2023 Lightning Lariat - Received 10.1.0 Saturday 11/16 (while negotiating The Wife's new 2024 mach E Premium).
10.1.1 received today.
I've been appreciating the predicted charge at arrival via android auto. Karaoke not so much, but I'm sure my kids will.
This is my new go-to thread when dudes on the internet say our trucks don't do truck stuff.
'OK, maybe towing is particularly challenging in an EV, but can your truck make beer?!?'
This is the way. I would do this exact thing if I had it to do all over, even though I'm enormously satisfied with my Emporia EVSE.
After almost a year of home charging, I have never once wanted for more than 48 amps. In fact, I de-rate my Emporia for normal operation, and only step up to 48 in...
I love bluecruise. Even V1.0. I use it every day. I made the mistake of letting The Wife drive it on a road trip, and now she wants a mach E. Probably wouldn't spring for a yearly subscription, but it's definitely worth a $50 charge for a road trip. I just drove a Tesla with FSD. Not a fan.
This sounds like a recipe for hating your truck, if it dies on you 5 miles from the event.
My advice: stop and charge at a supercharger in Dubuque or Rockford, for the 10 minute boost duration of the charging curve. Everybody gets to pee, and you get to feel more comfortable about the trip not...
That's a slick little hack (manual precondition via tow mode) I wish I had known for my summer trips. Do you know if this is this true for all vehicles, or maybe just those with max tow package?
Bought November '23. Enormously happy. I'm not going back to gas unless they make me (and noone's going to make me).
If you can charge at home and drive less than 200 miles a day, it's far more convenient than an ICE vehicle.
I'm bumped from August to September too. Everybody is entitled to their opinions, and I'm not necessarily saying it's wrong to blame Ford, but I'm personally more inclined to blame Tesla in this instance, since they're actually producing the things
I'm sure firing the entire Tesla supercharger...

Welcome to the club, and to the forum!
This is the way. I did the same, and the shipping delays are infinitely less frustrating to me. If I never charge at a supercharger, it's still money well spent.
Other than bluecruise 1.[2-4], this is the one I've been waiting for. I was getting an update a week for a couple months, and then they stopped after 6.5 (just before 6.8).
I'm ready, OTA God's! Give me my current state of charge on my instrument cluster!
