  1. Horrible efficiency on recent trip.

    Right, which is what I expected and why 1.5 to 1.6 seemed so low
  2. Horrible efficiency on recent trip.

    I had it set to auto 1, 66F. Climate only used 3% of the total energy.
  3. Horrible efficiency on recent trip.

    I hadn't even considered that! Thank you!
  4. Horrible efficiency on recent trip.

    Not that I have noticed for highway driving. Once you are cruising at speed, it is all the same.
  5. Horrible efficiency on recent trip.

    Honestly - NY is getting pretty close to that, if not better. EV chargers being installed at all thruway rest areas. They are directly off the highway (no exit) and spaced about every 30 miles. Some are still under construction, but it will be very nice once done.
  6. Horrible efficiency on recent trip.

    Actually just had an inspection and they checked that - no issues.
  7. Horrible efficiency on recent trip.

    Whelp, after a charging stop, we averaged 1.6 again for the last 85 miles. Maybe I will have the dealer take a look at the shutter.
  8. Horrible efficiency on recent trip.

    How did you check it. The only way I could think to would be to have someone video it while I was driving. Nothing is jamming it that I can see, but I also can't move it by hand (not sure if normal or not).
  9. Horrible efficiency on recent trip.

    Yeah, it must have been something strange. On the reverse route now (well, I was, currently charging) and I am getting around 2.0.
  10. Horrible efficiency on recent trip.

    Overall for the trip down was 1.6 over a little less than 200 miles. During a slower speed section 55 to 60mph, efficiency increased to 1.8. I will check the tire pressure as soon as I can find a gas station on the trip home later today. Maybe that it is. Never had efficiency impacts this big...
  11. Horrible efficiency on recent trip.

    I have found the sweet spot to be between 72 and 74, but we have pretty good charger coverage so more frequent stops are available.
  12. Horrible efficiency on recent trip.

    I wanted to show all highway miles, so this was after a bathroom / breakfast stop at a rest area. We had been driving over an hour.
  13. Horrible efficiency on recent trip.

    A little lower than I normally keep it, but not very low. 40psi per tire.
  14. Horrible efficiency on recent trip.

    Hello all, Had my lighting for 3 years and many road trips now so I am used to all the things that impact efficiency, but this trip has me stumped. Relatively flat terrain, cruise set at 72 (with the some slowdowns), about 50 degrees out with minimal HVAC use, very light tail wind, and I am...
  15. What is your truck's nickname?

    Skye -The Iced Blue Silver paint matched the color of the sky perfectly on the day I picked her up. For what it is worth, my wife's 2021 Mach-e GT is named Colin.
  16. Carrying a load

    I have done it in tow/haul and in normal. Really didn't note much of a difference, so I just leave it in normal now. Even at Max payload, the truck barely feels like it is carrying anything.
  17. Infrared pics of heated steering wheel and driver's seat (2024 Lightning Flash)

    Are you willing to share what camera you are using? I have been looking for a low cost one to check heat leakage in my house and these images look plenty good enough for that!
  18. Lightning Club Annual Event hosted by Tom Moloughney & Ford (Oct 25) - Chester, NJ

    Would love more notice on these things if possible. I would be there but we are already booked for a college visit on the 25th.
  19. BlueCruise subscription question - ever any discounts offered?

    To be fair, it doesn't have to be perfect - just better than a human who are pretty flawed drivers.
  20. BlueCruise subscription question - ever any discounts offered?

    I thought you kept lane centering, not just lane keeping - it just isn't hands free.
