Keep meaning to circle back here.... I got my truck back on the 17th. After it sat at the dealer with nothing happening for weeks, and after getting a new specialist assigned because the first one went on leave, it finally got escalated to Ford for repair. From what I'm told, what they did...

Got a shipping notice for mine a week ago, and it arrived today. Order # 35271. Sadly my truck is in its fourth week at the dealer with a bad battery and I'm wondering if I'll ever even get to try it. :(

Low degradation is all well and good, but what about catastrophic failure rates? And averages are great for fleets, but if you're an individual you don't own a fleet. You can't amortize failure costs out across dozens of vehicles. If you draw the short straw, your battery failure means a...

:( Mine's already back in the shop. I took it on one trip - a ~220 mile trip that I've made 30+ times without issue, and I had to charge 30 miles from home. Then after charging at home, on Sunday I drove a mile before getting the High Voltage Battery Warning / Pull over now message and had to...

I'll send you who in a DM, but I don't want to throw them under the bus. They're still the best option around here.

I got my truck back this morning. The notes say that Module #8 was replaced. I lost the service counter lottery and got the prickly guy instead of one of the other - nicer - people that I had previously been talking to, so I got terse partial answers to my questions. For example he couldn't be...

Friday is here... I heard Wednesday that the part wouldn't be in until today, so I likely wouldn't have my truck back until Monday. Today the word is part Wednesday, maybe.... The dealer is being extremely pleasant and nice about it... but they don't have a loaner for me to drive, and...

My dealer says that I do, in fact, need a module replaced. They also said it should be done Friday. ?

Good luck with yours as well! Hopefully the parts are flowing faster these days...

Yes. When the error first came up it didn't show reduced power (or I didn't notice?), but after a few miles it dropped down to 59%, and then on the way to the dealer 56%. I had the power reduction issue happen once during the summer at full charge, but without the error message and the...

This week was my week for this issue as well. Had the truck in for 30k service and tires last Monday. When I got it back my range was low, but I never trust the estimated range anymore anyway... Thursday I drove it 180 miles. I told it to charge to 100%, and had set a departure time. When the...

It shouldn't have to be like that. However factual discussion of the issue is apparently too political for this forum, so I'm out.

This really is about the definition of "share." Providing a datapoint to enable a function is a completely different proposition to providing a datapoint that the recipient gets to keep, sell, or build into a product they own after they're done providing the function you wanted. You should, and...

My personal experience is the EA stations are the ones you look for. First of all they work with BlueOval plug-and-charge, which has been 1000% rock-solid in my experience. Plus they have a higher ceiling. Yeah you might only get a fraction of the rated charging rate. But if you go to the...

I'm adding you to my short list of people I'd be happy to purchase a used vehicle from. One of the reasons I picked the Lightning over the Rivian was that at the expected production volumes I think that we will have good aftermarket part support. I'm envisioning this tray as a Dorman part...
