I (and unfortunately probably a growing number of others) would like to know more about the buyback if you're wiling to share, either in this open forum or via DM. Your patience for waiting 20 weeks is astounding.

I have found the BEV Hotline to be of little use. Doesn't mean you shouldn't call - you should - just temper your expectations. I've been told contradictory things from the BEV hotline regarding rental car reimbursements, gas reimbursements, and have received no original info from them...

Why was your customer service case initially denied? And what caused it to be subsequently approved?

Another vote for the Emporia. The "excess solar" feature is the killer function if you have TOU metering.

Initially the dealer set up a rental, because they set it up they were paying for it and it had to be a Ford, fine. They put me in a ICE Mustang convertible. I think the entire interior of that thing could fit in the backseat of my Lightning. No other Ford products were available at the three...

Update: Beware of @Ford BEV Hotline - Yesterday I traded in one rental car for another because I need a truck to go on vacation with. The new rental reservation was for a F-150 ICE vehicle and I was lucky to get it, rental trucks - cars of any kind actually - are not easy to come by in my town...

In need of opinions... I experienced this fault 6+ weeks ago and took it to the dealer immediately, fortunately I had 25% power and was able to drive it there. Long story short, two battery modules were identified as problematic and were ordered and replaced, BECM was then deemed faulty after...

When I last saw mine 5 weeks ago (it has taken up residence at the local dealer, awaiting parts) it didn't have AM. Has one of the updates since then enabled it?

So the article says that Ford keeps the whip antennae on the Lighting for demographic reasons, basically AM radio in the wide open spaces. Yet they removed AM radio from the 2023 Lighting. Got it.

For the slow amongst us, how did you filter Plugshare to only show Magic Docks? Not seeing that option...

Is that the same as the Blend Date on the Window Sticker? My truck is unavailable to compare, the dealer has had it for almost a month now...

I too was told no loaners are available and "only Ford" for the rental car, but a call and a few emails to the BEV team resulted in a commitment from them to reimburse me for any vehicle that I rented, as long as it was at or below $65/day. Oh, and I get to pay the taxes, those aren't being...

I'm sounding like the lucky one here. Mine has only been at the dealer for two weeks and I just got a call today saying the parts are in. Like most dealers they don't have enough qualified mechanics yet, so the Lighting that has been a the dealership (parts arrived at the same time as mine)...

All valid points, however, if you have solar panels and TOU metering, then the Emporia "Excess Solar" feature is the Killer App. It charges the vehicle with excess solar power at a continuously variable rate using whatever your panels generate above your otherwise base load, but at a minimum of...

Update: Dealer confirmed that battery modules (2?) are bad, they don't offer a guess as to when they will be available. They have another Lightning that has been in their shop "a month" waiting for modules as well. I did start a case with the Ford BEV Team (thanks to comments on this site) but...

Delivery January 23 11,000 miles DCFC perhaps 6 or 8 times to no more than 85% Level 2 Home Charger (Emporia w/ "Surplus Solar" feature, killer!), usually short charges to take advantage of my solar panel power availability. PG&E territory, why give it to them at $0.12 during the day and buy it...

Add me to the list. 2023 XLT SR with 11k miles. Dec 22 blend date, January delivery. Just read through the entire thread, there's obviously a selection bias happening here but nonetheless it's hard not to be pessimistic about this issue. I have an appt with the dealer - first ever for any...

Mine updated last night too, after a couple of weeks of failed automatic attempts and half-a-dozen manual ones. I did the BMS reset a few days ago but it failed a few time after that, so that probably wasn't the issue. The only thing I can think of that may have had an influence was that I...

If you're running CarPlay (Android Auto), is there any reason to have Mobile Apps enabled? I've searched the interwebs and the Owner's Manual and can't find a compelling argument in favor, especially in the current environment where the Mobile App selection is so paltry. Plus, have you read the...

Just got this from Ford today. I received my truck on January 17th. Like the vehicle, but the Ford experience has been ... uneven.
