  1. Curious why some do not use 1 pedal driving.

    Because my SO doesn't like it. If I turn it on, then she has to turn it off. LOL. On the other hand, when using BC, I like to push the envelope and speed up a bit when it backs off due to a car in my lane. If 1PD is on, as soon as you then release, you start to decelerate. Minor...
  2. Have you noticed... (lesser known features of our trucks)

    I love this. I had this in my two prior Mercedes SUVs, albeit there wasn't a physical shifter. But I love just turning off the truck and it making sure you are in park!
  3. PAAK - New Phone warning!

    /TLDR - I could have been locked out of my truck at the mall, after picking up my new iPhone So, I carry a physical key for the Lightning, but not the MachE. Both are set up for PAAK, which I love. I just can't make myself stop carrying a truck key. For years, when I travel for work, after I...
  4. Tesla engineer warns against using extension cords at Superchargers

    Much like I've complained for 40 years that some manufacturers put gas fills on the right side of the car, or "gasp", on the front fender!
  5. PTS/FDRS VIN Check Thread

    Can I get a fresh check, now that the embargo seems to be lifted? 1FT6W1EVXPWG42915
  6. Is Anybody Happy With Their Lightning?

    Yes No. Sorry, I wanted a brief answer and wrote the wrong.
  7. Air dam……. It

    It is a lease, so I had to fix it. Unscientifically, I noticed no performance difference.
  8. Air dam……. It

    I struck a moving recap at speed. Same damage. I removed the dam for several weeks with no issues, but had it all repaired under my comp insurance.
  9. Head-on collision in my Lightning Pro

    ... or, in MD at least 1 would be "high".
  10. EV Adoption by state (map)

    They literally drive them until the wheels fall off down there. I'd be curious to see what the average age of registered vehicles is per state, and how that map would compare.
  11. How often to run your ICE vehicle?

    I've got a classic BMW that sits most of the winter, but I take it out every 4-6 weeks for a quick run out on the highway and back. I check the air in the tires, and keep the fuel level high thorughout the winter. Nothing more needed.
  12. Ford has data on Pro-Power usage?

    Here's the article if anyone wants to read it; https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-weather/hurricanes/article/hurricane-beryl-power-updates-houston-heat-19563819.php#trucks-being-used-as-generators--161738
  13. Do you have to give up all your driver assist features when you attach a trailer?

    Did you safety features remain when towing with the Model S?
  14. Lightning Software Updates using FDRS

    Most software comes with a shrink-wrapped license. Meaning, you break the shrink-wrap, and the license is in full force, non-returnable. Even though this is a download, the same logic probably applies. You apply the key and open the software, it's yours.
  15. NTSB To Investigate Fatal Accident in San Antonio Involving Ford BlueCruise

    Interstate speed limits are (or at least were) supposed to be set at the 85th percentile of actual moving traffic. Instead, many are artificially set way below the safe speed that traffic actually moves. I can tell you the last time I saw a vehicle doing 55 on the Baltimore Beltway was also...
  16. ECU module programming guide using FDRS

    They ended up replacing the LVB and not needing to replace the IPMA. I'm curious for an update to see what they actually updated. They told me they had to update "several" modules, but the service writer didn't elaborate.
  17. ECU module programming guide using FDRS

    So I dropped my truck off for 23B57 and 23B70, along with an issue with a parking sensor. They told me that when doing the updates, it required other modules to be updated, and one of them failed to update and is now in failure mode needing replacement. I'm curious what my update list looks...
  18. Ford Pass/FCSP question

    Having bought two cars in the past 4 months, and updated a mortgage, I get an obscene amount of spam (physical) mail for warranties, loan protections, etc. So it's just not the connected data. As said above, they've been selling my data for years
  19. Car play works but Apple maps does not.

    From what I can discern, this sounds like an iPhone/CarPlay/Apple Maps issue. All the car does with CarPlay is display what is generated by iOS.
