While I do not yet have my heated steering wheel installed in my Lightning, this behavior sounds exactly the same as it is in my Mustang Mach-E. I am actually good with it like this. It does warm up and get quite hot at first, but then I find that it eventually stays hot longer than I like to...

Along the lines of the OP's question, my Lightning was in an accident last week and is in the body shop until likely December 11th, so it would be a period of about 4.5-5 weeks without it actually being driven or charged. Should I be asking the body shop to do anything in particular to ensure...

Well, it seems the vehicle is repairable. The estimate is coming in at just under $20,000. Now, since my insurance company does not deal with Diminished Value claims and this would be on the at-fault driver, does anyone know how I go about chasing down Diminished Value from the other driver's...

Right. I don't think I was complaining. That is why I responded to that comment with the below a few days ago...

I just love seeing DC Fast Charging lighting up in that part of WI! Now, if only they could get some more going along I-43 between MKE and Door County. I did see that a Cadillac dealer in Sheboygan now has a 50kw DC "Fast" charger, which should suffice in a pinch. Sorry to derail your thread...

Not sure yet if the battery pack was damaged at all. The body shop just got the vehicle this afternoon and is starting to take a look. I heard them mention to the receptionist that they're assuming it'll be a total loss, but won't know more until probably tomorrow.

Thanks. They were in a Toyota 4-door sedan of some sort...

I will let you know if I might be able to work that out if it is totaled. Funny thing is, the dealer had just given me a free set of letters because they needed to replace a letter 'I' that had fallen off under warranty.

Having just been in a big accident with my Lightning last week, I most definitely sympathize with you. I am sorry that you are stuck dealing with this.

I hadn't heard that, but not surprised. But, yeah, I bought a Tesla Tap early on with my Mach-E a few years ago and am happy to buy a NACS adapter.

As long as Ford sends the NACS adapters to all of us owners, I'm not concerned about holding off for that. I do wish that I could hold off for the 2024 for the heat pump to eek out a bit more range in the cold Chicago and Wisconsin winters, but, if it is totaled, I will be replacing with another...

Good call outs! Thank you!

I went with the Mishimoto, since the Swarfworks was out of stock at the time I was purchasing.

Having never been in an accident before, I guess I was maybe thinking it was worse than it is. I think my thinking that it might be totaled was because I was thinking there may be damage to the battery pack. Maybe it is salvageable though and can be repaired. I would almost rather it be totaled...

I was going about 45-50 MPH.

Now, that I have had a little bit of sleep after that, I am left wondering why at least the steering wheel airbag would not have deployed. Thankfully, my son and I really were physically unharmed in this accident, but it seems like I should have expected that the airbag would have deployed in...

My first actual accident ever in 27 years of driving happened tonight. Thankfully, my son was fine in the backseat. A woman who had just been in a fight with her boyfriend blew a stop sign and sped out in front of us. Thank goodness there were witnesses and we are totally in the clear and...

I have had a similar experience to that of the OP with Ford dealers in/around Chicago. The dealer that I work with for all of my service gave me the run around for about 5 weeks after I had taken my truck in for the 10,000 mile service and to have the recalls all looked at. I called week after...

Well, I managed to get the truck home to Chicago from our cottage in Wisconsin without any troubles yesterday and it is sitting at the dealer now having that issue looked into and having 4 out of the current 5 recalls dealt with and also having the couple other warranty issues I have dealt with...

I have plugged back into my Grizzl-e at our cottage and it is accepting a charge again now. Topping up to 100% before heading out of town for sure. Fingers crossed I'm all good for the trip home. I just scheduled a service appointment for tomorrow morning.
