  1. HURRICANE HELP needed with monitoring power via app

    I think they removed it. YOu can see truck charge but I haven't found Wattage use per circuit like you can find in the truck. Same exact setup as yours, stay safe! Not like you need advice but I'd start rationing power now like it'll be out for a long time!
  2. How do I fold down drivers side rear seat ?

    lowly xlt owners have some space there 😅
  3. To the Standard Range people. Any regrets not going Extended Range?

    EV is like anything else electronic, buy the best you can afford at that point in time and don't look back. If I could have swung the 15k price difference I was faced with I would have purchased the extra miles/battery no doubt. But it was too big of a hit for me, so I didn't. SR is doing...
  4. Get hands-on towing training at Ford Towing Bootcamp

    Really cool service, I'd definitely sign up to attend one closer to me
  5. Ford Announces 2 New EV Pickup Trucks Coming in 2027, Including Project "T3"

    Maverick-sized EV, I'm excited for. Aerodynamic truck, I'm not too hot on. The truck needs to look like a truck, and the lightning was pitch perfect in looks.
  6. Shudder when I hit bumps

    I would listen to my instincts for sure. I can't say I feel anything shaking around on mine which is more or less right off the lot. Rule out the basics - junk in the frunk rolling around loose, rocks in the rims, etc., but if those are ruled out I'd not hesitate to take it in to the dealer or...
  7. Fast charging question

    Next time you plug into the charger, take a screenshot of the front page of your app where it says your truck is charging. I wonder if you're on a unique cocktail of software versions between phone and truck that makes you see different things than most of us see?
  8. CarPlay disconnect when on phone call

    This sounds like it might be an issue with your phone? I would try disabling bluetooth (IIRC, wireless carplay is over a superlocal wifi), I would clean the phone of unnecessary apps, and then I'd make sure there was no other earbuds, headphones, headsets, etc. in range. When I have my airpods...
  9. Fast charging question

    I'm wondering what you're looking at when you say "limit"? Do you not see the charge limit slider on your app? If you move the slider one way or the other the limit goes up or down. I feel like i'm being overbasic though. What exactly are you talking about?
  10. Will a Lightning work for me (towing + frequent offroad use)?

    What distance will you be doing your heavy payload and tow? IMO that dictates whether the truck will work for you or not. Pretend you're going to get 1/2 the non-payload efficiency with your fancy giant tires, so 0.8 mi/kWh, and calc your roundtrip. If the number works then you're probably going...
  11. Table saw & Vacuum?

    IMO the full power pro power is the killer app for the truck. If you didn't buy a truck with the 9.6 kW, I would not hesitate to upgrade it so it has full power. Those of you looking to buy, make sure you get this upgrade.
  12. Using my Lightning to power a university classroom

    That is awesome! I've powered the house and a jobsite at a eco-themed music festival so far. Everyone who's seen it has been very interested.
  13. Can you precondition on roadtrips without using Ford Navigation?

    Hmmmm interesting, I wonder if that's a software update new thing, or a screen thing? I'm in a XLT so have the "split screen" and can run google maps in the main pane and ford nav in the subpane
  14. New issue happening, soc % dropping upon departure, anyone else have this?

    My theory is that the soc displayed to us is a calculation rather than a true current state. There is no way that 1-2 kWh discharges from our battery packs in such a short time, so to me that means it must be the result of a calculation that is slicing time either too rapidly or not enough, and...
  15. Can you precondition on roadtrips without using Ford Navigation?

    My salesperson said to type the destination in via ford nav IN ADDITION TO carplay so that the car can do its thing properly. It's a workaround at least
  16. Towing 1.0 kWh/mile (7,000 lb boat)

    That boat is gorgeous. I wouldn't mind some boat tour pics if you had em. When I'm feeling the kWh/mi crunch I slow down to ~60max and turn on "performance mode" (not available when towing I assume) but I've been getting remarkably better numbers doing that. I think there would be a market for...
  17. What do you call / name your Lightning?

    "My Purse" "hon, where's the leatherman?" "it's in My Purse lemme go grab it"
