  1. Lately, the beeps in my '23 Lightning have sounded different... why?

    Ford told me the same thing. Then they replaced the 12v battery after nothing else worked, and the problems vanished. Beeps back through Audi system....
  2. How to Increase Wireless Apple CarPlay Reliability?

    Are you certain of this? Mine dos not. I had the same issue as you until it dawned on me that it only happened when I walked away and came back with the truck still on. Simply hitting a couple buttons on the infotainment has saved me much frustration. I have the smaller screen, maybe they're...
  3. How to Increase Wireless Apple CarPlay Reliability?

    If you have walked away from the truck, and it has disconnected, when you walk back to the truck, it will not reconnect on its own. The remedy, after you have walked back to the truck and are disconnected, before you put it in park and go, hit apps, Apple CarPlay, then hit the little button to...
  4. How to Increase Wireless Apple CarPlay Reliability?

    Do you ever walk out of the truck with your phone in pocket with the truck still on? It will have trouble re- establishing CarPlay if you walk far enough away to disconnect, then walk back into range.
  5. Manual Transfer Switch

    I just installed a double throw transfer switch to the main panel, and flip the individual circuits I want energized manually. Much simpler.
  6. Ford's Solution for keep building the Lightning

    This doesn't sound likely... I'd take it with a grain of salt until proven otherwise
  7. Footprint of 131Kwh battery vs 98 kw battery

    No, he didn't. As I understand it, the dual onboard chargers were just for a couple years, and just A/C. So it would only affect 80 Amp Ford CSP units on model year 2023 and 2022. Which if we're being honest, loosing the 80Amp Ford CSP isn't a big loss 🤭 not entirely sure about the DC Fast...
  8. Footprint of 131Kwh battery vs 98 kw battery

    Did you see the thread where a member just swapped his SR for an ER battery he bought on eBay? Perfect fit. He didn't even need to program the truck- it recognized and added the appropriate kWh'rs to his range.
  9. Pro Power Onboard now available on FordPass app

    After feeling left out for months, finally seeing Pro-Power back in the app! Thanks Ford!
  10. 2nd Choice

    A GM/Chevy of course, it's really the only other player. And that battery is magnificent.
  11. Top 3 lists: what went wrong and right

    Unfortunately, no. I think the price, and lack of towing capability is what ultimately led to it's demise. I also feel it's the best F150 Ford has ever made. It's only a matter of time before the Lighting is back.
  12. Top 3 lists: what went wrong and right

    So ev's are only successful if the government uses taxpayer funds as subsidy incentives? And even then only temporarily. To be successful- people have to buy them. Oil industry subsidies are a bit different- typically reductions in tax rates to arrive at dollar figure "subsidies'l ie an oil...
  13. Top 3 lists: what went wrong and right

    How did that prevent people from buying the lightning? Even with subsidies, it didn't sell. Are you saying the current administration forced Ford to cancel the lightning? 1 Billion seems a lot less than the 19.5 billion they lost investing in Lightning. How did the admin force Ford to cancel...
  14. Top 3 lists: what went wrong and right

    It's simple. It's a truck that can't tow. It loses too much range in the cold. The software isn't great. Yet, if you don't tow, and can charge at home, it's the finest truck you can buy, in my humble opinion. The standard range battery should not exist. The long range battery should be the...
  15. Windshield wipers completely stopped responding.

    It seems as though we have (had) different issues. My wiper motor was simply non- responsive- it wouldn't even throw fluid. Very glad you found the source as well as a solution.
  16. Someone upgraded a SR to an ER.

    Take a look at the link a few posts up. Someone here did it, and most answers are there. Yes, it read correctly. No reprogramming.
  17. Considering switching back to the Model X. Realistic private sale value for my 2024 Lightning Platinum?

    Terrific lists. Also, for the smaller screen, Ford has yet to add Netflix. How hard can it be? I could probably vibe code it for them and have no idea what I'm doing.
  18. SOLVED! Gauges showing white and red instead of green

    I think you're just in a different mode, probably sport.
  19. Important Update: Ford EV Roadmap & Future of F-150 Lightning (EREV Next Gen Model) - ⛔️ ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS

    Smart financial move. The lightning just isn't selling, no matter how great those who own one already know that it is. The range extender offers nothing that I'm looking for, but before I owned EV, and this was my first, it checks all the boxes. Charging on the road is awful, there are just...
  20. Important Update: Ford EV Roadmap & Future of F-150 Lightning (EREV Next Gen Model) - ⛔️ ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS

    Wall Street Journal article several weeks ago turned out to be accurate.
