  1. Ford software guys could take a lesson from Lucid.

    There are some similarities between Tesla and Ford's connectivity packages. We pay for the connectivity in our Model Y. I would never subscribe to the connectivity for my Ford vehicles... Both provide internet access to the vehicle via cellular service, that's mostly what you're paying for...
  2. Where to get the Battery coolant to top off reservoir?

    No leak, perfectly normal, which surprised me the first go around. Both our Model X and now our Model Y have done this. It will vent if given enough pressure. I have only had it happen twice on the X, once on the Y. Happened when supercharging and all three times the outside temp was rather...
  3. All terrain tire ride feel

    You're most likely feeling the IRS and overall soft ride quality of the Lightning more than just the tires. Mine also was delivered with the AT tires due to shortage and I can't tell a difference between it and the one I test drove with AS tires. These General Grabbers are not really what I...
  4. Stubby Antenna Help

    The "Just the Tip" edition...
  5. Any guesses on when XLT might become available again?

    Ford has confirmed the PRO is sold out for MY23. XLT will be available in limited quantities, but like @TaxmanHog is saying, you gotta be Lightning fast when the ordering opens. If you're considering the ER battery in any way, just go Lariat as the cost differential isn't much at that point...
  6. PRODUCTION DAY TO DELIVERY - how long?

    Production week of 11/7 assigned. In-production notice on 11/10, chip hold, ship notice on 12/12. Delivered to dealership 12/21 -- 32 days with Thanksgiving in there.
  7. Sunrun is delaying sending my charging station

    That probably was you as that seems to be what I already gathered from the other post, letter to sign and all that. I haven't seen anyone else reporting it, so makes me wonder. But it could just be a new thing they're doing to temper peoples expectations as a lot of people seem to be having...
  8. Sunrun is delaying sending my charging station

    Mine shipped yesterday and is arriving tomorrow. But I had already confirmed with SunRun over a week ago, before I saw anyone report it being back-ordered. Not sure that it truly is back-ordered, I've only seen one post with someone saying that...
  9. Max current setting switch

    The breaker will not reduce the charge rate as the charger has no clue what size the breaker is. In this case, if you sustain a charge at 80 AMPs through an 80 AMP breaker, it will work to some extent... But yes, can overheat, can cause strain on the breaker and the wiring as well if it's not...
  10. ✅ 12/05 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

    Be careful with the FordPass activation thing before It's always been that way... Have to confirm activation in the vehicle. Be careful with this though. I added my VIN to FordPass and of course the pop up appeared on the monitor in the truck while it was still en-route to the dealership...
  11. Granger Motors wants more money for extended warranty after payment.

    Looking at the warranty web site, I'm not seeing what the glitch is... I just played with it and configured the 8y/100k warranty I bought from Granger and got the price I paid when I bought my truck from them... What am I missing? The OP's numbers indicate he selected the 7 year with max...
  12. Which Floor Mats?

    I've only had my truck 11 days, but these Ford all-weather mats are good. Actually used the same in my Expedition and they held up great and worked well. If you're regularly in a lot of mud or slush, you might do better with a deeper Husky or Weathertech tray liner, but these are every bit as...
  13. Cannot trust my truck to stop charging at 90%

    Charging to 100% is a non-issue if done on an L2 charger and then you drive it. Going to 100% on DCFC is much more strenuous on the battery, but also why the truck throttles back the charge rate as necessary to keep from wearing on the battery. The biggest issue with 100% SOC is it bleeds off...
  14. How to purchase HIS now (1/2023)

    Don't know anything about the AEExpress web site you speak of. But SunRun is the sole supplier of the bi-direction inverter and disconnect unit that pairs with the Ford Charge Station Pro. The only way to get the HIS to work as intended is to purchase through SunRun. And yes, they're terrible...
  15. ✅ 12/05 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

    I'm hoping you guys are successful with the 0%. No such thing at year end when I took delivery... Oh well.
  16. ✅ 12/05 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

    It 100% DOES NOT come with the 511A package anymore. Must be added as a $225 option. Yes, I'm still a bit salty about it not being there, but wasn't a deal breaker when I picked up the truck. In some ways I like having the full floor with the all weather mat there. But could use the storage...
  17. Chip deletes - can features be added later?

    Did it ever list the steering wheel heat delete? The only deleted component happening when I placed my order was the scales and smart hitch and the jury was still out on how that would work. I had to re-confirm or acknowledge them being deleted in order to have Ford accept the order and get a...
  18. Cannot trust my truck to stop charging at 90%

    While I completely agree with your statement, it needs to be said that a hard limit set in the truck is a much easier feature to implement than this location based nonsense they're trying to do.
  19. Cannot trust my truck to stop charging at 90%

    The whole charge limit by location is fine in theory to set certain locations if you want. But there should be a way to directly set the hard limit within the truck. Or there should be user confirmation to go above 90%...
  20. Am I crazy - L1 at home is adequate?

    L1 charging sucks. That said, my Lightning has been plugged into 120V recently as I've been out of town. It's garaged so not that cold. It does seem to do some conditioning of the battery while plugged in but only minimal. I can't tell much, but I've been informed that the fan and such run...
