Article posted to mysantonio.com: Ford Blue Cruise features center of NTSB crash investigation (mysanantonio.com) A Mach-E under BlueCruise control slammed into a Honda CRV sitting motionless on a road with all its lights out. The driver of the CRV was killed. There are obviously a lot as...

Not quite so for the State Farm Drive Safe & Save program, for which @rv7pilot has posted a screen capture image above. State Farm asks you to specify a principal driver for each vehicle. You're given a battery-powered Bluetooth beacon to put in each car. Whoever is the driver is supposed to...

In my Ford Protect policy under #7, Items Not Covered, it says the following under subitems s and t: s) All Wear Items are excluded except when LeaseCare is purchased; t) Batteries of all types and cables, brakes (front hub, drums, shoes, linings, disc rotors, pads), exhaust system (includes...

I got distracted by yard work I needed to do... If I'm damaging my truck, then the Lightning really isn't built "Ford Tough..." I'm 78 years old. In 10 months, I've put 2,500 miles on my truck. If I'm lucky enough to live 10 more years, that's less than 30K miles driven by the time I'm 88...

I think it's about the long-term wear and tear on the 12v battery, not its current SOC. If every time you get in and out of your truck, the mirrors unfold/refold, the driver's seat moves to its memorized position and back, the running boards go in and come out, you can draw a fair amount of...

I got the Max Tow Technology package as I'm in Texas. Last summer, we had ~114-> 116-degree highs most days in July and August. I figured if I'm climbing a steep hill on the Interstate at 70 mph, the dual compressors, one for the cabin, one for the batteries and the engines, would more easily...

The subject of "Why aren't we doing more with nuclear power?" has come up before on the forum: https://www.f150lightningforum.com/forum/threads/lightning-featured-in-latest-pbs-nova-documentary-chasing-carbon-zero.15320/post-314637 Shooting nuclear waste into the sun is an old idea. Besides...

We seem to have strayed a bit from the thread topic. Just to note, though, the U.S. has not yet gotten rid of the Manhattan Project's waste (the Yucca Mountain repository was deep-sixed). That waste was generated ~80 years ago, relatively soon (at the rate we're going) to be 100 years...

From mid-December 2023 through 2/6/24, I didn't get any updates that I know of. I still have the fall updates for my BDI inverter and my FCSP firmware: Ford Charge Station Pro firmware update: 2.112.91... mine now 2.112.91:2.149:1.32:1.53:0.62 Delta Inverter firmware update: 1.1.21 Mine (from...

I missed this thread when I was looking for somewhere to report how happy I am with "creeping" into my garage in 2 PD. You have to turn off AutoHold to creep in 2 PD. See the discussion around my post in the following 1 PD (vs. 2 PD) thread...

This AM, I received a phone call from a Ford rep who said I was on his list of problematic Home Integration Systems. He wanted to let me know that a major update is coming for the Home Integration System to patch up its issues (he didn't say when). And he seemed to want to know in...

Got the update with my LVB at ~77% SOC, and this was a shut-the-vehicle-down-and-exit update, too. I haven't had my Battery Sensor Monitor replaced yet - still on backorder at my dealer.

Theoretically, Ford could apply a little AI to your GPS data to let you know when it thinks your truck has been stolen... As our house is getting on in years, we decided to try a Moen FLO meter. Moen thought enough of the device to buy the startup company. It uses AI to learn your usual...

Amazon owns the Ring device company. Since the acquisition of Ring, the "intelligence" of image processing has been improved a lot, even for older Ring devices (one thing AI is particularly good at). You can set a Ring video device to alert you when it detects that a package has been left at...

Just for comparison, I asked the free version of Microsoft Copilot running in MS Edge about the location of the spare tire, as described in the 2023 Lightning Owner's Manual and got the following: and here's what Google's Gemini running in Google Chrome says when asked the same question:

Ignorance is showing here, but maybe the difference in Stolen Vehicle Reporting between 2024 trucks and the rest of us is that there's a way to defeat GPS location in earlier vehicles (turning off all Connectivity?), whereas for the 2024 trucks, maybe they still report their GPS location to Papa...

I only ordered mine at 3:42 PM today. I'm @ 24,402, with an estimated delivery date of July 2024. Since I have yet to DC fast charge, it's not crucial for me. Closer to 100% reliability for the Home Integration/FCSP/FordPass bit would excite me a lot more, e.g. a new version of the FordPass...

NVIDIA offers an intriguing AI Assistant to use with their (expensive) RTX 30.. and RTX 40.. GPUs, which can be used for machine learning and AI. The product is Chat With RTX: Build a Custom LLM with Chat With RTX | NVIDIA, The requirements to use this product are pretty demanding: The...

The 97% State of Battery Health is pretty amazing, too! Any tips on how you achieved that? Some folks with only 20K or 30K miles on their truck have already arrived at that SOH.
