Added mine to the list of replacements, in warranty by a month. 2023 Lariet ER @ 27,745 miles. Started getting the "Battery Saver" mode last month. Truck normally sits in garage for 2 weeks while I'm away. Typically find it at ~ 60-70% SOC. OTA updates get stuck, haven't seen one go thru...
I bot my second Lariat - a 2022 with 11.7k miles, also at half price, in April 2022. No regrets, it's been great on two long x-country trips it's got 34.7k miles on it now. It has the scales, latest version of BC nor the improved charging curve that my 2023 still doesn't have :crying:
DFW area is running average of 0.15/kwh. We have solar & battery backup & try to charge the Mach-e during middle of sunny days to absorb the solar output as selling back to the grid is practically free.
At my ranch hangar near Kerrville on CTEC Co-op the rate is 0.115/kwh but solar panels on...
Limiting to EV's & SemiEV's - first car tho was a 40hp 64 VW Bug & I did discover Drafting behind semi's which comes in handy again with the Lightning's sometimes on roadtrips:
2003 Honda Civic Hybrid - son drove it until the CV tranny went south at 176k miles.
2016 Ford Escape Hybrid - POS as...
Second thing on my startup checklist. Push Start button, grab seatbelt with left hand, and punch the OK button with the right. I too like the regen drag in Sport mode, kinda like an old standard tranny
I've got General Grabbers on both 2022 & 2023 ER Lariats. 27K miles on one and 35k miles on the other. They both look like they'll make 40k. The 2022 with 35k has been on a couple of 4k road trips, one hauling a trailer. I'm quite surprised by how well they're holding up, generally don't get...
The 2022 LER seems to have gotten all the updates out there over the last 10 months or so: BC 1.4, faster DCFC schedule and other bells & whistles. I've done the Glare-free, seatbelts, and all the Camera mods on Page 1, to both this truck and my 2023 LER. The 2023 LER hasn't gotten an OTA...
Got 10.3.0 back in Feb 2025:

Powertrain Software Updates
As a part of this update, you will notice:
• We’ve squashed some bugs that presented unnecessary warnings on your instrument panel
• Improved the electronic parking brake software for more consistent...
Well, just tried this on my 2022 LER and I get the ON/Off toggle, but it won't stay on. From what I can tell I should have the latest updates as it got BC 1.4 last month and several other updates mentioned by masses. My 7Do-10-04 was set to 4 & changed to C, only change I made.
Yours looks a bit better than my 2023 did after hitting a deer near Llano Tx. They wound up finding a lot more broken parts, including air conditioner condenser, frunk tub and both headlights, bumper twisted, but no sheet metal damage. $18k repair ! I'd be interested in a ranch bumper, but...
I reset the temp on my 2022 LER last week as I was enroute to the airport - changed from 74dF to 72dF and found the truck set at that temperature on arrival.
Would be interesting to see a filter cut open & pleats inspected for particulate matter, fluid condition etc. Would make an informed decision easier for the next maintenance interval.
Would think you have a record of charging the truck prior to the repair & possibly even at the shop during the repair. If it was working prior to the repair & not afterwards it would be logical to conclude the shop broke it. A shop with integrity would realize that, but then that might be...
Yes, in fact the Lightning will power our house (lights etc), as well as hangar, septic tank and well pump, just not at the same time. The startup on the well pump pretty well maxes out the 30 amp circuit in the truck bed. I can add back some light loads AFTER the pump is running. Controlling...
