Mine shows a 1 year extension but I think that was something we could sign up for several months ago. If it’s any better for the ‘25 folks, at least yall got steep discounts and 0% apr. I remember all the weird ways to join Parsons because they had 4% and that was low back a few years, not too...

I am curious to see how intelligent they make the overall system. Lots of ways to find efficiency. For example, in the winter, running the generator because it generates waste heat that can warm the cabin and battery. Is that more efficient than using resistive heating? Possibly so. Very curious...

Has anyone had issues with connectivity? I’ve had random bouts of awful PaaK connection issues that I never saw before. Last time it happened, I went into my iPhones Bluetooth list and could see the truck connecting and disconnecting over and over for a minute before stabilizing letting me start...

Well, what’s the fair value of a vehicle no longer made on a power train no longer offered? If the answer is little to nothing, hopefully you can see why that wouldn’t be ideal.

Also with the Lightning now canceled should we expect software support to also cease? Will we ever get charging rates on the dash? Or should we expect updates to stop and what we got is what we got?

My question is what this means for those of us left behind for stuff like insurance. What happens to rates when the truck is no longer made? If my truck is totaled in an accident, how does new vehicle replacement under my policy figure in when there’s no Lightnings being made? I guess I will...

Welp. Looks like resale value is gonna drop. Like others, I have no desire to go back to gas. I got the extended warranty so I’ll drive it until it’s no longer feasible and when I can’t replace parts any longer salvage the battery for a DIY home back up and scrap the rest. Hopefully Scout...

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...
