  1. HV battery range seems very low after AC charging

    The miles versus the percentage is always a calculated value, based on latest miles/kw, ambient temperature and probably other things. So, if you were last towing (meaning miles/kw were low) then the calculated miles range will most likely be low. So, once you know your vehicle, just concentrate...
  2. Is Anybody Happy With Their Lightning?

    My 23 Lightning will be 1 year old in November and now has 24k miles on it, and I have no regrets what so ever. Any person not liking a Lightning would most likely not like any EV. My Lightning has been back to dealership for a couple warranty issues, that were taken care of.
  3. Is Anybody Happy With Their Lightning?

    Whatā€™s not to love! My Lightning will be a year old in November and it has 23k miles on it. It replaced my minivan and my full size truck. The only thing I miss is the 8 ft truck bed. And my Mach E is 26 months old and it has 53k miles on it. But EVs are not for everyone, you donā€™t go on a 1,500...
  4. Charging Apps Question

    A couple aps fcomes in handy, but it is sensible to keep it at a minimum. I tend to default to EA and Tesla, so to do a little Pre-trip planning, I can look at the EA ap and then look at the Tesla Ap, (in my living room) before a trip. Also the Plug share Ap filters are handy. Plug share is also...
  5. Red pull tab near left driver’s foot.

    Thanks, I suspected something like that. I will try pulling it a little harder. I miss the old paper manuals šŸ˜Š
  6. Red pull tab near left driver’s foot.

    After 23k miles and 11 months of owning my 23 Lightning XLT ER I have yet to figure out the purpose of the red pull tab near where a hood release normally would be. I have pulled it and nothing happened. Does anyone know?
  7. First big trip in Lariat ER

    You might want to also get a level 2 Tesla to generic Ev adapter. Many hotels have free Tesla level 2 chargers, but you need an adapter and the Level 3 adapter wonā€™t work.
  8. How do I fold down drivers side rear seat ?

    I routed a string through the latch and pulled the string up to the top of the seat back. Works fine spent nothing.
  9. 23 Lightning Service vehicle soon issue

    I had (am having) the exact scenario and have chosen to ignore the wrench for now! I keep looking for a simple diagnostic tool that I can use to do some diagnostics, but so far havenā€™t found anything. Usually, the wrench goes away a day later! The closest dealer is 30 mileā€™s away. The one time...
  10. Location of Garage Door Opener?

    Yea, I bought a 23 XLT ER off the lot and I felt so . . . . let down when I realized it didn't have a garage door opener. It has a power tailgate and frunk, but no garage door opener. Does this make any sense? I assumed a garage door opener was so so basic.
  11. Most USA dealers don't like selling EVs

    The other thing is going to be service. If all vehicles were EV, their service bays would be empty. My MME at 50k has never been back to a dealer, and my Lightning at 20k Will hopefully be same! my goal is 200k, 2 sets of tires and 1 set of brake pads! But the other side is when they do brake...
  12. Any Words of Wisdom for a First time Road Tripper?

    On my recent trip from York Pa to Providence Town Ma, I opened Plug share on my laptop, used itā€™s filter to Select only class 3 chargers of specific providers, and then printed out the entire route. I had Tesla chargers on a separate print. It gave me the capability to just glance at the...
  13. Can’t ’plug and charge’ @ Supercharger

    The very first time I used my A2Z adapter I kept getting faults (I donā€™t remember the messages) and after several attempts, I finally figured out that the problem was that the Tesla cable end was not fully locked into the adapter. The thumb latch on the adapter had to be fully locked. Once I...
  14. Can't buy a vehicle if it is going to strand me

    The problem is there is so much negative publicity that it is hard to figure out what reality is. I own a 22 MME with 48k miles and a 23 Lightning with 19k miles with very little issues. But even when I was at the dealer the guy asked me how my tire wear was. I am having great tire wear...
  15. Bizarre key fob merge between 22 Mach E and 23 Lightning

    You are mostly correct, it must have been my phone that allowed me to start the Mach E when I forgot the key, but for the Lightning, my phone will unlock the doors and turn on the accessories, but the Lightning will not start. Message saying Key not detected appears! While the Mustang will...
  16. Bizarre key fob merge between 22 Mach E and 23 Lightning

    My phone is always on my hip, but start without key would only be enabled if I click Climate, which I did not do. I will continue investing. You taught me a lot. Thanks! I need to take a course in FordPass!šŸ˜Š
  17. Bizarre key fob merge between 22 Mach E and 23 Lightning

    You are so right about Climate. That name is so misleading. It does allow the car to start! Amazing! However, that does not explain how the truck Key can start the Mustang. Because if truck key is inside Mustang, the Mustang will start, if truck key is outside the Mustang the Mustang will not...
  18. Bizarre key fob merge between 22 Mach E and 23 Lightning

    Today I drove the Mach E to the drug store and while in the store I suddenly realized I didn't have the Mach E key in my pocket, but I did have my Lightning key in my pocket. I assumed the Mach E key must be somewhere in the car. I went out to the Mach E and pressed the button and the car...
  19. Got My First Thumbs Down [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    I just smile and say "You are going to own one some day and you are going to like it."
  20. F-150 Lightning powering house after tornado power outage

    Wow, this story is identical to my story, I even have a white E Mustang and Blue/Black Lightning. The only difference is, my first power outage was only for about 6 hours. I also questioned why I had to have the truck fully on and also had to disconnect the ground to get the truck to prevent the...
