I'd love to see an update for my 2022 that would allowed to use my pro power without starting my truck & disabling the 30 minute shutdown.

Sorry to hear that. I had my 3 yr/ 36k extended to the 8yr/ 100k. I figured it would cover most major issues.

I just noticed that. I had only looked at the flash and just assumed they reduced the platinum too. Thanks. I wonder if they changed the platinum to the newer battery technology?

My 2022 with 131 usable kwh is actually roughly a 145 kwh battery. They also reduced the HP maybe retain the same mileage with the lower usable kwh.

I agree Ford needs to get busy talking about the lightning. I'm assuming they did something wi That's not covered under bumper to bumper warranty?

I'm perfectly satisfied with my 2022 platinum except for the failing battery modules. I wonder why ford reduced the usable kwh on their new lightnings ER battery from 131 kwh to 123 kwh. That upsets me for a future trade in. I want more range no less.

I just has 3 of my battery modules fail and replaced in my 2022 platinum. I expect the other 6 modules to follow suit. I'm hoping they will fail within the next 4-5 yrs prior to my warranty running out. I looked at the 2025 as a possibility trade figuring they must have fixed their modules...

I was looking at 2025 to take in my 2022 but after I found out they reduced the usable kwh from 131 to 123 kwh I decided against it. While other manufacturers are trying to increase their range Ford has reduced the usable kwh of their battery packs. I didn't bother to look at a standard battery...

It seems like ford is heading the other way. I have a 2022 platinum that has 131 kwh usable kwh. The knew 2025 platinum only have 123 kwh usable kwh. Even the HP has been reduced. I believe the font lb torque is the same. Anyone with a 2025 comments would be appreciated. Did they actually...

I used my own option and power my solar inverter with my lightning which charges my solar batteries while powering my home.

Yes in the winter you definitely need it plugged in prior to departure and precondition the battery and preheat the cabin while on the charger. At departure I lower my cabin temp and turn on my seat heter and steering wheel.

It's actually no difference from the mpg ratings they put on ice vehicles. We can never seem to get the rated mpg. I've found my lightning to be complte opposite of all ICE trucks that I've owned, achieving my best mpk while driving in town and the worst mpk on the highway. Which is great for...

It cost me $3200 but I extended my B to B to 8 yrs/ 100,000 miles

I'm 75, I was hoping this would be my last vehicle. Now it looks like that won't be the case. I only have 5 yrs left on my warranty. Mileage isn't a problem because in the past 3 yrs I've only driven a little over 23k miles.

I run my home from solar. The grid is how I charge my solar batteries if my solar batteries get low because of cloudy days and in that instance If the grid is down I use a 60 amp manual reliance transfer switch that let's my truck charge my solar batteries. Since my solar battery charger sees my...

I believe I'll trade in just prior to my 8 year warranty. There's obviously a quality control problem with these modular failures. When assembling battery modules the cells must match as closely as possible else excessive cell degregation will occur. It's possible that's what is happening...

My friend with 3 leafs. I believe 2 are 30 kw and 1 - 24 kw is planning on dropping batteries in the future and replacing some of his modules. It sounds like quite a project to me but he's a mechanic and feels it won't be that bad a job.

I do believe this was a QC issue on module assembly, but I also believe pushing 150 kw into the battery during DC charging versus charging with 7.2 kwh or even with the 19.2 kwh ford charge would also have different effects on these unbalanced cells. That wouldn't have been an issue had the...

I realize it would be expensive to replace all 9 modules at once but I believe it would be cheaper for ford to do that than paying dealers the extra costs of dropping the battery, disassembling and replacing individual modules when they know the chance of the remaining modules will also fail...
