What time does your charging session stop? I have found if the end of the charging session (target SOC) runs too close to the departure time, it prioritizes charging and since it knows it won't have enough time to prepare for departure and doesn't try. I don't get the errors you have...
You said you have an OBD2 dongle. Check the Quiescent amperage. This will tell you the average power the truck draws from the 12v when everything is supposed to be shut down. Normal numbers are around 30mA. Mine runs around 50mA because I have a dashcam that stays on for a short while after...
Yes, this is a great option if you need an EVSE. Essentially a free EVSE and a rebate on kWh used. I'd do it in a heartbeat if I didn't already have an installation.
There are many reasons why the 12v would get low enough to cause sleep mode. Short drives and driveway shuffles or simply opening the door can light up modules for a while drawing on the battery. A series of these events can be challenging. Also, short charge cycles of less than an hour to...
Ford won't be able to abandon EVs and survive as an automotive manufacturer. They will not have a viable business going forward if they do. They do, however, need to focus on building EVs on a platform that can be profitable and reliable. Hopefully, UEV is in that direction.
It is...
This too will pass..... So, didn't T3 mean "Trust The Truck"? So much for that.
I hope it passes before I wear out my 2023. I've had F150s for decades, but I'm not stepping backward. I may consider downsizing if the mid-size UEV proves itself, but probably not before I wear this one out...
Does other functions like Start Climate work? If so, that rules out connectivity as the issue. Even if the connectivity is down, this function should work on the truck even if it doesn't work on the App. The Onboard Charger handles the location scheduling and Target SOC. It sounds like...
No bubble burst here. Availability seems to be regional. We have no Lightnings at my local dealer and they've previously had 5-6 on the lot. To my north, there is 1 left at a dealer 20 miles away - they've always had 8-10 on the lot last year. To my South, there is a larger dealer 15 miles...
So, Ford Lightning production is shut down. They have none to sell..... There's that. Fully expected the drop. Restricting the supply will cause the demand to go up. When they start up production again, there will be demand. Smart move from a business perspective, given the...
Premium connectivity is not needed for Remote Climate Start. I do not have it, and remote climate start works fine. You may have a glitch with the connected services in general. Try going into Connected Service in the menu on the car, turn off all connected services and turn the ones you want...
The tread contact patch should be the same since they are about the same diameter and width. I'd start with 42psi and run it there.
If you want to be more precise, you can do a chalk test. It might be good if you run loaded all the time anyway.
This article explains it, but it is a bit of a...
I confirmed this morning that the BMS reset process still works on my 2023 Lariat ER. You never know exactly what is in the updates that get sent out and what they affect behind the scenes. I figured it wouldn't hurt to verify and confirm here.
Tire pressure difference is also interesting for a supposedly very similar truck with exactly the same size tires. I figured the Flash would be 42psi like other ERs carrying the extra battery weight.
Are other functions like SOC and Climate working on the App? Just want to rule out connectivity to the Ford servers. Sometimes the location charging piece doesn't work very well but it should always work in the truck.
You should report it anyway. @Ford Motor Company needs to know this happened and track it. Random acceleration is not ok. The only way they can find intermittent safety issues is by tracking every incident and the conditions that led up to it. They may not find your issue right away, and it...
If you go with a 9" wheel, the wheel will stick out about 6mm further outboard (and inboard) with the same offset as the factory wheel, which is 8.5" and the tire would be in the same location. It is, however, unlikely you'll find a 9" wheel with 44mm offset.
Figure out how much more outboard...
There are multiple posts of this happening when cruise control is activated, and the resume button gets touched unintentionally when turning the wheel. I've had it happen, and now I ALWAYS make sure I turn cruise fully off when driving around town.
