  1. 2022s Preconditioning on way to fast charger - do you know that yours does not?

    @Charge_Rob is looking into this. If you own a 2022 and have monitored your truck navigating to a fast charger and are sure it's not preconditioning, please post here. Note - if you don't have a 2022, or haven't monitored it and have no idea, please don't reply to this thread. I know...
  2. Ice vehicles suck

    Just got back from 2 weeks away. 1 week in Oregon for a wedding, then a week in Florida for a graduation. Would have driven, but timing made it impossible. Rented cars in both places, EVs were twice the price. 2.5 years since I drove a gas vehicle. Drove twisted roads in Oregon to/from...
  3. Battery SOH - bragging rights or bullshit?

    I've noticed between the Mach-E and Lightning forums a consistent fact - Lightning SOHs are considerably higher, or perfect, as compared to Mach-E SOHs. Is this because of: 1) Better battery technology on Lightnings as compared to Mach-Es? 2) Better BMS on Lightnings as compared to Mach-Es? 3)...
  4. Scary trip with Mach-E

    Had to take an unscheduled trip for a funeral. Took the Mach-E as no need for the truck. Departed with temps in the 20s. As we approached the first fast charger, I noticed on my CarScanner screen a large energy pull on the heater, which alarmed me. As I started to panic, I then remembered...
  5. 2022 finally gets preconditioning on way to fast charger

    Finally! I successfully navigated to a fast charger this morning, and my battery was prewarmed! Fast charging session I have ever had!
  6. Just completed longest trip, 5,461 miles

    Drove from SE Michigan through 6 states and 3 provinces. Every fast charge was at a Tesla Supercharger (except one IONNA), because of availability, speed, and price. In Canada, Tesla by far was the fastest option, often twice the speed. I fast charged 42 times, used hotel chargers 3 times...

    Hands-Free Driving Systems Confuse Drivers, but Carmakers Push for More NHTSA investigates Ford’s product after deadly crashes; company research during development showed technology can be misunderstood...
  8. Battery warming when cold, and plugged into 240v

    One of the interesting things to me is that EVs, made by the same company, can have totally different battery components or algorithms. This January has been abnormally cold, and I've been watching my vehicles and charging. Both vehicles are prevented from charging from 11AM to 7PM, my peak...

  11. Lightning vs. EREV Lightning

    "The EREV will do 0 to 60 in under 5 seconds!" "Umm, my EV Lightning does 0 to 60 in 3.8 seconds." MIC DROP

  13. Michigan Vintage 2022 F-150 Lightning Collectible

    This vintage truck can be yours! Bought on the promises of Ford Motor Company, this 400V (remember them?) vehicle has an NMC battery (like the one at the Smithsonian) that gave it a paltry 270 miles of range in summer, barely 200 in winter. Lovingly cared for by its owner that bought into...
  14. Winter cold and battery sipping power overnight

    As has been posted before, in the dead of winter, if it's cold enough, the Mach-E and Lightning will pull power from the wall to warm the battery at times. Today I noticed that the Lightning had overnight, whereas the Mach-E had not, parked side by side. Overnight, temps dropped to...
  15. RedTiger F17 Elite Dashcam Review

    TDLR: Nice quality camera, installation doesn’t blend in with vehicle like competitor, hardwire kit takes time and effort to install. Currently $219.99 which is very competitive, and the quality is quite good, with 4K. This is a compensated review – I received the RedTiger F17 Elite camera for...

  18. Not a single "not true", except from Brian, not AI...

    So all this noise about Ford ending the Lightning, much discredited to crappy sources, and then today's WSJ has an editorial about the same issue, and I realized, that since all this started, not a single public "not true" from Jim Farley or Bill Ford or spokesperson, ... Conclusion - they are...

  20. Discount Tire for the win!

    Just had my tires balanced and rotated by DT. Been going there for 47 years except when we lived where they didn't have coverage. Had some bumps in the past, so I call ahead and ensure that a manager is overseeing the work, and the floor lead is the only one that touches the vehicle. Today...
