  1. Snow Question

    Always normal or slippery mode for new trucks. I use 2 pd in snow/ice/slush so I can coast on decel. The traction control is fantastic, don't switch to diff lock or off road until you're stuck
  2. Is this tailgate behavior normal and expected (powered)?

    Yes, it's locked vs unlocked. Ford has many conditions for the electronic tailgate which is also used on regular f150s. I don't know the full list of and/or's but it's extensive. There is also a sleep timer so it won't immediately move when you try and lift it after some time.
  3. Stranded in Seattle Without Fast Charger

    98000kms with no major issues. Just did 750 kms today in the cold and snowy Canada. 5 dcfc sessions. 3 Tesla, 1 Chargepoint(Petrocanada) and 1 Ivy. That's all after my truck sat for a week in the cold. The LIGHTNING is the best truck ever.
  4. Google maps in route preconditioning not working

    I have found enroute preconditioning to be unnecessary in my cooler climate. I just pump the electrons to it.
  5. Lvl 3 charging error but lvl 1 & 2 work fine: Solved post #13 & 16

    Great info! At least you might be able to limp it along until the dealer can get the parts.
  6. Conflicting Codes

    Your dealer doesn't know how to recognize what are actual problem codes vs superfluous codes cause by the original failure. Troubleshooting is a learned skill.
  7. Lvl 3 charging error but lvl 1 & 2 work fine: Solved post #13 & 16

    Tldr Your lock pin actuator is either frozen or broken. Replacing that or the port(which includes the actuator) is the fix. That's the most common failure here. Could be other points of failure but good place to start when at the dealer.
  8. SOC vs Range

    Lol, yes, the lightning is incredibly more advanced than the ffe. However, don't trust the gom, use your current efficiency and soc to do your own calculations.
  9. How can I get into the truck if the physical lock is broken and the 12V battery is dead?

    Quick fix, Smash the right hand rear pax window. Probably the cheapest one. The doors are incredibly simple and f150. The lock and doors are manual on this truck, you have incredibly bad luck or aren't doing it correctly. Maybe a 3rd party locksmith can help?
  10. Ford Mobile Charger Issues

    There's a sensor and circuitry inside the dongle that I suspect is the cause. Mine is only used occasionally and still works but if it does fail I'll do a full teardown.
  11. Ford Mobile Charger Issues

    As I've suspected for some time now, the dongle is probably the problem. Nobody has even tried a new dongle but seeing as the dongle was carried over and still faulted I would look into that. Have you tried the 110v dongle?
  12. Lightning Charging Test at First True V4 Tesla Supercharger Open to Non-Teslas

    The cable actually reaches! I used one on Friday night, Parry Sound, Ontario. AND... it's in a mall parking lot with food options and some stores. Will be my go to from now on, as long as it isn't busy. The lightning doesn't charge fast enough to actually take advantage of the higher...
  13. U0594 / B1A01 - Front Motor Off - Stop Safety Warning

    😂 Snow is not an issue for this truck. You've got a drive problem in the front. It's possible you hit something buried in the snow or maybe an internal failure. The warnings, coupled with noise after being parked would lead me to have a look at the parking pawl. Definitely a trip to the dealer.
  14. 12v Battery Swelling

    The new one will also be "swollen". As long as it meets the spec it should be fine. You can have your dealer test it.
  15. Distance to destination on dash = 0kms

    It only recently showed up in gmaps but now doesn't show. It never showed for me in Waze.
  16. Toyo Open Country A/T 3 NON-EV

    17s will "fit" but the clearance to the brakes is too small. It is not recommended.
  17. Powertrain Malfunction Reduced Power Messages

    Call a dealer with your vin and ask them to look at the telemetric codes. Should point you in the right direction. A 230$ diagnostic fee for checking codes is insane, find another dealer.
  18. " off plug " message ??

    Adjust your settings as you should have a window and not just an end time. Double check in the truck screen as it will be the primary schedule.
  19. True? "You can charge a Ford Lightning with a generator by using its built-in Pro Power Onboard outlets (2.4kW or 9.6kW)"

    Pretty much every inverter ever produced will not back feed to the DC side. It's a basic protection to avoid very nasty consequences.
  20. BlueCruise and Fordpass Connectivity down?

    Bluecruise uses satellite data but acc shouldn't need connectivity. If your 12v is low and cold it won't connect either. If you plug in and charge you should get it back.
