That is exactly the type of solution I would love.
I have a heat pump that I believe the truck could run just fine (with a soft start kit), but its on a 60amp breaker due to the auxiliary heat coils. I can disable the heat coils in the settings, but there is no clean way to move the 60 amp...
iOS user here, and it still reverts back. I have to wait 30 seconds or more after powering on and manually select Sport Mode. Otherwise it reverts to normal.
I'm not sure if this is new, or I am just noticing it... It looks like you can now see pricing information and have the ability to activate most DCFC chargers from within the Ford Pass app.
EDIT: Survey says this feature already existed.
My brother's truck is in the shop, so he asked me to tow his RV to his camping spot. It is about 70 miles away, all 2 lane, lots of hills (foot hills of the Appalachian mountains). His RV is about 24 feet long and #4500. An easy tow and it made it with 57% battery left. It averaged about 60F...
My only regret or worries with Ford canceling the Lightning is that I cannot upgrade to the next gen in a few years. Now that weāve been spoiled, its tough to think of having to go with a smaller less serious truck or a Fridgidair on wheelsā¦
I only have 50 amp service going into my detached garage, where the EVSE is. So I have to charge at 40a. The most I have ever had to put in it at home is about 80KWh (from about 20% to 80%). It took about 10 hours at 40a.
I thought about upgrading the garage, but the truth is it wouldnāt...
Iāve been getting the battery saver mode a lot lately too. I often only drive a few miles throughout the week, using maybe 2-4% of the battery once or twice week (more on the weeknds). One thing I recently did to help mitigate the issue is to lower my charging current to extend the charging...
Unless the truck was undercoated in thermite like the hindenberg, I donāt think this was a LVB event. OP said they barely had time to gather a few items from the back seat before the truck was fully engulfed in flames. He also posted a pic of the truck in flames from tip to tail before the...

It used to be the case when CarPlay took over the whole screen, that āappā would take you back to the onboard OS. Looks like something different is going on here.
Sir, if you could use your AI correlation engine and packet capturing prowess to find and capture the CAN message sent to kick off charging pre-conditioning, you could very well be the hero of the internet for a few days.
I haven't had my truck a year yet, but I did look at my usage from my EVSE's perspective. I was surprised by December. (January is shaping up the same)
I work from home, and road trips aside, I drive 90% very locally. I'm getting about 1.8M/KWh in winter. In December I drove about 300 miles...
