Until it didn't... Don't know what happened. I changed my target charge from 50% to 80% for a Fourth of July trip. Next thing I know, when my FCSP kicks off in my designated charging window, it's charging again at 80 amps instead of 48 amps as I'd like it to during the summer heat in my...

Astronomers think differently! :D

How much does your new toy weigh? And what does it feel like towing?

TLDR; In spite of all the below, while mucking around with the truck at 5 AM( :D) , I just got a successful update of ECG-24.2.4.9 after my initial truck-reported failure on 6/22/24. Time will tell if I still have a gateway module A software-level problem and DTC U019B:00 comes back. There...

A related article on Ford Authority about the development of the 2027 low-cost Ford EV. It quotes Farley as saying that Ford is betting the company on the Ford EV team: Jim Farley Says Company Betting Everything On Ford EV Team (fordauthority.com)

Thanks for all the good info, Mike. Here's hoping August is for real but as you so humorously point out, just like Lucy and Charlie Brown...

Hope Farley can successfully follow through on what he's quoted saying in an Electrek article: https://electrek.co/2024/07/01/ford-ceo-calls-out-americas-love-monster-vehicles/

Yeah, I bought the truck for its technology. Greeness was a secondary consideration. But I expected Ford and the American people to support more electrification, increasing charging station availability, etc. While having avoided American cars all my adult life after starting out with a 1974...

With me, I allowed in my previous post above that entering Battery Saver Mode might have something to do with the BMS not yet being replaced, but for me, the BMS is only a minor suspect. My OEM BMS has not been all over the place. It's been very consistent, my LVB SOC only dropping 5% to 10% a...

I presume it's another glitch in the new FordPass but I've noticed on several occasions in playing around with remote climate control and departure times (not sure which is the culprit) that the next time I start the truck in person in my garage, the driver's seat cooling will come on. For a...

I got to join the Battery Saver Mode club today, too! ? ? https://www.f150lightningforum.com/forum/threads/starting-to-get-lvb-12v-warnings.19631/post-400074

There are exceptions to every "rule," as mentioned in various other threads. Whether Car Scanner will drain your battery or not depends in good part on what OBDII dongle you have. I have an OBDLink MX+ dongle I leave in my truck all the time. According to OBDLink, when the truck is off, the...

Every version of the FordPass app I've installed through the iOS App Store and App Store offered updates.

Hitting the Update Now button just takes me to the App Store and after a few seconds to refresh the Update button in the App Store, that button changes to an OPEN button and shows the offered version is v5.02, which was available and installed by me two weeks ago. Opening the app, through the...

So I fired up FP v5.02 to "Send a Lock Command" and saw the following (I've checked for App Storre updates several times today and saw none. As of right now, the App Store on my iPhone says that there are none, including for FordPass. Go figure...:

Haven't checked all previous posts in this thread but it seems one thing that's changed with the new 5.x FordPass app is the ability to refresh your cloud data by pulling down and refreshing the FordPass app on your phone screen. My Ford.com dashboard says my LVB % SOC is only 47% (that was...

Speaking of going grocery shopping (https://www.f150lightningforum.com/forum/threads/ota-ecg-24-2-4-9-software-distribution-enhancement.19769/post-397663), when the wife and I came back to the truck in the store parking lot, and the truck was all fired up with its compressors roaring away to...

I almost got the update yesterday, as the wife and I were about to leave our driveway to go grocery shopping... Hmm... Seems like my SYNC screen might need a little TLC from a microfiber cloth... IRL, the dust and fingerprints aren't so obvious! A high-res camera focused on a plane resolves...

It would add to the interest if you had monitored what the % SOC of the LVB was doing while you were away. Presumably, it was dropping to 40% to 30% SOC before the BMS system recharged it periodically. If you sign in to your ford.com account and go to...

@TaxmanHog's trick of editing the Charge Station name in the FordPass app v5.02 worked for me. I was able to downrate the charging rate from 80 A to 48 A and get a flashing blue LED on my FCSP while charging that has an orange bar on the right end, indicating the device is operating at less...
