  1. Not the Super Bowl, but...

    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...
  2. Bezel Diagnostics Menu (undocumented in owners manual)

    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...
  3. Cybertruck wrapped like a Lightning

    Looks pretty good to me. https://www.cybertruckownersclub.com/forum/threads/f-150-wrapped-cybertruck-spotted-driving-showing-hitch.8865/
  4. Blind spot mirror recommendations

    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...
  5. Small scale LEGO model my son built

    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.
  6. Everyone has now gotten an invite (3-30-23)

    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...
  7. XLT orders will open again soon (MY2023 Wave 8)

    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.
  8. It's worse - bed camera deleted now

    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...
  9. 2023MY Lightning Order Invite Wave 7 open

    Looks like wave 7 opened today, will end Feb 9th. No XLT this round. Prices look the same:
  10. Walk-away Lock: iPhone work around for the Lightning

    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...
  11. Early Access Program: Software Update Icons And Notifications survey

    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...
  12. Adding a Direct Camera Switch For Lariat/Platinum Lightning

    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...
  13. MY23 Wave 5 - Lariat ER survey respondents only

    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...
  14. Q32022 Earnings call - adding shifts, '23 tax rebate $3750

    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...
  15. Accessory Only Mode - No A/C

    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...
  16. Sunrun & Charge Station Pro on dealer stock purchase - how does it work?

    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...
  17. Wave 3 invites who don't order won't be cancelled; possible Pro / XLT ordering reopening

    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...
  18. 2023 Lightning production targeted at 80,000 plus other tidbits

    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...
  19. 2023 Lightning Order FAQ (From Ordering Screen)

    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...
  20. Invited to F-150 Lightning Drive Experience in San Antonio

    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.
