I’m 0 for 4 on getting the magic dock out. I don’t even bother trying anymore…it’s just faster for me to use the adapter than fiddle with it.

I wouldn’t worry in a standard range truck to make that trip as long as you don’t take it over 70 mph. However, I would check PlugShare to make sure that the charger was functioning and reliable.

If the entire battery isn’t available, what’s the point? On a road trip, I’m monitoring how much I charge and compare it to how much I’m using. With the standard range battery, it’s simple math. And the GOM may be inaccurate, but the BMS is spot on. That’s why I’m confident to run it down to...

Cool dude, I’m glad you can speak with absolute certainty. I’m Sure it’s whatever you said.

I would disagree. The ambient temperatures are already in the mid 90’s on the Florida turnpike in the summer. After a charging session, I can see the increased temperature on my gauge. And my efficiency is down until that battery cools off to its normal temperature.

My efficiency takes a bit of a hit after DC fast charging as well. Once I finish a session, I notice my battery is a bit warmer. I believe I’m losing efficiency because the truck is using more energy to cool the battery.

Ahhhh the free market….a place with less choices where the inferior product wins at a higher price.

It’s been about 4 1/2 weeks. I know the vampire drain on the lightning is low, but I don’t think it’s nonexistent either. That would be a half a percent a day.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread. Like most of you, I had just considered this all user error and dismissed it from my mind until this afternoon. With one pedal engaged, I was trying to cross a four lane divided highway from a stop sign. The car in the right lane approaching me slowed down to...

I have the truxedo pro x-15. It has served me well for the last 2 years. It is a low profile, keeps the water out, easy to operate, and you have full access to the bed and can see out the rear window when rolled up.

That came out great. It compliments the truck well.

This checks out

I’ve owned fords before, but only used. And it had been almost 20 years since I owned a ford when I bought my lightning. My previous truck was an ‘05 ram. When the ram became long in the tooth and just uncomfortable to daily drive I couldn’t pull the trigger on a new truck. I just couldn’t see...

I want to replace one of my wheels (I got some curb rash on one that’s bothering me). Would be willing to buy a set. Located in Miami.

I’ve had the flashing screen and alarm come on several times, but I can’t remember if I ever had the braking engage when moving forward. Now backing into a stall, that thing is crazy aggressive. God forbid if I come back with a little speed and there’s a bush back there.
