I just did it. Worked like a champ for my 2023 and extended me to 2027. I suspect that Ford is doing this to get 3 year trial folks configured up for an annual renewal. A free year following the trial is a heck of a carrot to do so. Now 4 years of Blue Cruise. ?
When I bought my F150 Lightning in 2023, Tesla Supercharger access wasn't even on the radar.
I can tell you as someone who has done over 75k miles of EV roadtripping that the charging situation has improved dramatically over the past 3+ years. In this time, Electrify America stepped up their...
Hey @Ford Motor Company, does this update have anything to do with my app no longer being able to provide a charging estimate for my 2023 Lariat ER? It was working fine a couple of days ago.
I've got my 3 free years with my 2023 Lariat ER and coming up to 1 year left.
I am planning to re-up at the end of the free period. I do a lot of long distance driving that makes it worthwhile.
That said, if Ford is listening, I would really like to see the BC 1.4 update soon. ?
I put a few thousand miles on an 2023 ICE F150 XLT before getting my Lightning. That 2023 XLT was a thirsty truck.
You make an important point. The cost of DC fast charging is quite a bit higher than it used to be. In 2022, my EV charging costs were about 20% of gas, especially charging in...
I wouldn't change a thing. I certainly don't have any Cybertruck envy, because that Tesla is a steaming pile of garbage with the kind of freefall depreciation that makes a Lightning look like a 401k. The Lightning literally does everything better.
I don't know how old your son is, but in our...
If you activate the charger through the Tesla app first, it will use your membership. Plug-n-charge will still work, ie. You don't have to disable it.
If you just plug in, you won't get the special member pricing. The same is true for EA and other networks.
Dynamically, the Silverado sucks to drive compared to the Lightning and consistently loses to the Ford in reviews. The Chevy is just too heavy
You’re not going to see 350kw charging with a 400V electrical system. Truth be told, the Lightning’s charging curve isn’t bad at all for a 400V EV...
I am totally fine with the staged rollouts. Stability is more important to me when it comes to a car, truck, or motorcycle. I don't want to be a Beta tester -- I want everything to just work.
I don't think that the Tesla model of constantly breaking/updating things is a good one for something...
No need for FOMO. I haven’t gotten yet for my 2023 Lariat ER. I consistently get the updates a couple months later than the early crew.
My last update was the improved connectivity update back in October.
I don't know how the engineers working at other truck manufacturers have the strength/will to get out of bed every morning to compete with F-series trucks.
I've put thousands of miles on Silverados and Ram trucks. When it comes to my own money, it's always Ford. They just nail the details that...
With a 23 Lariat ER, now I wait.
Given that I have about 3000 miles of roadtripping on deck in January, looking forward forward to BC 1.4 arriving before then.
The adapter produced by Tesla is so janky that I wouldn't pay actual cash money for it.
As a FREE adapter, sure, fine, but it's not well made and feels like Tesla squeezed every last penny of margin out of it. Heck, it doesn't even come with a protective case.
