  1. Android Auto Update?

    I switched back because it was useless with YouTube Music. It refused to switch apps to honor a request. "Play Stairway to Heaven" "Stairway to Heaven isn't available in Pocketcast" "I know this, dumb Google Assistant knows this, why don't you know this?" "Would you like me to discuss the...
  2. My turn - won’t charge past 83%

    Not on a three year old vehicle.
  3. Replacing Frunk Lamps - anyone done it?

    Judging by the number of tail lights for sale on eBay I'd say they make it a little too easy to change light bulbs.😁
  4. Replacing Frunk Lamps - anyone done it?

    Did your lights ever quit working?
  5. My turn - won’t charge past 83%

    I drove mine all summer trying to figure out the exact same issue you have. If there is a functioning truck sitting at a dealership you are making a choice not to drive it. I don't understand this choice. If it's broken there's not much to figure out. Do you still have a loaner?
  6. My turn - won’t charge past 83%

    It's been in service for a month? Didn't it run when you dropped it off? If it still runs, pick it up and drive it until they have parts.
  7. Replacing Frunk Lamps - anyone done it?

    Unless you can get it replaced under warranty, don't bother, it will dry up. I've noticed water in both of mine from time to time, they've always dried up and still work.
  8. Ford Skunkworks (EVDC) visit - behind the scenes look & report

    Yes, and I win the bet. Zero chance there's a real vehicle you can buy for $30k or less. Over promise and under deliver, it's terrible business.
  9. Ford Skunkworks (EVDC) visit - behind the scenes look & report

    I don't understand why automakers hype products so far in advance of availability. It's not just Ford, they all do it. Any excitement felt now will be long gone by the time this vehicle is available. They've been tossing around the $30k figure too. If there's a $30,000 Ford EV truck I will buy...
  10. Thinking about changing the color of my factory wheels.

    The darker silver is my preference. I really like bronze but the large flat surfaces of the Lightning wheels don't work as well as a lattice or thin spoke wheel. Dark accents might help.
  11. Front bumper motorized shutters function?

    Has anyone reported negative effects of debris in there? Mine seems to be self clearing.
  12. Cancelled Ford EV three row design leaked

    If you squint...
  13. What’s your next BEV Pickup?

    If I were to get some extra space I'd consider getting a fun car and keeping the truck around for truck stuff. I do a fair amount of truck stuff but a lot of the driving I do could be accomplished by a GT350 or a C6 Z06. If extra space isn't in the cards and I was looking at a new EV truck with...
  14. My turn - won’t charge past 83%

    I've had this issue. Here's my advice based on my experience. Print out the SSM that @bmwhitetx linked above and insist that they do the battery module health check mentioned in the document. My dealership couldn't find the SSM in the system and tried everything else before they decided to run...
  15. How often to charge to 100%?

    I recommend charging to 100% before you actually need it. There is battery module failure that has no indications except that it the SOC immediately goes to about 87% after start. If you never charge higher than 87% you will never detect the failure. I charge to 85% or 90% daily depending on...
  16. New GenerLink option (TN, and Utah)

    I have DTE but didn’t know this option existed. It’s a terrible option and I won’t be looking any farther into it, but given the fact I have a separate meter on an EV charging only plan and they haven’t bothered to send me any information on it, I suspect they actually have no interest in...
  17. Rear cabin vents (behind rear seats)

    That needs to be replaced. @Tired Lizard posted a video above. This is an easy fix for someone who has a tractor as his profile picture.
  18. Has anyone downgraded from 22" Platinum wheels/tires to 20" Lariat wheels/tires

    I swap between Platinum and Lariat wheels. The difference in ride and range is negligible. The stock Lariat tires were wearing faster than the Platinum so I left the 22s on this winter. I've grown to appreciate the Platinum wheels more over the years. I'd probably sell my Lariat wheels and...
  19. Ford CEO Jim Farley Totally Regrets Ford F150 Lightning Pickup

    I mean, Ford quality isn't exactly top notch, but Farley is upset because he sold you a truck for about half of what it cost him.
