Not to rub it in, but I tried the adapter Sunday. Wow. Just WOW! Super fast charging. Cheaper and faster than any places I charged at two Ford Dealers. Seamless. Paid through Ford automatically. Charging through Ford chargers at two dealers took a couple minutes to recognize vehicle and...
Yeah, I guess I’m lucky. Might play the lottery. I actually was going to order theA2Z Typhoon the night before I received mine, but got sidetracked.
This thing is like gold. Bought a zippered hard-side case off Amazon to protect and carry it. Should really find a way to add a lanyard on it...
To my surprise when I got home last night, was a box “To Our Valued Customer”. In it, an adapter. All I can figure is that it was shipped based on my 2023 Lightning I sold in April 2024. Although I could never track the adapter status after I sold the truck because the VIN was no longer...
Yeah, I work with Engineers. The won’t get it. They’ll be more interested if the connections are per NEC, and any reference to “wire nuts” will be met with a blank stare and response of “Those are wire nuts? I thought those are twist-on wire connectors?”
I LOVE RWL’s. OWL’s are an okay second.
I think on the Lightning, some RWL’s like the NASCAR’s run (not as big letters) would look good spinning around in storefront windows as I drive by. Blackwalls are for sport trucks and lazy azzes that can’t wash tires. The same ones who flip their...
I would’ve bet the farm my 2023 Lightning displayed charging status on the dashboard even when the truck was off, but fast charging.
My 2024 is blank. Is there a way to see the status without opening the door every time?
They DO need to get with the program. SOOOOO MUCH negative press on the Lightning from the ill informed media. So many people ask me and my son questions, and just can’t believe what we tell them as actual users/owners. I’m ALWAYS a Ford proponent. Even being a 3.0L Stroke diesel owner...
The majority of my comments are just out of sheer frustration. I have supported Ford for over 40 years. I have bought a ton of trucks. My son has followed suit, as well. We both own Lightnings now and we share the same sentiment…. IF someone told us we had to drive something different, what...
We have two Wallboxes that charge every night. Their application is seamless. Ford should get a clue. I feel they have “just outta school” techies, who know nothing, but want everything, including the week off for personal time because they worked so hard. Same here at work. Want the pay...
Update: Ford Dealer checked truck outs sure enough, the module that controls the dates was affected by the latest update. Screwed all dates and times up so I can’t schedule charging, schedule updates, etc. Supposedly Ford is working on an update. Meanwhile, I can’t use the Ford App to...
Ford should just offer Economy Mode similar to Rivian. When cruising down the interstate, one motor shuts off saving energy. It’d be good at interstate speeds. Then, automatically reinstate the second when slowing down below 60. Not sure how it would affect the regenerative braking.
ON...
So, I contacted the Ford Advisor who texted me after I bought my Lightning. He tried to help, but nothing. He gave me a number to call. While I was in the truck chatting, I checked the update to find the truck in the middle of an update over 12 hours outside my scheduled update time. Huh...
Temp has not been an issue.
Now neither my truck OR my sons will charge through the Ford app. We both just had updates. That’s when this all started.
Now, our trucks start the EVSE despite the Ford Pass app having a specific start time hours later, then they cycle repeatedly: charging (to...
Thanks for the replies and suggestions.
I actually had deleted all locations prior to no avail. Finally, I renamed my “Home” location with a different name, then tried to change the times in the trucks screen. No luck there, but I could finally change them in the phone app. We’ll see if she...
I have had no issues since the latest update. Now, I plug my truck in, and I get charging faults.
I have always had my truck set to charge from 10pm to 6am during the cheapest rates. Well, Friday night, I see my truck had a charging faults. I could not get it to charge, and was forced to go...
Ford needs to get off their dead @$$ and remember that EVERYONE who bought a Lightning should be treated similarly regarding these adapters. I spent $500 on the mobile charger because Ford has a “package” truck they build for their distribution centers for quick ship. They include a twist-lock...
