OP later that day..

Nice to see it’s fixed. I would also recommend putting in a quality memory card (like Samsung or similar) and ditch the one it came with if you haven’t done that already.

Yeah that’s frustrating to have zero explanation for what happened. The first thing that comes to mind is a weak 12v battery, which is surprisingly the cause of numerous EV issues.

Also just got this this morning. I was trying to use a public level 2 charger in town and the truck would keep refusing to handshake with the EVSE and stop the session. I got frustrated and started driving away and then I see the “update successful” message on the screen while driving. I then...

I guess my 2023 will just have to keep on rollin’

Curious if there’s a definitive part list out there of what’s considered “EV powertrain” for this reason. I agree that anything that has to cool or warm the HV battery is to me “Powertrain” but we’d need to know what the Ford lords say.

Is the PTC heater in a hard to reach location or basically under the frunk tub somewhere? Just wondering for years down the road (hopefully years) when I may have to DIY replace it. Does it also require a coolant flush when being replaced?

Do you have phone as a key (PAAK)? And if so, is there another phone paired to the truck (spouse) that is at home? The phone passing near the truck (50ft or less) will also trigger the lights to come on.

I just hope Ford is wise enough to plan and design the next Lightning so that it can be either fully electric OR with an onboard engine generator, using the same assembly line. No one knows how the political and technological tides will shift over the next 3-5 years. They have to be ready for...

I feel like we could maybe start a “good EV dealer” by state on a shared google doc or something.

Looks good! I also had the question if you could use mud flaps with these and I saw @Frode Vike already asked that one.

I don’t understand why it is taking so long for our older trucks to get Tesla superchargers on the ford navigation screen.

Exactly. Ford could have definitely released a lower cost Lightning if they had just stuck with it. But nooooo.

Cancelled my Scout reservation. For now I’m still keeping my Rivian R2 reservation though.

Far fewer parts to fail though which gives me hope. It’s mainly the battery pack we’re all concerned about. And with time my expectation is that a.) more used battery packs will be available b.) more independent EV repair shops will sprout up. We recently saw how inexpensively (and easily thanks...

Snow broke it??
