  1. Edmunds comparison review: Silverado RST vs F-150 Lightning Lariat

    The interior between the Denali and the RST is really night and day for what it’s worth. I drove an RST earlier on and although I really wanted the range bump, I could not work with that interior. I’m not a huge midgate or sunroof person but that’s what it takes to get the bigger range…which is...
  2. Edmunds comparison review: Silverado RST vs F-150 Lightning Lariat

    So far about half of my miles have been ok trips of about 300 miles each. I do not drive slowly and primarily don’t adjust my driving speed to maximize my EV distance. I am typically on the faster side of traffic but not outrageously slow. That is where the GM towns really do pull away from the...
  3. Edmunds comparison review: Silverado RST vs F-150 Lightning Lariat

    As an owner of both, I can tell you the storage on the Lightning is far superior. I spent about 45K miles with the Lightning and now my wife drives it while I moved to a Sierra Denali (4K miles so far). The frunk is much bigger in the ford and includes the small under tray area which is great...
  4. Help: Can't Decide - Tire Replacements

    Just put the Michelin Defenders on mine at about 46K miles. No major off-roading planned and looking for quiet and smooth miles ahead. I have the Toyos (non-EV version) on my 3500 Ram and they have been a great tire, but are showing some concerns with quite a bit of tread left recently. Not...
  5. Are my ventilated/cooled seats working correctly?

    Based on the 2+ years with my truck, I would say your experience is pretty much online. My seats make a lot of noise and don’t really do much cooling. I usually describe it as keeping the seat neutral in temp. My Ram will actively cool the seat and your backside while you feel much more...
  6. Charging in the Delmarva (DE, MD & VA) Peninsula

    Do not rely on the OC “fast” chargers or otherwise. In 2 years of driving down there, I’ve never been able to successfully charge there - most due to the machines being down. To be perfectly honest, without an adapter, it is very difficult. The new EA at the outlets are up and running and the...
  7. PSA: Keep your Tesla NACS adapter cool

    I have been traveling the last several weeks on the east coast (as far north as NY and south as NC - 2K miles or so in total) with the A2Z. Temps have (unfortunately) been in the 90s and many travel days have been 95 or better though no day has officially topped 100. I have had many charging...
  8. FordPass app closing in background IOS

    I’ve been using PAAK exclusively since it first rolled out to my early 2022. Has been almost flawless and I’ve never had to utilize the passcode. At most it would be a restart if the app and then I’m on my way. However, since the new app released it has been a common occurrence for it to shut...
  9. Newly Designed: FordPass 5.0 App®: What to Know

    For those saying they do not have the heated steering wheel feature showing, it is there…just hidden. Once you press the fan symbol and the climate control comes on, you will be able to see the wheel and seat functions.
  10. How far have we gone? Your Lightning mileage?

    June 21, 2022 delivery. Just over 21K miles. On initial delivery I had a charging issue - wouldn’t charge anywhere other than my house. Easily addressed via update but was a problem becomes I didn’t find that out until our first trip very close to initial delivery and where I was at for the...
  11. First long trip Lehigh Valley PA to Ocean City MD

    There is a Walmart just outside OC with plenty of parking. It would be an ideal location for one of Walmart’s new chargers or EA. The other option would be one of the several Tesla stations at Royal Farms or Wawa right outside the city to have the CCS capable chargers. You could then reasonably...
  12. First long trip Lehigh Valley PA to Ocean City MD

    Ocean City essentially has nothing fast or reliable. There are a couple of city owned 50kw chargers but they have massive connection problems and kick you out constantly or are not on in general. There are plenty of slow chargers if you can just leave your truck parked for a day. Look for some...
  13. Active Air Dam System Fault

    12.5k miles in and I continue to get the fault at random times. I do not believe it is related to sudden acceleration from one pedal drive deceleration because most of my events happen when accelerating at moderate speed for a highway on ramp. I will say it is random though as it happens some...
  14. Tesla Supercharger Membership Launched @ $12.99 / month. First video of Lightning charging at Supercharger CCS Magic Dock

    Having additional options is usually not a bad thing. I rarely charge away from my home, but part of that reason is because the place we often travel for road trips is a dead zone. If Tesla opened up even just a couple of chargers in the Ocean City, MD area, it would make a world of difference.
  15. Active Air Dam System Fault

    Had mine in for service (just over 11k miles) and had them look at this for me. I get the message quite a lot - so much so that my daughter heard the chime and says “air thingy fault” - but it isn’t every time I drive the truck. Unfortunately, the dealer said they didn’t see any codes and marked...
  16. Cybertruck gets new removable side mirrors design -- spotted today

    Part of the design issue is those rounded wheels and tires. Needs a triangle or at least square wheel and tire option to match those triangle removable mirrors. Ha.
  17. You meet the nicest people at charging stations

    Like many on here, I have had a wide variety of experiences. On our first road trip in early August the Lightning was so new virtually no one had seen one. So tons of questions, lots of comparisons to everything else that was charging and a generally friendly environment. Granted, we also had...
  18. May build still without PAAK

    May build as well and didn’t get it until recently. I have had good luck with it operating as advertised since getting it setup.
  19. Anyone experience major malfunctions with their Lightning?

    Same here. Six months in, around 9K miles and it has been rock solid. One charging update just after delivery and nothing since. I have several other vehicles to drive and the Lightning is by far the favorite.
  20. Outside Frunk Button not working

    Experienced the same thing the last week or so. The button has worked every time since I took delivery and this week on a couple of occasions it refused to open. The in cab button worked. After coming back to the truck later and unlocking via the door pad the button worked again. This has been...
