Anyone else unable to lock/unlock, or set charge limit when charging, while at the same time using pro-power with the truck off?

Thank you Ford- love this feature!

How odd. I went to configure and got this: https://shop.ford.com/configure/f150-lightning/config/paint/Config%255B%257CFord%257CF-150%2520Lightning%257C2025%257C1%257C1.%257C110A.W1B..PA3...99M.479.17V.772.~SE%2523JV_YZBAD.%255D

"Ford's decision to reopen order books for the F-150 Lightning while simultaneously raising prices is one of those moves that reveals a lot about where the EV market actually stands — as opposed to where the press releases suggest it is."...

There are many assumptions being made, based on what seems pretty reasonable information. That being said, there are many assumptions being made here...

If you've gotten a standard range, you can still put in an extended range battery, no updates necessary. It will just work according to someone that has done here previously. Looking on eBay, I see a used one with 40,000 miles on it for five grand. Apologies for any speech or grammar errors...

Interesting. Although I'm not sure it's safe to assume the European schematic is the same? As I understand, the 230v in Europe is more akin to the 120v here (a single 230v hot and a neutral). I have no idea if they're doing the 230v with a single 230 and a neutral, or two 115's. if it's a 4...

Look on eBay for one out of a totaled lightning. The battery from Ford is exorbitantly priced if I recall correctly.

230v yes, but still only 2.4 Kw

I just bought the same one (OBD MX-plus) well. After initial disappointment, my opinion has changed 100%. Having never used a b/t scanner and app, was not at all familiar with how it works. (I downloaded car-scanner), it would not connect. Changed setting from wi-fi to b/t and it started...

Is it worth the trouble? Level 1 charging, depending on the temp, you can watch glaciers move faster. I'm assuming you're staying at the same hotel multiple days?

Sort of yes. Sort of no. You get a single 7.2KW 240 output (NEMA 30) You also get several 120v 20Amp outlets for a grand total of 9.6KW that can run simultaneously.

I certainly hope so, but I'm not sure anyone can give a definitive answer to a new vehicle with a new battery, and new electric motors that we only have 4-5 years of limited data. Frankly, I don't think the battery is going to be the issue that most people think. There will be failures, and...

Extrapolate your battery percentage, to kilowatt hours on the battery, from there you can math out your actual kilowatt hours per mile. EDIT: Wanted to add, on my real world experience. Just like fuel gauges are not accurate, I'm not entirely sure the battery percentage indicator is either...

I don't believe any suspension is touched while removing the battery. That being said, I've never personally done it or witnessed it.

Terrific write up. I live is S Florida, where snow is seen as often as Bigfoot, yet still found your review interesting, thorough, and informative

I would avoid. Too many unknowns. Better options out there

Mine started doing that. 12 V battery tested fine. I asked ford to replace the 12 V battery anyway, they did, and it went away.

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....
