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.

Don't overthink it. When you buy a used car you don't know how it was treated prior to you owning it. ICE vehicles can be abused too. I'd say the opportunity to abuse a 1000 mile vehicle is a lot lower than a 30000 mile vehicle. Shop for an EV the same way you shop for an ICE vehicle; look at...

Almost exclusively. I find the regular screen cluttered with superfluous information. When I want to see mpkWh I open and close Trip Energy on the center screen so it shows up as the first card at the bottom of Android Auto. Occasionally I check the battery temperature or tire pressures but I...

If vehicle reliability is your priority buy a Toyota. Reliability doesn't seem to be Ford's priority. I really like my truck so I'm keeping despite legitimate reliability concerns. I also have three Ford dealerships within 10 miles of my house which helps.

This is blowing my mind. I didn't realize it was possible to buy a car that has DRLs but not automatic headlights. I see morons driving around without lights but they are generally in shitty old cars.

You are not seeing DRLs at night. There is a special segment of the population that seems to think parking lights are for dusk and they leave them on until it's dark. Think of it as a signal to you to keep a wide berth.

What is the part that takes two months to get? You can have it shipped home. Sucks to eat the shipping bill but it also sucks to leave your car 10 hours away. Maybe Ford will pitch in. I wasn't able to get a loaner when my battery was replaced at a different dealership than where I purchased it.

No retrofits. I don't know what it would take to do it yourself but I bet it would not be worth the cost and effort verses buying a truck with the massaging seats. 2022 Platinums are the only year without deletes and before decontenting. They have bed scales, park assist, garage door opener...

It's a huge battery. Ideally, it's shipped at about 50%. It won't lose much SOC during the journey. There are parts diagrams specific to the year and model of your vehicle on fordparts.com. I have no clue what you have access to in Estonia. If you can't find parts diagrams keep asking.

Blue Cruise is great. I use it both directions every time I go to work. I'll see how much I miss it when it expires this spring. I can't see spending more on BlueCruise than I do on my phone though.

Devil's advocate: a buyback on a branded title becomes less an issue as time passes. It's not like an accident where you don't know if the frame is straight. For instance, if you go three years without issue, chances are you'll never have another issue. There will still be a branded title hit on...

Everything except the battery module replacement and wire harness issue were recalls. Battery module doesn't concern me at all. The wire harness issue is scary without a really good warranty. Some things to consider: Paying less now might not be as good a deal as it seems. The discount...

I did this. My truck lives outside and being able to pull to the side gives easier access to my charger, which runs under the garage door, and allows more space for my wife to pull out. If you need two feet, I recommend adding three or four. I ended up adding concrete twice because the first...

Well, that's it! I'm definitely not parking outside anymore!🤣

I agree with everyone above. Even if the Ford system worked exactly as advertised, it is useless when you no longer own a Lightning. A power inlet box and a neutral switching transfer switch is relatively inexpensive and maintains the GFCI protection provided by the truck. A power inlet box...

This is not a universal human trait. With a basic understanding of statistics and probably, we can feel at peace riding on an airplane or parking our EV indoors.

The amount of pressure required to open my charge port door makes me think there is something else going on with yours other than pressure from the car wash. It takes a firm press with my palm to open mine. Speculation: there's ice jammed in the latch preventing it from seating completely.

This is what insurance is for. It isn't an airliner that went up in flames, it's a personal passenger vehicle. An insurance adjuster will look at one photo and determine it's a total loss and pay the claimant. There's no reason to do any more investigation over $50,000 or $60,000. I hope @b.go...

I use the Bluetooth Controls button. I don't carry a fob. My truck will open the frunk while locked if it senses my phone but it is often slow to recognize the phone and takes multiple button pushes and/or removing the phone from my pocket. If I have to remove my phone from my pocket I'd rather...

That's been mentioned. Driving 70 miles and measuring the truck in person isn't going to clear that issue up at all.
