  1. Turn off lights during Climate pre conditioning

    Then I mis understood. The only way to precondition the battery is to set a departure time. Only worthwhile if you need the added range that comes with a warmed battery. If you don't need the range it's just a zero sum game that spends energy.
  2. Turn off lights during Climate pre conditioning

    It's just the climate button. Runs it for 15 minutes or you can extend it once(for a total of 30 minutes) last I played with it But if you use both the 15 and extension or 2 separate remote starts it won't remote start again until you physically start the truck.
  3. Turn off lights during Climate pre conditioning

    Imagine a world where your truck is not parked in a garage but instead say the parking lot at work and you have something valuable in it and the lights turn on because of scheduled departure time drawing attention to it wouldn't you want the doors locked? Or you forgot to lock it and it's dang...
  4. Onboard power

    Both you and @hturnerfamily are confused about the GFCI. He is operating equipment, not connecting two separately derived systems together. The OP should never remove the ground wire from equipment being operated, that is there for the safety of the people operating it. If the GFCI is...
  5. Horrible efficiency on recent trip.

    I know you checked the areo elements but double check the active shutter. That has dropped my efficiency a couple times.
  6. Google Maps EV Routing for Android Auto Now Available for the F-150 Lightning!

    Yes I agree. Anyone who purchased after October 28 2024 should have a legit complaint that what was sold to them is not what they got. The work arounds are simple enough that I don't find it worth escalating farther (it would be to lawyer level, having called BEV team multiple times and spoken...
  7. Google Maps EV Routing for Android Auto Now Available for the F-150 Lightning!

    You are missing the patience from understanding what Soon™ really means... It means when @Ford Motor Company gets to it and not before... Sigh... No idea what is taking so long. At least most of my driving is local but if it were not I would be asking more often.
  8. Charging While Driving w/ Gas Generator in Bed (Range Extender for F-150 Lightning) - Testing

    100% should have orange line crossing 2.0 mi/kWh at 262 miles for the ER (2 x 131). It looks like it crosses at 210 which would be closer to 80%. Rather than ASSume I asked.
  9. BlueCruise extension

    I got the offer shown above. I did nothing, just got a notification that my bluecruise subscription was active until 1-26-26
  10. How does cabin heating work?

    50° is not cold. 32° is when you say it's freezing. 0° is cold and -10° is ____ing cold. Glad it only gets that cold about 1 day a year for me You can hear it upto about 30mph, 40 if you listen close if listening to podcast or between songs.
  11. How does cabin heating work?

    Y'all must be deaf or not driving in truly cold weather. In the truck it is much louder than the blower when using Auto modes
  12. Auto-off Headlights

    If you were to mark the dial with a piece of tape you would find the dial did not move but the truck defaulted it to auto when you started it.
  13. How does cabin heating work?

    You can adjust the steering wheel temp with forscan. Your dealer should be able to as well they just might need a little nudge to get them looking in the right place
  14. How does cabin heating work?

    You must not have heard the fans go to high speed to warm up the refrigerant when it's below 30. It's definitely more noise and a slight vibration from the fans running flat out.
  15. Truck won't stay in tow haul mode

    For those of us who purchased trucks long after the recall and were blissfully unaware of such a recall...many of the newer threads on modes not staying thru a power cycle include words such as "I think" and "I've heard"... Nothing as clear as @bmwhitetx post so my bad for calling it speculation.
  16. Truck won't stay in tow haul mode

    The drive mode defaults back to normal no matter what on a power cycle. No great reason, just the way it is. It has been speculated the it has to do with EPA and MPG testing. No idea on your second question.
  17. SR to ER battery swap DIY project

    @ZSC100 and martin rebuilds. The thread disappeared...maybe it violated something
  18. SR to ER battery swap DIY project

    Fair. I was more saying yes you could take a module or two or more and make a pack. You would need to make your own BMS but can be done.
  19. SR to ER battery swap DIY project

    You could take modules and build a 32Kwh pack and then run the EverDrive charge while driving. You would not be easily able to tie the battery direct to the DC bus because of the above mentioned voltage difference.
