Does ACC not turn off when you tap the brakes? I thought this was how it worked on my Fusion, but I haven't done much driving in my Lightning, so maybe they changed it?

And it's only compounded by the amount of instant torque that EV's have compared to most (not all) ICE vehicles.

If there was a Chevy involved it could have been the punchline to a good joke. A Ford a Dodge and Chevy walked into a bar...

Yeah I get how hydraulic brakes works, just thought it was odd because I've never experienced the issue with the two ICE F-150s I've owned previously, or any other vehicle for that matter and I've been driving for awhile. I figured with regenerative braking there may be a way for "issues" to...

Lightning did those few cars a solid though, saved them $7.00 for a car wash! :LOL: On a serious note, I wonder if they experienced what I have a few times. I've had two separate instances where I've stepped on the brake and the truck did not slow down as expected, it stuttered almost like ABS...

Which is why I wanted to bring it to the attention of the op. Yeah I've seen the video a few times. That's exactly the reason why I posted it, so the op wouldn't end up in the same situation as the poor man in the video.

I'm with you on the seats, would be really nice of @Ford Motor Company to offer a trade in program. I'd be willing to pay the $300 plus labor to have them swapped.

As soon as I read disconnect and aluminum, first thing I thought of was Tom's video. "Dangerous Disconnect: Tesla Home Charging Problem Analyzed And Corrected"

I always just thought this was a Ford thing, my 2017 Ford Fusion was the same way. Center console vents were stronger than the ones closer to the doors.

I don't think it's necessarily backwards. Tom points out that you have to push in the bottom tab in his State of Charge review of the Lectron, time stamp is 13:28. Still a pretty concerning issue though.

Thanks for that note. I was able to find the article on SwRI's public site. Is the report available for public release? I work in cyber security for a not-for-profit and was wondering if you'd be able to send me the report if I pm you my work email?

Yeah their link to infrastructure was a little flimsy and that's why I was saying it was a bit sensationalized. I was thinking the same thing when they were talking about power surges. If a car is fully charged or can't handle a higher rate, I'm not sure if that's something the charger can...

It's a little sensationalized, but interesting none the less. Makes me want to take apart my FCSP and poke around.

I don't think they can? I don't recall the numbers off hand but basically from what I recall reading on the forums, the max current of the onboard charger combined with the battery voltage won't let the battery charge over a certain wattage. Other vendors have achieved faster charge rates by...

I got the warning as well, but was in a bit of a hurry so I didn't have any time to look at it. Also it didn't seem like there was any other option other than to acknowledge it? I checked for updates and of course there were none, so I'm not really sure what it was complaining about if there's...

Looks very nice! I thought a lot about getting a black F-150 but ultimately in Florida I felt like it was just going to be a giant heat magnet. I do prefer black vehicles though, had a Civic that was black and an F-150 that was black. Those wheels and tires like awesome though. I think you...

My guess is that it has more regen than normal mode. If you're in sport mode at highway speeds and take your foot off the gas, the truck slows down much more aggressively compared to normal mode.

To clarify, it's not an adapter limitation. There's no brains inside it that will prevent one vehicle from charging vs another. Currently, the Tesla charger communicates directly with the vehicle and determines if the vehicle is authorized to charge there. So if Tesla hasn't authorized specific...

I got the same yellow adapter with my 2023 Lightning.
