  1. Double charged by both ford and tesla at tesla station Ford says basically "your loss"

    Umm, no. Plug & Charge, i.e. where you pull up to a charger, open the port, remove the charging hose, and plug in, does NOT get you any discounted rate on any charging network. If you are a Tesla member, to get the discounted rate you need to use the Tesla app and activate a charger. If you...
  2. Ford issues more safety recalls in 6 months than ANY auto company has in a YEAR

    Ford’s Recalls Set Yearly High In Six Months https://wallstreetjournal-ny.newsmemory.com/?publink=0daf0e85c_134fa7c
  3. Double charged by both ford and tesla at tesla station Ford says basically "your loss"

    Did you going into FordPass, Energy, and pull up the charging history? That would show it. I am confident that the Tesla app indicates the START of the session. I record my trips on log sheets. I write down the time I stopped, the charger location, energy, ... and the minutes of charging...
  4. Double charged by both ford and tesla at tesla station Ford says basically "your loss"

    Those are two unique sessions. The Ford session ran from 9:43 - 9:56. The Tesla session STARTED at 9:57 and ran for 15 minutes. In FordPass charging history, you SHOULD (assume it capture both sessions) see TWO charging sessions, the first delivering 27kWh (a ~20% change in state of...
  5. Double charged by both ford and tesla at tesla station Ford says basically "your loss"

    1) Not true. It's the same cost as Tesla. 2) Not true, actually impossible. The session you started with Plug & Charge likely also shows, in your confirmation email, that you paid for say 2 kWh. Then, you started a charge with Tesla using their app. If you believe you were double charged...
  6. Can dealers update software?

    If you want your vehicle updated, you need to invest the time and effort to read this forum. There have been numerous "problems" identified in this forum that needed fixes. Some were CSPs (Customer Satisfaction Programs), some were TSBs (Technical Service Bulletins). If you have the problem...
  7. Auto sensing for Travel charger/connection

    I don't know what a "regular wall connector" is, but yes SOME EVSEs are adjustable. Of course you want 24 amps, not 30, as you noted previously. As @TaxmanHog notes, only the 2025 Lightning can regulate the power it pulls, at this time. No idea if that's going to come to earlier models. If...
  8. Not to bad for a full charge on a flash 123KWH battery 😊

    Don't be. It's meaningless. You won't get anywhere near 315 miles on a highway roadtrip.
  9. T-Boned Today. Is It Totaled?

    If a vehicle is repaired, factory warranty remains in place. Ford cannot refuse to honor it.
  10. A couple of buying questions...

    Not really. We bought an EV in 2021, 2022, and 2023. Each year I had to generate income, via converting IRAs to Roth, to use the tax credit. Then, they made the tax credit a time of sale option, and that option did NOT require that you had the ability to take the full tax credit at time of...
  11. Retractable ratchet straps seem like an amazing idea, anyone tried them?

    I have a tonneau cover, DiamondBack HD, that has cleats all over it. I pickup lumber, lay it out tonneau cover, strap it down. And, if I need to, I can strap things across the tailgate when it is down.
  12. Retractable ratchet straps seem like an amazing idea, anyone tried them?

    I had a 2013 F-150 before my Lightning, it had cleats but not the Boxlinks. I have a gallon plastic ice cream tub with about 8 straps in it. Off the top of my head, they cost maybe a few dollars each. Bought a 4 pack once, a strap or two here or there. $30 per strap is crazy IMO. They get...
  13. Recall: 25S71 2025 Ford F-150 Lightning Recalled Over Brake Fluid Leak

    5? "Well, Fred was in the john, cleaning out last night's Mexican, and Eddie took over and didn't screw the screws in good. Luckily, Fred's bathroom brake was quick, that Mexican sure comes out fast!"

  15. Canopy Bed Security Cameras

    Couldn't one disconnect the system from the OBD-2 port, manually charge the battery, and have a device that flashes LEDs at a person too close to the vehicle, perhaps avoiding a problem?

  17. Full charge, bang, "Exit vehicle safely" - truck dead in driveway

    Ford's free Roadside Assistance will get it towed to the dealership.
  18. HV battery junction box?

    Dealership should have connected the car to start with. Repair us under warranty, and BEV team should authorize a loaner and gas.
  19. Chat GPT answer had me make a change that caused “pre collision system unavailable”

    As someone that has never made a mistake like this (well, never use AI but the idea of doing something stupid), you have my sympathy. Of course I lie, countless issues with computers over the 40+ years I've had them. Most recent was ignoring Windows warning I was running out of space, then it...
  20. Lightning Q2 sales down 26% from Q2 2024

    Not at all a surprise to me.
