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...
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 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?
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.
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
I’ve only just started poking around with it. It was around $60-70 I think so I figured what the heck, I’ll try this. To someone’s earlier question, this covers the F150 Lightning specifically because when you purchase, they ask for your VIN which indicates you have a BEV. So the manual is built...
I’ll check out these videos thanks. Do you know if someone were to tread deep water higher than these vents if that would cause water intrusion? Or are the vents one-way?
Also in the wheels fall off club. Every vehicle I’ve owned for 10-15 years. So I took a risk on new technology with this purchase and I’m hoping it lasts.
That might be the reason behind the change. Here's a picture of the late 2023 vent valves in the back of the battery pack. I do wonder if water intrusion is a concern with any of these vents but it seems they are one-way to relieve internal pressure.
So I decided to buy a service manual for the Lightning from factory-manuals.com and I'll say it's pretty comprehensive. They ask for your VIN and it's embedded in the file so I'm not at liberty to share any parts of it. However, when I was looking at the procedure to replace a high voltage...
was hoping I didn't have to replace it since that likely means waiting without an adapter. But my Ford adapter is allegedly arriving this month finally.
