Ford should just offer Economy Mode similar to Rivian. When cruising down the interstate, one motor shuts off saving energy. It’d be good at interstate speeds. Then, automatically reinstate the second when slowing down below 60. Not sure how it would affect the regenerative braking.

So, I contacted the Ford Advisor who texted me after I bought my Lightning. He tried to help, but nothing. He gave me a number to call. While I was in the truck chatting, I checked the update to find the truck in the middle of an update over 12 hours outside my scheduled update time. Huh...
Temp has not been an issue.
Now neither my truck OR my sons will charge through the Ford app. We both just had updates. That’s when this all started.
Now, our trucks start the EVSE despite the Ford Pass app having a specific start time hours later, then they cycle repeatedly: charging (to...
Thanks for the replies and suggestions.
I actually had deleted all locations prior to no avail. Finally, I renamed my “Home” location with a different name, then tried to change the times in the trucks screen. No luck there, but I could finally change them in the phone app. We’ll see if she...
I have had no issues since the latest update. Now, I plug my truck in, and I get charging faults.
I have always had my truck set to charge from 10pm to 6am during the cheapest rates. Well, Friday night, I see my truck had a charging faults. I could not get it to charge, and was forced to go...
Ford needs to get off their dead @$$ and remember that EVERYONE who bought a Lightning should be treated similarly regarding these adapters. I spent $500 on the mobile charger because Ford has a “package” truck they build for their distribution centers for quick ship. They include a twist-lock...
Right here. See kits on Etsy. I bought the decals for my last Lightning, but never got that far. May try them on this one.
The decals come in a variety of colors.
My concern is for that impatient shi* for brains being a jerk unplugging me when I am charging, but ran into the store for a bathroom break and a soda. I agree with the rest.
Full disclosure here, not a proud moment. The ports on our trucks are VERY robust. How do I know?
Picture this...
Is there concerns the Tesla EVSE will sense it’s not an actual Tesla or Ford adapter and shut down or not work? I can’t imagine so, but I thought I read only Ford-supplied adapters woukd work.
Just thinking as I disconnected my Lightning from the charger at work so a fellow worker could charge a Rivian…. Why does the Rivian lock to the EVSE (8.5kW) plug to the vehicle, yet anyone can simply press the button on the plug if plugged into my Lightning, and run with the cord to their...
Since it’s no secret who makes the Ford NACS adapter for Ford, and Ford is out of stock, is there any reason I should not buy one direct? My 2024 did not come with one, and I am without an adapter. Any reason to wait on Ford?
