I have been considering a similar setup. I don't really like the overhang. I have thought about a clamshell type like the Jervis, to avoid the overhang. I like the SanHima x hotham. Seems like it might be nice to use the truck slider to route from the cab.
345 mile of range divided by 131 KW of usable battery equals 2.63 miles per KW.
2.2 miles per KW multiplied by 131 KW of usable battery equals 288.2 miles of range.
When I was in Automatic backup mode and did the start button I never saw the green ring. So that is when I decided to go inside the truck and fire up the screen so I could see the screen. All I ever saw was preparing to provide power, and that the Charge Station pro had the green bar. I...
I had an outage last night. I tried the start button method. It did not work. I then started the truck and looked at the Intellegent backup screen. Saw that it was stuck Preparing to provide power. I then switched from Automatic to Manual start mode. The truck on 3 tries attempted to...
Well up here in the Northwest we had a power outage. Ford Intellegent Backup to the rescue?
Of course not. I was hoping with the 10.1.1 update that the communication issue would be solved. I tried the charger lock release and re-plug. System did not come up, it was stuck in preparing to...
I like my truck. It is a great ride. I feel silly when I criticize it.
I was hoping I get used to having a 5 1/2 ft bed with the Frunk. The truck still doesn;t fit in my garage. If it had a 6 1/2 foot bed I would likely sell my SuperDuty, which has the 8ft bed. My SuperDuty turns tighter...
Thank you for sharing this. I will try testing the system with this. When I have some time out of curiosity. Maybe there is a method to the madness. I have not been successful with the un-plug method that works for you.
I have tried all the tricks mentioned in this post and others. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. I think that the solutions often are red herrings. They work and we assume that we have fixed the issue. Only later at some point we find it isn't the solution. And Ford doesn't help us...
I appreciate the help that you offered me. Thank you. But my system is still unreliable. Ford has been telling me it is a known problem and they are going to release a OTA soon. Generally about a month to month and a half after I have contacted them.
I too worked on industrial automation in...
Try the old detach the 12VDC negative terminal for a bit and reconnect to reboot the system. It is the mystery repair for bugs with the Lightning. Sometimes it just has to forget to remember.
No way. The Frunk is what makes the Lightning good. It is more useful than that 5 1/2 foot bed.
I wouldn't give up the Frunk, but I would be willing to give up on some bed space. Especially if I could loose the extra battery capacity when I didn't need it. The Range fits my needs 99% of the...
Lots of other posts on this. You need to jiggle the steering wheel. It doesn't know that your hands are on the wheel by touch or having a hand on it. It needs a steering input either left or right. It is a torque sensor. It is a bit annoying since most people only give a steering input if...
