Can't say I have had the braking trigger in traffic. It did scare the crap out of my wife the other day when she tried to pretend to come at me and it slammed on the brakes. At least I think she was pretending...

So there are a lot of different factors here and how that number comes to be. First, the rated range is NOT at true highway speeds. Kick it up to 75mph and that range will be a lot less, even in perfect weather. Aerodynamic drag is a killer, increasing exponentially (2x the speed = 4x the...

Might be worth grabbing a extended warranty.

I look at it different. The credits were not to pay people to buy the vehicles, the credits were to pay the manufacture to produce a higher COST vehicle and still be able to have it come in at a comparable market price. No matter what, EVs have not quite yet realized the global scale of parts...

Something I would love to have as well

If you dont know the need and you are talking about something that can literally catch fire then you dont go with the lowest common denominator, you go with the highest. This isnt the place to recomend a cord and if it catches fire just try a different one. The lightning can push 20a, that...

Having to know which ones you can use, and which you cannot, only highlights the failure more rather than diminishing it. Aside from brand loyalty or picky performance car owners, when was the last time you had to pick a certain gas station because others wouldn't be able to refuel your car.

I have to be contrary to this view. You are an enthusiast, which also means there is a bit of a bias. Not saying that in a bad way. The lightning does road trip, and its as comfortable as it always is. However the time spent to charge is annoying when trying to reach a destination. Dare I say...

Your assumption is correct, as i stated earlier too. Carscanner will show brake line pressure and I have monitored this a few times.

I'm on 6.1.0 for android, released 20 Oct. Looks like there is an update to Android on 7 Nov so we may be seeing this soon. The APK sites don't show it yet so I dont think the android version is out in the wild yet.

Same I'll spend a half out at the dealer lot because I have to, not because I want to. If the choice is available I will spend my time somewhere I want to spend time.

Ford has invested billions on EVs, the CEO expresses the need for then to move that direction repeatedly, and right now they have essentially two models on the market. They are also selling the Lightning across the world, to fairly good reception it seems. They may not know when its coming...

Again, that was H Tuner or whatever his name is and he has shown time and time again he doesnt understand how the brakes and brake lights work. Its possible to slow any vehicle to near a stop without brakes, I did it for years with stick shifts. That situation only happens in VERY light slowing...

That identifies cars that do not follow the EU regulation and do not illuminated the brake lights when decelersting heavily. The Lightning does follow the EU regulation (or near enough) and does illuminate the brake lights. That isnt showing that some cars just happened to fail to illuminate...

If the regen bar exceeds 100% then the brake pads are being used. Otherwise they are only used about 5' from coming to a stop and occasionally during ABS activation. Maybe not perfect but that regen bar is a really good indication

No, I get that. The point however is that the brake lights DO illuminate in 1pd drive, at a very low level. There is little need to show someone when they are illuminating because they ARE illuminating. The only reason to show someone a dash display would be so that they would know when they...

Its literally one guy who has it wrong. I have tested it. In 2pd mode the brake lights will not activate until the brake pedal is pressed. In 1pd mode the brake lights activate at a certain rate of deceleration. I'm guessing they meet the euro standard but I dont know for sure. It is a...

I dont even think it is that complicated. They have the best selling truck. They know what works, what people want in a truck, and how buyers use them. They took all their experiance making trucks and made the exact same thing, but electric. They made an electric truck, not an electric vehicle...

Agree completely. 2pd mode, apply brake pedal, brake lights 1pd mode, let off throttle, brake lights. There is no situation where this is helpful information. . And, fwiw, the truck is in "regen" the moment you push the brake pedal.

I would be extremely hesitant to run spacers on a 7,000lb truck with 775 ft lb of torque and only six lugs.....
