  1. Ford CEO expects EV sales to be cut in half after US tax credits end today

    You are assuming they are making a profit at those prices. Ford lost about $37,000 per EV sold in 2024. They are subsidizing our vehicles. Thanks Ford!😬
  2. Ford CEO expects EV sales to be cut in half after US tax credits end today

    Right, the auto industry is necessarily a heavily regulated industry. Manufacturers have no choice but to make decisions based on government policy. Until recently that policy always trended toward safer and cleaner with free trade. The only decision was exactly how safe and how clean to plan...
  3. Tailgate assist opens but only closes sometimes.

    Try helping it closed a few times then see if it works. I don't know exactly how it works but there might be a spring that needs to be tensioned. Maybe opening and closing tensions the spring? I only say this because mine has failed to close in the past, then it worked again. I don't know why...
  4. Low Phone Battery Warning

    I think that's an Android Auto setting. I get messages like, "turn your screen off for better performance," and "stop browsing Facebook Marketplace and watch the road, dummy" all the time.😁
  5. "Low Fuel" Warning

    An IP message pops up at the value you have selected in Settings. I believe mine is set to 50 miles but I rarely get that low so I might be mistaken. @WXman, if you haven't already, I suggest taking an hour and looking at all the available settings in the Settings menu. Turn on your favorite...
  6. Engaged off-road at 45mph

    How's the saying go? Ford wimpy? Ford soft? Ford namby-pamby? NO! FORD TOUGH!
  7. Platinum seat bleeding issue!

    I just realized that I have this issue AND I have a small cut in the side of the driver's seat. Maybe I can get the driver's seat cover replaced.🤔
  8. Looks like I get to do some fast learning

    Have you received an update recently? I had a spurious power train malfunction once immediately following an OTA. I later had a battery module replaced but it was two years later without issue between.
  9. SOC % dropping as soon as I turn truck on

    One would think... I showed the dealer rep the bulletin that said to do a battery health check when my truck's symptoms were observed. They couldn't find the bulletin in their system so they (supposedly) relied on direction from Ford, which was to update every module in the truck! Obviously...
  10. 80A Charging Cable Under Garage Door

    That's unfortunate. I run my 80A cord under my garage using the Undor solution. It seems like a very bad idea to smash the wire that is probably carrying the most current in your house. If you look up the Undor instructions you can get an idea of how to set up a similar system on your own. A...
  11. SOC % dropping as soon as I turn truck on

    ☝️This. There is an anomaly where one battery module is bad but there are no IP or DTC messages. It can be identified by charging your truck to some number higher than about 87% and observing the SOC behavior upon startup and driving. A truck with a bad module will drop from a higher SOC to...
  12. Frunk Update Ruined Torque Delivery?

    A change in traction control is possible. If you hold the traction control button down for 10 seconds it will be turned off. BEWARE! 775 instant ft-lbs is not something most people have ever had access to. I tried it in the snow last year and it was basically undrivable.
  13. Frunk Update Ruined Torque Delivery?

    Can you provide more information? Is this issue an ongoing problem? What is the SOC when the perceived low power happens? Are you showing full power available in the IP screen? How is the truck loaded; is there a bunch of stuff in the bed/frunk/cab?
  14. Missing Tailgate Bracket on 2024 Lightning Lariat?

    Mine has the bracket on the passenger side and nothing on the driver's side. No holes or bracket.
  15. Ford: Please re-map the duplicative Max Defrost screen button to another function

    I was under the impression that the backseat was always conditioned or, said another way, "driver focused" just turns off the front seat passenger HVAC. My reasoning for this belief is there is no third climate zone that can be adjusted, which means the back seat must be adjusted by either the...
  16. Lingering issues

    Yes. Has it been hit? I once had a car with four tires that refused to hold air over long periods of time. In my case it was wheel corrosion due to '90s GM quality. The solution was to essentially glue the bead on the wheel, though I'm not sure what this process is called or what product the...
  17. Umpteenth undercoat thread

    Personally, I'm not concerned about structural rust... however I also wash my truck regularly so salt and road grime aren't around long. Undercoating definitely works. I used to have an F150 that the previous owner had undercoated regularly; it didn't even have surface rust...it had black stuff...
  18. 2025 IIHS Moderate overlap front: updated test

    But you are aware that other people exist, right? The breakdown of scores doesn't look "much better" to those of us whose children ride in the backseat.
  19. Debate regarding braking, regen, and brake light illumination.

    Everyone else would be confused if the term "negative acceleration" was used.
  20. Phone As A Key VERY Unreliable!

    I would stop carrying my wallet if I didn't need my ID occasionally. Seven pockets full of stuff is the kind of thing that keeps me up at night.😳
