  1. TheVerge: ‘I’m out’: Ford’s F-150 Lightning price hikes are costing it customers

    I test-drove the MY - It rides like a tank. Suspension needs lots of work before I'd be happy with it. Wife settled on the MME and it rides really nice compared to the MY but I really use the utility of the F150 so I'll likely be looking at the T3 when the dust settles. Until then will...
  2. Charge port cover options?

    You must not live in a winter climate. Freezing rain and ice is a serious problem with this design. I've had to use heat to melt it several time this past winter to get the charge port door to close.
  3. Rivian Adopting Tesla NACS Charging Standard Too!

    Yes, I hear you. I came on a bit later than you so probably my experience at first is similar to the challenges you are seeing and I've seen improvement in Ontario over the year. It was pretty bad a year ago with offline chargers and connection problems. I think the number of CCS vehicles...
  4. Rivian Adopting Tesla NACS Charging Standard Too!

    I'm a bit more optimistic. I believe the industry will move forward, standards will be created and barriers will be removed. NACS has momentum now with Ford/Rivian/GM getting on board. I expect that Ford Pass Plug and Charge will be a convenience on V3 initially, not a requirement going...
  5. Battery Bonus??

    Did you get the Mobile Charger with the truck? (earlier models shipped with it) If so, that will run 30 amps on a 14-50 and keep you out of trouble. Unless you pull in at midnight with less than 20-30% it will top it up overnight. 20%-->80% takes about 8 hours with the mobile charger. If not...
  6. Sync screen clock won't keep accurate time.

    This should be set to your network time if the automatic sync switch is on. First, Turn the automatic sync switch OFF, then back ON 30 seconds later (it may just be hung up on the switch state due to one of the updates and this should correct it). If your clock is off, it should reset...
  7. How to Set Charging Time So it Finishes at a set time

    If you set the departure time, it prioritizes charging for the departure time. My experience is that it doesn't delay charging to align with a full charge for your departure as others have confirmed, but can extend charging/preconditioning beyond your scheduled charge times if your departure...
  8. Thank you NE Lightning Owners Club and Tom Moloughney for a GREAT BBQ Meetup!

    I'd sign up. ER Lariat in Richmond Hill ON.
  9. Motor/road noise

    Any chance your 2nd truck has AT tires instead of AS tires? This will definitely cause a bit more road noise that you may not have heard on your first.
  10. Severe, Dangerous Phantom Braking Event Initiated by BlueCruise

    As per the OP, the owner did not have BlueCruise set to read the signs, hence the concern. If there had been a sign that it reacted to, then it is equally disturbing that it braked unexpectedly with no warning when that function is turned off I noticed last weekend there was a change to...
  11. STEERING WHEEL WEIGHTS FOR BLUE CRUISE ?

    I believe the cameras are depth cameras so a picture won't cut it. It views your eyes in 3D even through sunglasses.
  12. TSB/Safety Recall 23S30: Rear Light bar Replacement for 2022-23 F-150 Lightning

    I hope there aren't too many of those around in the first batch. Would suck to be a dealer with one of those sitting on the lot for another 5-6 months.
  13. P0B24 Hybrid Battery "A" Voltage Unstable

    Did they tell you why they are updating the Air Dam module? I have a vibration at highway speeds that seems to be related to airflow and I suspect it is the louvers in the lower grill. I'm wondering if the update is to solve something like that.
  14. P0B24 Hybrid Battery "A" Voltage Unstable

    Thanks for the clarification. I read it as a problem with a cable or temperature sensor on the truck so I'm a bit relieved.
  15. P0B24 Hybrid Battery "A" Voltage Unstable

    It was an Electrify Canada charger so probably the same as the EA chargers. I think I will need to get set up with a service call.
  16. P0B24 Hybrid Battery "A" Voltage Unstable

    Looks like your pack definitely has a problem. Your Charge Power limit is 5Kw which is pretty low. What OBD-II code reader did you use for that? Lots of interesting info on that page. I'd like to see what the Charge Power Limit parameter says when I'm plugged into a 350Kw DC charger and...
  17. How low do you let the battery go before charging?

    I keep my Lightning between 85% and 20%. I've pulled in a couple of times at 10% but don't like doing that. I charge to 100% on departure on a road trip by exception only (maybe once per month). Ford has 10% capacity built-in reserve so 100% on the meter is really only 90% of the battery...
  18. What bad can happen if a Lightning sits for 6 months.

    I doubt you would have any issue with it. While not ideal, it was only 6 months. Wiring is not open like it is in ICE - that said, rodents seem to find a way in infested locations. In an open lot, it is unlikely. I'm guessing this is on a dealer lot? If so, have them warranty against...
  19. 14-50 to ChargePoint Home Flex

    Please make sure your wire is capable to carry 48 amps continuously. Standard wire designed to support a 50 amp circuit for a 14-50 outlet is designed for continuous loads of 40 amps and may overheat if drawing 48 amps continuously (usually 6 AWG is used when wiring 14-50 outlets ). There are...
  20. How to adjust charge rate amp draw?

    I have this EVSE: https://ev-chargers.com/adjustable-charger/adjustable-current-ev-chargers/?attribute_pa_plug-type=nema-14-50&attribute_pa_current=6-8-12-24-32-40-amp&attribute_pa_length=32ft It was a bit more expensive than the Amproad (my 2nd choice) but was available with a longer cord for...
