FYI as it may apply... I have my full-size, limited function OEM spare 20-inch wheel + tire listed in the FOR SALE section. Those interested, check my listing and let me know. It's for sale because I got a regular 20-inch used wheel and a full-use tire that now lives in my spare wheel mount.

To add... as with any brand EV, when in doubt about remaining range under unusual conditions, the best option is to slow down as much as necessary to make it to the end point. Getting there later is much better than running dry. Unusual here means unexpected, worse than usual, unplanned factors...

Haha, yes this one ? takes a little physical effort but there's no harm or shame in a little sweat equity.

Just as an FYI: the front motor on my former Mach E went BLOOOEY at 47 thousand miles and about 17 months of ownership. Ford dealer replaced the front motor (shipping + repair) in five working days, and at a warrantied cost (billed to Ford Motor Co - I saw the warranty invoice) at just over...

A "shaky-shaker"? ;) I sense an opportunity here for the always-inventive aftermarket...

In my experience all over the country over the past 100+ K miles and three years while driving Ford EVs, the best (most reliable, most accurate) information about Tesla points was best available in the Tesla app. Things change and evolve all the time... perhaps my info is already out of date...

FWIW I always trust the company's charging station network app(s), in this case Tesla, for actual presence and compatibility and, sometimes, functioning or out-of-order status. BLUF: go to the source, whether Tesla, ChargePoint, Electrify America or all the other charging network apps, for...

I noticed the same on my 2023 XLT this month with the snow and the slush and cold rain. FWIW I agree with member Firn's diagnosis. If the brake rotors are made of iron as is very likely because of cast iron's good disc braking properties, that, combined with our truck's regenerative braking...

On my now-gone Mach E Mustang I had great success with Vredestein Wintrac Pros. However, last I checked Vredestein doesn't make them in sizes that will fit the Lightning :crying:

Just info: on my former Mach E and now on my Lightning, when on a long trip I have found that the blue map ring (on Ford NAV) is a far, far better predictor of remaining range, especially as the battery available power dwindles. The blue ring interactively predicts remaining range pretty...

I have the original Ford Tesla Supercharger adapter (order #1,751 for the Mach E) and now also the new Ford Lectron Tesla adapter for my Lightning (order #124,414) which just arrived about a week ago. On reading this thread, I went to the nearby Tesla Supercharger bank and tested the Lectron...

During this latest snowfall (wet snow, clumping fast last night, several inches) I have to again admit how impressed I am with our Lightning trucks. Shod with the middling-quality Hankook OEM tires and there I was, doing donuts in Chantilly VA business parks last night while picking someone up...

I use the very good Canadian universal EV charge port cover from: www.macapuche.com/english. Matter of fact, it's on my truck right now with the blizzard here. BTW, "ma capuche" in French means "my hood(ie)".

I think the only way to know is to test it, with a large / long flat-head screwdriver applying force on the locking face of the tailgate's side latch to push that locking lug down. Somewhere, many years ago, someone told me or showed me that such design for trucks was common because trucks back...

Ever since my 1990s BMW days, I liked the "orange snowflake" Frost Warning telltale and turned it on in my 2015 Fusion and in my 2022 Mach E. Unfortunately, although I turned this telltale's alphanumerics on via Forscan per Livinitup's spreadsheet (IPC), it hasn't worked so far on my 2023 XLT...

There is a seller on the internet who provides a surprisingly low-priced set of steel angled plates to bolt on inside the tailgate on the taillight inner surfaces, using the taillight screws. He also provides security screws with the kit. These angled thin steel plates prevent anyone from...

It's because Ford makes the (EV) car assume that all the cooling systems are failing because the connections inside the car get interrupted during some of the update processes so this is a safety feature.

I found that pushing the seat back shut with my hand in the center of the seatback cushion, just to the left of where the latch is on the backside, does the trick.
