Does anyone notice a parallel between American's "fear" of charging a car and the folks in this thread and their dislike/distrust/dis-something of YouTube? It humors me.

I'm surprised no mention of the home power backup hasn't been mentioned. While that wasn't a reason I bought the truck, I thought it was a cool side effect...until I saw the actual cost. I never did it. I believe this is a major failure. I also think a combination of the first reduction in...

I got the Lightning because if fit my "mission". City truck stuff, no towing, 90 minutes to the airport a few times a month. It's a great fit for me...and most people if they researched on their own vs listening to the news. Wait for this winter's EV horror stories.

I haven't towed anything, so I can't speak to that, but travelling in this truck is a non-event. Ford let the media own the narrative about the charging infrastructure. Yes, in the ealier days is was mediocre. With the addition of the Tesla network, that changed and has continued to greatly...

Via...? I've not had this happen. I did recently do the process to turn off the seatbelt chime, but I don't think that did it.

Having BC on in stop and go traffic is not unlike an airplane autolanding...the whole time you should be on edge waiting for it to eF up. I'm enjoying the latest BC, but I use it at hwy speed and generally kick it off if the traffic becomes stop & go as I can do that better.

Yes, glad I didn't spend the extra to have that contraption installed.

I get it. I figured it was a useful efficiency thing. Now it is sitting in my garage and my efficiency hasn't changed a bit.

I did a round trip (3.5 hours each direction) with old timey blue cruise...and it was fine. The day after I returned I got the BC update. I had the same round trip lined up the next week. Trip A was about 1/2 back roads and 1/2 highway. Trip B I purposely went all highway to put the new BC to...

I think we are saying the same thing. But - he did mention, this job was to update 2 modules, for pay of .3 each module. Yet, that .3 doesn't take into account all of the other supporting modules that have to be updated. He also talked about how bad pay at the dealership is. My impression was...

I just had mobile service stop by to do the front sensor update. I asked and he said for those updates required by the dealership, it automatically updates everything as the new stuff likely has dependencies on the newer versions of everything. This may be why there are some updates that have...

higher psi, slower in the corners.

So I've driven the truck on 2 of my longer usual round trips now. I do this drive 3 to 4 times a month. About an hour each direction and 95% highway. My mileage on these last two trips is the same as it ever was. Zero change in economy.

Welp, mine is now completely removed. I too am curious on the efficiency difference. I'll get an idea tomorrow.
