  1. Water in rear light bar

    Add me to the list of people having this issue. Had it at the dealer today to fix a flat (not cool!) And they said that Ford actually has a service bulletin out about it. They're gonna replace the entire light bar assembly once the part gets in. My issue was isolated to the reverse lights which...
  2. List of dealers with Lightning DEMO MANNEQUINS AVAILABLE FOR TEST DRIVES

    Barber Ford in Hazelton, PA (who I had my original reservation with and never responded to any communication) reached out to me last week about one. Lariat SR. 2300 miles priced at $90k and being sold as used and originally titled to the dealer. I chuckled and let them know in the time they were...
  3. New Electrify America EA Chargers Are Failing in the Cold

    Sitting at a new EA 350kw station right now. 12 degrees. Sub-Zero wind chills. Activated thru the Ford Pass app with no issues. Getting anywhere from 85-95kW.
  4. To the Standard Range people. Any regrets not going Extended Range?

    Good looking out. It's actually NY that I've been watching for weeks. The one in Newburgh off I-84 is gonna be key for me. Looks like at least 3 of the 4 have been reliable. Hoping that trend continues. There's a Shell one in Middletown I've been scoping too but I think the weather on Friday is...
  5. To the Standard Range people. Any regrets not going Extended Range?

    Absolutely no regrets. I live in a colder climate area and still haven't had issues with regular daily use. Even had a 100+ mile trip each way in a snow storm and it was fine with a charge while it was parked. I'll really be putting it to the test going from CT to PA on Christmas eve night with...
  6. Email today from Ford

    Got the same. I reserved in the first 12 hours. Ironically, I cancelled yesterday after I recently got one off a dealer's lot.
  7. Harrisburg to NEPA - 100 miles in the snow - Lightning Lariat SR (standard range)

    I didn't see too many fast options unfortunately from what I was able to research. Seems the further west you get in the state, the fewer fast charging options that are available. I know the Walmarts in Scranton and Stroudsburg have EA setups. Thankfully I don't need to rely on those much but...
  8. Harrisburg to NEPA - 100 miles in the snow - Lightning Lariat SR (standard range)

    Same tires here. They did ok. It was mostly highway with a layer of slush so definitely not the 3-4 accumulation. I actually felt more stable on the back roads when I got off the highway that had probably a solid half inch layer of fresh powder. On the highway, a couple times it felt like it...
  9. Harrisburg to NEPA - 100 miles in the snow - Lightning Lariat SR (standard range)

    Today was my first real winter driving test. Sorry if it's "duh" info for EV vets but thought it might be helpful for newbies like me. Long story short, snow storm swept across PA today and I was working about 100 miles from home in Harrisburg for the day. Going on down was cold - low to mid...
  10. Wildlife Close Calls

    Perhaps the dumbest thing I'll post on here ? but is anyone else seemingly having closer calls with wildlife (mainly deer - I'm in semi-rural PA) with this truck? Is it just me? Feels like they can't hear or feel the truck coming. In all seriousness, I wonder if insurance for electric vehicles...
  11. Departure and comfort not working

    Make 3 for this. Heated steering wheel doesn't wanna work for a day or so after preconditioning
  12. NEPA to NYC Round Trip in Lightning Lariat SR -- Lessons Learned

    Very helpful thanks! I was trying to follow the directions from Ford's email ?. They might want to revise that one!
  13. NEPA to NYC Round Trip in Lightning Lariat SR -- Lessons Learned

    Perhaps a dumb question, but how do you do that? I plugged it in but didn't see any prompts in the app nor could I find how to navigate to a spot where I could start the session in the app.
  14. NEPA to NYC Round Trip in Lightning Lariat SR -- Lessons Learned

    I've had my Lariat SR for a week now and Saturday was my first experiment doing more than the standard running around town. I live in Northeastern PA and was heading to the Bronx for the Yankees game (don't wanna talk about that part!). Just wanted to share the experience and some lessons...
