Got to have a brief visit with my truck today. Had to swap loaners... Now driving a brand new XLT Powerboost... and grab a few things out of the frunk, which proved interesting since it was up on a hoist with the tech off of the day. Fortunately, the service advisor was able to find us a step...

So, not getting it back this week. Apparently, the dealership doesn't have enough of the thermal paste to put my truck back together and can't get it until Monday. Service advisor tells me the tech told him yesterday that he'd only being doing testing today. Guess he forgot to update the advisor...

Crud, didn't think to check Amazon first... had to pay shipping direct from Dongar. Oh well, it's only $5.

30% off for Black Friday, too

Timeline is pretty close to what mine should be... assuming they get it reassembled and tested today. I drove for a few days with the warning since I could still charge to 66% and had places I needed to be. Did get a Bronco Sport as my loaner... it's ok, but nowhere near the creature comforts...

2029!? How the heck did you get your trial out that far? I'm good until August 2026 after they gave me an additional free year as they were rolling out BC 1.4

First EV experience. Jumped in as soon as the Lightning was announced. Took delivery early since someone else opted out of their order. Been absolutely perfect, until 2 weeks ago when a cell went bad. Waiting for the truck to get back to me... hopefully today.

overnight rates are 16.1 cents in the summer, 15 cents in the winter

Got one of those and a Hallmark ornament version, too.

Parts are in... dealership says they're hoping to have it completed by the end of next week. Should know more on Tuesday according to the advisor. Fingers crossed

My experience wasn't yours... I had a couple incidents of ice/freezing rain that froze my charger door open. That's when I bought one of these type of shields so I didn't have to defrost with a heat gun or hairdryer before driving off. At the time my truck was sitting exposed to the southwest...

Dunno, looks more like a Bronco Sport to me... maybe it's a disguised prototype.

I picked up something similar on Amazon a few years ago. Got me through 2 winters where I had to park outside, but now that I have dedicated space in the barn with my charger hanging on the wall, no more winter shield. Worked well, but wasn't 100%, especially when the weather came from the SW...

Pretty much the same here (end of Aug 2022 delivery), but I did opt to have a spare sitting in the barn for a month or so before the weather started getting colder. Once I had my HVB faults crop up, I went ahead and swapped the 12v, just to be sure. Load testing on the old battery showed it as...

Seems ok, but definitely hear the road noise more than in the Lightning. Thought it must have AT tires but nope. Only drove it the 25 minutes back from the dealer today. We'll see how it feels over the next week or 2 or however long this ends up taking.

Was completely clouded out on day 1 last week. Did go out on day 2 and get some shots. Was mostly shooting from the edge of the road and wouldn't have had a good spot to put the truck between me and the aurora, anyway, and if the truck hadn't been in the shop having its battery modules...

I realize that in the grand scheme of things the cost of coolant is a drop in the bucket, but it seems wrong that owners are having to buy their own because the system wasn't purged of air sufficiently by the tech at the dealership.

Update... Day 6 Module still has no ETA on arrival at the dealer. Parts says it looks like it has shipped, but no confirmation on that. Picked up a loaner (Bronco Sport with ~350 miles) today since they didn't have one available before the weekend.

I don't tow often and it's just my utility trailer when I do, rarely charge away from home, charging at 48a at home (up from 24a for the first 30 months)... battery fault at 42k miles, 39 months.
