Figured I’d post this article here about ICE F150 gas prices to make ourselves feel good.

Strange to hear because I also had no problems driving through about 12-14 inches of unplowed snow, but with Blizzak snow tires on. Momentum certainly helps but at least in my own experience I’ve never driven a vehicle that chewed through snow like the Lightning does.

Sounds like they’re taking a thorough look at everything which is good.

I’m going to jinx myself here but the 12v on my 2023 has been fine. I drive my truck every day though so it rarely sits. And I don’t leave any accessories plugged in when the truck is off except for the FITCAMX dashcam, but that’s connected to the rear view mirror power which shuts down when the...

This sounds familiar.

I’m curious what the lease buy out prices are for folks who have a 2 or 3 year lease ending soon. I have to imagine it’s probably about $10k higher than what a used Lightning of the same trim and mileage would go for? Are the buyout prices negotiable when you go to turn it in? I’ve not leased a...

What is PTS? I also just signed up for a Granger plan last week and their confirmation email warned me that I probably won’t be able to see the ESP in the FordPass app nor on the ford.com account site. Which is frustrating Ford issue. So if anyone knows of a way I can see it is active online...

I lived through this with my old Saab. Not only did they stop making that model, the entire company went out of business. All dealers closed. And yet I was still able to get parts for many years.

Maybe not news to this forum but there’s apparently a lot of leased EVs hitting the market soon. I wonder how many of these will be Lightnings. https://www.autoblog.com/news/the-flood-of-cheap-used-evs-will-cost-car-companies-billions

The 100 - 150mi towing distance between charges sounds correct and for some people that can be a deal breaker. But for almost everything else, you can’t beat the Lightning in my opinion. It is a great time to buy used.

Question on the simple breaker and interlock style approach. How does the Lightning play nicely with the bonded panel when the Lightning itself is also a GFCI bonded neutral generator? Do you have to do anything special or does it just work?

I’ve learned that this is unfortunately due to the architecture of the whole vehicle. Instead of having a central computer (like Tesla or your iPhone) Fords are made up of dozens of separate “computers” (ECUs) all made by different manufacturers with their own computer code on them. From a...

Agreed. In about 3 months Americans will forgot all this happened and the EV haters will rise again. lol.

I read through this lengthy thread but I’m still uncertain about what wire gauge I’d be allowed to use with the Ford Charge Station Pro when I’m derating it. If I want to set it to 64amps I’d probably still use 3awg copper with an 80amp breaker. But if I wanted to set it 48amps with a 60amp...

So it looks like they do indeed do a coolant flush when they replace the heater according to the 2 gallons line item.

On the website to sign up, there's an option for $60 additional dollars that says it covers the following: Interior / Exterior Lighting - $60 The interior/exterior lighting option provides repair or replacement for electrical failures on incandescent bulbs, halogen bulbs, High Intensity...

Something tells me Massachusetts will never approve this. Here’s to hoping! 🍺

Did they have any ideas on how the SOBDM got shorted out? Glad to hear the truck is fixed!

Really looking forward to this series! Agree with several others that the protective skid plate with side protection for the HV wire harnesses and the coolant lines would be my first thought. It’s too bad that Australian company isn’t responding. But fabricating that piece of metal can’t be that...
