  1. 7,600 Miles, 7 National Parks, 1 Spruce Goose with my F-150 Lightning

    Fantastic report, thanks for sharing. It's good to see how far the infrastructure of the charging network has come in the last two years. Really good to see the non-issue report on Electrify America, only because I tend to use the as my primary, followed by Tesla, then ChargePoint. Much...
  2. Compensating for Elevation in Route Planning

    Have you ever towed, in that environment? If so, what was the impact and how's the infrastructural support?
  3. Failing Level 2 and DCFC...

    Thanks for your insights, I will definitely bring yours @Pacific.NW to the dealer when I drop the truck off tomorrow. I'll keep you all updated, once I have a fix.
  4. Failing Level 2 and DCFC...

    So, the story begins that I usually use my FCSP to charge once weekly (on average), sometimes twice weekly depending on my travels. I only use DCFC, I'm sure as most of us, when traveling. Level 2 Charging: The past two days, I've been unaable to charge using my FCSP, the charger would stop...
  5. Lightning sales down 42 percent in May

    I feel that given the state of the economy and political discourse, all EV's will struggle with sales over the remainder of the year. Given that, if @Ford Motor Company wants to continue to own this area, they'll have to release an updated version (T3?). Of all the questions I've ever gotten...
  6. New Wheels and Tires: Black Rhino + Open Country AT 3 EV Tires

    Just slightly, I'm getting between 1.9-2.0 mi/kwh. I'm towing my rv, approx. 7k/lbs this weekend within 60 miles of home. The last time we towed we got approx .8-.9 mi/kwh. I'm considering switching to Michelin...
  7. FordPass 5.14.0 Available (iOS & Android)

    I just updated on an android device... I see the noted updates. On another note, has anyone else noticed the apparent limit on the number of times you can remote start/climate using the app?
  8. Battery Preconditioning.

    I'd like this too, if I were to get the Google maps update.
  9. Battery Preconditioning.

    I apologize if this has already been addressed in this thread, but my question is... If the only way we currently have to precondition the battery for charging is through navigating to a DCFC and I decide NOT to purchase a third rate product (the Ford navigation). How will I precondition my...
  10. Not getting software updates, how do owners know if something is wrong?

    I do have my truck connected to my WIFI and plug it in once or twice weekly depending on the amount of traveling I do. I have done a reset of the Sync System, BUT I have never disconnected the power from the 12 volt battery as a reset. I'll give that a shot...
  11. Not getting software updates, how do owners know if something is wrong?

    Agreed, it can be complicated, especially given the testing but in 3 years, you'd hope there are some lessons learned. For instance, one I've seen on this forum, is better release notes. Just provide an explanation of what it is we're getting. That would be an easy win. Another question with...
  12. Not getting software updates, how do owners know if something is wrong?

    @Ford Motor Company I love my '23 MY Lightening, I've been able to do everything that I thought I would be able to do with it based on how I spec'd it out. My one true concern is that I have read your announcements, on this forum regarding software updates but have not received an update in...
  13. 18" Michelin Defenders on 2022 Lightning Pro wheels

    I'm actually on the first road trip (235 miles) since getting them. Temperature during the drive was approximately 45 degrees, I averaged 70 mph, not a whole lot of wind, and got 1.7 - 1.8 mi/kwh. I started the trip fully charged the GOM, showed 320 miles of range @ 100 %. When I arrived, I...
  14. 18" Michelin Defenders on 2022 Lightning Pro wheels

    You would have sacrificed on efficiency at minimum, I went with the Cooper Discover Road and Trial AT. Nice tire, looks great on the truck, minimal road noise BUT major loss in efficiency. Plus add the cold weather now and uuugh! I'm monitoring for tires because I've come to the conclusion...
  15. Connected Built-in Navigation Renewal

    I agree with your statement here but that IF seems to be huge at this time. I haven't received any updates in months. I've read about this update thanks to this forum but haven't seen it come through...
  16. New Wheels and Tires: Black Rhino + Open Country AT 3 EV Tires

    I've had them for less than a week but the efficiency drop is noticeable. Before, highway speeds between 65-70, my efficiency would be between 2.0-2.2 mi/kwh. Over the last few days, I've noticed that I'm averaging 1.7 - 1.9 mi/kwh, rarely touching 2.0.
  17. New Wheels and Tires: Black Rhino + Open Country AT 3 EV Tires

    I just replaced with Cooper Discoverer Road + Trail AT 275/60/20 after 40k miles. I love the tires and how they look on the truck but WHOLLY, it looks like I'm taking a 12%-15% hit on efficiency. I'm thinking these will only be my winter tires. I can't afford that hit when I'm towing my rv.
  18. Would You Buy A Lightning Again?

    Absolutely! Reading the other comments, I have to agree that range of 500 miles and software updates would be the data points that will make my decision of changing in the next 5 years or so... My hope is that battery technology will have matured to easily provide 500 miles of range and Ford...
