  1. Winter is here! Heat pump comparison tests?

    Theoretically, yes. However, during the hot months, the A/C didn't buzz like this so I am thinking it may be a separate system? I really don't know.
  2. Winter is here! Heat pump comparison tests?

    What I can say is the heat pump is a bit noisy and has vibrations you can feel in the steering wheel and center console. Mildly annoying. I had a 2023 XLT ER and I can't say I am seeing much efficiency boost from the heat pump, if anything, right now. Perhaps when it gets colder here.
  3. Is this power reduction normal?

    Perfect and thank you for assuaging my fear. I will consider it normal now. Even at 90% power, this truck has more than enough.
  4. Is this power reduction normal?

    That's a good point. I will keep an eye on it. I do expect a power reduction when cold -- that's battery chemistry in action -- but wasn't sure what was normal with this truck.
  5. Is this power reduction normal?

    Hmmmm... the battery temperature gauge shows right in the middle. I didn't see this issue with my 2023 XLT ER in similar conditions.
  6. Is this power reduction normal?

    I have a 2024 Flash and bought it back in July. Until this morning, I have never seen the maximum power be reduced from 100%. Today it is down to 91%. I have run the vehicle down below 42% SoC before this without losing maximum power. It was somewhat chilly this morning -- around 38F -- but...
  7. 2024 Flash - heat pump noise/vibration?

    My initial thoughts given the current temperatures is that the heat pump isn't making much difference right now. Temps are in the low 40s currently, but will get cooler as we approach winter.
  8. 2024 Flash - heat pump noise/vibration?

    Now that the cold has arrived, I have noticed that I can hear and feel a vibration from under the frunk area when demanding cabin heating. This was not something I noticed on my 2023 XLT ER, so I assume it's coming from the heat pump. Seems fairly noisy to me, but wondered what others thought...
  9. Why Doesn’t Ford Lock the EVSE Plug Like Rivian?

    I don't want it to lock the cord while charging on AC at my house. If you want a lock, it should be user-selectable option and not one or the other.
  10. Pre-collision assist error message with 2024 Flash

    Just a follow-up question on this: does anyone know if the front windshield camera is supposed to be hermetically sealed against the glass or is air allowed to freely move in and out of the camera lens area?
  11. Pre-collision assist error message with 2024 Flash

    I purchased my 2024 Flash back in July. As the weather has been getting colder in my area, I have seen the pictured error messages show up. Yesterday was particularly cold and I actually noticed there is condensation on the inside of the windshield between the glass and the windshield camera...
  12. Help: Can't Decide - Tire Replacements

    Thanks for the feedback! For what it's worth, I am looking at going with 265/70/18s and not the 275/70/18s because the 265/70s are 4-ply standard-load (load rating 116, which matches the 20" tires). I suspect the E-rated tires on your truck are one of the reasons for the efficiency drop on top...
  13. Help: Can't Decide - Tire Replacements

    I am looking at these tires as well. Are yours mounted on 18" wheels? What about noise and efficiency differences vs stock tires?
  14. FordPass 5.6.0 iOS & Android

    I already had tried this once. Tried is again, unfortunately it did not work. The app programmers are absolutely terrible today. They apparently do zero testing of their code.
  15. FordPass 5.6.0 iOS & Android

    Just got the 5.6 update today on Android. Well, the Location feature is now broken and doesn't do anything when I tap it. It used to show a map of where the truck is. Are others having this same problem with 5.6?
  16. Wheel Offsets - I Need Help Understanding / Fact Checking

    The offset of the Lightning 20" wheels is +44mm, not +40mm.
  17. Chevrolet announces 2025 Silverado EV range and price

    I drove a WT4 model a few months ago and was not impressed by the Silverado. There was a lot more road noise and the seat wasn't comfortable. And for the $80k they were asking back then, it didn't even come with a heated steering wheel. When I got back in my Lightning, it was a much nicer...
  18. Would 18x7.5 steel rims work on lightning?

    Considering that the Pro comes with factory 18" wheels, I don't think there is a diameter problem with 18" wheels on the Lightning.
  19. Is Anybody Happy With Their Lightning?

    A few months ago, I completed the buyback of my 2023 XLT ER with Ford. The process went smoothly and I entered the market again for another EV thinking I would get something other than another Lightning. I looked at and test drove several different competitor EVs (Silverado EV, Honda Prolouge...
  20. Ford Resumes Shipping Fast Charging Adapters (Sept. 2024 batch)

    Received mine today (order 14342 placed on 2/29/2024)! Thanks Ford! :)
