    I keep a spreadsheet for my Lariat ER tracking the date of charge, miles driven since last charge and kWh added. My calculated mi/kWh at different ambient temperatures is pretty close to the values in your matrix.

  7. Powertrain Malfunction/ Reduced Power

    Quoting CSP23B57: “Less than 4% of the affected vehicle population is expected to require one or more high voltage battery modules needing to be replaced.” The key words to my way of thinking are “or more”. Replacing one module with a cell gone bad is not a guarantee that you will not have...

    I received the same email from Ford this morning. My adapter reservation number was about #1200 and I received it in June. So can I continue to use my Ford supplied adapter until the replacement arrives, of should I discontinue its use?
  10. New BlueCruise Version 1.4 -- Smoother, More Natural Hands-Free Highway Drive Experience (9/26/24)

  13. Traveling with Apple Maps (possibly Ford/others) Question

    I recently took my first long distance road trip in the Lightning, a 1650 mile trip from central NH to Dearborn, MI and return. First, I gamed out the trip using PlugShare, determining primary charging stops, and where we would spend the night along the way. I also determined back up charging...
  14. Tesla Charging Station Cable Length Issues!

    On the road and stopped last night in Batavia, NY. Used the Tesla SC station at 8:45 pm. It’s a big 12 fast charger station, all in a single row on the edge of large shopping center parking lot. Had to park the Lightning perpendicular to the last charger on the left. Fortunately, there was...
  15. Would a Lightning address my issues with the MachE? and other newbie questions

    I cannot speak to a MME. I have had a Lightning ER for just over a year, it is my only personal vehicle. I am on my first long road trip and I find the ride very good. The significant other likes the back seat where she can stretch out and go to sleep. The 360 cameras help me get into tight...
  16. Software Update 6.14.0 - Sync Update Ver 23306 Revision: 1076

    I received this update around noon today. ‘22 Lariat ER, not EAP. I figured I got this because I am in Dearborn for Old Car Festival, surrounded by FMC facilities. But after reading this thread, I guess not. Just glad to have it. Thanks FMC!
  17. Potential Ford Lightning Buyer. Would love to hear your advice.

    My ‘22 Lariat ER was a loaded early production dealer mannequin that I bought with 5k miles on it a year ago. It has the max trailer tow package, spray in bed liner, tri-fold bed cover and mud flaps. I like using Blue Cruise when driving on interstates. It’s a very comfortable vehicle to...
