  1. Vehicle not obeying charge times!!!

    Follow up: So today (saturday) at 3pm i stopped the charge as we had a few errands to fun. To recap I have my time set from 10am - 6pm for charge and the limit at 100%. Last night it ignored the start time and just started rolling around 3:30am. Tonight around 7 i plugged it back in...
  2. Vehicle not obeying charge times!!!

    Having similar issue myself. I have solar at home and so my ideal charging time is 10am - 6pm (10am is when the panels typically generate around 7kW on the way up to 15kW). The F150 mobile charger is a little pokey, so on a weekend i'll charge over two day sessions. Yesterday (saturday) it...
  3. 23 XLT ER - Recurring Major System Failures

    Kacey Musgraves….a good choice.
  4. Lightning vs Rivian - new truck buyer…

    In Feb I bought my 24 Flash ExtRange w 9.2kW. I also looked hard at the Rivian. I live in SF Bay Area and split my time in Grass Valley - about 360 miles around trip. Since 2016 I had leased 2x Model S and an X since 2016. So I’ve seen all the tech. Rivian is a ground up purpose built EV and...
  5. Audio off

    Hank, I have not had this problem again since my post. I’d say try to reboot screen. Could be a handshake issue there. I think you might try to start your car without your phone connected and see if you can get it working on its own. If you’re using CarPlay I would also say may sure your phone...
  6. Phantom alert tones ... with no alert message?

    Yes I got them today on the highway. I’m pretty certain they are related to the driver alert system that prompts you to watch the road. I was looking at the screen a couple of times and hear the quick double beeps.
  7. leaking tonneau cover - need to replace

    Sorry to hear you’re having an issue. I’ve recently installed a retractable Realtruck RETRAX. We just had a ton of rain and it’s staying very dry. I recall during install the things that count were making sure the main rubber seal at the front lays flat on the box. It was also noted to...
  8. Dog Mode for the Lightning?

    No reason really. This convo wound up in Dog Mode as I jumped protocol putting two subjects in the same thread back when I got my F150 after having 3 Teslas. Beyond the slower charging I am loving most everything about the Lightning.
  9. Dog Mode for the Lightning?

    This isn't actually the case. After a month of charging with the F150 using the same NEMA plug / 50amp circuit at my two locations. The Tesla charged at a max of 32amp / 7.6kW and and the F150 at a max of 7.2kWh (the most I'm getting). It would seem that they would bank similar amount of...
  10. Audio off

    Replying to this thread as this happened to me yesterday in my 1 mo old 24 Flash. The car audio was off - though the chimes felt like they were coming thru the speakers. The Sound menu in the car settings was greyed out, and the Radio Audio was off (see enclosed). I had read the forum and...
  11. Tesla Supercharger Charging with A2Z Adapter - Positive and Negative Experiences

    As a former owner of 3x Teslas....who gives a fig what Tesla drivers think? Their boss has sold access to Ford, Rivian and others.
  12. Dog Mode for the Lightning?

    Fair enough. Such and easy thing to make better. I ran it yesterday by just turning climate on and extending time in the cab. But that's about 30 minutes. I'll try your method as well. #3 best thing about Tesla was that the inverter allowed about 23-25 mph on the NEMA 15-40 plug. Getting...
  13. Dog Mode for the Lightning?

    New F150 owner. Former owner of 3 Teslas. 2x model S and 1x model X. The very best things about Teslas are 1. Dog Mode and 2. Supercharger network. Ford has adopted the second. They need to adopt the first. I drove 115K of EV miles without a hitch. Very happy to move to Ford, but this is...
