@Ford Motor Company sure looks like another problem dealer damaging the brand...

I know, and we're lucky to have you here. Please don't mistake my frustration with the results that Ford the gigantic corporation as a whole is able to deliver for dissatisfaction with or ingratitude for your efforts. At least with you here there's some channel for owners' feedback to reach...

One of the better lessons Ford could take from this and similar events is that Jesse is an asset to the brand, not some kind of enemy. He's basically a super specialized independent mechanic who can solve problems most dealerships can't. Ford should find a way to collaborate with him or at...

My gripe with "Auto" on both our Lightning and our Mach Es is that it puts no air to the back seat, so in a full car the back seat passenger roasts or freezes. Someone made some dumb choices about this stuff at Ford. Heat on the heat-pump Mach E seems to work just as well as on the older one...

No. When a heat pump is *heating* the conditioned space, no condensation and thus no dehumidification happens at the air handler coils. It happens *outside* where the air is being cooled to extract heat for the conditioned space. That's why low temperature heat pumps require condensate pan...

I wonder how often this valve cycles?

There's no need to speculate; the reason is well documented. The truck used to stay in whatever mode you put it in, but because some of the modes disable traction and stability control, this violates Federal regulations. Ford had to issue a recall over this, which was mostly addressed by OTA.

My 2020 EcoBoost had the 10 speed transmission and was smooth and pleasant. It developed a little bit of driveline clunk right towards the end but I knew my 2022 Lightning was soon on the way so I didn't bother having it addressed. Sounds like that loaner they gave you may have had a rough life.

What do those of us who haven't received an OTA update since 2023 do?

I have the glare-free lights enabled via Forscan. I've noticed a couple of times lately that the lights come up in old fashioned high beam mode when I start the truck and stay that way until I flick them once, then go into the intended glare free mode. I didn't apply any updates with FDRS and...

OK as promised I did the down-the-mountain test. I was lucky enough to get a friend to drive in front of me who didn't mind a little tailgating. We did it twice. I couldn't get the brake lights to come on from regen in 2-pedal mode without using cruise control, which is cheating. The display...

I want one of these, I will totally buy one if they're reasonably priced and maybe even if not, and I am hoping @Jesse-Infotainment gets a decent chunk of change for his work on this and all the other ways he helps our community. What happens to the folding shifter when this is installed? Does...

Just FWIW, not only Teslas but also many ICE cars will illuminate the brake lights at a decelleration threshold, whether the friction brakes are engaged or not. This all started decades ago with a recall of early BMW X-Drive vehicles which were getting rear-ended because the X-Drive cruise...

The behavior may be different in 2-pedal mode. If so, it will just approximate what a truck with a manual transmission would do when jake (engine) braking. I will drive down the mountain after dark tomorrow (I am in the flatlands today) and find out.

Will do. This should be a fun test.

"REGEN never applies the brakes" and "regen never illuminates the brake lights" are not the same.

Not just 'on" the brake (what we'd call "covering" the brake on a motorcycle) but actively pressing it down towards the floor, right? When starting the truck, when putting it in gear, when stopped with the gear selector in "Drive"? The auto-hold feature in particular makes it easy to mess this...

OK, LED lighting coverage (which does concern me a little) aside, I have a totally different question. I know you can get a pro-rated refund if you sell the vehicle while there's still time/miles left on the ESP. But can you transfer the ESP with the vehicle instead? We'll probably give or...

In my case, there was definitely no glitch in the software; there was a glitch in the wetware, one I didn't understand until quite a while later. There have been hundreds of these threads about almost every concievable vehicle, and news reports and controversies going all the way back to the...

I hit a trailer at a stoplight a couple years ago. I was baffled how - I was so confused that the truck seemed to do the opposite of my control inputs and didn't slow at all as I slammed on the brakes - I thought I must have fallen asleep at the wheel (I was driving home after a very long day...
