  1. What's Everyone's Best Offer From SiriusXM?

    Just call them and tell them you want to cancel as recent price increases on things like groceries mean cutting back on luxury. Tell them you can only afford $5/mo for each of them. They'll cut you a deal for that price for a year. I can practically guarantee it.
  2. 3323 mile round trip Northern AZ to LA to Vancouver, WA -- Fantastic vehicle.

    I should have said "Not your best choice financially" because yeah, I love the lighting over my previous F150 when it comes to road trips because it forces me to relax a bit more and not push for "making good time" and instead we have a good time.
  3. 3323 mile round trip Northern AZ to LA to Vancouver, WA -- Fantastic vehicle.

    EVs are not ideal road trippers, they are ideal commuters. If you drive several hundred miles each time you get behind the wheel, you should know that an EV is not your best choice. So yes "while road tripping" the value of an EV is slightly negated. But road trips are usually the exception, and...
  4. Thought on our frigid 1,300 mile trip

    Not crazy when you think about it. Tesla built their Supercharger network as a way of saying "see, you can take road trips in our cars". They knew a bad reputation would have squashed the concept and thus their car sales. So they put a lot of focus on ensuring the stations work. They also...
  5. Finally pulled the trigger

    There’s a 2 pack from A2Z that includes both the supercharger adapter and the L1/L2 adaptor, if you search this forum you can find a discount code for 10 or 20%off. A2Z has just about the best customer service ever, so they’re worth it IMO compared to others like Lectron. Just stay away from any...
  6. Finally pulled the trigger

    Rubber or TPU floor mats, to keep the underlying carpet pristine. Set covers if you have kids or dogs to keep the underlying seats pristine. Even if you have a bed liner, I recommend a bed mat, keeps things from sliding around. There are some bungee nets you can get on Amazon for the frunk...
  7. Ford dealer has not set up my free home charge coupon.

    Don’t make idle threats. They did what any business would do when lawyers start to get involved, cut contact and have all contact go through the lawyers. You escalated, now follow through. In the meantime, make sure to rate them on Yelp and Google Maps and any other tools and share your honest...
  8. Have you noticed... (lesser known features of our trucks)

    Not available to us with the regular screen. We miss out on a few things in the entertainment department. There’s a “magic box” device you can get that will allow you to do all the streaming and stuff, but IMO, spend the money on an iPad or something. Hotspot that in the car and you have...
  9. I love this truck but GD!

    Dealers install this shit without telling you to make it easier to repo. I’m sure they have it in their paperwork, but no one reads all that. good luck selling. The 23 XLT ER is the best option in my opinion. Hopefully someone in a warmer climate appreciates the deal.
  10. My phone as a key stopped working

    They withheld that feature to the Lariat and Plat. I haven’t heard of people even being able to hack it in. Even without PAAK you can use the app to lock and unlock. If you pull the battery out of a key fob you can still use it in the cup holder slot. So hide a battery less fob in the truck and...
  11. 🙋‍♂️ What Did You Do To Your Lightning Today?

    Added the frunk nets since those were deleted with the redesigned escape button. Also got around to putting in the bed mat I won from Lasfit in their Halloween contest. Last pic is a few days later as it warmed up and relaxed into a better fit.
  12. Battery won’t charge beyond 72%

    Yes, back to the dealer. In a personal electronic device this means one of your battery cells is likely dead. In a more complex battery pack like this, it could mean a dead module, or just a bad BMS that’s not getting the right data from modules. Nothing you’re going to be able to do to solve...
  13. Carplay navigation - remove all charging stops?

    Subscribing. I wasn’t paying attention last night and ended up pretty far from home and a battery that Apple Maps didn’t think I could make it home with. I knew I most likely could and was willing to risk it, but I really wanted to keep an eye on it since the last chance DCFC on my route home...
  14. Gap between driver door and seal on 2024 Flash

    Ok, so feel free to research this on your own, and please don’t just trust some rando on the message board, especially because this will sound like bullshit… but… The way to fix this if the bottom of the door is fine but the top sticks out is to open the door, open the window, brace the middle...
  15. What Level 2 charger do you recommend

    Check with your power company. They often offer subsidized chargers. I got mine for about half MSRP. See what choices if any they offer, let us know and we’ll help pick between them. Further, avoid EnelX/Juicebox chargers. The company went bankrupt. While the chargers are fine as dumb chargers...
  16. Cracked passenger mirror trim

    Taxman linked to my thread. As you can see I also pulled a major boneheaded maneuver. Post a pic of what’s broken. I can likely give you good instructions to get to it, and may even have a replacement part I can send you for the cost of shipping. If you are near PHX I might even be able to drop...
  17. 2024 Lariat - Heat Not Working Well

    There isn’t really such thing as “remote start” for the lightning. At least it doesn’t act like how I would expect a remote start to if it were just copying its ICE siblings. You can remotely start the climate control but after you get in, you then still have to “start” the truck, screens and...
  18. Fold those mirrors in at the auto wash folks. Some interesting things I’ve learned:

    Raptor mirror came in today. Fit right up and everything worked so I changed the cap and it’s looking good. The unpainted parts are a little more aged than what I took off, but I’m sure that will even out in time with the sun of the Sonoran desert.
  19. 2024 Lariat - Heat Not Working Well

    "Full accessory" for some reason does not include climate. Living in the land of hot this annoys my wife the most since it’s super awkward for her to try to actually start the truck from the passenger seat so it’s hard for her to get AC in the summer.
  20. Anyone have a HIS installed in the San Francisco bay area?

    The HIS is a home battery backup you can charge from the Lightning using the Charge Station Pro. It's a whole lot of proprietary components that in the end, don't seem to work that well. Even the people that report a working system still report a bunch of issues such as having to manually turn...
