Towed my teardrop camper with the lightning to the UP for our vacation this year. My advice (actually, for any trip) is to use ABRP for planning, favor Tesla superchargers, and never, ever, ever go to a dealer charger unless there are absolutely no other options. (Also, I would never trust Ford...
Yep. There are a few threads on it. Until Ford fixes it via update, the best procedures are:
1) Disconnect the phone's CarPlay via the Phone List and then reconnect it.
2) If that doesn't work, reboot the APIM by long-pressing the bottom two outside buttons on the steering wheel for 10s (I never...
You only drove 5 miles and it was below 70, so the truck was heating the batteries a little. You used so little energy actually driving, that the battery warming is dominating the usage. If you only drove 1 mile, you could probably get that percentage even higher.
I think Ford is getting very...
Yep, anytime I've tried to change the amperage via software on the FCSP, I then would have to reboot it twice (via breaker) to get the new setting to stick. Lovely firmware.
I goes white when it phones the mothership after the first charge of the day. That's when it updates the charge history shown in Fordpass app (for the charger, not the vehicle)
Ah, someone that's more of a road hog than me. Got my '23 platinum in Jan. '23 and only have 64k miles on it. (Battery health from FDRS still shows 99%)
I just got the defenders (After 60k miles on the Generals). I have not noticed a significant drop in efficiency (after another 3k miles on them). I was worried about it, but it seems a non-issue. I know this isn't scientific, but there are so many factors that change efficiency on a day-to-day...
I don’t remember exactly. I think it was under the list of common operations or something like that. Maybe someone with a longer than 2-day license can be more specific. Sorry.
Purchases in Jan. 23. I have 61k miles on it and it my favorite vehicle I have ever owned. Only thing I drive. (But realized everyone's use-cases are different, so do your research)
THIS! Ford needs to understand the economics of this. I love BC 1.3. I think it works great compared to what BC used to be. Still not worth $800/yr. I think it's worth about $200/yr if they keep updating it and expanding the available roads. Otherwise, I'll probably do exactly what...
Yeah, if all you use the truck for is exclusively long-haul trips in the shortest time possible, buy something else. Even though I've got 54k miles on my lightning after 18 months, I still only long-haul a few times a year. Quite a few single fast charge trips, but still a majority of my...
Mickey's the expert and I will be the first to admit that the plural of anecdote is not "data", but I have 53k miles on a 23 platinum. Just ran FDRS battery diagnostic and the pack is still showing 100% health and a capacity of 396.4 Ah...whatever that means.
Who knows what the actual number is, I've just updated everything and flipped the right bits in Forscan to get the options. Nowhere do they tell you what "point version" of BC is running. I think they just stick those numbers in the OTA update notes.
