It doesn't as a standard user setting, you can adjust it in Forscan.

Didn't the Lightning end 2025 as the best selling EV truck? (and maybe 2024 as well?) I'm still not sure why they decided to pull the plug on this, and my understanding is the primary reason they were losing so much money per truck sold was because of how they were amortizing the cost of R&D and...

I'm still waiting for it to recognize when I ask it to turn the rear defrost on with the hands free because that button is hard to hit while driving and keeping an eye on the road.

The Pi lives in the garage and pulls live data when the truck is parked at home, and downloads the historical data for when it's not. Yes, if you plan on having it live in the truck an esp32 would be the way to go.

For the BM2 battery monitor https://github.com/TechnoSwiss/bm2-battery-monitor which is my branch of KrystianD's implementation, I have a few fixes in mine for timestamps on the history data that I don't know if they've been merged yet to their branch. Since the BM2 use BLE no other hardware is...

Also using a similar device to @RLXXI, a BM2 device like several others are. I don't care for their app much, so I've got a Raspberry Pi setup to read the device and log the data to my own server.

I still have people cut in front of me here in Oregon with my follow distance set to the lowest setting. It's bad enough in a truck as heavy as the Lightning, I feel really bad for everybody driving box trucks and semis. When I was living in the LA area in the late 90s traffic in the area was...

Yes, it finished charging the HVB around 6:45am and and then was just sitting plugged in.

This is the longest I've ever had the truck just sitting and the only time I've seen the LVB dip below 12.5V in almost year I've owned it. The lowest drop there is 12.1V right after a short drive. The peaks around 11/28 are a few short trips to and from friends homes for Thanksgiving dinner, and...

I've seen the question a lot about when the LVB battery gets charged, and a lot of answers, some good, some not quite correct. I haven't seen one yet with any direct evidence. I thought I'd share one with a graph showing voltage on the LVB. I have a BLE battery monitor on all of my cars, with...

But is this just standard FORSCAN tweaks, or something a bit deeper?

Similar issue after the last update, I also like to run in Sport mode, I do get the popup but even when I select yes to stay in Sport mode, a couple of minutes later is always switches back to normal mode. @Ford Motor Company is there a place to file bug reports?

Um... did you put all your switches on the cover over the driver side knee airbag? 😬

My bladder could use a stop every 3 hours as well, however when towing or driving with a headwind in the gorge the Lightning has to stop and recharge every 1-1.25 hour. Also, the bathroom options at most of those charging stops leaves a lot to be desired. The Tesla Supercharger in Boardman being...

I love my Lightning, and as a commuter vehicle and a truck it's just awesome, and it tows like a dream. But road trips, towing? I've got issues with abdominal pain and other GI issues that can make sitting for long periods painful, when 6.5 hour trip turns into 11 hours because of charging...

An F150? With a bowtie? 😉

It's no more of a risk than keeping the door opener in your car, which is what most people end up doing with Homelink missing. In fact it's probably MORE of a risk since some of the Homelink's only work when the car is on, while the the remote both works while the car is off, and can be removed...

Give the number of EV's that have been reported for FAILING to trigger the brake lights during regen when they should (see https://www.carscoops.com/2023/06/hyundai-mercedes-ev-brake-lights-may-not-warn-other-drivers-during-regenerative-braking/ for examples) I don't think it's an unreasonable...

I feel like the sensor or their detection algorithm needs some work. I was driving in the rain yesterday and had to keep manually hitting the wipers because it wasn't clearing the rain as it built up. Then this morning while driving into work in a light mist it was just going crazy over every...

The failure rate to deliver on KS hardware projects is so insanely high, I'm a little shocked people still back any of them. Not all of them of course, Bambu has done several that have been successful, but 3D printers probably have an 80% failure rate. I will usually throw a dollar at a KS...
