Thanks for that. I have been kind of wondering how the preconditioning works. I have a 2024 Flash that we are leasing. Reading this thread it looks like the preconditioning works like my Kia EV6. One has to set a destination to get the precondition to come on before charging the battery...

To be fair, I don't think there were many of the American dealerships who were ready for this transition to electric. We leased a 2022 Kia EV6 in the fall of that year. The dealership had just hired a specialist in the service dept. who didn't know as much about the car as I did. We took it...

When hauling the 4X8 piece of plywood and some drywall, I laid them flat in the bed with the tailgate down and put a towing strap over the material and the tailgate. The PVC was the first thing I noticed it with about a week earlier. I just drove the 50 miles home with it hanging over the...

A few weeks ago I had two 10ft. pieces of PVC which I let hang over the edge with the tailgate up. The cameras in the rear-view mirrors would have been able to see it as they stuck out maybe a foot on one side. But that also caused a warning on the dash that disabled the lane keeping function...

Why is it that when I put a couple of pieces of plywood (or anything else) that hangs out of the bed of the truck; it defeats the lane-keeping function. I'm not using blue cruise but just the basic cruise. There is only about 2.5 ft. sticking out the back of the truck with the tailgate up. I...

Putting my 2024 Flash in Sport is a noticeable upgrade in acceleration. Sometimes I will put it in Sport when needing to pass on a 2-lane road. When my wife is along, I usually put it back in Normal :angel: Sort of tricky though. I have to take my eyes briefly off the road to make that change.

Having said that, now I have had several instances where I came back after pressing that slider to keep the power on and it was off. This last time I was about 79 ft. from the truck when I remembered to lock it. So I took out the key Fob and locked it. When I came back the freezer was off...

I know. The more I hear lately is try to keep my '24 Flash. Still got about 20 months on the lease. With the tax rebate and some dealer incentives here in Idaho they were able to sell me on the lease and the payments were less than my 2019 Ram 1500. I still had over 4 years to pay on the...

I heard somewhere (don't remember the source) that there were actually some urban professionals who bought 4 wheel drive vehicles for driving to work but they wanted to look like they did 4 wheeling. So there was a place where you could buy spray on mud to spray on your truck to impress people.

Yes, I have this feature on my 2024 Flash. I think it is keeping my freezer on when I park at the food store or Costco, etc. but I'm having a bit of trouble giving it a good trial. For example, today on the 15" screen I turned the slider on to keep Propower on when I turn off the truck. Then...

I liked highway driving better without Blue Cruise. I didn't even use it much during my trial on my 2024 Flash. Too many nagging things. Seemed to be a little more sensitive; too sensitive. I really didn't notice much when it was just on regular cruise and lane keep etc. I don't think I...

Try using the Blue Cruise. It's even more sensitive than without. That's when I had an easy decision not to pay the monthly fee for that even though my '24 Flash is capable. Wonder if this update mitigated the sensitivity of Assisted Cruise when using Blue Cruise as well.

Yes, I remember that I saw an ad for the 2024 Lightning Flash on YouTube when I was still thinking about looking for an electric truck. They were pointing out that the Flash was the one to get because it had a lot of some of the main features of even the Platinum level truck (like the PPO...

Then you can walk away and use the remote to turn off the truck again right; with the PPO still on. Locking the truck does not abort the "stay on while truck is off" thing? I'm still learning how to do this now that I bought a fridge for it. I left it on while the Mrs and I were in the...

If I select Vehicle along the bottom - it opens with this screen - it either says vehicle is "on" or "parked". I've seen it say "parked" sometimes but usually it's says it's on, even if it isn't.

I think it has to do with the fact that I rely on my wifi to get in touch with the truck from the app. No cell service at all. So, I know the truck is off because this has happened to me several times. But the app says its on when I first bring up the app on the "vehicle" page. Anybody...

Where does it say in the Lightning manual that there has to be a constant draw on the PPO for it to stay on? On my 2024 Flash all I can find is setting the power limit low enough so it will stay on.

Recently I charged up my 2024 in my garage with my ChargePoint 50 at 48A The cord to the CPH50 were warm which is unusual. I have to say that I neglected to set the charging limit down. Meant to charge to 80% but it is set to 100% by default of course. So the charge was at 90% when I went...

I know when we leased the two EVs we have now (an EV6 and an F-150 Lightning) the dealership charged it up to 100% before we drove it off the lot. Maybe when they do more and more they have to charge lots of $$ to make up for it. I think the reason a lot of dealers show up on, for example...
