  1. 2022 Platinum 22" replacement tires needed - which one would you choose?

    I just replaced 22” General Grabber HTS60 (at 43,000 miles) with Bridgestone Dueler Ascent A/T. After a few hundred miles, I don’t see any appreciable difference in range/efficiency or ride comfort. Noise may be a bit louder, but barely noticeable over the typical wind noise. Happy so far.
  2. Can I / Should I swap Flash Wheels for Platinum Wheels

    Some other notes… FWIW. The ride is noticeably stiffer with the 22” vs 18”, and I did use Forscan to adjust the wheel circumference so that speedometer and odometer remained accurate. There are calculators online that will tell you the circumference difference for any tires you’re considering.
  3. Can I / Should I swap Flash Wheels for Platinum Wheels

    I changed out the 18 inch stock wheels on my Pro for 22 inch wheels (Ford Performance) and tires that match the Platinum sizing. The 22 inch General Grabbers are almost done at 40,000 miles, with the outer edges definitely wearing faster than the rest of the tire. Unofficially, comparing my...
  4. Did Ford change the motors or throttle response for 2024?

    Does your new Flash have different/larger wheels? That could affect acceleration.
  5. Adding Heated Seats to Pro?

    As mentioned, fuse slot #37 worked for 12V ignition power (see fuse box or manual to locate it, under the glove box). I don't remember for sure, but I think I used this add-a-circuit to tap into it: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08DLXWTQY/
  6. Best way to drive on the expressway for maximum battery life?

    As said above, it’s a balance between drive time and charge time. There is no magic speed that will be optimal for everyone or every trip. Here’s my real-world data (Pro SR with platinum wheels). The variation at each speed is mostly explained by air temps and wind speed.
  7. Just took a 450 intersate road trip in a standard range lightning. Never again

    FWIW, here’s my real-world data, including temps ranging from 30-80 deg F. (SR Pro with 22” wheels and Grabber HTS60 tires).
  8. Living with the Standard Range battery in the Lightning

    Here's my real-world data (Based on 20-mile tests. For range, multiply by 98kwh). The variation at each speed is generally predictable based on Headwind and Temperature. I've charged at several 62.5kw Chargepoint stations and I usually average 45-55kw on those.
  9. Surprised by tire wear

    That’s correct. I changed to the Ford Performance 22” wheels with the same Grabber tires that come stock on Platinums. Link below to the wheels I have. Total weight with 33" Grabber tires was 87lbs, vs 70-something for stock 18's with 32" Michelins. I don't have solid data to back this up...

  11. Surprised by tire wear

    My SE Pro with 22" General Grabber HTS60 was measuring 7/32" on front and 8/32" on rear when rotated at @11K miles. I keep them around 42PSI. I guess that puts me on track for about 25K life span.
  12. Mysterious double chime while driving

    Same here - my Pro model gives seemingly random double chime alerts (same as the "school zone" notification, but without any messages appearing).
  13. XLT OEM Bed Lights Install

    I took a chance on this set for only $16. The quality feels good and the color seems to match the other LED's just fine. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B081S85YGJ I initially missed that there are 3 lines to update in Forscan. Once I figured that out the bed lights started working, both with the...
  14. Adding Heated Seats to Pro?

    I installed the Rostra seat heaters and lumbar support into the Pro. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/rpc-250-1900 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00D4BNC8E Used open fuse slot #37 for ignition-on power, and ran the wires under the flooring. The trickiest part for me was disconnecting the seat...
  15. Heated Steering wheel and heated seats retrofit insatall on a PRO ??
