Long time listener, first time caller...

All kidding aside; been lurking here a bit while making my decision.

Tomorrow I take delivery of a '24 Lightning Lariat in Antimatter Blue. More to come. I have questions..so many questions

I know your feeling - having bought my Flash (also in AM Blue) on Monday.

Enjoy!

Excited for you. I don't think you will be disappointed. I can't begin to tell you how helpful this forum has been to me.

Welcome!!!

I put this little PSA in the "Welcome" thread..your range will tank in winter...OTA updates are a total crapshoot...dealership responsiveness is highly variable...your battery module will fail (...or maybe not...at anywhere from 4%-100%...depending on who you ask)...there are a million thoughts on charging (only real consensus is don't go to 0% and avoid 100% consistently (or don't) - But search up MickeyAO for scientific research on the matter))...Ford Navigation totally sucks (only topic that is 100% agreement - get ABRP and PlugShare apps)...Guess O Meter (range estimate) is a liar...Tesla superchargers are the best (or not)....have a wrench handy to disconnect 12V for any problem you face (it works all the time 80% of the time)...and enjoy the hell out of the truck (or don't...and then complain incessantly about it's shortcomings)...

But in all seriousness...this an incredible forum with a ton of great information (both scientific and real world) with people who want to help one another.

Before you ask anything, make sure to do a thorough search and exhaust all resources. I got yelled at a couple of times already and I am new as well haha

Hey Joe - where in MT? I'm in Spokane / Coeur D'Alene area... how's your rig doing in the winter...not that we've had much of one this year...

Thanks for the warm welcome all - seems like a great place to be.

Any recommendations on a 'noob' thread for first time Lightning owner?
