  1. First Trip/Tesla Adapter Use

    Exactly this. I havenā€™t disabled Plug & Charge; I just use the Tesla app to activate the charging pedestal and it works perfectly. Every time. I know itā€™s not the topic, but if EA had uptime that was even 75% of Teslas, I would be ecstatic.šŸ˜‰
  2. Betrayed

    Exactly this. I bought my SR XLT Lightning last year knowing full well that I needed to be satisfied with the charging infrastructure AS IT IS. Do I hope (as we all do) that the infrastructure improves over the next few years so that road trips are less stressful? Of course. However, even if...
  3. First Trip/Tesla Adapter Use

    yep- you have one that is made by Lectron rather than Tesla. Both versions work great- the Lectron is slightly bigger and heavier and has a different locking mechanism. I have both (bought the Lectron for a long road trip through Nevada and Idaho) and received my Ford adapter (made by Tesla) a...
  4. First Trip/Tesla Adapter Use

    Me too. Typically in ā€˜accessory modeā€™ but there is no impact either way on fast charging.
  5. Curious why some do not use 1 pedal driving.

    Yes. Itā€™s like we became Reddit. To each their own. Sometimes I use 1PD, such as when I am descending some steep winding grades in the nearby mountains. I find it easier than using Sport Mode because the max regen means that I donā€™t have to constantly switch between the accelerator and brake...
  6. Ford’s F-150 Lightning is falling behind Tesla’s Cybertruck in deepening EV crisis

    This is exactly it. A 33% larger battery pack, at the time I bought my XLT, I would have had to spend almost $12,000 more to get an ER, and for something that would only add value for me a few times a year, and be wasted 360+ days a year, made no sense, for me (and I logged 29k miles in my...
  7. Did Ford change the motors or throttle response for 2024?

    Yes, so as Heliian said, the lighter truck with equivalent torque MIGHT (theoretically) be quicker off the line but lose in a longer distance race. Of course, other factors such as traction/grip also play into it. My guess would be that assuming identical tires/inflation pressures, any...
  8. DCFC precondition temp

    Uh, what? If ā€œthe Lightning does not precondition the HV batteryā€, why on earth would Ford explicitly say that it does? Furthermore, this has been discussed at length on Reddit and the various F150 Lightning forums, and this is the first time anyone has suggested that itā€™s only the Mach-E that...
  9. Instrument cluster doesn't turn on? Help

    Happened to me about six months ago. Occurred twice in two days and hasnā€™t recurred since. I assumed that it was a software glitch.
