I am also curious about maintaining the 12V. I was out of town for a week-long trip, with the truck off plug at 50% battery. I got home and drove it around the corner (less than 1/4 mile) to the store. Coming out of the store, I popped the frunk, and it failed to operate correctly. The truck...

Is it better to just leave the keys in the truck in this case, so that it doesn't sense you approaching and then walking away all day long? You can lock them in the truck with the keypad, or just leave it unlocked if supervised. I guess that doesn't work with PaaK.

I agree with others. I also have an emporia, but I set charge times on the truck, not the charger. That way it’s the trucks choice when to charge. I’m not sure if that matters for battery maintenance, though.

Thanks, everyone, for the responses. I will ask him to confirm the wire's gauge, but it's nice to have this option. For what its worth, we do an annual camping trip to some family land that is near this town. This was my first year camping with the truck, and everything went well. His house...

I was visiting relatives for Thanksgiving, and as always, they were curious about the electric truck. My uncle, a retired industrial construction foreman, has a shop with a 240V welder plug. He asked if I could charge there, so we checked it out. I didn’t plug in immediately because I wanted to...

Thanks for all the feedback. My 12V had issues in the past, but I do have a battery booster. The question was mostly about keeping the key in the truck. I want to avoid it doing the whole lights-on-at-startup thing every time I walk past or open someone opens the door, but some of that is...

The kids and I will be doing our annual thanksgiving camping trip, but the first time with the Lightning. We are tent camping out on private property, with no electrical source. What is considered best practice, so that we can avoid any issues with the 12V. We go in and out of the truck all...

Is it still considered best practice to periodically (2-4X per year) charge to 100%? Reading this information indicates its somewhat energy wasteful to charge to 100%, but at the same time we cannot set it to 98%. I only charge to 80% unless I am going on a long trip and know I need max...

Is there any confirmation that Ford has upgraded the problematic shifter? Mine has been making strange clicking sounds after I turn off the truck, and it often will not move forward into the space. But it's working in terms of drive and park. I am wondering if a replacement will just have the...

watching, as I agree this would be an excellent feature

I agree with others that you might need a larger sample size than a few hours. If your phone has used very little battery in total, then percentages are not all that relevant. For what it’s worth, over the last 10 days FP has used 1% of my battery. I don’t have PAAK. my suggestions is give...

Thought I would post my report. ’24 Flash (Dec purchase), about 7,000 miles. I just got the truck back from the dealer after having the recall done. Thankfully, no issue there, just replaced and re-torqued the bolts. Running errands the day after, and the yellow wrench randomly appears, with...

Not sure if the OP Spreadsheet continues to be updated, but it's helpful to see various results. Just completed my first extended tow, and this thread was helpful. Here is my result: Trailer - U-Haul 6x12 cargo trailer (double axle) Efficiency average - Bounced between 1.3 and 1.4 mi/kWh at...

I thought to check my truck for this too, but as I understand it woudln't be directly plugged into the OBD2 port, but instead wired into it somehow. I assume I need to trace wires from the OBD and see if they lead anywhere interesting...

This is sort of my point, and what I was hoping for. Why would they schedule me if they cannot even look at it for more than 3 days? Similarly, I completely understand that they may need to order parts. But just tell me what it's going to take, and perhaps let me pick the truck back up after an...
