My problem with the Ford Nav system has nothing to do with the chargers; my problem with the Ford Nav system is that the navigation sucks. Compare it with Waze, Apple Maps, Google Maps and other CarPlay apps and Ford Nav pales in comparison.
I'll stick with using a proper CarPlay nav app for...
It doesn't seem to allow both to be active at the same time now.
Exactly. When I got my 2022 Lariat in June of 2022, it did not allow both to be active at the same time. Later, it did allow them to both be active. But alas, now they cannot both be active.
I love Ford but Ford does NOT...
I assume the person making that comment ment for Ford to copy the functionality; the look and feel; the functional design. Maybe my assumption is incorrect.
As for CarPlay, I would not buy a car that does not support CarPlay.
The Ford Nav app SUCKS doing the function of navigation. So I don't use it. Instead, I use (what I think is) the best Nav app to use for navigation. And I use the Tesla app to find chargers.
Definitely put a charger at your home and at your vacation homes and at the place you frequently visit.
If one of your vacation homes is in a cold environment, note that the Lightning's range drops dramatically in cold weather.
Listen carefully to the advice from folks with trailers. I cannot...
Brian,
How about you create a spreadsheet listing all the items people have asked for AND which you sent to the product team. (Like "Dog Mode".) Then put beside each item a catagory as to whether or not that item is in the product plan. E.G.,
Dog Mode - Not in Product Plan.
Request B - In...
Here's the work around.
AC / Heat On: Be sure AC is set to “Auto” and to, say, 73 degrees.
Truck On: Leave the Truck Running.
Lights to Off: Turn the dial to the left until it’s “off”.
Close Mirrors: This is optional.
“Power Down” Timer Off: Turn Off the 30 minute “Vehicle Power Down Timer”...
If you do not turn off the "Power Down" timer, it'll shut of in 29 minutes. If you do shut off the Power Down timer, it'll keep going until the battery reaches the level that you set.
Agree it's not happening. The feckless lawyers at Ford probably killed it.
I too do not take my dog (a 89 lb Fox Red Lab) on errands. Except when I drive from Boston to our camp in Maine, I need to stop at a supermarket in Portland and buy groceries. I walk the dog (Louis; 4 years old last...
I agree on all counts. I was one of the first people to take delivery of a Lightning and one of the first things I requested of Ford is Dog Mode. I came up with the work around but it's NOT as good as Tesla (as you point out.)
I typed these instructions up in June 2022 when I took delivery. Use this all the time for my lab.
AC / Heat On: Be sure AC is set to “Auto” and to, say, 73 degrees.
Truck On: Leave the Truck Running.
Lights to Off: Turn the dial to the left until it’s “off”.
