************************************ Sorry to hear that this happened to you as well. Looks like there was only a handful of us that this was an issue (More like a disaster :crazy: ). Was your vehicle fixed now? How do we find what version of the update that our truck was trying to download? I...

********************* I just got my lightning and went through your ordeal. I had to download the Tesla App which worked sometimes when the ford pass won't work. *****Also, not sure if your particular adapter has the lock on it. I wished I had a photo of mine. I'll take a photo when I'm on my...

************* I have been getting the stares from other Tesla Owners when I charge because I take up 2 spots. I can't help it if their darn cord is too short :LOL:

********************** Good to know about the "Active air dam system failure issue" - Thanks!

********************** I pray this does not happen again. I will get paranoid when the next update comes. I have the truck back with me now with no issues so far. I just don't know if they reverted it back to the old software. I have to check. I would want an updated software to fix any bugs...

***************** It was a really bad experience for me. I don't blame you for being paranoid at all. If it makes you feel better, there were not that many of us that got bricked. I wonder if they just reverted me to an older update. I have to check.

************************* That must be the update that bricked my Truck :LOL:

**************** Lol, they did give me a loaner for free (Ford escape) until I get it fixed so in fairness, I was able to still get around.

********************* Crazy how this can happen. It looks like a handful of us now had this issue. Mine had to be towed on 8/27/24 🤣 . By Friday8/30/27, Dealership said that the truck will start now but I had to leave it there for other issues like the Active Air Dam System Fault, the Full...

************************************ Happy to experience the fear and fulfill it on behalf of all EV owners out there 😪🤣🤣. Ford did say the vehicle will start now. It is only staying with the dealership to fix other issues.

************************************************************* UPDATE ******************************************************************** UPDATE: I did finally get a call back from the dealership yesterday afternoon (8/30/24) saying that they were able to now turn on the engine after...

***************************************** Saw this on one of the post from one of the forum members (This is an awesome forum-hats off to the one that is running this):

************************ Glad you are enjoying your truck. I really appreciate your input in this matter. I though the same way as you, I didn't want to keep waiting for the perfect EV. I just thought the lightning was perfect for our time. I got a call from Ford dealership yesterday afternoon...

*********************** Sorry to hear about your ordeal as well. This was really a shock for me especially since this was my first EV and everything was working well. I had to even say I was loving driving this truck every day and how quiet and efficient it was until the day it wound not turn...

Got it, thanks!

************************************************************************** Thank for the info. It is sad to know that it would have taken only 5 minutes to fix this issue instead of a week like the dealership told me. They said they are having issues with downloading the modules. Was planning on...

******************* I am brand new to this forum. How do you send a private message on this?

****************** Not sure what update this was. I had my truck set to auto update so I didn't get a chance to see what it was. The "Update not successful" message on the screen did not mention what version of the update failed either.

🤣 yeah, scary to think that an update could literally brick your vehicle. I was hoping that the system would just revert to the older software version if the new update would fail.
