After I repaired the truck/FCSP BT connection, I was surprised that manually initiated backup power transfer worked straightaway for me during our outage yesterday. IIRC, it usually hasn't for me in the past.

Some evidence that the 10.3.0 Powertrain update revamped the truck-FCSP BT pairing scheme: the name of the paired FCSP is different now in my new pairing. The wording and design of the Intelligent Backup Power SYNC screen is different, too (although I may have capture the screen in different...

I would like to know if the higher charging rates lead to a faster decline in HVB SOH. Seems like Ford wouldn't have gone for it unless it had the mass data from all of us to know it's not going to make much of a difference.

I have a Meross garage door opener. I set it up as an Alexa skill with a pin code. I don't bother with Siri and the Apple Home system as it's all too cumbersome and too expensive. If the truck Alexa fails me for some reason, I just use the Meross app on my iPhone, which sits in a ProClip...

For any of you who are "Whole Home Backup"/Home Integration System owners, one thing to check after receiving the 10.3 Powertrain update is whether it messes up the Bluetooth pairing of your truck with your FCSP. I didn't check that. We had a power outage today, and initially, I couldn't get...

So, I deleted my vehicle from FordPass, deleted FordPass from my iPhone, shut down iPhone, rebooted, installed a fresh copy of FordPass, and set up PAAK again. Started charging my truck and ignored the update instructions to first set up my charging location, target charge limit, and preferred...

Another weird thing in FordPass post PowerTrain update. Not only will the truck charge at higher rate, but I can drive forever according to the guessometer! :D

No, I unplugged my charging cable before I allowed the update to run. My settings were cleared from both the truck and FordPass. Still no settings in FordPass this AM. Time to delete vehicle again, uninstall, reinstall FordPass, etc?

I just got the 10.3.0 Powertrain update when I turned on my truck this evening. It erased my charging location, target charge, and preferred charging times. I removed my vehicle from FordPass and then added it back again. I briefly charged and added those settings back through the truck SYNC...

Satya Nadella recently said at a Meta event that AI now does 30% of the coding at Microsoft, if that helps give you an idea of where things are going.

For a little perspective, Microsoft is now the world's richest company by market capitalization. Over $70 billion a quarter in revenue for 2025, about $26 billion in profit for the first quarter. Over 200,000 employees, but it just laid off over 3% of its workforce (~6,000 people) to devote...

Perhaps my problem with testing Force Mode on the Genius2 is that it's for reviving ~dead batteries with less than 2V across the terminals, and I'm trying to turn it on by connecting it to healthy batteries that are at 12.5 to 12.7V. Edit_Update: Yes, Claude by Anthropic (Sonnet 3.7) AI says...

Thanks for the suggestions. The manual override button for the Noco Genius Boost devices sounds a bit like Force Mode for the Noco Genius2, which is activated by holding down the Mode button for five seconds. I tried that. Not sure I entered Force Mode (or maybe that's no longer working...

The other day, I sleepily hooked up my NOCO Genius2 charger the wrong way round to the jump start points on my truck. I immediately got the reverse polarity warning on the charger display, unplugged the device, and hooked it up the right way round. Now it appears to be charging (AGM mode LED...

The San Antonio Express-News ran an article on the EV registration fee in Texas a while back. It's an additional fee of $200 per year for a Lightning ER. The Express-News said the average ICE F-150 owner in Texas pays $80 per year in gasoline taxes (forget how that's divvied up between state...

Now, if they can just retrofit our trucks with LMR batteries... The PR, though, is like one of those graphs with no numbers on any of the axes. No numbers for energy density, lower cost, or example driving range...

I got the BlueCruise update on 3/27 and wondered whether my truck was in line to get the window update. It finally showed up today, more than three weeks later.

I went shopping at Sam's Club today. As I was loading stuff into my frunk, a kindly elderly security guard in his small vehicle pulled up alongside my right front fender and called, "Are you OK?!" I realized he thought with my "hood" up, I was having an engine problem. I replied, "This is an...

There is a bug in iOS 18.4 that causes wireless connectivity issues and Apple has issued iOS 18.4.1 to address the problem: https://www.f150lightningforum.com/forum/threads/apple-issues-ios-18-4-1-update-to-fix-ios-18-4-carplay-connectivity-issues-in-part.26433/

I thought it was just my iPhone and my truck acting up, but I've had trouble getting my iPhone to connect wirelessly with CarPlay. It turns out it's a bug in iOS 18.4, and Apple has issued iOS 18.4.1 to address the problem along with other issues. Apple describes the connectivity problem as...
