Is there a way (Forscan) to disable that silly motion sensor for good... Thanks Ford for the option, but this is not something I need and I'm tired of setting the thing off when I leave passengers to run an errand.
I'm curious as to why you say this? Your home using MORE power and would pay off faster than a solar only charger payback that is momentary, not to mention most folks are working when the sun is out. So the system would be idle much of the time. Here is my house right now... Noon, 12kW of SUN...
You could do SOLAR to your house and enjoy a Zero $ power bill. This is the last year of the 30% tax credit. I did my house and just had my first bill. $15 for the meter charge and zero power used (Lightning and Tesla charged all month for free). I had $400-$450 power bills.
Plug & Charge is indeed on.
I don't recall having to do this the 1st time I charged. Yes could be my fault.... I think the App is horrible, but then again I am used to the Tesla App. So apples and oranges. I expected this to be like the Tesla where I just plug in and it starts charging. But I...
So my follow up question: Why didn't the electricify america charger just WORK when I plugged in. I see that is says it is IN-NETWORK. I had to do a payment method and all that crap seperately. Never did that before
You NAILED it.... Yes I am using the FORD OEM adapter.
So I looked up the charging location on the TESLA site. And it is for Tesla's Only. I went to the one that I know worked in Madras Oregon, And it has a different ICON and says "Adapter Required for All EV's"
vs this one that didn't work.
I've had my truck for a few months now and I prefer to be in the Sport Mode. But when I put it in Sport it only is there for the current driving session. I get a quick question the next time I drive but it usually goes away too fast for me to catch it. So my question is... Can I KEEP it in...
I normally charge at home... and I have a Tesla so I am familar with the charging format. I took my 2nd roadtrip and couldn't charge...
But let me back up, a few weeks ago, I used the Tesla supercharger network. 1st time.... no problem. 2nd time on the way back it wouldn't charge. ERROR I kept...
Agreed... 2024 Lightning and the worse mobile experience sync ever. Bluetooth drops my calls OFTEN. It's so annoying. Sometimes Carplay can't find my phone. Never had these issues with my 2020 Ranger, so I know Ford can make it work. Did they get a deal on defective chips?
I few things caused my delays... I bought out of state.... Oregon doesn't have the deals that Washington has, and to save thousands to drive 4 hours away is worth it. I did that with my 2020 Ranger as well. (I paid $63k for a NEW Lariat).
So I had to wait for my documents to be scanned into...
Purchased March 9th, and finally got my plates. Thanks to the DMV being overwhelmed with REAL-ID folks.
Drove all that time... no plates, no temp stickers, nothing. My truck didn't even have dealer advertisement plates on it. Just blank and 4k miles later I got my plates.
You can do the same thing for $6 if you buy a eWELINK relay. The app is great and even supports a camera (You know so you can open a GATE where you can't see it). I have a dozen or so of these great cheap devices. It also works with Alexa, So "Alexa let the Ford Lightning Out" Opens my garage door.
Ford could improve on the UI... The crazy part it's all there, and the CT doesn't have the birds eye view, not does their tailgate go up and down electrically, but silly things like side cameras (only work when pulling a trailer) and the lack of any camera recording. When my FREE connected...
Taking mine in on Wednesday... but gotta stay legal (35%). I wanted the sunroof tinted but starting reading all of the tint causes the sunroof to crack and decided to leave it alone. I don't think Ford tinted the Sunroof dark enough. I never have the shade open during the day.
Remote Start?? It's Electric :facepalm:
I want to remotely view camera's, have blinker cameras, maybe even YouTube on CarPlay when charging.
You guys know that Tesla's have no start button, no keys. You know all of that silly ICE stuff can go away.
Backhistory: I bought new wheels and tires for my 24 lightning (Lariat trim) (Bought it in March 2025) at my local Discount Tire. I spent a lot of time (spreadsheets) comparing the various wheel and tire combo's that I wanted. I did ION 143 wheels (28 lbs) and Ridge Grapplers tires for the look...
I realized this was a stupid question.... If fits... until you open the sunroof, then it's in the way.
BUT it fits on the dash.
It has a perfect view of the sky
Picture (Lots of reflection of the crap in my shop) looking down on the front windshield.
Which gets great results.
Looks...
