Either Plug and Charge (Ford's pay as you go) or Tesla App - Tesla App being cheaper if you get membership. Have ABRP no dongle - was on to buy list however unless I road trip >1000 miles more of a hassle. The truck doesn't come with a Tesla adaptor, order one online now and have it for the...

FWIW: we had three trucks eligible have received Two adaptors - 1st one ordered minutes after email arrived six months ago - March 2nd adaptor showed up last month - the third adaptor ordered March 9th - no news on it yet so >12 months wait. (In Canada) Having a ‘24 ask your dealer or order it...

Our Ford dealer did same installed the 120kw Ford Branded chargers - they work well but the cable is size of my wrist and becomes a bar at -30 it DOES NOT BEND. Meanwhile at the Tesla ranch at -35 still flexible and charges at 100kws…. Love em or hate em, the Tesla stuff is just designed better.

Starts at -35 unplugged, red battery temp, like any vehicle I don’t recommend doing it regularly - plug in. If you do start with red battery wait 5-10 minutes with truck “on” so all the plastic in battery can warm up before driving and temp is at least yellow. Note - remote start doesn’t help...

Too much for your use case, you don't do enough miles for the cost. Find a 22\23 Lariat SR for mid 30's it will still have full warranty add a Granger warranty if concerned. In Cali you don't need an ER or heat pump.

Like others after 50k brakes were 7-8 mm at last tire change - no concerns on the pads we were advised to potentially have calipers lubed every couple years they see more seized calipers then brake jobs on the evs.

Popping breaker definitely a bad sign, I'd still cycle the 12v - nothing to lose but unfortunately I think your truck is getting a dealer vacation trip.

One, two... five lol. Have my eye on a red 23 Platinum if I can justify number 6... Like many my wife is addicted to the truck, she gets the Lariat I get the Pro ;)

Below freezing 180 miles is really touch and go with an ER, you are trying for 250-260 miles on basically what I'd figure 240 is your max in cold weather. If there's a Tesla station on way then plan for a $5 power charge as a plan B and you'll be fine. But dont leave home without the NACS...

Beautiful truck! Not a colour we see up here I'd like one ;)

It will come down to price spread the EV economics already work and SRs are viable for 90% of actual users - so the range extend is only a nice to have much like ER battery. If the Erev is priced at or below Lightning ER however it will kill the Lightning market. More then the ER, the...

The only observable difference I’ve seen that you can control is tires and inflation. 5-10% swings winters/summers/35/45/AT/low resistance Tonneau, flaps, boards are all so negligible that driving 1 mph less would eclipse benefit. 1-2 kw differences 0-100 on a pack, if that matters on your...

Walmart hair dryer, add it to the truck emergency kit…. Also carry a cheap air compressor has to be small the propower doesn’t like surge at compressor startup.

I foresee Lightnings becoming the JK Jeep of the truck world. In 3-5 years an aftermarket 200 kw solid state pack will come out for $20k. People will pickup a SR used for $15k add the new pack and be thrilled. The packs don’t look like a bad swap just connectors. Reminds me of an SSD hard...

Not a lot you can do, there is a thread somewhere that wind tunnel modelled the trucks with different mods the only one that was moderately realistic is a cybertruck style cap for the back - and at $7500 I question payback but might get you 10 more miles. You can shorten the antenna, make sure...

Our Lariat is at dealership now for pre-expiry inspection - so far new 12v battery, sensor wiring harness, both running boards (led lights) and driver mirror (led courtesy light), add in tailgate lightbar from early days and see a pattern? Unfort at 4,000 miles a month... looking at the max...

From watching the different trucks on everything from L1 to FCSP this past month of arctic cold - the L1 does keep battery at low end of Blue on the 23s. If you have access to a 120 follow the always be charging mantra in winter. I call out year as 24s have different battery logic then 23s...

Lane centering in Lariat mimics Bluecruise nagging just with steering monitoring turned on…. It yells for eyes on road every time lift coffee cup for a drink. Lane centering on the XLT… so much more pleasant.

His satisfaction will go up with preconditioning - efficient? No…. Less stressful yes. Always plug in, your net power use will be the same but your enjoyment will be much higher. The trucks are bricks, he needs to slow down - not what many traditional ICE owners want to hear. Short drive...

The 2nd for reasons listed, if from a dealer ask for extended warranty at cost (match Granger). If they want the sale they will. The 23s have theoretically a year of bug fixes from 1st run learnings - rear light bar - etc. I’d ask what warranty is on new pack - 8 years from replacement? Also...
