  1. Scratched Drivers side window covered by warranty?

    If it's caused by debris at all they likely won't cover it. But you won't really know until the door is opened up. Scratching the glass itself is very odd. Something very hard would have to get past the external wiper and get lodged inside the mechanism. You may make an argument that the...
  2. 2023 Lightning ER dead at dealer for 6 weeks...

    Not servicing a truck because you didn't buy it there is likely a violation of their franchise agreement with Ford. Especially for warranty repairs. Ford corporate would be very interested to hear about it. Some dealers will go the "extra mile" for customers who bought there. But they can't...
  3. New owner - question on charging % charging frequency.

    It's more like saying a Chevy V8 tested in a lab, or used in an airplane, suddenly has unknown reliability because it's now in a truck. You have some good guesses, but won't really know until you get real-world data. It's not uncommon for unforeseen problems to crop up. There are indeed...
  4. New owner - question on charging % charging frequency.

    I did my best to interpret that data with the information given, and it's really difficult to make any conclusion other than high temp and high delta SOC cycling degrades battery cells the most. There wasn't enough information to really know how bad the degradation really is, and certainly it's...
  5. New owner - question on charging % charging frequency.

    Ford says to charge to 90% for regular use, but you can go to 100% if you need the extra range. That's it. Don't overthink it. Charging frequency, stopping below 90%, keeping charge within a certain band, etc. has a miniscule affect on battery life and health, if any at all. The evidence...
  6. Redundant soft buttons for physical buttons/user override or configurable

    What I find most annoying is that they need separate buttons for seat heating and cooling. You tap the single button and it turns on heat no matter if it's 100 degrees outside. Turning the knob to adjust the seat temp is useless, they shouldn't have even bothered. There's plenty of room to...
  7. 360 camera view smaller than expected

    Somewhere on the forum a user posted the Ford CSP instructions that show the note to the tech that for '22 trucks they have to do a calibration step. And I believe they screenshotted and pointed out where the tech clicks on their computer to do it. Print those things and take it in.
  8. Rock vs windshield

    It's based on state insurance laws. In some states you can't get free glass coverage because they don't require insurance companies to offer it. There might be insurers that offer it anyway, but none of the policies I've ever had include free glass repair/replacement. OP: I'd go to a glass...
  9. Priority Update - BCM-24.5.1 - Frunk Operation (Walk Away Door Lock) EAP

    My eyesight is bad and I have the huge screen iPhone that doesn't fit in pockets very well. ? The truck can use GPS for charging locations, I don't see why they can't use it for location based WAL. But this is Ford, it'll take them a year to write those lines of code.
  10. Undocumented OTA Behavior on Update Thursday 5/1/2025

    I've noticed more MyView resets than normal lately. I'm hoping that means BC1.4 is downloading, but nothing on the software update screen indicates that it is. Maybe downloading doesn't cause it at all. I'm just guessing (and hoping). I did get the window update a few weeks ago.
  11. Lightning vs Rivian - new truck buyer…

    The deal killer for me with Rivian is the way they do door handles and locking. If you don't want the truck to unlock when you walk near it, or unlock when you walk away, you have to turn off proximity locking and use buttons on a keyfob. I like on the Lightning that I have take an affirmative...
  12. Ford Kills Development of FNV4 (fully-networked vehicle

    I live 30 minutes from the new Blue Oval City where T3 is planned to be produced. They are still continuing construction (although I believe scaled back) and hiring. Of course they could halt at any time, but I think they'll end up producing an EV there since it's a new purpose built plant to...
  13. Congress proposes shocking new fee on EVs

    Yeah my first thought was that there is no current mechanism for the feds to directly collect a fee for registered passenger vehicles. They'd have to partner with each state who would then forward the fee. That's a lot of administrative cost and complexity. My state (TN) added a EV fee, it...
  14. Ford Kills Development of FNV4 (fully-networked vehicle

    Last I heard T3 was coming out in 2027? Development of a car two years away would be near completion already. They wouldn't have planned on implementing FNV4 on the T3 when the program had thus far only produced a single prototype. My gut is that T3 wasn't planned on having a radically...
  15. Electrify America charging with EA membership

    Turn off plug and charge in FordPass. Eliminates the possibility of getting charged the non-member rate. Then activate using the EA app.
  16. Priority Update - BCM-24.5.1 - Frunk Operation (Walk Away Door Lock) EAP

    One of our vehicles has it - a 2015 Mazda (go figure). It is a nice feature but the added convenience over tapping the button on the exterior handle (or fob) is minor. It doesn't work 100% of the time, so I have to listen for the lock beep or watch for the lights to flash to make sure it...
  17. Priority Update - BCM-24.5.1 - Frunk Operation (Walk Away Door Lock) EAP

    Does this update give you the toggle to turn off WAL? I don't want WAL. I want my truck to stay unlocked in my garage.
  18. Walk away Lock

    This is my situation was well. I don't want WAL if there's isn't a way to toggle it off. I purposely haven't taken the truck to the dealer for any CSPs or updates so I don't inadvertently get WAL.
  19. Forward Sensing feature missing - window sticker error. Any luck getting Ford to install it?

    I suspect legally Ford wins this one. They didn't promise the feature anywhere else - the order guide, web site, advertisements, etc. It's a misprint on the window sticker. There's probably something in the law that shields them when it's a clear inadvertent error. It's also likely there is...
  20. New BlueCruise Version 1.4 - Rollout March 2025

    He said it was one-pedal when BC is active, I would think that we wouldn't be able to notice. You'd have to be the one operating the pedals to know when it's in one-pedal mode.
