My Dad isn't around to ask anymore but I suspect the shift linkage was terrible from the factory. I know he carried a screw driver with him. I also know it was a Chevrolet but had a GMC dash installed new and the fenders started rusting before it left the lot.

Assuming all Lightnings have been scrapped: RapterR. I don't want less horsepower.

My Dad was an expert shifter of his column shift Chevy. My mom? Not so much.😂

There is no wrong answer. It's a truck that was designed for all conditions. Plug it in if you want. Leave it unplugged if there are roving gangs of EV charger thieves in your area. I frequently leave my truck unplugged in an airport parking lot in all weather conditions. The biggest threat is...

No frunking way! What the frunk are you talking about! We want the frunk, gotta have that frunk!

Do you think Lightning is still around if the administration didn't do all the things I've cited?

Eliminating tax incentives, CAFE standard rollbacks, eliminating penalties for companies that don't meet emission standards, withholding EV charging infrastructure funds, rescinding California's ability to set it's own standards, reorienting national priorities around fossil fuels and nuclear...

Ford has lost over $100,000 on each MachE and Lightning it sold. I think instead of telling them they should keep doing that we should just say, thank you. Thank you, @Ford Motor Company

You are pretty close. A parking pawl interacts with a gear to lock the transmission. On anything but perfectly flat ground the truck will settle a few inches forward or backward depending on grade. I deal with this by holding the brakes while shifting to Park and slowly releasing them so it...

Wrong: A political regime that promised the oil industry anything it wanted in exchange for $1 billion in campaign funds.

Crazy! A similar thing happened to me... This morning on my way to work, I was stopped at a light and a Miata pulled up next to me. He looked over and had a stupid grin on his face. Normally I am proud to drive the Dodge Viper, but the truth be told, I felt a little wave of embarrassment flood...

This is a good point. I hadn't considered this because my truck has under seat storage which mitigates the problem. This doesn't really work when you want to warm up the back seat. In general, heat comes out the floor vents and cool air comes out the vents on the dash.

There are vents under the front seats. If Driver Focused is on it doesn't blow air through those vents. I run in Auto level 3 all the time. This is applicable for a 2022 so there might be a difference in a 2025.

5kWh over nine hours is the equivalent of five incandescent bulbs running the whole time. Do you think waking up the truck draws 500 watts continuously? That seems extremely high to me but I genuinely don't know.

I wouldn't assume you are being too conservative. A lightly loaded Lightning with the big battery is over 7,000lbs. That's about 2,000lbs more than a similarly loaded gas F150. When things go wrong in a Lightning it is harder to correct because there is A LOT more mass. The good news is they...

Gremlins of some sort. 4% equals about 5 kWh. There's no way you used 5 kWh in none hours without moving or having something plugged in. My best guess is you witnessed the extremes of the error rate in the battery percentage calculation. If the error rate is +/- 2% and the "actual" battery level...

In exchange for my frunk I have to do engine maintenance and stop at gas stations between tows to the dealership? If they pay me $2k/month and unlimited Ubers I'd consider it.

If it's not confident it makes you drive. Heavy rain, shallow sun angle, snow, fog, etc...these are all potential issues.

Theory: when the truck senses something hanging beyond the dimensions of the vehicle it disables driver assist features because those features are untested in those conditions.

You are interested in Lightning, which is an enthusiast vehicle. Enthusiasts post everything about their vehicle on the internet. New wheels? Post it! Lift kit? Post it! Crash? Post it! When someone crashes a Honda Odyssey it's not posted because nobody cares, including the owner of the Odyssey.
