Interesting. I've found two chargers so far where my Lightning can't charge: a Sematech J1772 charger in a bank of 8 in a public parking garage - it threw some interesting diagnostics I don't know how to interpret, pic attached - and a Gen1 Tesla HPWC, set to 80A, which unlike my pair of Gen2s...

The hits keep coming. Latest observation: future charge times are shown with AM and PM swapped in the app (the vehicle gets it right on the onboard screen). Even when you're already charging - it'll claim a midnight session is going to complete at 3PM when in fact it will complete at 3AM. I...

Unfortunately, I have that set...for the only charger it'll let me save. Still can't save any more, same error every time as mentioned above and confirmed by others. The app's charging features are, speaking as someone who's spent 30 years working on a wide variety of both embedded and...

Was not aware the truck could charge when not plugged in.

Can't set max charge level for previously visited chargers in the app. It let me save one, but on all subsequent attempts it's hung for a long time, then said FordPass is unavailable, please try again later. On one occasion it said my car was asleep, please wake it by locking or unlocking...

I can do you one better (worse)? Mine got a minor scratch in transit which the dealer found while unloading, so it spent 5 days at the body shop after arrival at my dealer! This too shall pass.

It would be difficult to arrange with the mobile charge cord Ford offers (because they offer only 120V, 20A and 240V, 30A adapters), but, you could purchase a Gen1 or Gen2 Tesla UMC, a 240V, 15A adapter (these will limit current to 12A and hopefully avoid overloading your system), and a Jdapter...

What "regular setting"? One of the limitations I'm talking about here is the inability to have any setting other than 100% for a charger you're visiting for the first time. Why on earth shouldn't I be able to adjust the target for the current charge session? Because some product manager in...

Are you saying that, for you, one of those options is to change the target charge level? It is certainly not for me. For me, the first item in that screen is indeed target charge level, but clicking it does nothing. It cannot, so far as I can tell, be modified from anywhere in the app...

Where?

They get so many things so wrong - look at all the fancy suspension technology in the S and X and yet the Mach E and F150 ride and handle at least as well; even after just a few days, I vastly prefer BlueCruise to Autopilot, etc. - but Tesla gets the charging UI both in-car and in-app pretty...

I don't charge anywhere north of 80% if I don't need to. I don't understand why there ought to be a difference between a "new" L2 and an "old" L2 - why shouldn't I be able to set the target for the charge session that's going on right now, without having to mess around with the in-car screen to...

I think I've just gotten myself lost in the app. Is there really no way to change the target charge percentage for the current session? The only way I've found to do this is to unplug from the location and then save a location-specific preference when it appears in "previous locations". This...

I mean that from the point of view of the utility, the truck connected via the HIS is a battery about 5X the size of the largest single-family residential installation they ever see. Ford benefits from working with a partner with experience with the code, regulatory, and bureaucratic issues...

Yep. Mine had that too. What was more disturbing was that they also included a supplemental agreement that said I would perform or have performed additional work outside their scope according to a statement of work they wouldn't provide until I signed the main agreement. The rep said this...

I've been driving EVs for 7 years now and in my opinion this is objectively false. But some chargers _do_ frequently or almost always have issues. The size of the Lightning is going to exacerbate some of these. My thought was that we could use this thread not to nitpick whether someone...

Of course, though also of course nobody could contact them in any _timely_ way to be able to charge since their phone hold times were running to 30+ minutes. This is definitely one to avoid. Even if everything were working it's very tough to get a full size vehicle into any of the far too few...

1. Electrify America, Secaucus NJ Wal-Mart. Only 3 spaces for a total of 6 fast charge handles (5 CCS, 1 Chademo) and one L2. The rows in this parking lot are so tightly spaced, it is not possible to get an F150 into one of those 3 spaces straight-in - have to angle and block the adjacent L2...

I took delivery on the 17th. Turned on "Blue Oval Charge Network" yesterday; see only the default 250kWh everyone gets for doing so, not the 500 I should see. Of course it hasn't been a week since purchase yet, so, we'll see.

While I appreciate that it is possible to charge another EV from the outlet in the Lightning's bed - at the cost of taking 2x the AC/DC conversion losses of just charging either vehicle from grid AC directly - I am wondering whether the Lightning actually includes the software and hardware...
