There is nothing wrong with your battery and nothing your dealer can or will do. The truck generates range and power usage estimates based on a number of factors and it is almost useless when the truck is brand new. As with any vehicle, your range depends on how YOU drive it and maintain it. Since you live in FL while cold may not be a major range impact, heat will. As will initial and final SOC, tire pressure and tread wear, load in the vehicle, wind, rain, etc. The vehicles range estimates will get better with time but know that they are ALWAYS conservative values until you get to within 30 miles of a dead battery. Then you get very close to real data. I have about 16,000 miles on my December 2023 build Lightning Lariat and I average around 2.0 to 2.1 Kw/mi total. On the highway I drive between 70-75, I do keep crap in my truck so it's always got some extra "junk in the trunk," and I tend to accelerate smoothly and try to brake slowly and smoothly. I get about 300-320 miles of range in optimal conditions (dry roads, 65-70F, 100% to 10% SOC, light winds, properly inflated tires, etc.) which is what I expect. If the weather is bad or I'm being impatient, I get more like 270 miles of range. Be patient and be realistic. The Lightning isn't magic and Ford hasn't yet discovered a perfect battery. Nor has anyone else. Either way, there is no data to suggest any issue with your battery. I have expertise in this field so this isn't a hunch on my part. Your truck and battery are performing as expected. If you do have a problem, the truck will tell you and you will know. All the best and happy motoring! @Ford Motor Company if you disagree, please reach out to this customer.
