How far have we gone? Your Lightning mileage?

[MM in SouthTX]

Delivered October 5th. I have 20,684 miles. My only issue was a rattle in the passenger A-pillar from a loose pano roof drain tube.

Not to derail the thread, but I have a rattle from time to time towards the back right of my moon roof. If I open and close the roof it helps, so I think it is how the roof seats, but could it be the drain tube you are talking about?

Other than that, no issues, except that I pretty much won't take it out of town due to charger scarcity.

5K since Jan 23. Mechanically, it has been perfect. Software has a lot of growing to do. I baby the battery but it is already down to 98% health. Only a few minutes of DCFC for testing . All home charging at or bellow 30 amp In good temps. Still happy I went with Pro. If I ever upgrade to longer range vehicle, I probably get a more efficient vehicle (not a truck). Over all, putting sport ICE cars in my mirror from time to time, still puts a smile on my face. Glad to read high milage folks are trouble free.

I bought in September and should be at 15K, with my old F150 I did like 5- 6k a year. Best vehicle I have ever purchssed and I have had no problems. I started out heavy DCFC the first 3 months but now all home at 48A to 80% every other night and DCFC once a month when needed.

How do you know this?

from OBD-II reader. I was at 100% SOH around 4K and people around 10K have reported 100% SOH. I am not sure if the recent update make the system telling the truth or my battery just does not like hot weather unplugged. High acceleration is very occasional and short. Most of the time my power band is bellow 20%. I am still not sure what else I can do to improve battery life.

Took deliveries Dec 16 and only have 3600 miles. Pretty painless thus far, slight rattle in driver side door and that is about it. Still waiting for PaaK on lower trim trucks

That isn't a drain. That is the panel itself, and one of the reasons why I didn't want one to begin with. One of the panels could be loose.

Jan. 30, 2023 - 19,300 mi

I took delivery of my 2023 Lightning Pro SR on the same day in Riverside, California. 10,402 miles. Seven trips of more than 500 miles, two of more than 1500 miles. Only serious problem: The charging port door wouldn’t open and I had to pry it off with my fingers while on a road trip. The dealer replaced the whole assembly under warranty.

Got the truck delivered June 16, 2023 and have 2258 miles on it.

1532 of those were on a road trip from Palm Springs up the CA coast to San Francisco, to Coloma for two days' camping and whitewater rafting, back down the coast and home to Palm Springs in 15 days. No issues with the truck. No trouble finding open chargers. Never even had to wait.

We had a tent, three air mattresses and a pump, a coffee maker, two duffle bags and two bags of bedding in the frunk. Four hybrid bikes (front wheels off), helmets and a compressor in the bed under a tonneau. Two duffles, a small cooler and four people in the cab. Had to run AC almost the entire trip. Drove my normal 80mph on the freeway. And still got 2.1 m/KwH average for the trip. About 1/3 of the electricity was free (hotels/parking structures with chargers, etc).

So...

I LOVE my truck!

Off topic but I don’t want to start a new thread for this. Does anyone know how to turn off the truck without opening the door after pressing the Power/Stop button?

[Zprime29]

Feb 2023, have 8500 miles (had 600 on it when purchased). Had to get driver side lumbar and front passenger window regulator fixed. Will do the "click" TSB when I take it in for the 10K service.
