No door code on my pro. This is the first time I’ve ever depended on FordPass and didn’t sneak a key in a pocket just in case. it’s also the first time FordPass failed to work. Entirely frustrating. No one at ford can unlock remotely. Going to be a couple hours waiting for roadside assistance...

I just locked my truck with the key inside via FordPass about an hour ago while biking. Trying to unlock with FordPass and it just won’t?? Am I missing something?

Great write-up, thanks for posting. Haven’t been there in ages, but you drove right by my hometown of Gig Harbor. Love that area, camping around there is heaven

You have YouTube??

Seems like small potatoes to me. If you want a lower price go somewhere else. Honestly, it sounds like they’ve been nothing but honest with you, and I’m having a really hard time understanding what the problem is, why you feel you’re entitled to a discount, and why you would take it to a...

Estimated mileage has nothing to do with actual. Driving habits, speed, wind, temp, and elevation do. A bad cell won't typically manifest as decreased estimated mileage- it will likely manifest first as rapidly changing estimated during a drive, less available power, or decreased battery charge...

I believe the answer on this is clear and unequivocal. The answer is, it depends. It's entirely dependent on the vehicle. On most vehicles, it's necessary to rotate on some type of schedule (which can vary wildly) to keep tire wear even. However, there are plenty of vehicles out there that...

I occasionally get some messages on my infotainment screen when shutting down, and starting my 2023 SR PRO. In addition to “f150 Lightning unblocked” when starting, I’ll also randomly receive “f150 Lightning saved” message when turning it off, as well as something about turning off to save the...

Just used that Ford supplied adapter for the first time a few minutes ago. Work seamlessly. The Tesla app worked perfectly, little pricey, but well worth it. Charge curve was great, went right up to about 155KWh, stayed there until I hit 50% then dropped to 109. I unplugged at that point...

True, however, think of your entire house as an extension cord from the breaker box. Assuming connections are tight, there’s no reason using large enough wiring won’t be an issue in the correct circumstances. As a general rule of thumb, I completely agree, you should not use an extension...

I get this message daily EDIT: Usually with “F-150 Lightning saved” or something like it as well.

I power an air-conditioned shed, almost every weekend, and at night, with my lightning. I’ve been doing this for about a year. At peak with the air conditioner and fridge, I’m pulling about 6KW. It requires absolutely nothing from me, other than activating the outlets once plugged in and...

In Florida, an accident with no injuries, exchanging insurance information is pretty standard. The police don’t need to be involved, as it’s a no fault state. If you wait for the police, all you’re doing is adding several hours to your day.

Once my truck received the update that shows battery % inside the battery meter on the dash, I disabled auto-updating, as well as a plethora of other auto-communication features. Theoretically next decent update rolls out, I hear about it 6 months after it was originally unsuccessfully pushed...

Anyone that’s owned a trouble free ev understands this. But many people simply can’t wraps their heads around just how superb the driving experience is in an EV, and won’t understand until they own one. Sort of a catch 22. But when the shift happens, it will happen suddenly. Then you’ll wish...

FAE:90036440 Est. ship by December 2024 Order Placed: 3/1/2024 it arrived three days ago

I’m a bit shocked, mine came in a couple days ago. No email alert, it just appeared. Side note- a little heavier and a little smaller than I thought it would be for some reason. Very pleasantly surprised.

My Lighting gives this warning on occasion- but not early as often as my other vehicles with lane centering. My wife’s Jag is the worst- its lane centering is wildly annoying- it goes off every 5-10 minutes (at minimum) during normal interstate travel. A 6 hour road trip I have to disable it...
