Wait I got my math wrong. It looks like my stock tires (275/60/20) and the winter tires (275/70/18) are effectively the same height. Sorry for the dumb post here.

I tried searching various places but couldn’t find a definite answer unless I missed it. I’m looking to install 275/70/18 winter tires which are 34in compared to the stock 33in tires. I’d be using the same 11in width (Lariat) on the winters. Any issue with this? I know I’d also need to use...

Great review I can’t believe I read the whole thing lol. But it was really well written so thanks for that. After reading through it I’m still happy with the LER I have, but faster charging and another 80-100mi of range would be really nice. I’m certain the next gen Lightning will have faster DC...

So you’re telling me there’s a chance!

Meanwhile, everyone leasing their truck is like “100% baby!”

If the truck falls apart around the battery pack in 15 years you at least have something like the equivalent of 10 tesla powerwalls to repurpose for home use perhaps. Then again, by that time we’re all supposed to have flying cars so who knows what battery tech awaits in the next decade.

Yeah you’re prob right. But at the time I was it felt like I had discovered something amazing and was like ..

Yeah it’s probably not just the reduced power that’s increasing efficiency then. But I agree we should have some kind of eco mode or, like how an iPhone has a “low power” mode. I just don’t know enough about what’s happening electronically when the truck is at 96% or 91% when the temps and SOC...

It’s been cold in MA where I live (around 30F) and my battery SOC has hovered around 50% the past couple days due to a lot of driving. I noticed the power dial on the left dipped to 96% which is expected. But what I also noticed is that my efficiency seems slightly better as a result. Before...

My previous hatchback would fit under that snow pile.

I still only have level 1 home charging at the moment (can’t precondition with level 1) and I park outside. Temps in the low 30s F and I’m seeing about the same efficiency around 1.8 but I keep my cabin heat a little cooler around 70F. Average commute speed around 60mph. In the first part of my...

I use BC in stop in go all the time on 95 south/north in MA and it generally works. However there is one flaw you must be careful with. It’s the kind of stop and go where everyone picks up speed again (50mph+) and then traffic comes to a complete standstill abruptly down the road. With your...

Mine is still showing in the app. Did they say if it’s a 2022 pullback or all years? I have a 2023.

I’m also wondering how to change the sound. I think it’s referred to as the pedestrian warning sound. A few different sound options on the screen would be nice.

Maybe some bright orange paint or glow in the dark paint on that button.

Maybe someday someone will have invented a single wall mount EVSE that doubles as a bidirectional feed. Power goes in, power goes out. Perhaps in 2030?

With all these sensor failures etc how does someone swap to tow mirrors on this truck?

Yes this happens to me about once a month for reasons described above. When the truck can’t detect my phone very well I close the app on my phone and re open it. This usually helps. Especially just after an OTA software update on the truck.

Today I learned that the ring can also light up in green.

When compared to what’s involved with an ICE vehicle it’s still pretty amazing to see how essentially just this pack and the two motors make this truck drive. https://www.thedrive.com/tech/40676/electric-ford-f-150-lightnings-battery-weighs-over-1800-pounds-by-itself
