charging cables are super short so the only way for me to charge there is to pull in, which is what...
  6. My solution to dark badges / lettering on dark colors -- contrasting color vinyl

    I've often wondered why they use dark badges, even on dark colors. While I understand the need for all badges to have the same color scheme, I wonder why they didn't simply use Chrome, which generally shows up well on every color. With that in mind, I've started tinkering with the idea of...
  7. Red Ryder Carbine 650 Shot BB Gun Review. What could go wrong?

    As some of you know, I've got a few YouTube Channels... nothing professional. I just do it for fun, so I thought some of you would get a kick out of my latest video, a review of the Red Ryder Carbine.
  8. Video Streaming is Coming - Email from Ford

    I got an email today about video streaming coming in a future update. I'm not sure if they sent it to me because I own a Lightning, or because I'm still on the mailing list for my old Mach-E, but I'm guessing it will be available on all Sync 4 models. For what it's worth, I definitely wasn't...
  9. Lightnings are like EV Ninjas, especially in HOV lanes

    Since the Lightning doesn't look like an EV, we're starting to sneak up on people who have no idea we're driving a fully electric vehicle. I was at a mall the other day where they offer free EV charging spaces right in the front of the lot. As I was pulling into the spot, a guy in a Tesla came...
  10. Video review of my Atlas Blue XLT with 312A

    I took some time yesterday to head over to the park with some cameras, tripods, and microphones to shoot a quick video of my Lightning. When I got to the park, all sorts of things didn't go as planned, so I decided to just shoot something quick using just my iPhone. I shot it all in one take...
  11. Frunk Creek and other problems

    Some of our members have reported various Frunk failure messages, and one member even had the Frunk literally open unexpectedly while driving. I've had three problems with my Frunk. 1. Sometimes it doesn't open when I hit the button under the hood. When this happens, unlocking the whole truck...
  12. Staten Island - Dana Ford has a Lariat IN STOCK NOW

    My sales rep called me on Sunday to let me know he has a Lariat in stock right now in case I knew anyone who was looking to get one. My sales rep is Jorge. He knows me as Joe. I paid MSRP for mine, but I have no way to know what the final sales price is because the last time they had one on...
  13. Spotted Black XLT at Washington's Crossing today

    I spent the day riding along on both sides of the Delaware River today, and as I pulled out of the parking lot, I came across a brand new black XLT parked on the other side of the lot. So far, I've only come across one other Lightning in the wild, which makes me wonder if there was a chance it...
  14. What follows Lightning? THUNDER (bird)?

    Ford only makes ONE CAR, the Mustang. Everything else is a truck or SUV. It seems to me that if they want to build another car, the only logical choice would be to bring back the Thunderbird. So, I stumbled on this today... taken from the US Patent and Trademark office. About a year ago...
  15. Unclaimed orders = Opportunities

    I just visited my local dealer and checked out one of the Lightnings that's been sitting on the lot for almost a week because the customer still hasn't picked it up. The sales rep told me they've been reaching out to the customer to let him know his order arrived, but he hasn't made an...
  16. Why I don't have Range Anxiety ordering a Standard Range

    Quite a few people online and offline ask me about the range of my "Standard Range" Mustang Mach-E, so I thought I'd share some of my experience here. A lot of people tell me they're interested in an EV but are waiting for the "next generation" of EVs getting 500 or more miles so it could be...
  17. My dealer's website SAYS they have FOUR Lightnings IN-STOCK NOW

    I was the 2nd person at my dealership to order a Lightning, so you would think I would be one of the first to get mine. Right now, my dealer has FOUR lightnings, including a Pro, Lariat and Platinum sitting in INVENTORY. Meanwhile, my "Production Date" slipped to August 1. **** UPDATED ****...
  18. New York City

    I'm in Staten Island... Ordered from Dana Ford / Lincoln. Anyone else nearby?
  19. Video: My F-150 Lightning Factory Tour - Launch Event

    As many of you know, a handful of customers, including several of us from this message board were invited to the official Lightning Launch Event in Dearborn MI. Among other perks, we had full access to the factory and were allowed to tour the whole place... and I did exactly that. I walked the...
  20. My build date just moved another month later.... anyone else?

    My original build date was week of 6/13/22. Now it's 7/25/22. :( Anyone else just get pushed back?
