Sounds like a good plan. I think I'll adopt the same plan. I have 10 year warranty, so after 8 years there will be stiill two years on the warranty for the next owner.
1. Tesla Owner - Not: Never owned a Tesla. Don't like them. Never been in one.
2. Ford Capability No reason why Ford cannot have software as good as Tesla.
3. Dog Mode: I'm the one that has repeatedly published instructions on how to make a DYI dog mode. That said, there's no reason for...
Wrong:
Cold Weather Range: Not telling us how much cold weather will negatively impact range. (But I still would have bought the truck.)
Software: It really sucks. They should have copied Tesla. Downloads. No Dog Mode. Navigation software is also terrible.
Electrify America Arrangement: The...
It's called "Dog Mode". Here are the instructions:
AC / Heat On: Be sure AC is set to “Auto” and to, say, 73 degrees.
Truck On: Leave the Truck Running.
Lights to Off: Turn the dial to the left until it’s “off”.
Close Mirrors: This is optional.
“Power Down” Timer Off: Turn Off the 30 minute...
I've been a Lightning owner since May, 2022. I stopped using the Ford Nav app long ago, but not for the reasons you state (which are charger-related.) I stopped using Ford Nav because it is terrible as a basic navigation app. There are so many better apps for Navigation.
As for chargers, I...
My problem with the Ford Nav system has nothing to do with the chargers; my problem with the Ford Nav system is that the navigation sucks. Compare it with Waze, Apple Maps, Google Maps and other CarPlay apps and Ford Nav pales in comparison.
I'll stick with using a proper CarPlay nav app for...
It doesn't seem to allow both to be active at the same time now.
Exactly. When I got my 2022 Lariat in June of 2022, it did not allow both to be active at the same time. Later, it did allow them to both be active. But alas, now they cannot both be active.
I love Ford but Ford does NOT...
I assume the person making that comment ment for Ford to copy the functionality; the look and feel; the functional design. Maybe my assumption is incorrect.
As for CarPlay, I would not buy a car that does not support CarPlay.
The Ford Nav app SUCKS doing the function of navigation. So I don't use it. Instead, I use (what I think is) the best Nav app to use for navigation. And I use the Tesla app to find chargers.
Definitely put a charger at your home and at your vacation homes and at the place you frequently visit.
If one of your vacation homes is in a cold environment, note that the Lightning's range drops dramatically in cold weather.
Listen carefully to the advice from folks with trailers. I cannot...
Brian,
How about you create a spreadsheet listing all the items people have asked for AND which you sent to the product team. (Like "Dog Mode".) Then put beside each item a catagory as to whether or not that item is in the product plan. E.G.,
Dog Mode - Not in Product Plan.
Request B - In...
