After 23k miles and 11 months of owning my 23 Lightning XLT ER I have yet to figure out the purpose of the red pull tab near where a hood release normally would be. I have pulled it and nothing happened. Does anyone know?

You might want to also get a level 2 Tesla to generic Ev adapter. Many hotels have free Tesla level 2 chargers, but you need an adapter and the Level 3 adapter won’t work.

I routed a string through the latch and pulled the string up to the top of the seat back. Works fine spent nothing.

I had (am having) the exact scenario and have chosen to ignore the wrench for now! I keep looking for a simple diagnostic tool that I can use to do some diagnostics, but so far haven’t found anything. Usually, the wrench goes away a day later! The closest dealer is 30 mile’s away. The one time...

Yea, I bought a 23 XLT ER off the lot and I felt so . . . . let down when I realized it didn't have a garage door opener. It has a power tailgate and frunk, but no garage door opener. Does this make any sense? I assumed a garage door opener was so so basic.

The other thing is going to be service. If all vehicles were EV, their service bays would be empty. My MME at 50k has never been back to a dealer, and my Lightning at 20k Will hopefully be same! my goal is 200k, 2 sets of tires and 1 set of brake pads! But the other side is when they do brake...

On my recent trip from York Pa to Providence Town Ma, I opened Plug share on my laptop, used it’s filter to Select only class 3 chargers of specific providers, and then printed out the entire route. I had Tesla chargers on a separate print. It gave me the capability to just glance at the...

The very first time I used my A2Z adapter I kept getting faults (I don’t remember the messages) and after several attempts, I finally figured out that the problem was that the Tesla cable end was not fully locked into the adapter. The thumb latch on the adapter had to be fully locked. Once I...

The problem is there is so much negative publicity that it is hard to figure out what reality is. I own a 22 MME with 48k miles and a 23 Lightning with 19k miles with very little issues. But even when I was at the dealer the guy asked me how my tire wear was. I am having great tire wear...

You are mostly correct, it must have been my phone that allowed me to start the Mach E when I forgot the key, but for the Lightning, my phone will unlock the doors and turn on the accessories, but the Lightning will not start. Message saying Key not detected appears! While the Mustang will...

My phone is always on my hip, but start without key would only be enabled if I click Climate, which I did not do. I will continue investing. You taught me a lot. Thanks! I need to take a course in FordPass!?

You are so right about Climate. That name is so misleading. It does allow the car to start! Amazing! However, that does not explain how the truck Key can start the Mustang. Because if truck key is inside Mustang, the Mustang will start, if truck key is outside the Mustang the Mustang will not...

Today I drove the Mach E to the drug store and while in the store I suddenly realized I didn't have the Mach E key in my pocket, but I did have my Lightning key in my pocket. I assumed the Mach E key must be somewhere in the car. I went out to the Mach E and pressed the button and the car...

I just smile and say "You are going to own one some day and you are going to like it."

Wow, this story is identical to my story, I even have a white E Mustang and Blue/Black Lightning. The only difference is, my first power outage was only for about 6 hours. I also questioned why I had to have the truck fully on and also had to disconnect the ground to get the truck to prevent the...

Well, I own a 2022 MME er with 45K and a 2023 Lightning er with 15K on it and I charge both of them to 100% every time. At any given moment, I need to jump in and drive 200 plus miles without putting much thought into it, so I need the 300 mile range available, otherwise the vehicle is useless...

I installed a 100 amp sub panel in the garage and added a Nema 14-50 plug right beside the panel just to have it. I since got a second electric car and had to use the plug for a couple months till the second charger was installed.
