  1. Midnight Musings: That AC Smell

    For whatever reason, I am up later than I intended and walked up to my truck, which was charging after I ran it down to 13% over the past couple of days. I typically only charge to 60%, but last night there was a thunderstorm. I might be a bit paranoid, but I’d rather skip plugging in my truck...
  2. Coolant valve broken, no parts, buyback: Fix#92

    Precisely this. Ford conducting business in such a manner makes me consider if they are more interested in buying back units experiencing issues, than carrying the potential liability until 2033, or 2034, in the case of units sold new this year. I like my truck, but only if it is supported for...
  3. Coolant valve broken, no parts, buyback: Fix#92

    It’s not ideal, but have you seen the temporary fix method by Martin Rebuilds? Depending on the mode of failure, it may at least get you your vehicle back running while your dealer locate the correct part. I hope that @Ford Motor Company makes this right, expeditiously. It does not seem that...
  4. Blue Oval Says Next Gen Ford F-150 Lightning Customers Will Be Long Distance Drivers

    I think some folks believe they are willing to drive for longer stretches than they typically do in practice, as well as the requirement of a mandatory stop(s) for charging versus a potential stop for rest/safety. I roadtrip with my friends all across the SE USA and all agree that our bodies...
  5. My Lightning Found a Deer. It Wasn't a Draw. Repair vs. Upgrade Advice Needed

    Are you around Athens? Classic City Collision has done good repair work on our Lightning Fleet at work.
  6. My SR Lightning grew up. ;-)

    It seems for me my mi/kWh improved dramatically near overnight. For example, my usual trip home from work traditionally netted me 2.3 mi/kWh. Since midsummer, this has somehow increased to 2.7 almost routinely. HVAC blasting Max A/C (it’s humid in GA) and a 40/50 mix of surface and highway...
  7. My lower air dam came off on one side and was dragging on the ground. Has anyone had this covered under warranty?

    This. Dispatched a raccoon some months ago and lost my active air dam. I haven’t observed any noticeable loss of efficiency or additional cabin noise.
  8. Compressor surging while running AC + DCFC??

    By chance, could this be the active air shutters for the condenser/radiator inlet? I hear something akin to what you described primarily in cold weather operation. I have not observed such behavior in hot weather (DCFC while towing in SC this past weekend, the truck stated the ambient...
  9. Clicking but it keeps on ticking.

    I think I have a similar noise. I think it’s friction brakes engaging. I use one pedal drive and am unsure at what point they are actually active.
  10. Latest Update - Entertainment Additions?

    Same experience here. I only have the YouTube app, and a handful of games.
  11. Slight Reduction In Acceleration. Has Anyone Else Experienced This Issue.

    I feel similarly about the acceleration, but I’d also add-in the deceleration rate in 1-pedal drive seems to be reduced. I thought it was from screwing around (added the glare-free option) in FORScan, but it is interesting to see others reporting the same. I haven’t done any concrete analysis...
  12. Charging hot battery

    My truck will run the cooling fan and coolant pump at times when (AC) charging at home on a hot day. I’ve also heard (what I assume) is the chiller compressor running when I have arrived home and started charging with the temperature slider above the middle marker on hot days. I think (I could...
  13. Upgrade just for the bigger battery?

    You may want to thoroughly question your dealer about the 30D $7500 tax incentive and the eligibility for the 2025 Flash. The attached screenshots were shared earlier today in the Facebook Ford F-150 Lightning Owners Group. From my understanding (which could be flawed), 2025 mid-range (Flash)...
