  1. Extended range battery constraints?

    Ford orders X cell arrays, then builds them into batteries.
  2. First quick trip in my Lightning Platinum got a lot of attention

    LOL... I bow to your power to change the laws of Physics...
  3. Extended range battery constraints?

    If ER batteries are a constraint, then SR batteries will be a constraint. Internally they use the same cell arrays, the ER battery just gets one more array than the SR. The dealer statement is questionable.
  4. Sync4 failure

    To reboot Sync on Mach-E, it's: On the steering wheel, hold "radio seek right" and "volume down" button at the same time for a few seconds.
  5. How easy would it be to steal a Lightning?

    Agree with these points... except handling a HV battery has a high probability of getting yourself dead if you don't know what you are doing, and it weighs roughly 1500 lbs.
  6. First quick trip in my Lightning Platinum got a lot of attention

    The regen process is not 100% efficient, but coasting IS 100% efficient. Regen is, of course, the best alternative when you must brake, versus using the mechanical brakes, which are 0% efficient, lol.
  7. First quick trip in my Lightning Platinum got a lot of attention

    I'm sure it's somewhere in Shanghai Harbor, ready to set sail.
  8. First quick trip in my Lightning Platinum got a lot of attention

    The most efficient mode is the one with the least regen when not pushing the accelerator. One-pedal is the least efficient mode.
  9. F-150 Lightning will be one and done stopgap in Ford's EV plans

    Almost every vehicle is one and done. Designs constantly evolve. It's like not buying the first iPhone or Blackberry because it was one and done.
  10. My build date just moved another month later.... anyone else?

    Crude explanation: The general schedule is based on material availability. The plant itself only sees small chunks of orders at a time, and those are optimized on trim levels for what it sees. You don't want the plant to have to have all parts for all potential models/options at all times. That...
  11. Poll: A lot theories on why we aren’t seeing shipments ⚡️

    This is a great poll, except the right answer is not a choice. :(
  12. Exclusive leaked draft email from Ford's marketing and customer engagement dept

    Fix your hair, it got messed up when that joke flew over, lol...
  13. Star White F-150 Lightning (+ Two Toned Seats & Apple CarPlay) : First Good Looks

    Yes, it's an EMC issue, and Tesla fixed the problem by deleting AM capability versus shielding and designing for good EMC performance. It was likely the right decision for them, since the cost of redesigning their vehicles would have been big $$$, and would not made sense when you look at what...
