I have a '23 Lightning with a powered liftgate.
Behavior of concern:
I open the tailgate via my keyfob. I load my bed. I begin walking to the driver-side door and in the process of doing so, I use my keyfob to close my tailgate. 90% of the time, my tailgate will throw an error, beep at me (even...
While I respect the opinions of the folks here telling me my battery is fried, I am also not convinced that this issue is related to 12v battery health in all cases.
I did not mention that after I drove to the battery shop and they tested my battery (reporting that it was all good), on the way...
My local battery shop ("Edmonds") is receiving some batteries next week that are compatible with my Lightning.
Specifically, they have a 12v AGM. Runs $240 CAD though. Any Canadians that can comment on this?
My dealer is so frustrating to deal with when it comes to intermittent issues. I've taken videos of issues I have experienced with my truck. They do not care about the videos. Always telling me that they'll need the truck for some ridiculous length of time for a tech to observe the issue.

Update:
My local Ford dealer told me that to test my battery and assess my truck, they would need it in the shop for at least one full day and that I would be on the hook for the 12v battery test should this not be the source of the issue.
So I took my truck to a local battery shop and they...
I think you're right. Unfortunately, the DieHard H3 is difficult to source up in Canada. Is there an alternative one would suggest that is available in Canada?
I called my dealer who told me that they would need to replicate the problem in order to go through the steps to determine if it is a warrantable item. I explained that it is intermittent, but has been occurring on/off for months now.
When I explained the issue, as I did above, they seemed to...
Occasionally I'll start my truck and the beeps and dings all sound like they're run through a 1970s filter. They are more direct and basic sounding. It's difficult to explain what I am hearing (hence why I am asking here prior to going to my dealer to ask what's up).
Does anyone know why this...
Any American friend here able to let me use their address for the purpose of buying an extended warranty through Granger? I'm Canadian, so I'm otherwise out of luck!
Just to be clear, there was no intention in my OP to imply that Lightnings are more prone to fires than ICEs. There was no intention to suggest that Lightnings are more likely to catch fire than any other EVs.
As an owner, my only intention of posting this was to spark a discussion over the...
