According to old posts, he got a wave 5 order invite from Ford and placed the order accordingly. He or she has been waiting for the build date since that time.

Wow... So people who placed orders for 2022 models are getting bumped to 2023? This is a big deal, and this is the first report I've seen of this. I'm sure more people will get similar news about their orders.

When they plugged it in to charge the HVB, the truck would automatically transfer some of that energy from the HVB to charge the LVB as well if low. That's how the truck maintains the LVB... It just transfers energy from the HVB down to the LVB as needed. There is no alternator to maintain it...

That will help some. Unfortunately the problem with LVB failures on Ford EVs up to this point are a little trickier to nail down than that. The LVB is one small part of the system. The problems on the Mach E were often due to the car not kicking in to maintain the charge on the 12 V battery...

Your dealer sucks. I hope they get it going for you soon.

You're trolling at this point. A quick interwebs search shows that you will not find a new $90k Mercedes and Porsche with that much plastic on the doors and dash. In that price range they are offering features like heated armrests and other luxury stuff.

Is your trucking working find after being charged at the dealer?

I don't think you 2 are even talking about the same thing anymore. PopsGGi is correctly pointing out that nearly every $90k vehicle on the road has a more high end look and feel that the Lightning. That's not completely subjective as you are stating. It's more than an opinion. You can't...

It's certainly not like solving a Rubix cube, but simple is how I would describe jumping ICE vehicles. 1) Pull mechanical release to pop hood. 2) Attach jumper cables. 3. Done. On the EV examples you described as simple, it would proceed like this. 1) Crap, the hood won't open because the...

Oh, yes... Looks like progress compared to the Mach E.

You have to remove 2 panels in the Mach E frunk to get to the battery. Before that, you need to open a small access panel on the front bumper area, use an external power supply to provide the energy to pop the frunk, then you can remove the panels to get to the battery. It's not hard to do in...

I agree. I don't think the OP ever tried this due to not believing this could be the culprit. Also, I'm not sure how easy it is to access the 12V battery to jump it. It is not easy to do this on the Mach E, but hopefully Ford learned from that mistake and provided easier access to the 12V...

So far the only time I've seen this problem is with the Ford Mach E. It happened to a ton of different people with the Mach E shortly after taking delivery. The cars turned into bricks until dealers replaced the low voltage battery and often other related parts that controlled how the HVB was...

I agree it's probably a LVB problem, but the OP is denying this. See the quote below from the OP who keeps disagreeing with people who suggest it is the LVB or something related to the LVB. They didn't... Yet. I suspect this info will be coming soon now that the dealer has the truck. I have...

The guy is not saying that at all. He is basically expressing that he disagrees with the people who suggested the cause was anything other than the high voltage battery. He posted a video as evidence the problem wasn't the LVB, but the video doesn't provide any evidence the problem was the...

I don't have any particular involvement in this debate, but the video didn't settle that debate at all. The video clearly does NOT say the traction batter is dead. In fact, it says the truck battery is at 5% with 10 miles range left. When the error message pops up amd says he needs to "charge...

I don't know what you mean by the term "spec sheet." You just posted an unlabeled screenshot with zero context. Also... That screenshot still doesn't say anything about xlt getting the large screen or power sliding rear window, does it? Ford's website says the xlt does not have those features.

No... Those were never part of the 312a package for the xlt. I think you ordered that package after not reading the specs closely enough mad now are frustrated with Ford. It wasn't Ford's fault.

I had a NEMA 14-50 plug installed in my garage last year for $500, which included the 15 ft of wire and the 50 amp circuit breaker. Rather than running it through the wall, they ran conduit along the garage ceiling and down the wall to the plug.

I stand corrected. I initially thought this included the home integration system. If this only includes installing the charger and an outlet, I think it's too high. It does seem to include the installation of a subpanel, but it still seems expensive.
