There is a trade-off between size and 'quality' 'fidelity' or whatever you want to call it. For in a truck, with the OEM system, MP3 or WMA work fine to my ear. However, since I use my players with higher tech stereos sometimes, I opt for WMA "Lossless" which is original CD quality no data is...

Yes so sloppy that they included ICE language in the EV warranty...lazy lawyers?

Total 100,599 US sales...what about world wide I wonder?

Could you guys STFU and stick to the subject which is a charging problem...how ironic you want to criticise someone for doing exactly what you have now done - fill the thread with irrelevant BS! Take your fight to direct messages maybe?

I believe the 12v system would power the J1772 signals needed to charge L2.

Are you able to charge L2 at home? So the dealership charged it DC fast charging? If it is just L2 (AC charging) then it is likely the on-board charger or a wire connecting the charge port to it. The Ford dealership should be able to figure that out! When all else fails, contact the BEV team...

That has been an issue - something happens with the pin that locks the plug when dc charging from what I read anyway, and I think the locking mechanism may be powered by the 12v system, which as we know has had many various issues.

1) it is the DC-DC converter that runs the 12VDC system including charging the 12V battery - the DC-DC converter takes high voltage DC (400V) from the Li battery and steps is down to 12VDC. 2) the "inverters" are used for the Pro Power On Board to take the high voltage DC (400V) and step it...

If the funky CD is something you really have to have, and cleaning it doesn't cure the issue, there are several on-line sites where you can find just about anything that was ever put on CD, if you just want the MP3 of the tunes that didn't play, there are other sites for that, like iTunes. My...

Well GM and Nissan are working on Solid State Batteries, and I guess Ford is too? https://www.f150lightningforum.com/forum/threads/ford-increases-investment-in-solid-state-battery-startup-solid-power.3412/

LOL, when I used to drive around with my dad, if he saw a broken down car by the side of the road he used to say jokingly "get a horse!" "What does that mean?" I asked and got a long lesson in roaming history. And apparently in those good ole simpler days, horse 'brownies' were a major...

Yea I guess I'm showing my age...it was not uncommon back in my early days of driving when tires were simply wheel balloons, and men were men...lol

Re MUSK: He sure posts some idiotic things on line.

So far I am fairly happy with my own personal experience of almost 2 years with my 2023 Lightning. But that said... China is eating American's lunch around the world with EV sales because of legacy automakers in the US dropping the ball on EVs. The quote that the "EV market is shrinking" is...

Yes it looks to be in the danger zone. I once repaired a tire with a plug that was in about that location, it held for a few months but then failed at speed and tore the tire up, so if you try patching it yourself, be prepared. Do tire shops ever consider putting a tube inside a tire like that...
