  1. Charge into the holiday weekend with Ford - more chargers, better tools, and holiday discounts!

    No worries! And I did try to attach a video of how to do it to the original post and the formatting kept breaking (or I don't know what I'm doing, that's also possible) but just for everyone's benefit I'll attach it here: P&C is awesome but it works at 6 of the 22 partners you get access to...
  2. Charge into the holiday weekend with Ford - more chargers, better tools, and holiday discounts!

    There's a lot to celebrate (and hit the road for) this week! Happy 🇨🇦 Day today to our friends to the north (or south from our office in Detroit ;) and Happy 250th 🎂 to the US this weekend! The summer road trip season is in full swing – and with another busy travel weekend ahead of us, your...
  3. Wow, got the monthly reminder to charge to 100% and the GOM was generous this time.

    OP is receiving this message for their Mustang Mach-E. That's why no F-150 Lightning driver sees it.
  4. Wow, got the monthly reminder to charge to 100% and the GOM was generous this time.

    The message inbox is for the account, not for the specific vehicle. The LFP message is sent that frequently if the vehicle is being driven and not charged to 100%. Out of curiosity, why isn't it being charged to 100%?
  5. Wow, got the monthly reminder to charge to 100% and the GOM was generous this time.

    Hey there @Discwizard70 - do you also happen to have a Standard Range Mustang Mach-E in your Ford app account? If so, that's who that message was targeted to. There are no LFP F-150 Lightings, so no F-150 Lightnings should get this message. And just for everyone else - the LFP charge to 100%...
  6. Thanks, Pro Power Onboard

    We had the opposite kind of storm (ice) and was glad to have the option of using PPO as well to keep heaters running, and of course the coffee made ;)
  7. What exactly does the Platinum have that makes it get less range? Just the wheels?

    Wheels are a huge contributor to range - the Platinum weighs more than other trims which also hurts range, but the 22" wheels are by far the largest contributor.
  8. Out with HIS, in with GenerLink

    Because the GenerLink + Ford product is in soft launch... not every state is listed yet, but they eventually will. $1,099 for the GenerLink, 20' GenerLok Cable, Ford Vehicle Connector. Longer GenerLok cables add cost. Meter-Mounted...
  9. App charging - preferred time weirdness ??

    Preferred Charge Times are just that - preferred. Check out the examples here: go.ford/chargetimes Departure Times, your arrival SoC, your charge rate, your target SoC, and the size of the preferred charging windows within the current and following day all matter to whether the charge takes...
  10. Out with HIS, in with GenerLink

    This is exactly what an electrician would do to install the meter-adjacent GenerLink solution. As you said, it's work any licensed electrician should be able to do. The reason the utility needs to approve the meter-mounted GenerLink solution is because it touches their property - their meter.
  11. Out with HIS, in with GenerLink

    The reason there are two different mounting solutions for the GenerLink is because of the different level of utility approval. You absolutely need utility approval to do the meter-mounted solution. The meter-adjacent solution may or may not need utility approval depending on your jurisdiction as...
  12. Android Auto Preconditioning

    That's very possible. I'll talk to them too... I await a DM so we can diagnose your truck.
  13. Android Auto Preconditioning

    The software was deployed, Brian may have been confused about if it had happened - I'll talk to Brian today about it. Your vehicle would then have the software that enables it - it was delivered in 2023 - so if you do not believe it's working I would love to dive deeper via DM to see what is...
  14. Android Auto Preconditioning

    The requirements are different by battery and by which charger power the vehicle receives from the navigation source. A slower DCFC may not result in any heating at all. The battery does not heat simply because a charger is selected - the battery heats when heating is needed for charging...
  15. Out with HIS, in with GenerLink

    Is it possible to park the truck closer in an emergency? I would always advise against extension cords for anything charging. Extra connections are extra points of failure.
