Things you would expect are mentioned in here. But still no details yet on the actual vehicle Ford is planning. https://www.motortrend.com/features/ford-f150-erev-lessons-from-lightning

Probably not a surprise to anyone here. Consumer Reports finds the Lightning range is 270mi vs the EPA rated 320mi when traveling at highway speeds (70mph, 2022 extended range lariat)...

Must be the forbidden efficiency.

Well this would make the most sense although a gap of 8-10kwh is a ton of loss for balancing I feel. But could be it.

Yeah it’s strange for sure. Happened to me again today when I tried charging from 85% to 100%. During the charge session it said I added 29kwh. But later when I checked the charge history in the app it said I only added 21kwh. It seems to be related to that “last mile” of charging from the high...

Got this update the other day. Been driving around and no real issues other than my startup dings have vanished completely. Guessing they’ll be back. I still see the two recalls in my app for the “truck might roll away and squish someone” and the “your trailer brakes may decide to randomly stop...

So I’ve noticed this happening more often lately and I’m not sure why. When I’m charging on level 2 for several hours the FordPass app shows I’m getting X number of KWh’s as added energy. Then later, after I’ve stopped charging I look in the charging history of the app. For that same session the...

That BYD charging speed demonstration is crazy. Similar to the speed of watching your tank fill with gas.

Nope. Mine literally just says “soon”.

For a second I read this as “40 miles in” and I was like, uh.. might wanna keep going. Ha. But great pic!

Does the classic Bedrug fit the Lightning? For some reason the site says it doesn’t.

I haven’t seen this particular video yet but I’ve seen several other @Trucked Up EVs videos and I appreciate the coverage of the Lightning, critical or not. Usually the forum isn’t this cranky but maybe someone switched the office coffee to decaf and didn’t tell anyone. Personally I’m looking...

Doh! I did this same thing in a different vehicle years ago with a back pocket flathead screwdriver. As others noted, eBay may be your best bet. Or maybe @Martin Rebuilds has some ideas.

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...
