The truck is very usable with the "Service Vehicle Soon" warning light and P0B24 error. The presence of the wrench icon will prevent you from charging above approximately to the percent the drivetrain power is limited to, mid 50's maybe mid 60's. If you clear the warning with a ODB2 reader...

Day 1, Tues 7 Jan. vehicle dropped off - no loaner offered Day 4, Fri 10 Jan. Technician looks at vehicle sees anomalous 30 mV voltage delta of suspect cells in module 3. Service dept requests warranty replacement module from Ford Day 8, Tues 14 Jan. Ford approves warranty replacement module...

Colorado's specific ownership tax is based on 75% of MSRP and age. There is a Colorado financial penalty for driving new cars. The curve flattens when you reach 5y, which your Tesla must be close to. So, you're primarily seeing the new car penalty on the newer Lightning. It's virtually...

You could save space with this Ninja Air fryer. I think it's a little more space efficient with a higher internal/total volume ratio. I bake cookies and pizza in it off Lightning power. It also flips up to save valuable horizontal space when not in use. Your gas stove is nicely integrated. For...

It’s like waking up to a gallon of gas appearing in your tank when you’re in the middle of nowhere.

I received the P0B24 warning Christmas Eve. I just cleared it and was able to complete a 1,500 road trip with no major issue. DC charging slows more than normal above 83% and AC charging slows above 93%. The warning on the dash says "Service Vehicle soon." You can keep using it until it's...

Their 330W x 5 is a bit much with today's panel efficiency. You can see it overhangs front and back significantly. How much added height is that? a foot? Let's see their next iteration. 1,000W today is more practical with far less overhang better fitting the truck's profile. Right now, I...

The service department must first submit a report to Ford on the battery cell voltages. Ford will then approve the warranty repair and allow the service department to place an order for the replacement battery module.

Thanks for the correction.

You can fit about 1,000W above a smartcap and sticking a bit forward above the cab. As solar improves from 21ish to 25ish percent module efficiency, you start to push 1,200W in that same roof space. The 120V charger draws 1,440W. You'll get about 8h equivalent on a sunny summer solstice day...

What's the lightning's energy density of the high voltage battery? I've seen some early references to an 1,800 lb battery. Does that correspond to the standard range vehicle's 107.6 kWh? If so, then it's 107.6 Wh / 818.18 kg = 131.5 Wh/kg - is that right? I'm curious how this compares to...

Instead of folding the seats up in your picture, you can fold the top of the seat down to get more space front to back. I've slept on the seats folded down. No extra platform needed. Caution: the driver's side has a very sharp latch which will poke a hole in an inflatable mat if you don't...

Service managers do not provide consistent information across dealers. There's been no mention from the service department Ford will reimburse me for any expenses while my vehicle is out of service for warranty repairs. I see a previous post mentioned a phone number to call for reimbursement...

Does a sketchup subscription include the f150 model? I want to lay out some panels on the roof of a smartcap.

Why can't we just pay $5/day in a drop-box? I saw this at a 20 kW Tesla destination charger in Escalante, UT (put $20 in the drop-box). Maybe I need to bring a payment drop-box and key and donate that to a ranger as well if they can't spare $10 from their allowable budget for a box. There...

Why doesn't Ford continue proactively managing the battery module replacement process to improve their customer's experience and confidence in the Ford EV model? 2.5+ weeks without your new vehicle is a terrible experience. These vehicles appear to drive fine and charge okay* for weeks with a...

What module? My module 3 was requested Fri 10 Jan, Approved by Ford Tues 14 Jan. It’s on the road to the service department right now.

You should add some solar panels and charge anywhere.

The technician also disconnected the 12V battery while we await the replacement high voltage module to be delivered. This should prevent the vehicle from damaging the 12V battery.
