  1. Max tow = range impact? Told by dealer...

    This is good to know because that's the configuration of this one. The 9.6kw pro power, and the AT tires. '24 flash trim Mind if I ask what your efficiency ratings are like for like freeway speeds of say 70mph (112kmh?). And what ATs did it come with? The one I test drove has the more base...
  2. Max tow = range impact? Told by dealer...

    Hi all Saga continues for me to actually get my hands on the lightning that I want... But in the meantime, I have had a couple dealers tell me that they've had customers complain that purchased the max tow package. They said that the extra cooling equipment in that uses up a bit of extra...
  3. Recommended BC Dealerships?

    Yea I talked to them, and found them to be a little slippery to deal with to be honest. I was talking to one sales guy who would ALWAYS respond to my emails with a completely new email, so tracking down what we were talking about, and making sure my questions were answered, was always tough...
  4. Erratic charging from 85% - 90%

    As noted, yes we tow already with our ID4. Our trailer is a tent trailer and with the ID4, it has a vertical bike rack off the back of it....aka a giant air brake. We can get about 180-200kms between chargers with that thing, while "clean" on the highway on a trip like this, we could get about...
  5. Recommended BC Dealerships?

    Hey all My local Ford dealers here on Vancouver Island are not making the purchase process very easy, so I am thinking to buy elsewhere. Anyone have any good recommendations for Ford dealerships in BC where you have had a good experience? Thanks T
  6. Winter/snow driving & one pedal mode

    Great thanks everyone. Didn't really play around with 1pd off when we had it, had too many other things to be testing out and considering... Cheers
  7. Winter/snow driving & one pedal mode

    Hey all To start, I do have an EV already, and with winter tires on we leave it in Regen mode all the time....but it's Regen is not a full one pedal driving as aggressive as the lightning's one pedal mode. Have any of you found any dicey moments from winter driving in snowy/icy conditions...
  8. Erratic charging from 85% - 90%

    They charged it to near full for me, I think it was at 99% when i got it. Glad to hear posting this that no one else had seen it before. These EV forums are pretty handy sometimes when dealers don't have answers
  9. Erratic charging from 85% - 90%

    Touché. Point is still valid I don't want panels touching and rubbing against each other.
  10. Erratic charging from 85% - 90%

    Yes. It's the only flash they have on the lot here, they have one XLT, one Flash, one Lariat. Looks like a couple body panel gap issues at the front fender too that I noticed that are a rust issue waiting to happen....the two panels are touching each other, which is a recipe for paint wear...
  11. Erratic charging from 85% - 90%

    Interesting your take on the Shell chargers...of course not doubting your experience, but in mine here in BC, I have actually found them to be quite reliable. I've used their 180kw stations about 5 times with my 2023 ID4, and each time they have delivered the max charge curve my vehicle can...
  12. Erratic charging from 85% - 90%

    Thanks Dean....we do have an EV crossover already and tow with it, so I agree it is awesome and that's why we're here now looking into this lightning. Very, very seldom would we need to DCFC to 90 or 95, but I still wanted to see what it looked like as there's still some stretches here where...
  13. Erratic charging from 85% - 90%

    Yes I expected it to behave like the graph from Tom Moloughney at State of Charge, so dropping rate is not the issue.....it is how wild the displayed charge was from 85-90 that has me concerned. Seeing a rate drop from the 50's to the 20's from 85 to 90% was expected, but bouncing all over the...
  14. Erratic charging from 85% - 90%

    Hello Have a '24 Flash trim in my driveway at the moment on a 2 day test from a local dealer, and I took it to a Shell 180kw fast charger to see how it does. I am not a lightning owner at the moment obviously, so if I am missing anything please keep that in mind that I can't find concrete info...
