  1. DATA THREAD: Post your tow and efficiency!

    No matter how many times I see this, it still blows me away that our 4500lb 19' travel trailer (full height, 8' wide like that one is), there is effectively zero difference between the efficiency towing. 3,000 extra pounds, and 17 extra feet of trailer, basically no difference. The frontal...
  2. What “MPG” are you getting?

    Canadian here, west coast of British Columbia. Not "Canadian"- level of cold winters, but winter nevertheless. Have tracked my economy overall since purchase, and for the 6 month periods April - Sept, and Oct - Mar, representing road trips summer and winter, towing, etc. Average Summer...
  3. Seat Belt warnings - even when all occupied seats have them done up?

    No, I haven't found a fix yet... And it seems to be happening to me a little bit more frequently now. In about the last 2 or 3 months it seems to happen roughly once every two weeks now, pretty annoying. It stops bonging and is fine after maybe 30 seconds or so but still pretty annoying
  4. Distance to destination on dash = 0kms

    Hey all Have been noticing this lately in my truck, wondering if others have as well. When you set a destination via android auto, on the main screen it is still accurately showing the distance to arrival, time to arrival, and % SOC at arrival....but on the dash, it shows a 0.00 km distance to...
  5. Instrument cluster doesn't turn on? Help

    Yea it's not happened to me even a single time since that one time in Feb when I posted this... Hopefully it'll be the same for you too!
  6. SUBLIME experience - 2025 LIGHTNING after 2 months...

    Welcome to the club! Have owned a Dodge Dakota, an F150, two Ram 3500s, and extensively driven a Toyota Tacoma....and this thing blows them all out of the water. Butts in seats changes minds, and real experiences and conversations from real users, that is what @Ford Motor Company should be...
  7. HVAC - recirculate air button doesn't stay on

    Hey all I have a 2024 Lightning Flash, and I have noticed for a while now that the recirculation button doesn't stay on for very long. Wondering if anyone else has seen this or has a resolution. When I click into the climate screen, and then toggle the recirculation button, I hear the...
  8. Efficiency after 16,000 kms

    Oh man, speaking my language here: data, charts, links. Amazing. Will be clicking around on that later today, thanks!
  9. Efficiency after 16,000 kms

    Thanks for the response SpaceEVDriver - I run my tires at 40-42psi I think, could maybe bump them up a bit more and see how that goes. - I set the cruise control to around 112-115kmh typically, so I am a bit above the speed limit on this particular freeway but not into "get pulled over"...
  10. Efficiency after 16,000 kms

    Hi all, will make this brief. Watched @tommolog 's great video about his 3 year review, and in it he has his 70mph (112kmh) range test in his 2022 lightning ER doing 286 miles (458kms). Doing some math, that would mean his efficiency in kwh/100kms would fall around 28.6kwh/100kms. On my...
  11. How to Charge when Towing

    Yea the street view/google maps helped, and then in Google when you click the icon for Tesla Supercharger, or whatever brand of charger it is, often people have posted pics of the site...those are typically the most up to date (i.e. for new locations that aren't yet showing up in satellite or...
  12. How to Charge when Towing

    Some really good suggestions already. I have a 19' class travel trailer, and just did a2,000km round trip 2.5 week camping trip here in BC. Most DCFC sessions, I was able to not have to unhook. I would add the following, in addition to trying to check apps like ABRP ahead of time:. I have...

  14. Trailer brake control

    Came here searching out for the integrated brake controller on my 2024 flash, as I also couldn't seem to figure out where to control it from, and I think I am in the same boat here with the coin slot instead. That said, I wanted to share a good option we used to tow with our other EV, which is...
  15. 2025 Flash = 123kw battery, 2024 Flash = 131kw battery, same range?

    Minor one here, not sure if its been discussed. But, the 2025 flash trim is showing as a 123kw usable battery and up to 515kms range (~320-322 miles), and the 2024 I bought has a 131kwh usable battery and the same posted range. Did they actually get 9.4% more efficient and I am missing...
