Watts are watts. You are 100% correct, but AC and DC motors have very different torque curves and hugely different inrush current demands depending on the full load voltage/current requirements to achieve max instantaneous torque, which could easily overwhelm, stall, and overheat certain motors...

You're right in line with expectations and what I'm seeing at 16K miles. The EPA tells you that the range tests are not meant to demonstrate real world conditions. They don't. So they will never be accurate. As always, your mileage may vary, but there is no negligence by Ford or any other EV...

There is nothing wrong with your battery and nothing your dealer can or will do. The truck generates range and power usage estimates based on a number of factors and it is almost useless when the truck is brand new. As with any vehicle, your range depends on how YOU drive it and maintain it...

I've got 16,000 miles and several very long trips on my 2023 F-150 Lightning Lariat and my grille camera is in pristine condition. I've had to have my windshield repaired due to a rock chip so I've had road debris problems. I don't think this is posted more commonly because I don't think the...

I have to imagine these are gas blow out disc's. Normally totally sealed. Once pressure exceeds a set limit inside the sealed pack the seals blow out/pop releasing pressure in a controlled manner. Once they do, they will not be water or air tight but in that scenario, you likely don't care...

@Ford Motor ComFord please bring the pre-conditioning for DC fast charging to Apple maps and iOS users also! I love using my Maps app for long trips. Thanks!

I'm a power engineer and have done a lot of work with a lot of batteries over the years. All kinds of weird ones for undersea vehicles, etc. I understand your fears, but given how many miles you've made it with your current battery and the fact that battery costs will be going down over time, I...

I've been using it since January 2024 and have not had any issues. The built-in BMS is entirely separate from the truck's BMS, so they don't talk, and there aren't any problems. Both are working. I know many people have thoughts (positive and negative, no pun intended) on the OHMMU battery. So...

Okay, guys... shoot me now because this is an expensive option for a simple problem (I carry a toolbox in the truck for emergencies and have learned over the years to have a 10mm socket and odd smaller socket sizes in my Ford trucks). Still, I bought an OHMMU battery to replace the AGM in the...

Thanks for sharing that information. I can only speak for the Lightnings I've seen personally, and not being an EV mechanic, my sample size is limited! I love this forum because I'm always made smarter by coming here.

I'm excited to see what this program brings to the Ford Electric Vehicle community. I love my F150 Lightning, and anything you can do to make that experience even better is icing on the cake. Please keep this going, keep improving, and bring electrification to more of your vehicles. I'm looking...

It's usually black.

I can't say enough good things about my Lightning. I've owned three F-150 ICE trucks before this one, and not only is this my favorite F-150, but it's my favorite vehicle I've ever owned. Full disclosure, I don't trade in my trucks until they are either very high mileage or closing in on 10...

Just got my 6.5.0 today also!

I have the Ceramic Pro Ultimate Armor package which guarantees your finish for life. It provides PPF+Ceramic on the front of the truck and ceramic coating on the rest of the truck+glass+wheels. I also had nano-ceramic window tint added to cut down on summer heating in the cab. This is my second...

Have you been able to use Blue Cruise? I was under the impression it would not work if you do this. I put in the Eibach Pro shocks but kept to the original ride height and haven't put in the springs. It made driving on and off-road much less bumpy and reduced sway during turns as well. I'm very...

I have no issues with being tracked or sharing my data with Ford. Especially if it makes these features better and safer. You share your location data so many times a day whether you know it or not via your IP address when you login or use your home computer, via your phone, your credit card...

Cue the Titanic theme song and a cyber truck hitting a truck hauling ice while using self driving mode...

I have both of them myself and agree 100% with Rick. The A2Z adapters work great. And super fast!

It is worth noting that in EV and vehicle batteries, when your displayed SoC is 100% charged, the actual battery is not close to 100% of its actual charge capacity. The ultimate reason for this is safety and the fact that battery manufacturing is still not a highly reliable/repeatable and...
