They could have sold more lightnings if they would have stuck to the original price and produced a lot more early on. I never believed and still don't believe that Ford was losing what they said they were on every lightning sold.
I keep hearing the word "AFFORDABLE", but even gasoline trucks aren't affordable anymore. Whats the auto industries fix for this? Stretching out the loans for longer....Not making vehicles cheaper. 30k ev's in a few years when you can't produce one now? Bullshit...Rolling back emission standards...
Well, I can't say that I didn't see this coming. Been a lightning owner since October of 22. Thinking back now, I'm kind of mad at myself for trading in my paid of 2016 3.5 ecoboost. Here's my outlook. We aren't there yet in charging, I'm not opposed to going back to gas, but what choices does...
I don't know.....I mean is CATL that much greater at making batteries as anyone else currently, or is it just because they seem to be advancing pretty fast? I'm genuinely asking.
How about in a situation where that OTA update comes with a BCM update, but if I did all of the other parts of the update VIA FDRS....So say the Frunk update come with it and I do it via FRDS, so that update never comes to me via OTA right?
I confirm that I agree to the testing requirements, including the timing and content of the review
As far as my expectations, it would be my first dashcam that I've owned for any vehicle.
My expectations would be for high quality video, minimal battery drain, just something to capture any kind...
I think the point that can be made here in this thread is that while something may show up as helping in a wind tunnel, that doesn't mean it will make a seeable difference out on the road. The wind tunnel is a controlled environment with wind flowing in a controlled way. Out of the wind tunnel...
I probably screwed myself because I updated everything back in July including the frunk update via FDRS. The only thing I couldn't update was the BCM. Been Crickets for me on OTA's since then.
There was a thread on here a couple of years ago about the aerodynamics. Here is another video on aerodynamics.
Here is some more insight from Ford on wind tunnel testing on a f150. You can see that they still use the channel on the lightning front.
Here is some wind tunnel testing on an...
What was your last update to the truck. This is what I was told on my 22 XLT ER when I did this. Everything worked fine as I had just updated everything via FDRS.
"The rest of the modules have to be up to date. The SOBDM a-c, PCM, BECM.
