  1. 2023 F-150 Lightning: battery hit 419°F with zero warning, zero fault code, zero shutdown

    You don't have receipts. You have evidence of probable bad data, sensor misreads and whatever related failures are causing this bad data. And yes, it needs to be fixed. What you do not have is a truck where your battery cooling fluids have actually ever hit 420 degrees or a battery that has...
  2. 2023 F-150 Lightning: battery hit 419°F with zero warning, zero fault code, zero shutdown

    It's not just the thread title that's misleading. I had sympathy for the OP when reading the post, we're all owners and we all want Ford to do the right thing because it might be one of us next. The website, however, is off the charts misleading. It misrepresents that those temperatures actually...
  3. 2023 F-150 Lightning: battery hit 419°F with zero warning, zero fault code, zero shutdown

    But when those reported numbers can't possibly be right but you continue to treat them as though they were because it helps your case it moves things into grift territory IMO.
  4. 2023 F-150 Lightning: battery hit 419°F with zero warning, zero fault code, zero shutdown

    The only thing we can be sure of is that those reported temps were never hit. if they were they wouldn't be any truck left, never mind the battery. OP, I hope you get your truck fixed, but let's dispense with the notion that those temps actually happened. It demonstrably did not as you still...
  5. 1st half Cybertruck and Silverado EV sales

    According to this recent report, the point of which was to show that used EV prices are going up, it was noted that the Lightning was one of the fastest selling used EVs (median of 12. days on the lot for the 2023 models in the sample) and the outlier in terms of its high net transaction price...
  6. Ford Ranchero EV Pickup - News & Info

    It is a smart move. Apple Maps, IMO, is the current gold standard in navigation apps. It is easily the richest visually, after all the initial noise the routing is now absolutely rock solid, it has increasing utility with police and hazard warnings etc and it's already benefitted from the...

  8. Looking for Ford F-150/F-150 Lightning Owners to Test Our New Custom-Fit All-Weather Floor Mats (2015–2026)

    2022 Platinum Daily driver, grandsons and dog mobile, some off road camping etc We still have the OEM Platinum mats, and they take a lot of cleaning after family trips
  9. Need advice! Should I buy Ford extended "Premium" warranty or not ?

    I usually never buy extended warranties, on aggregate the house always wins. With the Lightning I did because of the risk something like the screen and/or ancillary infotainment hardware gives up the ghost. And also because the EV plans cost less in general and can be bought cheaper still...
  10. Battery SOH - bragging rights or bullshit?

    Maybe. And of course we're all just speculating. But that would make more sense if the SoH calculation were generally and easily available to owners via the in-vehicle UI, but it isn't. This isn't the GOM or remaining energy calculation, it's an otherwise hidden attribute that requires owners...
  11. Battery SOH - bragging rights or bullshit?

    Our charge curve has already been improved via an OTA update to allow higher charge rates for longer. I saw higher rates post update than I saw pre. Maybe Ford will push things out a little further as more data comes in.
  12. Battery SOH - bragging rights or bullshit?

    Why would the SoH number be bullshit? It isn't a number that's readily available to the driver, you can only access it via a scanner and your OBDII port.
  13. Ford CEO Jim Farley Agrees With Fox News Host That Canada 'Sold Their Soul'

    I can't see Farley lasting much longer.
