✅ 8/22 Lightning Build Week Group

[PiMatrix]

Has anyone tested scales? When I jump into the flat bed while my wife watches the scale the line bounces a bit but the reading doesn't change from 0 pounds. Anyone test this feature?

Wondering how many folks in our group (8/22) are still waiting for their trucks? Seems like we should be at the point where everyone has theirs?

Still waiting my truck has been in the Newark Port since Oct 3rd. 26 miles from my dealer in NY!!

Mine was delivered to the dealer last week and the tracker says it's in final preparation. I texted him last week to ask if I can schedule a pickup, no response. I just emailed him now.

I think that they're probably driving it - check the mileage. I got mine the day after it was delivered to the dealer - they actually were ready to deliver it on the afternoon after it arrived that morning. Did you have any dealer-installed options?

I ordered the same one a month ago, this weekends project. And also to be installed a bedrug, front and back mudflaps, wheel well liner, fridge in the frunk, short antenna, back seat release strap, phone holder, box links, rear bullring truck bed tie downs, center storage organizer insert between front seats, passenger side bed swing case. And a DIY ceramic coat treatment if I get to it.

That is an impressive list of accessories! If you've investigated and found which specific items you're planning on installing, I'd appreciate links to same. I've already decided to go with Bedrug (based on reviews, never actually seen one) and shorter antenna. But the remainder of your list I'd like to see--something for me to do while I continue to await delivery . . . Thank you in advance.

No dealer installed options. I had a MME delivered through them. It took them a couple days to prep and add it to inventory before I could come get it. Also, the dealer I'm working with at the dealership has certain days off, forget which ones. So we'll see tomorrow.

I did my first DC fast charge today at the Electrify America station in the Walmart in DuBois, PA (just off I80 in north central PA). I arrived with 17%, charging ramped up to 160kw and stayed there for at least 10 minutes before dropping to 120kw. It stayed there until I hit 70% when it worked down to 90 as I approached 75%. I unplugged at that point since I had plenty of range to get home. Total time charging 34 minutes. I couldn't ask for a better first charging experience.
My only problem is the stats reported by the truck and the Ford Pass app aren't real clear. Under 'My EV Driving', the trip home after this charge is showing 84 miles, energy used -24.1 kWh, Energy efficiency -3.5 mi/kWh. What the heck does that mean.

What metrics do you more experienced EV'ers use to analyze your charging/mileage stats?

That sounds very high for a Lightning, I'm running 2.0 to 2.4 for mixed HWY & CITY

Were you going slow 25-35?

They were negative numbers which makes no sense. I was in a construction zone on I-80 crawling for 15 miles.

Delete that record from your history, it's garbage......

Also reset your trip meters and driving stat's on the center console settings

Thanks, I thought so. Since this is my first EV I thought I was missing something.

Here is my daily commute. Should get great mileage moving forward. This is with 2 pedal driving. I bet I can get better with 1-pedal.

Same boat here - delivery pushed out TWO WEEKS, from 10/09 to 10/23 as the truck sits in Philly (since Sunday morning), only 70 miles from my dealer. I could go down there to drive it back any time if they allow me.
