Thanks for this. It's a bizarre protocol. I'm curious about what exactly this reset does. But, hey, if it can save me from doing a trickle charge and will restore my OTAs, it a lovely little dance. How many miles charges the 12v? Thanks again

Thanks

Thanks a lot! I'm having a devil of a time w/the current OTA after years w/zero probs.

sorry for this question on a long ago post. I understand your response to mean that the panel to side of the frunk is provided to jump the truck using the 12v battery. Do you also think that these terminals are not the right ones for trickle charging the battery? Thanks

Farley thought the world was going to be vastly different than it turned out to be when he greenlit the Lightning. His biggest misstep was that he was confident that new battery tech would be able to extract weight and cost in a few years. That fundamental innovation hasn't happened. Solid...

My truck came with an 80amp Ford Charger Pro. It's a monster and adds 30+ miles per hour.

Regen braking may or may not be the default. It certainly can be turned off (General setting I believe). The add'l torque in Sport makes driving even more fun, enhances traction and, most importantly, extends Range in my view.

Sport is much more fun. Setting that aside, regen braking in that mode is much more stout. I am able to extend my range significantly more when I use Sport. It's been my default for years.

stay in Sport Mode and use ReGen braking

I love doing business there.

Thanks for the reply. We agree it's a bridge. I think it's great and that it will extend range on the few occasions thats really needed. I don't see alternatives for allowing the Lightning to tow for more than, say, 150 mi. We're just shooting the breeze here. None of us knows the...

FWIW, I consider the EREV product as fully within the EV frame. Congrats on your sustainability. We haven't been to a gas station in three years except to get diesel for the tractor. I wonder if next gen battery tech will enable heavier duty trucks than the 150 to adopt elec propulsion. Ford...

I see that vehicle as a SUV with a truck body with little in common with a F-150. Also suspect Rivian may go the way of the delorean. It's not close to having a nationwide dealer network. But it's a great product for some.

Thanks for the comment. Hopefully Ford will benefit from lessons learned. I like it and am willing to accept modest annual maintenance for the generator even if it not used. To each their own. I understand why some push back. The eventual solution will come from next gen battery techs that...
