  1. Ford Pass Has Worn My Patience Thin

    Thanks for the replies and suggestions. I actually had deleted all locations prior to no avail. Finally, I renamed my ā€œHomeā€ location with a different name, then tried to change the times in the trucks screen. No luck there, but I could finally change them in the phone app. We’ll see if she...
  2. Ford Pass Has Worn My Patience Thin

    I have had no issues since the latest update. Now, I plug my truck in, and I get charging faults. I have always had my truck set to charge from 10pm to 6am during the cheapest rates. Well, Friday night, I see my truck had a charging faults. I could not get it to charge, and was forced to go...
  3. Ford Will Begin Shipping The Lectron Vortex NACS to CCS1 Adapter To Its Customers

    Ford needs to get off their dead @$$ and remember that EVERYONE who bought a Lightning should be treated similarly regarding these adapters. I spent $500 on the mobile charger because Ford has a ā€œpackageā€ truck they build for their distribution centers for quick ship. They include a twist-lock...
  4. Veepeak BLE OBD

    Anyone else using the Veepeak OBD BLE Bluetooth OBD II Scanner? Better yet, any issues leaving it plugged in all the time? 12V Battery drain?
  5. Customizing Lariat Wheels

    Another photo from supplier.
  6. Customizing Lariat Wheels

    Right here. See kits on Etsy. I bought the decals for my last Lightning, but never got that far. May try them on this one. The decals come in a variety of colors.
  7. Why Doesn’t Ford Lock the EVSE Plug Like Rivian?

    My concern is for that impatient shi* for brains being a jerk unplugging me when I am charging, but ran into the store for a bathroom break and a soda. I agree with the rest. Full disclosure here, not a proud moment. The ports on our trucks are VERY robust. How do I know? Picture this...
  8. Why Doesn’t Ford Lock the EVSE Plug Like Rivian?

    I didn’t see any lock options in the center screen. Hmmmm. I’ll check again.
  9. Wait on Ford or buy Lectron Vortex Direct?

    Is there concerns the Tesla EVSE will sense it’s not an actual Tesla or Ford adapter and shut down or not work? I can’t imagine so, but I thought I read only Ford-supplied adapters woukd work.
  10. Why Doesn’t Ford Lock the EVSE Plug Like Rivian?

    Just thinking as I disconnected my Lightning from the charger at work so a fellow worker could charge a Rivian…. Why does the Rivian lock to the EVSE (8.5kW) plug to the vehicle, yet anyone can simply press the button on the plug if plugged into my Lightning, and run with the cord to their...
  11. Wait on Ford or buy Lectron Vortex Direct?

    Since it’s no secret who makes the Ford NACS adapter for Ford, and Ford is out of stock, is there any reason I should not buy one direct? My 2024 did not come with one, and I am without an adapter. Any reason to wait on Ford?
  12. Would You Buy A Lightning Again?

    At $100k, no GM would’ve won me over. I’m a peon.
  13. Would You Buy A Lightning Again?

    Thank you!
  14. Would You Buy A Lightning Again?

    Well, THANK YOU to all of you for the feedback and positive reinforcement! A 2024 Antimatter Blue Flash came home tonight, and a 2024 Avalanche Flash followed me home… my son bought one, too. We are both so excited. I realize what I’ve been missing since my 2022. I REALLY appreciate all of...
  15. First time charging at Tesla V4 Supercharger

    So, sorry for the intrusion and my ignorance, but I am looking at Tesla charging locations. They say ā€œTeslaā€ or ā€œTesla + No Teslaā€. Kind of unclear. Is the latter a charge station already adapted for charging a Lightning without an adapter, and a ā€œTeslaā€ location needs an adapter? Thanks for...
  16. Would You Buy A Lightning Again?

    Off on a tangent from my original posts, but hey, someone mentioned Ford’s ICE trucks… I’m not sold on the new 2024 F-150 ICE. My ā€˜23 is a software nightmare like my son’s ā€˜23, and both shift like crap. My sons has already done cam phasers, too. I’ve had over 30 ford pickups, He’s had four...
  17. Would You Buy A Lightning Again?

    I think my biggest concern is resale and batteries with high mileage in a short term. Really, if the truck fits my daily mileage needs today, it will in three years. The range will still be good. BUT, if the batteries start to degrade by 100,000 miles (for me at 3 years) who’s gonna want a...
  18. Ford Pro Charge Rates… Really.

    My barn load center is 100A. It is fed from my house 200A main load center through a 100A breaker. All installed by a certified electrician about 20 years ago. So, effectively, the barn is a sub-panel to my house. Can it deliver sustained 80A drawn from the house? I would think so, since it...
