I should have posted pics, a great fit.

My Ford-Lectron adapter arrived and looks pretty sturdy. It still fits in my Crown Royal bag, so no need for a new case.

My HIS finally came alive and seems to reliably transfer power now. Ford sent me a link to the energy.ford.com site and asked for a review. I can log in and get to the screen but all the functions are dead, so they may not have activated me in that system. That would not be a surprise.

I just got it too, after getting 6.5 a few days ago. I did lose some, but not all radio presets on the 6.5.0 update. I am almost up to 9 months behind now, gaining ground! ?

Yes, the model is out on printables.com. I added a STEP file for those that can/want to modify it. https://www.printables.com/model/920192-amped-up-ford-lightning-license-plate-frame

I did this PETG license plate frame in 2 pieces on my Prusa Mk3. It seems to be holding up well after about 9 months.

#5479 just delivered (6/17/24). The travel case is ready too. We now have less stressful summer mobility. Thanks Ford!

Yup, same sound of the motor struggling. Occasionally it fails even though it makes it to the latch when the truck is pointing up hill. It always makes it on the second attempt.

I will wait for the Stage 3 Kit, that can pump 450 CFM at full boost into the upcoming Li-Air pack for unprecedented charging performance with a CFM to Amp ratio >1:1. ? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium%E2%80%93air_battery

#5479 shipped today.

My iPhone charges and operates fine. It can get warm when charging from a low level and CarPlay active, but not excessively hot. I have an iPhone 14 plus. I place it with its screen facing up, the top of phone toward drivers side, and I push the phone all the way to the passenger side of the...

The slider allows you to change the charge level on the fly. The old “charge to 100%” button was more convenient as it was a 1 time thing that I needed to do once every 2 or 3 weeks. This works, but it is “sticky” and stays there until I remember to go back in and lower it to my regular 85% level.

#5479 pushed from May to June.

Feb 29 order #5479, May ship.

‘97 T100 that I sold to the gardener and it still comes to visit often. Hands down the most reliable vehicle that I have ever owned. It doesn’t hold a candle to the Lightning, now the most enjoyable vehicle I have ever owned.
