I got into my Lightning this morning and it was singing this: First, I was afraid, I was petrified Kept thinking, I could never live, without you (FMC) by my side But then I spent so many nights thinking, how you did me wrong And I grew strong and I learned how to get along (The forum will be...

It is true that using the battery (taking power) when it is below zero is not as bad as charging at that temp (which cause lithium plating and permanent damage). But it is good to remember when you drive away your truck cold, every time you hit the brake, you are charging it. And with most...

I didn’t get to check the car scanner to see what the battery temp was before instantaneous heating of the HVB and after. But emporia said, it kicked in once last night for 1.9 kWh. we had around -15F` bellow zero last night. When we had a few degrees bellow zero, it didn't kick in. By the...

Those are driven by Pros that know what they are doing. Our Bus driver in Paris was flooring it through narrow streets I wouldn’t take a mini in. Here in U.S., I was rear ended at a red light by this lady who confused the gas pedal with the break. It turned out she was driving the husband’s...

I will start monitoring my battery temp. we just dipped bellow zero (32F ambient). My truck sits outside and I drive it daily so the battery temp may have not gone bellow freezing yet. Once I know at what battery temp heater kicks in and at what temp it stops and when I get a feel for how...

Have you ever checked the battery temp with the car scanner to see what that minimum is?

If that is the case, it must be doing it by engaging HVB regardless of being plugged in or not because I didn’t see anything going in from my chargers while plugged in. Has anyone seen this happening by monitoring OBD-II ?

On the topic of winter charging, I forgot what the verdict was on how low the temp has to be for plugging in to make sense, to keep the battery warm enough for longevity. We dipped just bellow freezing recently and I had it plugged in because I thought I read somewhere that threshold temp for...

some of them are not a big fan of our trucks:

asda I have to add that my tire slipped when I got that 4.8 sec time. If I lowered the pressure, I probably could improve it a bit. This guy did it from the stop in sport mode (I didn’t use sport mode): time stamp: 11:20

I saw Pro's on youtube doing 0-60 at 3.9 Sec when it came out. My best has been 4.86 Sec measured by Car Scanner. I assumed it was because of the added weight of my aluminum Sport Rack, steel runners and my junk in the frunk. I haven't punched it for a while so I am not sure what it is now...

‘It is kinda double whammy. Aluminum companies have started to have U.S. only surcharge due to tariff volatility. Rio Tinto Group is charging us more. Alcoa has diverted around 100,000 tonnes of Canadian aluminum away from the U.S. to other markets after the tariff hikes which makes supplies...

Lightning is my first EV and my First new car. I have purchased an Electric scooter since. Here is my transportation journey: My feet is my first and by far my favorite. The slower I go the more I experience. My tricycle is the one I enjoyed the most out of all transportations with wheels...

That is what he said. "Cylindrical header" (Min: 6)

This guy is saying the next gen Lightning/T3 is extended range because of the recent part issue:

I am right up there with you. Transitioning from electric trucks to electric wheelchairs will be smooth as butter. And our tail lights won't cost as much to replace.

I have a feeling Ford slapped together some parts to get Lightning out fast to protect its turf until they have the chance to design something better (T3, ….) using feedback they collect from Lightning. They may not want to push Lightning too much not knowing how much the recalls may cost them...

Being ready for outage is like taking an umbrella with you on a cloudy day. Umbrella ensures it will not rain. I had multi day outage in middle of a winter right before I got the lightning. Then I rewired a few things so that I could easily heat the house and power the router/fridge/…. With...

I am driving mine mostly granny style with rare moments of insanity. Charging has been very easy. My SOH has been going down linearly. 20K, 3 years at 97.5%.

Now that is the sign of maturity. I still don’t know what was exactly changed but I feel a lot better about it.
