My wife is trading her Toyota Highlander V6 for a Mach-e. We used Carvana. Used deals were really good, but the demand for electric is quickly rising with current gas price bump. The desirable Mach-e's that we marked as favorites would either go on hold (someone started purchase) or under...
With a 2023 truck you're hitting the magic 3yr mark where 12 volt batteries seem to quit with no warning in the Lightning's and ICE F150's. Take it to the dealer or any auto parts store and have a load test done on the 12 volt, it may fail.
Consider the "electrical drain" message a lucky warning.
Spent a majority of my life living in Park City & SLC. I made frequent trips to these areas that you just visited. This post makes me miss that area even more that I already do. Well done, looks like you had a great trip!
There is a consolidated user manual of sorts in the works and almost finished that has step by step instructions for tuning.
Until then, there is information spread across the entire internet. Such is the nature of open source and experimental hardware/software. Try this link for now on the...
I would recommend the "making your own harness method" instead of trying to figure out if all of the current harnesses are actually connected. You have to remove the tub, but that's not really an issue. It's more difficult trying to get to all of the harness plugs and determine if you have the...
Contrasting your driving/charging routine to mine....
Me:
Approx 35,000 miles in one year, currently 50,600 miles in 17 months.
Charge to 80%-90% at home regularly, 100% about 3 times per month to drive about 290+/- miles round trip. Road trip with multiple DCFC and tow a 24' travel trailer...
I think they was me that was interested.
I actually just got a used low mileage 2020 Bolt instead of a new/used Mach-e. Bolt fills the current car need at a better price, just need a cheap people mover right now to supplement the Lightning. The MME's are depreciating, but still cost much more...
I agree with @Firn , the filters are probably showing you trucks that are close to what you are looking for because all the trucks on your desired list likely sold out already. That's a pretty popular spec, it's the same as my desired spec was in 2024, and it was hard to find then.
OP Long = Open Pilot longitudinal control - forward longitudinal control instead of side-to-side lateral control.. This is OpenPilot (or BluePilot (BP) or SunnyPilot (SP), etc...) control of adaptive cruise control. Also working towards ability to stop at red lights, stop signs, etc. Still...
I prefer ABRP for trips that have charge stops. Lately I've been using it exclusively since Google Maps had the update that causes the "0.0" to show on the instrument panel for distance to destination.
ABRP does get data through Android Auto, presumably the same info that Google Maps does...
I try to answer what I can on here, Mach-e forum, F150gen14 forum, and Discord, but you or someone much more qualified than I generally beat me to it or know way more than what I am able to answer.
I can write something up that documents what I did to get my C3x running on my Lightning with BP...
I just had my recall done. All you need to do is unplug the USB from the Comma or remove the Comma from the sliding dock. No need to remove the harness from the IPMA.
I feel like the couple of times I had an error like those come up while driving on 5.0 the Comma fixed itself quickly without any intervention.
Running 6.0-beta since yesterday and no errors of any type in that short time (not expecting any errors).
Like @EVO said above, maybe a loose USB or a...
Which BP version are you using? With the earlier BP 3.0-BP 4.0 versions I would get occasional random radar errors that required a quick slide off the dock and back on to reset. With BP 5.0 and now on 6.0-beta, those errors all but disappeared. Are you getting the orange screen "take control...
