  2. Things to do before 3yr/36k Warranty expires?

    Thanks. I went for it too. 125k 10 yr w$100 deductible. It was a thousand less at Granger than at Flood Ford. Kathy at Granger confirmed it’s the EV version on the Ford Extended Plan. Their website just isn’t updated to reflect that yet. The Flood Ford site does specifically say EV in...
  3. Things to do before 3yr/36k Warranty expires?

    was it EV specific? or the non EV one ? (If that’s what it would be called) thanks!
  4. Things to do before 3yr/36k Warranty expires?

    Darn good question from SCRUVS….. anyone know ? EV extended warranty vs Extended warranty ?
  5. Things to do before 3yr/36k Warranty expires?

    I’ve never had much appetite for paying for an extended warranty. Does Ford’s have a solid reputation, and what makes this dealer able to quote any better than another dealer? what level of warranty is “the sweet spot” if there is one, as far as the levels of protection? the quote I got seems...
  6. Things to do before 3yr/36k Warranty expires?

    772 miles until I cross 36,000 miles. Any recommendations on things to have the dealer check before I get out of warranty? only issue I have really had is the nagging rattling noise from the dashboard that was there from day 1. Seems like a fit&finish problem that no dealer would have an...
  7. Towing a 5,500 lbs boat without Max Tow... it's been great!

    Ditto on all the towing remarks. Luvvit ! and the Frunk is a great place to store the boat cover too….
  8. No climate controls on Fordpass app

    I only just found that thanks to your tip. Unfortunately it takes way too long for the spinning wheel to complete the initial request to start the climate control, so I never stared at it long enough to see the option for the pull down to set temp and choose seat heating/cooling. this helps a...
  9. Ford Cancels Model E Program, Letting All US Dealers Sell EVs

    Agreed….so many seem content to just take shots at it…fair or not. Knowing what the truck can do, and then putting it to work for a use case that’s a match, and this truck is really impressive. to your question on kWh/mile….it’s probably around 1.5 if I had to guess. I didn’t do the towing...
  10. Ford Cancels Model E Program, Letting All US Dealers Sell EVs

    I may be the exception, but I absolutely LOVE towing with my Lightning. Effortlessly , silently pulling a boat up steep grades today from one end of Connecticut to the other, my brother who borrowed my Lightning because his ICE F150’s engine light came on when towing the other day, and he’s now...
  11. Ford Branded DCFC (install in process at my dealer)

    Is there any place that we can find a list of the certified Elite dealerships that have DCFC on site and operational ?
  12. Filter to find new chargers at Ford Dealerships?

    I’ve seen several Ford dealerships nearby install new, reliable, fast chargers. I don’t see a filter setting in the app to just show dealership charges. is this coming, or is it tucked away somewhere? I find the new dealership charges to be awesome, reliable, and in safe locations. I would...

  14. Inside EVs Podcast: Ford EV VP Celebrates F-150 Lightning Anniversary

    thanks! Couldn’t find it. funny that at the 24 minute mark that Darren describes a very early problem with the truck that they discovered through watching social media (maybe this site?)…… About a truck that went dead because of a problem with not the truck, but a faulty wall charger, which...
  15. Inside EVs Podcast: Ford EV VP Celebrates F-150 Lightning Anniversary

    Kyle mentioned he was interviewing Darren himself on another of his own podcast right after this one…… Has it been posted…. I don’t see it anywhere
  16. Lectron adaptor fails, drains 12v ?

    apologies for the delayed response. Ford told me to plug it in overnight and see if that makes it go away. It seems to have done the trick. An oddly simple solution! then I did notice that they did some sort of battery monitor sensor warranty work, while I was getting the light bar warranty...
  17. Lectron adaptor fails, drains 12v ?

    So do you think there is any damage done, for the dealer to fix you think? Or maybe they just need to clear it and reset it somehow. also…sorry for the ignorance but what do those acronyms stand for? thanks again!
  18. Lectron adaptor fails, drains 12v ?

    Good point, thanks. I’ll definitely try that next time (not that I valet often). Do you think having the destination charger plugged in overnight in a fault/charging paused mode could have kept something on that might have drained the 12V ? seems too much of a coincidence to have it happen...
  19. Lectron adaptor fails, drains 12v ?

    I didn’t notice that reduced power thing. I’d check now but I had to ditch the truck at home and take the wife’s ICE car because I headed 4 hours up into northern VT for the eclipse and couldn’t risk the lightning. Hopefully I can get the dealer to figure it out when I get back. glad I’m...

    This is the alert the Ford Pass is giving me now:
