I inquired, did the math on 2 electric cars ( 22MME 60k miles and 23lightning 33k miles) and decided to roll the dice and do nothing. Between the fuel cost and Maintenance cost savings and the warrantee monthly cost in a year I will have enough saved to do the repair. But I’m gambling that both...

When I back my MME out of the garage and apply the brakes, it makes sounds like the pads are worn out and I'm grinding the rotors, though I know none of this is true. I attribute this to surface rust buildup due to the infrequent use of the actual brakes. I will definitely use the Neutral...

My Lightning is at 32k and my MNE is at 60k. Both are operating fine, but how are you guys determining you vehicle’s SOH? I’m don’t know how to do this. When I charge, both vehicles typically top out at about 300 miles, but this is not SOH.

Thanks for the advice! I did watch a video on how to remove and install the charge port door (if I ever get a replacement!).

My wife clipped my Lightning backing up while it was charging and nocked the plastic cove off the charging port door. I snapped it back on but then she did it again. So finally it just fell off and was lost. I tried to order the cover but had to order the entire assembly. But then got informed...

Assuming you got the portable Ford 110/220 charger with the vehicle, have the electrician run the wire for the FCSP but install a 220 plug, and start charging. When the FCSP fiasco is resolved, switch out the 220 plug for the FCSP.

Being that you are charging via 110vac, I would be charging beyond 80 percent, because charging is so time consuming. I have 2 electric cars and I charge them too 100 percent every time (especially in the winter). Otherwise, they are useless to me. Our MME now has 60k miles on it and the...

How about, you buy it and I will trade you even for my 23XLT ER with 32k miles on it. I will even swap wheels and tires! Actually, I am a risk taker, and I would have loved to have had a (potential) deal like that, assuming the price was right and it had a full warranty starting on day one...

Thanks for the additional information. Your story is exactly what I worry about, but that said my 22 MME at 60k and my 23 Lightning at 32k have been flawless. My hope for you is that you gain confidence in your Lightning and drive it with reckless abandon as I do! In a year my MME will be out of...

This post is to Piquette. Tell me more about your 2 cell replacement experience. What was the mileage on truck at time. What told you there was something wrong, what were symptoms, was it all under warranty, how long was the truck out of commission?

You are one brave dude! I am typically pretty brave, but I have an ER so that helps a lot!

From my 2 and a half years of owning 2 electric cars (22MME 60k miles and 23 Lightning 31k miles) I have found tremendous fuel savings if I charge at home, but for retail purchased charging the savings is minor. If I had to do all retail charging, I probably would not own EVs. The MME’s EPA...

What everyone said is great advice. For a lot of precipitation, you could cover the charger with a trash bag. Pick an optimum location for the plug. You could also run a heavier gauge wire in case you want to upgrade to a higher current charger some day.

well, I see: Premium Connectivity (not activated) Blue Oval Charging Network (Active) Alexa Built-in expires 11/15/26 Connected Built-in Nav expires 11/15/26 So, does the Nav go completely dead? The Blue Oval Charging Network has no expiration date (just says active). What does that mean? I...

You are so right, but an ER would be a little help. The NAV just doesn’t take terrain into consideration. But I the driver who does know the terrain is free to override the NAV because we really are in control ( NAV doesn’t consider that the next 100 miles is primarily down or up hill).

Welcome from York Pa. I have had my 23 XLT ER for 16 months and have racked up 30k miles. I’m all smiles!

Wow, once you get a Tesla adapter you will feel like you died and went to heaven! It’s just that your charging options will double and if the EA chargers are full, no problem, there is a Tesla super charger around the corner.

I bought an A2Z adabter a few years ago. Used it several times, then got my Ford adapter. I got the email from A2Z about the recall, followed the instructions and eventually received the replacement a couple months ago. But there was no return instructions for the old A2Z adapter so I’m just...

Most importantly, make sure Ford pass is set up with your credit card info before you leave. Then, test it first chance you get so you know it will work when you really need it. Down load Electrify America, ABRP, and Plug share Aps. Try to borrow a Tesla adapter if possible. Dow load Tesla Ap...

Well, I had a generator plug and a simple main safety added, but when I connected the truck 220v to the house, the truck GFI tripped. After much internet searching, I finally disconnected the ground wire at the generator plug and it all works! I’m sure someone will be rolling their eyes at my...
