It sounds like you're still enjoying traveling, that's great. I do have enough solar that powers my home, so my electric bill is just for what my truck uses. Safe driving out there on the road.

I'm 73 retired, my traveling days are over. I purchased my lightning to use locally, and to save money on fuel, and maintenance required on ICE vehicles. My 2014 F150 that I traded in, only got 10 mpg & even less when I towed my trailer. I pay around $4 to drive my lightning 100 miles. This is...

I charge at hone at $.08/kwh, there's no way I'll even pay $.31/kwh let alone $.52/kwh and then charge at 32 kwh if you needed to charge from 20% to 80% would take just under 2 hours.

I agree $.52/kwh is ridiculous and it looks like the changing rate was 32 kwh. Good grief if you needed just 64 kwh used it would take 2 hours. I'd say Elon Musk is rubbing salt into non-tesla owners lack of charging stations. Oh well revamping their chargers had to have cost a pretty buck, I...

$.52/kwh No way would I ever pay that much to charge my lightning.

Even the ones like me won't be getting the entire $7500 off their taxes if they paid less than $7500 in taxes in 2022. I'll only be getting around $4000. Nobody will get any more back than what they paid in taxes.

You Can be pretty sure they didn't shut this down because of the 12 volt battery. The only problem I've seen with it is the OTA updates see the 12 volt battery low on charge and fails to update. The solution to that until ford fixes the problem is to set your max charge to 85% instead of the...

Thanks, good to know hopefully I'll get the other 2 shortly now. Looking forward to getting them.

How long was it after you got the 4.1.1 update that you got the 4.1.2 update? Looking forward to that one. I finally got my 4 1.1 yesterday.

I just got 4.1.1 I haven't got 4.1.2 or 4.1.3. 4.1.2 looks like they made some really nice improvements.

I just got my 4.1.1 yesterday, hopefully the 4.1.2 & 4.1.3 will come along too.

You can also just plug your truck in to charge. If it's already at set charge level you can say charge to 100%. Restart the update exit & lock the vehicle and your update should finish. After completed you can disconnect your charger.

Someone mentioned spraying the door gasket with wd-40 but I believe a thin coat of car wax on the gasket would probably work fine.

I haven't had mine freeze shut yet, but it's very difficult to open and close. I opened a chargeport door on a ford MachE the other day and they work great. I wish they would've used the same mechnism on the lightning.

I'm going through that now. I drove around 60 miles today, mainly on 55 mph highways achieving around 1.5 to 1.6 mpk. Returned home and charged to 80% and ended with 161 miles to empty. After some calculations, that came out to be pretty accurate. 80% of 131 = 104.8 kwh. Multiple that by 1.5 &...

You can also set your max charge in your Ford pass app under vehicle, charge settings, preferred charge locations, then click saved locations or preferred locations, select a location, set your max charge level & save it. These are suggestions, not opinions of your intelligence.

No problem, that's just one reason why your charging isn't stopping where you want it to.

You have to scroll down and save your new setting. Best to set it in sync. Settings then charge then set one time charge and save.

I mostly just use my heated seat and steering wheel but have to hit the max defrost button occasionally. My issue is when I hit it again my heat stays on with low fan, and I have to hit fan off everytime to turn the heat back off.

To each his own. I'm 73 retired. My traveling days are over. But certainly wouldn't pay the price public charge are. I bought my lightning to replace a 10 mpg 2014 F150 gas hog. Actually traded in my 2018 prius too because even averaging 54 mpg with it I get better mileage range with my...
