It works that way with our Kia also.. I assumed that the difficulty was because a lot of the app functions cannot be done through WIFI and, even thought the truck has a modem, it seems like certain functions and updates cannot be done over wifi. I say that because we have no cellular service...

I appreciate this so much; and I believe you. Of course I want to believe you. But I've been an EV owner for 4 years now - my first one was an EV6 Wind AWD. It seems like this idea of over charging and experiencing noticable degradation is not new, but, at least on YouTube Premium there is...

Oh thanks for that. I didn't realize that. I mostly charge at home so I was referring to my AC charging. I suppose that setting has to be done in the truck, not on the app?

I wouldn't think that Ford would have the AC default charge limit of 100% if it is bad for it. If I want to only charge to 80% I have to set a temporary limit each time I charge at home. But that isn't necessarily true. They might just expect you to change that every time.

When I saw Jim Farley standing next to Trump sitting in the oval office, not long before he made the decision to discontinue the F-150, I thought that the meeting among those men, and other CEOs who were present, probably had something to do with it.

Thanks for that. I have been kind of wondering how the preconditioning works. I have a 2024 Flash that we are leasing. Reading this thread it looks like the preconditioning works like my Kia EV6. One has to set a destination to get the precondition to come on before charging the battery...

To be fair, I don't think there were many of the American dealerships who were ready for this transition to electric. We leased a 2022 Kia EV6 in the fall of that year. The dealership had just hired a specialist in the service dept. who didn't know as much about the car as I did. We took it...

When hauling the 4X8 piece of plywood and some drywall, I laid them flat in the bed with the tailgate down and put a towing strap over the material and the tailgate. The PVC was the first thing I noticed it with about a week earlier. I just drove the 50 miles home with it hanging over the...

A few weeks ago I had two 10ft. pieces of PVC which I let hang over the edge with the tailgate up. The cameras in the rear-view mirrors would have been able to see it as they stuck out maybe a foot on one side. But that also caused a warning on the dash that disabled the lane keeping function...

Why is it that when I put a couple of pieces of plywood (or anything else) that hangs out of the bed of the truck; it defeats the lane-keeping function. I'm not using blue cruise but just the basic cruise. There is only about 2.5 ft. sticking out the back of the truck with the tailgate up. I...

Putting my 2024 Flash in Sport is a noticeable upgrade in acceleration. Sometimes I will put it in Sport when needing to pass on a 2-lane road. When my wife is along, I usually put it back in Normal :angel: Sort of tricky though. I have to take my eyes briefly off the road to make that change.

Having said that, now I have had several instances where I came back after pressing that slider to keep the power on and it was off. This last time I was about 79 ft. from the truck when I remembered to lock it. So I took out the key Fob and locked it. When I came back the freezer was off...

I know. The more I hear lately is try to keep my '24 Flash. Still got about 20 months on the lease. With the tax rebate and some dealer incentives here in Idaho they were able to sell me on the lease and the payments were less than my 2019 Ram 1500. I still had over 4 years to pay on the...
