I bought an 06 F150 in 2010, drove it till the engine stared having issues in 2022. Got a MME, but didn’t like not having a truck. I had the Lightning reserved since day 1, so traded to it as soon as I could which was nov 23. I think this will do better than the 16 years my old truck made it...

This might finally explain why my early August 2023 build didn’t get to the dealer till the very end of October.

Have you tried NOT pounding what appears to be a giant wooden stake into the tread? FWIW I have almost 20k on my Goodyear Wranglers that came on my '23 and they've still got plenty of life left. I wonder why there's so much variance in which tires game on the truck.

I think Chapman is really trying to be the place to go for EVs in the Phoenix area. Good on them for getting that done in a few days. I've always thought the 10 day repair for that was super excessive, most of that has got to be the queue to get in to service and shipping. Chapman may be trying...

It doesn't change the acceleration capability, but it does alter the pedal response a bit so that you get to higher levels of power faster. It also increases the simulated engine drag (using regenerative braking) when you let off the pedal.

To be fair, for like 5 of those months, they weren't shipping in the states either.

I really dislike the auto controls. Feels like it's using both heat and AC simultaneously, which has to be terrible for the battery. It's also trying to maintain the cabin temps by changing the temp of what's coming out of the vents, which again, I dislike the feel of. I'm probably in the...

I'm picking up what you're laying down, the only thing I'll clarify, Granger and Flood sell 1st party Ford extended warranties even for used cars. (PS Granger is a site sponsor, so go with them) It's probably effectively the same plans that certified used cars would come with. All those...

As they said in Tommy Boy: You're not finding them certified because certified is just added effort that's not needed to help sell them. Buy used, get a used extended warranty from Granger or Flood or whoever, and enjoy. When it comes down to it, there's pretty much no required maintenance for...

Problem is the investment is already made. They make up against that initial loss with the slim profit on each unit. No reason to stop making them if they’re selling, but they are making them faster than they sell, so they have to slow down. It would be foolish to fall for the tax-dodging...

My grandma once told me: “everyone likes a little ass, no one likes a smartass”

The idea that Ford loses money on every EV is an accounting myth that factors in things like one time fixed costs of building and expanding factories. Ford knows how business works, they don’t have seed money, they aren’t taking a loss to start up. There is profit per car compared to parts and...

1. No security is probably better, copper thief is gonna steal cable, locking the port means they'll damage your truck to do it. This is a matter of opinion I'm sure, but it's the only explanation I can come up with. 2. Yeah, when using a DCFC, it will lock to the port for safety reasons. If you...

Wait, what... Really?

In the "accountants of businesses that don't like to pay taxes and don't mind the bad press of revealing massive losses" world. If you factor investments in to fixed capital resources, you get to claim that loss. If they didn't apply those one-time costs to EV's they would show profit per...

Blind spot sensor is built into the taillight because reasons. A lot of people go the Ebay route for a new taillight and swap their BLISS into the new light so they don't have to re-program anything. Good luck.

Everyone is answering this as in "I've put the pedal to the metal and had no issues" and while the OP hasn't said anything I feel like the original question is more about what would happen if I removed the restrictions built in to the truck including the speed governor. Would the motors fail...

Appreciate this thread. Holding off till 18.2 before I upgrade.

Holy hell what a shit show. Ford has a dealer issue that drags their name through the mud. Until they fix that these stories will continue to kill any brand loyalty.

Does Tesla make their OS and app available to any other OEMs? It doesn’t really matter since Ford’s system is distributed micro controllers instead of Tesla’s central computer, the Tesla OS would be pretty incompatible. Any layer of translation/abstraction would make it super laggy.
