  1. Visit to Electrify America - Wow

    I've called a ton since owning CCS vehicles, but just don't have the time/interest for it any longer. I will still leave Plugshare reviews, and recommend everyone do that. Then the issues are public, and Electrify America does monitor Plugshare.
  2. Visit to Electrify America - Wow

    Shouldn’t they be monitoring this themselves? All chargers are internet connected. I just don’t see how this is the customer’s responsibility.
  3. BlueCruise Subscription Price Increased to $800/yr for All Renewals

    Another bait and switch. When I bought my truck I understood that one of the primary selling point features would cost $200 year ($600/3). Charging 4X that is absurd. That price is essentially like stripping a feature from the vehicle because it’s so out of line. I love this forum. You guys...
  4. HOW-TO DIY: Add Walk-Away Lock to F150 Lightning using Tasker & Android

    Very cool. Even as a former Tesla owner I really don’t miss this feature in other cars though. How reliable has it been?
  5. Can now buy air struts for lightning

    Air systems have gotten a lot more robust, with more aftermarket strut options when they fail. I wouldn't spec a luxury vehicle nowadays without air. @jredondox Curious how much more efficient it is on the highway in the lowest mode. Should be better. Maybe 0.1-0.2 kWh/m. That's my guess at least.
  6. Suspension identical SR versus ER?

    Yeah, I drove a very stripped down Pro, a Lariat SR, and purchased a Lariat ER. The Pro (sans moonroof) was the quietest, both in terms of wind and noise over bumpy roads. It felt the most isolated. Also the best ride as we've said. I think Edmunds also mentioned the ride quality being better...
  7. Suspension identical SR versus ER?

    I agree with this. The Pro felt a lot softer to me than my ER, and I think better over bumps. The weight difference is noticeable. It's around 700 lbs IIRC.
  8. Tonneau or not to Tonneau -- any efficiency improvements ?

    Consensus is no benefit. That makes sense, otherwise they would have included it with the truck.
  9. 2023 F-150 Lightning Order Banks Open 5/9/23 (No Reservation Required)

    The daily and trip charge scheme makes the most sense given the tech (balance of longevity, and ability to use more of the battery). But I would also love to never worry about how much and when to charge ever again. You make a great point.
  10. Need help fighting my dealer for my original Pro pricing

    Glad to hear it worked out. The whole $39,999 for a full size truck with two motors and a 100 kWh (usable) battery was a huge bait and switch. I’m sure the dozens that got it are rightfully happy though.
  11. Loud surge/boom and then electric static from speakers

    The problem with phone recordings is they will compress the audio. Nothing outside of those 18 speakers being pushed to their physical break point will recreate the sound pressure heard, but the NIOSH phone app (completely unpaired to the vehicle -airplane mode, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth off) will give a...
  12. Electrify America CEO (elect) took a cross-country road trip using EA chargers only

    They showed some issues (down chargers, slow rates, glitched software), but overall a far better trip than I could have expected based on past experience.
  13. Loud surge/boom and then electric static from speakers

    Man, this is so upsetting and exactly the reason I sold mine (at a big loss). Good luck, and please be careful. Hearing is ridiculously precious and hearing loss is permanent. If you could demonstrate this with a YouTube video, including a decibel meter in the shot (with doors closed) that...
  14. Expedite Charge Station Pro Delivery

    Hmm, I also paid cash but apparently they didn't mark it sold in a timely manner, then a recall was issued further delaying things to the point where it's still not marked sold. TaxmanHog said this was a less common situation, so hopefully they get it soon.
  15. Expedite Charge Station Pro Delivery

    I would hammer call them until you get it. I bought my truck in December and cannot get them to ship the thing.
  16. Advice on dealing with SunRun/Ford

    The CarMax vehicle was used, I purchased my Lightning new.
  17. Advice on dealing with SunRun/Ford

    Really appreciate everyone's input. The truck was purchased in Dec 2022, and the recall came out on Jan 9 2023. Maybe they were too slow with submitting the paperwork to Ford? I actually bought a vehicle from CarMax with an open recall for a passenger seatbelt sensor (something pretty critical...
  18. Advice on dealing with SunRun/Ford

    My Lightning is long gone and the Charge Station Pro was explicitly not part of that deal. I have been talking with SunRun for 4 months about the getting them to send the unit (most of which I was in possession of the truck). Only within the couple weeks I was told that they need Ford to mark...
  19. Loud surge/boom and then electric static from speakers

    Radio Exploding sonic boom then alien clicking static Dangerous B&O sound system issue + a bunch of other threads from various F150 forums. Ford told me that this is "not a known issue."
  20. 2022 Loan to truck value not great.

    It was well known that the flipper market for this truck died last summer. I’ve received dozens of contacts from dealers trying to get me to buy trucks this year. If you want one, they are not hard to find.
