  1. Best practices for extending the LIFE of the battery?

    I tend not to worry about it other than blatantly charging to 100 for no reason. Heck if a 3 year old iPhone I didn’t treat well had 89% capacity with close to 1000 cycles , the truck with its cooling and BMS will probably never have an issue in my years of ownership.
  2. 36K mile update.

    My favorite color Azure Grey… glad it’s been a great truck to you, did my first road trip this past fall with mine and it was great and handled well, no issues since purchase in February of this year, October 2023 Build XLT ER Azure Grey
  3. Ford.com Multi‑Factor Authentication

    Have it “remember” that specific device and you won’t need MFA on it again.
  4. Ford.com Multi‑Factor Authentication

    Interesting.. I’ve had MFA on for months using an auth app and not sms..
  5. Study: Less than 1% of EV owners would go back to gas-powered vehicles

    I don’t think I’d go back to a Gas vehicle as a daily driver … the lightning has probably spoiled me power wise though lol. I just love the instant acceleration.. no delay.
  6. Heated steering wheel and wheel tilt broken, 6 days with dealer and no fix in sight

    One would think these are the exact same as the standard f150… shouldn’t be rocket science… maybe a different dealership going forward is the answer.
  7. A2Z and Tesla SC, Road tripping on easy

    Just did a 2k round trip… Tesla charging is a game changer .. EA sucks .. I tried to use some of my “free” charging but usually EA is just jam packed or out of order.
  8. Prompt Volume Adjustments do not hold

    I thought it was CarPlay itself doing that .. same here on 6.8.0
  9. Lightnings powering homes after Hurricane Helene -- "North Carolina's Coming Run on Electric Cars" (The Atlantic Article)

    People don’t realize how much 130kwh is… a fridge and necessities can run for weeks
  10. Are extended warranties generally worth it?

    Given what other components (infotainment etc) cost … I’d say it’s a shot in the dark but I did an 8yr/100k to match the battery. I witnessed the cost for just a bad radio on my father’s ford edge($2200) . I figure there’s enough things to go wrong that in 8 yrs I’ll get my money back either way.
  11. Black screen SYNC 4A: Post-25-fixed

    For what it’s worth , My father’s edge did the same thing, ended up needing a few modules replaced.. around 2k without warranty…the key with his is the cluster just said audio off and it would never turn on, if everything else works it’s probably just the screen or a loose connection.
  12. Is Anybody Happy With Their Lightning?

    Happy with my purchase… it was that or a 5.0 F150, I drove the lightning and got my use , worked perfectly. I have had zero issues with mine.
  13. Dash Rattle

    Could also add a little felt tape to the contact points .. pretty common on the f150’s in general
  14. Ford's going to lose me with not showing me state of charge %

    No worries it’s frustrating because there is no clear path for OTA updates, I received my truck in Feb of this year 2023 ER XLT, I’m just getting this now when it seems like everyone else had it months before me. Believe me I was like a little kid to finally have percentage on the main screen...
  15. Ford's going to lose me with not showing me state of charge %

    If you just got pushed 6.5, 6.8 is next and should happen pretty quick, I went from 6.5 to 6.8 the next day as have many others… at least we can get our truck wet without it shorting out ?
  16. Software updates?

    I was in a slow update phase , received 3 updates this week , finally hit 6.8
  17. Low Coolant Level and dropping - VC-13DL-G

    If you have anything else you need, rockauto was like 11.76 for a gallon, just had to use my 2011 as the vehicle for the the vc13 type to show up. I’m guessing with shipping it’s still less than 25 even add in 5% code from rock auto.
  18. It happened to me...12V battery issue

    There is a member here that supplied the files for a 3d printer (assuming you are talking about the 1/2turn clips). He also sells them for like 3 bucks a piece. https://www.mattsprintables.com/. No affiliation but cheaper than a printer and definitely a better option than buying a whole assembly.
  19. Dashcam Recommendation?

    FITCAMX, buy a 256gb pro/industrial sd card and chuck the one that comes with it.
