Not recommended. You cannot recharge it so you are limited to driving the distance you currently have. Also, the lower the charge when the mechanic gets to it, the more difficult it is to rebalance the modules if one has to be changed. Just get it to a dealer who will quickly diagnose it and...

I wonder if Ford has redesigned the battery to improve reliability and reduce the need to replace failing battery modules? As my service technician told me, Ford has lost a ton of money replacing (Lightning) battery modules.

I picked up my Lightning this afternoon from Grappone Ford in Concord, NH, after having battery module #7 replaced. Those people are terrific. I had dropped it off with them on December 26. Most of the intervening time was spent waiting for Ford to ship the replacement for Module 7. The...

I don’t think all the modules are the same. Module 9 on an ER battery has fewer cells than the others. If each module is unique, carrying 9 modules in inventory could be very expensive. What has slowed everything down recently was the holiday shut down at Ford. Everyone left for the holidays...

There is an 8 station Tesla supercharger at the Wells Corner Shopping Center in Wells, ME that I have used successfully. I found it using Plugshare. I-93 through the middle of NH and into VT is pretty well populated with Tesla supercharger stations every 20-30 miles

I have been waiting two weeks for Ford to ship a replacement battery module #7 to my dealer to replace the one with a bad cell. Late today I learned that they will be shipping it at the end of the week. It’s being shipped by truck and the arrival date at the dealership is still unclear. Once...

According to one Ford service technician I know, when the technician is reprogramming some parts of a Lightning, they need to connect to a Ford server to do so. Additionally according to the technician, when the Ford servers come back on line after a holiday break, they are notoriously buggy...

Christmas Eve as we were returning home I got the dreaded yellow wrench and the message “Service Vehicle Soon”. Fortunately my dealer, Grappone Ford in Concord, NH, has the best service department I have ever seen. I sent an email to my service rep and service technician yesterday afternoon...

Here is the article: Tesla adds longer cables and more to Superchargers as non-Tesla EVs complicate things by Fred Lambert Nov. 27,2024 Tesla has made several changes to its Supercharger network, including adding longer cables, to make the experience smoother as more non-Tesla EVs join the...

If accurate, this article claims Tesla is upgrading its super charger network with longer charging cables to accommodate non-Tesla EVs. That would be good news. https://apple.news/ALvNVAvtOTGSAZ5LVwajySwn

I keep a spreadsheet for my Lariat ER tracking the date of charge, miles driven since last charge and kWh added. My calculated mi/kWh at different ambient temperatures is pretty close to the values in your matrix.

When it rains it pours. I received the replacement adapter from Ford and a replacement from A2Z the same day. 😊

Ford just notified me my replacement adapter has shipped. 😊

I just received an email from A2Z letting me know that the A2Z adapter I purchased last May is being recalled. 😟 Anybody else? Updated with email and video explanation: Why We're Offering This Exchange We received feedback from Tesla suggesting alleged concerns regarding the locking...

Quoting CSP23B57: “Less than 4% of the affected vehicle population is expected to require one or more high voltage battery modules needing to be replaced.” The key words to my way of thinking are “or more”. Replacing one module with a cell gone bad is not a guarantee that you will not have...

Here is the date code on my recalled adapter, which I actually received in early June.

I received the same email from Ford this morning. My adapter reservation number was about #1200 and I received it in June. So can I continue to use my Ford supplied adapter until the replacement arrives, of should I discontinue its use?

It sounds like Bluecruise 1.4 is at least partially hardware enabled. I wonder if there will be hardware update kits so older Lightnings can take advantage of the new Bluecruise version?

I found mine on Edmunds.
