I have had two instances months apart where after backing out of a spot and putting it back into drive, the truck accelerated hard requiring braking. I’ve written about it before, but it felt like runaway throttle, not driver input. I wish I had a video or onboard data to look at. A lot of...

My lab used to be afraid to jump up after she fell from the back seats of my ranger when I was trying to unload her. Lots of treats and patience plus the lower floor of the Lightning and she was able to jump up. Once she did it once she was okay doing it again. I keep a dog bed rolled up under...

Haha showing us folks reactions to the truck without showing it to the audience is diabolical.

Appreciate the heads up. Not going to lie, a bit disappointing from calling it a model T moment without much on specifics. The changes in approach sound noteworthy but it doesn’t mean much if it doesn’t translate into practical benefits (more range, faster charging). Between the R2/R3, Scout...

Are we going to see any photos or renders of what this/these new vehicle(s) might look like? Any specifics on targets for range or charging speed?

Ford claims $30k price for the truck and deliveries in 2027.

There’s also some folks hosting streams on YouTube as well

Is there a time on Monday the stream is planned for? I also would like to avoid creating additional online accounts when it can be avoided. I’m hoping one of the many EV YouTube channels covers it.

Mine is still in its original box. The cost to wire it in far exceeds just charging from my existing 50A outlet with the mobile charger. 35k miles and a few cracks later an ye olde trusty mobile charger still running as we speak.

Update: My yellow wrench was for a failed coolant diverter valve first seen in May and has showed up every time the truck runs. Took it to the dealer a month ago, they had to back order the part so I kept driving. Part came in, service team was honest that this was their first ev repair of this...

Ford had announced their bronco sport esque ev in china, so I wouldn’t be shocked if this is a family of EVs based off that platform just like GM with ultium. Think bronco sport, maverick, maybe something else like explorer? I have to imagine it will be unibody, low cost, and trying to stay on...

For me, iOS 26 hasn’t been an issue since the first beta but when Ford asked me to update my PaaK through the app, that’s when I started having issues. I’m also on the ford pass beta. I sent them feedback a couple weeks back with notes on what was happening so hopefully it gets addressed down...

I forget the exact brand but it’s ceramic which is the most important aspect. I ended up doing 25% front windows, 15% back and rear, 50% moon roof, and 70% windshield. You don’t need to go dark to enjoy the benefits either, you can do clear if required by law.

I’ll offer this as a tip from someone who’s now operated his lightning in the Mojave desert and Florida: tint your windows. Tinting helps so much in rejecting IR energy that it makes your AC that much more “effective”. I’ve been driving in 115-120F temps and still had my truck holding 70F...

I will add that I just left the high desert and I still pulled 165kW to start and at the 10min mark was usually around 90-100kW when I DCFC’d. Temps were 100-110F. I usually had high batt temps like yours once I was driving but when I would leave my garage in the am it would be centered. Granted...

Took my truck into the Dealership today for getting this issue: It was a bad Coolant Diverter. Apparently, the truck also has a code for Air Dam Failure because I must have hit something while driving off-road in the desert. I need to take a look, I can't think of many instances where I was...

Bluecruise 1.4 is nice but it's not perfect. I just finished a 2,400 mile trip and I sent plenty of feedback to Ford regarding things they need to work on: Signal to change lanes sits for a second or two before going and I found that led to confusion with other drivers on multiple occasions...

I have torched my Hankooks. I’m gonna see what deals discount tire drops and switch to Michelin Defenders. 35k not very gentle miles on these… I

Interesting, I definitely have a Tesla one then. It’s the big clunker on the left. I tried multiple times on this trip and each time the A2Z performed better than my ford one. I can’t imagine why.
