  1. Chevrolet dealers know; Ford dealers are clueless

    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...
  2. No Audio at times when using Apple Car Play

    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...
  3. What is "Exterior Temperature" supposed to be used for?

    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...
  4. FCSP refuses to charge at set amperage

    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.
  5. FCSP going white (resetting?) after disconnect from truck.

    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)
  6. Just crossed 70,000 miles since January 2023: Charging Stats & Costs

    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%)
  7. 2 year ownership report: 2022 Lightning Lariat ER

    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...
  8. EV Batteries Can Outlast A Vehicle’s Lifetime With Minimal Degradation, Study Finds

    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.
  9. Is Anybody Happy With Their Lightning?

    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)
  10. Bluecruise Update: Ford OTA team promises 1.3 for all Lightnings by end of the year

    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...
  11. Tesla Owner with a 2023 Ford Lightning XLT Long Range (Impressions/Review)

    You can lock the fob in the cab if you press the two bottom buttons on the security code pad.
  12. The Ford Lightning Miscellaneous Question and Answer Thread

    The heat is not on. It will come on if it needs to warm up to a temp. If that is off, it will not use the resistive heater even in winter.
  13. Can't turn off camera view until coming to complete stop

    It is fixed in the latest APIM update...if they ever push that out OTA.
  14. Battery changes for the future?

    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...
  15. Battery changes for the future?

    My typical response is that the battery is bigger than my bladder.
  16. Cell Level Testing of the SK805A (Lightning Cell)

    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.
  17. They have landed

    I just realized that's what the CT will look like once the final version of the range extender ships.
  18. Ford Dropping Ball by Not Rolling Out OTA Updates more often

    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.
