Lived through a couple pretty gnarly hurricanes. Unpleasant stuff. Stress about losing the home, losing your life, how to rebuild if it comes to that. Makes for a sleepless night hiding under the stairs. I pay $0.10 or so from FPL but most of the time my solar covers my charging. Solar and the...

If I press my pedal to the floor I will do a 4 wheel rolling burnout. My poor Hankooks can’t handle the power output of the truck, so if ford is derating folks it certainly ain’t me lol.

I tried to keep some food warm on an electric skillet in the frunk but it kept tripping the outlet. Truck was saying it pulled too much electricity. It ended up not being a huge deal, it was a ton of chorizo and eggs for the coworkers and it stayed warm enough on the short commute to plug in at...

This was shared here earlier in the week. Brian from Ford said that it’s a prioritization due to an aluminum shortage not a cancellation. Thread went on for a while, in case you want to read it and feel out people's thoughts. No formal cancellation announced but things don’t look great.

Driving back towards the topic: yall brought up an interesting point if owning a lightning has led to any friends buying one. I had one coworker buy one he was interested in after asking me about mine. I have had two friends and a sibling buy Model Ys, either new or used, due to the low cost. I...

No disrespect to our Friend from Ford, but it feels like it’s a matter of time before the Lightning is done. It simply isn’t selling much, the current administration is pretty vocally opposed to EVs, and being honest it doesn’t seem like the American people are interested in EVs yet. I’m mainly...

Has anyone noticed issues with their truck 'waking up' constantly with the new app? For years, my truck has been fine in my driveway but lately it's turning itself on (lights come on for a few seconds) every 10 or so minutes. Even when I turned off bluetooth mode the truck still wakes up. It's...

To your earlier question, I was getting the wrench every time my truck started. I didn’t actually have any perceptible issues driving. If not for the wrench I wouldn’t have guessed anything was wrong. I drove it with the wrench for about a month before I was settled in my new home and could make...

I had my coolant valve replaced a few months ago. It started giving me issues right before I moved across the country. I had no problems fast charging or driving the roughly 2,500 miles I needed to go. I didn’t notice any sounds or clicking. My dealer diagnosed it, ordered the part while I kept...

The secret to a long life tire on the lightning is to resist the urge to goose it a bunch. I imagine many of yall are like me and sometimes hitting the juice pedal and spinning the tires a bit for good fun puts a smile on the face. Downside is, you have to eventually replace them!

I wonder if the moonroof struggles with the cold? I live along the gulf coast where we barely see freezing temps and I have no rattles and with the torrential rain during the summers very fortunately no leaks! I’m approaching 40k miles myself, probably 2.3 lifetime mileage, Hankooks hanging on...

That has to be it, my code overlaps and I usually just keep mashing it in til my truck unlocks. Such a simple answer, I love it. I was considerably befuddled when I looked up and saw the frunk open lol

Saw this the other day and thought it was odd. I walked up to my truck and tried opening it via unlocking through the driver door handle touch sensor. I heard the click the truck makes when it makes up but no unlock (happens a bunch) so then I went up to the key pad and unlocked it that way...

iOS 26.0.1, FordPass 5.28.0, iPhone 16 Pro Zero battery issues, showing less than 1% usage today even after driving for a couple hours and being in and around the truck with PaaK.

Sucks the credit is going away, they’re good vehicles and honestly a lot of folks in my neck of the woods that have driven my truck actually bought into EVs a bit. They make wonderful commuters. As for the never ending high way range debates, coming up on 40k miles I don’t think I’ve ever had...

I will say, I appreciate that Brian doesn’t just ask us for our vin every time we have an issue. That used to make my eyes roll. I think I posted once discussing an unexpected behavior and the ford rep at the time chimed in with the copy n paste vin response and it’s like, I don’t need to go to...

My Hankooks are at about 36,000 miles and they’re in rough shape… fortunately we don’t get a ton of bad weather where I’m at so I’m hoping to scoop up a new pair when I see a good discount.

I think this might be more common than people think. I've heard of / seen cats seek shelter in vehicles because they're warm or provide shelter. From the Mices perspective your frunk is an awesome home impervious to rain and predators lol.

I can't complain since rates in Florida are roughly 10c per kwh. That said, FPL raised rates during and after covid because folks were failing to pay. Then they raised rates after the damage from Hurricane Ian. FPL is a state monopoly so no alternatives for me. Flip side, the state has been...

I had been having some issues but that may have been due to being on both the iOS 26 beta and fordpass beta. No problems now. Service doesn’t affect PaaK. I used it in areas with no cell coverage just fine. Make sure you set up the correct app permissions. Also, Bluetooth seems to be sensitive...
