So Jim Farley stated you would never see an ad for an EV during the Super Bowl. I know the Cowboy's pre-season game tonight is far from the Super Bowl but I did see this during the broadcast ;):
The fine print indicates the $1750 is for XLT 4x2 and Lightning 4x2. Of course there is no...
There is a Diagnostics Menu you can activate that shows all sorts of info on several of your modules including screen tests, cellular/WiFi connectivity, etc. This has been mentioned a couple of times here - one person used it to compare AM/FM signal reception of stubby vs. whip. I think it could...
Has anyone purchased any blind spot mirrors that they would recommend? I have had them on my other trucks and very useful. I find the BLIS system doesn't do well when merging onto a freeway and have had several close calls. Here is one that gets several recommendations on the Gen14 forum...
For my birthday, my son created this LEGO model of my Lightning Lariat with low-profile Revolver X4S tonneau. Scale is slighter bigger than min-fig size but Homer looks at home.
A little earlier than Ford thought, but Tim with Long McArthur Ford (@FordVideoGuy) announced yesterday that everyone left on his reservation list (97 I believe) got their invite Thursday.
So as we discussed, not getting a Pro for 40K and limited XLT has pushed a ton of folks out of the...
Tim just read a Ford memo on his livestream that Ford will open XLT ordering for wave 8 that should launch any day now. He said the memo said March 2nd but of course that didn't happen. Will likely go fast.
EDIT: Order banks finally opened on March 30. They will close again on Apr 24th.
Old Title: Could be worse - bed camera deleted from ICE trucks
EDIT: Tim just announced on his Friday member livestream that a new Ford memo came out and this delete now applies to Lightning.
Original post:
I posted this over in the ICE forum and they are understandably upset. Tim B. read a...
The Lightning does not have the walk-away lock like the Mach-E. Hopefully it will be enabled in a future Sync update. In the meantime this is how I do it. NOTE: this is not for the faint of heart or home automation newbie. Also this only works on the iPhone. Sorry Android folks.
It requires...
Just got my first Early Access Program task. It's a survey on "Software Update Icons And Notifications". Was really hoping for something more meaty but this is certainly an area that is ignored by me with the useless icon on the top right of the screen. Lots of questions on how I would like to...
A really bright guy over on the Mach-E forum has figured out how to add a button (or repurpose the Park Assist button) to enable the cameras. This would be handy when parking since the camera view only comes up after you trigger a sensor. Of course you can also bring them up by pressing a few...
Tim just reported a Ford memo that wave 5 went out today and according to Ford - only to those that answered the survey in early September that indicated they wanted a Lariat 511A (i.e., ER battery). Not all who answered the survey with 511A will get the email though. Also wave 4 and wave 5 will...
Ford had their Q3 earnings call this week. You can read the entire transcript from Farley here:
Two points I picked up:
1) they are adding a a shift for Mach-E and Lightning "as we speak".
2) he expects certain Mach-E and Lightnings to meet the $3750 critical materials part of the tax rebate...
There are times when I want to get in the vehicle and just look at something on the center screen (truck settings, set radio stations, etc.) and not have the A/C come on (and maybe other systems) like you get in Accessory mode. Here's the trick: just press the On button on the radio (center of...
I bought a Lightning Lariat ER 10/13/22 - it was just delivered to dealer and the original customer declined to take it. I asked about the FCSP and they were clueless - they have only sold a handful of Lightnings. Will their order processing notify Sunrun? I just want to make sure it's not being...
Tim Bartz just read a Ford memo during his livestream that said wave 3 invitees who do not order will not be cancelled on Sep 30 but left open. There is a possibility they will reopen XLT or Pro for those who did not order.
EDIT: I went back and transcribed what he read from the Ford memo he...
Saw this mentioned elsewhere but Ford has posted "F-150 Lightning™ Reservation Closure and Order Wave Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)" here: https://www.ford.com/support/how-tos/owner-resources/f-150-lightning/f-150-lightning-reservation-closure-and-order-information/. Some interesting...
With MY23 ordering beginning today, I thought I would post the Order FAQ's you get on the order screen. Most will blow right by it in a rush to order so here it is. What is interesting is it explains how the dealer can still add an ADM even though it might not show up in your order summary...
Just got an email from Ford inviting me to a F-150 Lightning Drive Experience. Unfortunately, its in San Antonio and I'm in Dallas. I did do the one last year in Dallas and well worth it.
