Then build an XLT for "easily" $10k less and show me. You are working on hypotheticals when I actually did what you are saying. I even gave you the numbers. It was not $10k difference. I get "we can agree to disagree" when two people are working on actual data but just disagree on the...

#1 is definitely not true. My Platinum MSRP is basically the same as a Platinum ICE, before you get into rebates. Once you get into rebates my Plat was cheaper than my 502a Lariat 2023 PowerBoost was. The Flash and a 303a XLT are pretty close together on price as well. The Lightning has...

Also shows the power of AWD as almost all of the competitors were struggling for traction. Probably not the best prepared surface either. Not to say the Lightning and MME wouldn't still win most of those runs, but it would have been a lot closer if they all had AWD or the starting line was...

I am surprised by all the sideways or angled charging pics. I've done SuperChargers in the MME and Lightning, I was always able to get close enough just pulling straight ahead, but offset (so taking up two spots generally as mentioned). You just have to get stupid close. If a site had...

The only thing I can think of is I remember some having issues with connecting if their home wifi only has one SSID for both 5Ghz and 2.4GHz because I believe the Sync systems only connect over 2.4 and not all home wifi systems handle the negotiation very cleanly in those situations, and the...

Another vote for ABRP, but caution that if you get it and the OBD adapter it may not work if you have a 2025 Lightning. I haven't dug into it much, but our OBDLink CX won't work in our 2025 Mach-e. I searched for why and it seems Ford is encrypting some of the modules and stuff like battery SoC...

That is interesting. A quick search it looks like Sentry Mode may consume 7-14% over a 24 hour period, but that info may not reflect the newest versions. So while at work probably worth 3-6% or so of battery. Can definitely see that alone closing the gap a good amount. Hopefully you're liking...

Yeah it's all speculation, but the driver behavior is so odd, it almost seems like a panic attack or something. I can see vehicle failure for steering, OR vehicle failure for stuck throttle, OR vehicle failure for braking. But this would have to be all three, at once, on a vehicle with...

I would check the truck for a code like this: May indicate the ambient temp is too high and the contact is getting higher than Ford would like. Even if another vehicle is charging at a higher rate, the manufacturer determines what temps they are comfortable with for these pins. That the truck...

I am mostly looking forward to this, as long as I can turn off the "Hey Google" stuff. The more I can ignore the underlying Android disaster the better. But it will at least bring along more onboard app compatibility and hopefully an improved onboard Nav experience, especially for EVs. While I...

Yeah, and it's basically just a large PHEV, not really "cool" in my book since PHEVs are just many of the maintenance and moving parts complexities of a regular ICE vehicles combined with the wiring/electronics of a BEV. Just doubling everything that could go wrong, and then the cherry on top is...

I am struggling to understand your post. Who is the "Ford" that assured you would be reimbursed for an Expedition, but also not responding to your requests to be reimbursed? If the dealer assured you, they don't speak for Ford. You would need the dealer to either reimburse you or you may be out...

I got one of the pigtails like you mentioned that I have used in a few power outages (but with our PowerBoost F-150s, not yet with the Lightning, same ProPower set up essentially though). I use one of these which is like the one you linked but has two 5-20Rs per leg...

That's really cool, thanks for sharing! I haven't had efficiency that high on our trips but the speeds on the highway averaged around 70. I did see about 2.7 on one "longer" (only about 15 miles) drive where it was super early in the morning and I averaged about 50 MPH and only hit one or two...

No, nobody here would have that information that wouldn't be in big trouble with Ford for sharing unreleased/unannounced product details.
