  1. How to purchase HIS now (1/2023)

    Don't know anything about the AEExpress web site you speak of. But SunRun is the sole supplier of the bi-direction inverter and disconnect unit that pairs with the Ford Charge Station Pro. The only way to get the HIS to work as intended is to purchase through SunRun. And yes, they're terrible...
  2. ✅ 12/05 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

    I'm hoping you guys are successful with the 0%. No such thing at year end when I took delivery... Oh well.
  3. ✅ 12/05 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

    It 100% DOES NOT come with the 511A package anymore. Must be added as a $225 option. Yes, I'm still a bit salty about it not being there, but wasn't a deal breaker when I picked up the truck. In some ways I like having the full floor with the all weather mat there. But could use the storage...
  4. Chip deletes - can features be added later?

    Did it ever list the steering wheel heat delete? The only deleted component happening when I placed my order was the scales and smart hitch and the jury was still out on how that would work. I had to re-confirm or acknowledge them being deleted in order to have Ford accept the order and get a...
  5. Cannot trust my truck to stop charging at 90%

    While I completely agree with your statement, it needs to be said that a hard limit set in the truck is a much easier feature to implement than this location based nonsense they're trying to do.
  6. Cannot trust my truck to stop charging at 90%

    The whole charge limit by location is fine in theory to set certain locations if you want. But there should be a way to directly set the hard limit within the truck. Or there should be user confirmation to go above 90%...
  7. Am I crazy - L1 at home is adequate?

    L1 charging sucks. That said, my Lightning has been plugged into 120V recently as I've been out of town. It's garaged so not that cold. It does seem to do some conditioning of the battery while plugged in but only minimal. I can't tell much, but I've been informed that the fan and such run...
  8. Loud fan noise

    Yep. Another vote here for taking it in for service.
  9. ✅ 11/14 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

    Coolant should very infrequently need to be checked and topped off. Similar to coolant in an ICE vehicle... It's really only a problem if there's a leak. Another forum member started a thread about this and that he's noticing low coolant level, which probably means he has a leak somewhere. I...
  10. Time from order to ship (to dealer) to pick up?

    Well, back up there... What day did you actually place your order? Your post says 5/15, so if that was the case, then something is very wrong here. But let's just get the dates figured out... When did you place the order and when was it accepted/confirmed? For me, I was invited in Wave 2 of...
  11. Chip deletes - can features be added later?

    It's a motion sensor inside the cabin. Personally, I'm glad it's been removed from my truck. I had that feature on my Expedition and anytime I had dogs with me, they would trigger the alarm if I locked the Expedition with them inside it unless I remembered to disable. And had to do it EVERY...
  12. Chip deletes - can features be added later?

    As of right now, the heated steering wheel is supposed to be added back in with a retrofit kit later this year. But we don't know anything more than that, details sometime soon-ish. I'll believe it when I see it. Would really like to have the heated steering wheel, but agree that the cabin is...
  13. Ford 48 amp charger

    If it's been 3 weeks and you haven't heard about your 80 AMP charge station pro, then something is wrong. Double check with your dealership and then call SunRun. Chances are your email address didn't get relayed properly with the sale info. You should receive a confirmation email from SunRun...
  14. ✅ 11/28 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

    Sounds like a bunch of BS projection to me... As if they would know if all those trucks were immediately flipped or not. And NO ONE is making a profit on flipping Lightnings, the market is just not there except in a few extremely rare situations. Anyway, glad it worked out overall. I got my...
  15. Where to get the Battery coolant to top off reservoir?

    Are you doing a lot of DC fast charging? Especially when cold or after the truck has been driven hard between charges -- think road trip and maintaining 75+ MPH most of the way... Rapid heating while charging can cause the coolant to vaporize and the pack will vent. We get that in our Tesla...
  16. Ordered an Escape PHEV - Is There an Adapter for the FCSP?

    You need a CCS to J1772 adapter, or something that just extends the J1772 portion of the connector, which does not seem to exist even though lots of people are asking for one to use with their Ford CSP to other vehicles like the Nissan Leaf. But I don't think there's much market for it overall.
  17. Top Lightning gripes or dislikes.

    Fold down shifter is super gimmicky. I wish it had the shifter on the steering column like the stalk they still use in the Super Duty. This would free up space for better sized cup holders and whatnot and not have to stow the shifter to use the workspace... Having the dial shifter in the...
  18. Best Loan Rates?

    Best thing to do is just shop around. Parsons has good rates and that's who I went through (for 3.9%). I thought the process was simple, but it seems like they make some people jump through some real hoops at times. Parsons did need a few days to get it all put together ahead of time. If you...
  19. Lightning- 2022 or 2023 Lariat

    OK, that makes more sense. If they're configured the same, then the '22 is the better deal as it has no missing features and saves you a bit. Yes, Ford made the mobile charger a $500 add-on for 2023. Not worth it, IMO. Ford's mobile charger is pretty crappy. I ordered it with my '23 not...
  20. Priority Update: 22-PU-1009-MIL-DTE Calculation

    Agree. And also absurd that the EPA ratings standards themselves are not designed to represent more real-world driving circumstances. Tesla and VW are getting fined in other countries for false range claims by simply quoting the USA/EPA rated ranges. Really, these are NHTSA and EPA issues...
