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...
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?
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...
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...
@Ford Motor Company and it would be awesome if we could get the recirc button up on the main screen instead of having to get into the climate details to turn it on. Maybe replace the superfluous max def. button on the screen
I don't think there's any difference in the way the 22-23 and 24-25 handle this, but with the heatpump system in the 24-25 since it's providing the heat, you can't do AC-linked de-humidification like you can in most other vehicles. This means the one way to de-humidify (ie defog) the interior in...
I got my 2024 Lariat end of Dec. 2024, and I've had... I'm not sure I think 5 software updates, the last one was the BlueCruise 1.4 update Aug 30th 2025.
Yes, you can get a fob that has the remote start button and it will work, I picked this one up and it works https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D16X1NRT just make sure you get the correct frequency for your truck, they had at least one mid-year change on the 2024 models and the first fob I ordered was...
Ordering a replacement visor, or rear-view mirror with the home link buttons on it would be my recommendation. I went the rear-view mirror route and have been happy with it. If you're looking for an Android Auto device that will allow you to run any app on the screen, I've been using this one...
