The gentleman in the video is refrencing a thermal event. If it was just towed a mile or two, at low speed, there likely just wasn’t much heat generated. If he was towing at interstate speeds for hundreds of miles, it would be an issue. Based on my limited knowledge, there’s a very good...

I was under the impression the lighting had permanent magnet motors- which means there’s no way they can spin without charging… something. If the wheels are spinning, they’re creating a charge. If that charge isn’t going into the battery, there will almost certainly be some damage. I’m not an...

Impressive

My .00000002 cents. Reorientation at this point is a waste of money. What kind of damage? There’s no transmission- all I can think of is the spinning wheels would charge the battery- if it overcharges maybe some damage there. But you’re probably fine- it was likely not towed too far and the...

How in the world can u map it?

Gauges on most modern cars are not an accurate representation of the current temp status, although after reading a few replies perhaps the f150 lightning may buck that trend. Most modern temp gauges are nothing more than glorified idiot lights. The electronic t-stat accurately interprets the...

I’d love to hear details of your solar farm. I’m gathering info for my own- with the goal of energy and eventually water independence for our home. Storing that much energy to recharge the lighting is an impressive feat, imo.

Amen. I recall this trend started several years ago with several premium manufacturers (BMW or Lexus or MercedesIIRC). They wanted a subscription service fora platitude of features- from cruise control to heated seats, and everything in between. At the time, I remember praying that the US auto...

Very encouraging some vehicles are in the hands of owners. My estimates delivery date has been updated 12-2 to 12-15 I see advertised prices falling. I can’t complain about the deal I signed, but if for some unforeseen reason there’s another delay, it’s reassuring to know that there are...

That’s pretty amazing information. I just called my salesman, and all he could offer me was there’s been a delay. He guessed around two more weeks.

Seems very odd he didn’t realize he didn’t pay ANYTHING when he “ordered” the truck, even after the dealer brought it to his attention. I believe we’re getting one side of a story, and there’s certainly a different side that may sound quite different. Those Colorado subsidies are a fleecing of...

Thank you!!

I was able to place an order several months ago, and received a VIN (waiting for a PRO) Production was supposed to start two weeks ago. I just received an email stating that they’re sorry, have no idea when the truck will go into production, but have graciously promised to email again within 45...

After reading that, it’s hard to believe how little common sense this writer possesses . A single anecdotal 300 mile road trip worked, so naturally Ford longer needs the Tesla eco-system. There you have it.

Pardon my skeptism, but a 600 mile "road-trip" is a day of driving, two at most- with only one needed stop to charge.

Hello, After "reserving" a Lighting another lifetime ago ( $100 May 2021), I FINALLY received the green light from Ford that I could actually order a 2023 Lighting PRO. I just placed the order, and the dealer sent it to Ford. However, I just realized our garage is too crowded already, and my...
