Do people use the brakes that much? I stay in 1P and I’ll bet I touch my brakes once a month (normally after an update shuts 1p off). I’ve driven about 10 different evs this year and honestly think the one pedal and regen are better on the lightning than the others, although as mentioned by...

I've slid mine around a few times and was caught off guard the first time by how much Ford let's you get away with before the correction begins. On my 3.5 I would have to turn off traction control to get remotely sideways, the lighting let's me play more but when you ease off the throttle it...

Find a different dealer.... sounds like the "dealer discount" is just a way for them to keep more of the rebates for themselves.

in my experience its just not big enough to jump start other vehicles. I have successfully jumped 4 cylinder cars but my 4.6L Lincoln and 5.0 mustang are no goes. Have to use the jump box.

I could see an argument for any bc activated prior to the price drop being offered free bc as long as they are the owner. Wouldn’t cost ford anything but would at least let us who didn’t know the price was going to drop or that bc was going to be $800 a year feel some sort of appreciation for...

Ford can not turn off the back up alarm due to it being a legal requirement now. I work on Firetrucks and we just put painters tape over the speaker while being worked on in the shop, its still there but and it seems loud up close but from 15-20 feet is barely noticeable, might be a non...

Well i drove 200 miles this morning with heat at 66 and seat on 1. Stayed at 72-74 cruise set and got 1.4. On my daily 150 mile drive yesterday i got 1.8 at 65, winter sucks.

A few things about this that have been mentioned. 1) No precondition 2) Plat is 300 not 320 3) Everyone complains about range (as do i) but forget that the 300/320 is NOT at highway speed, at 65 mph I would assume a platinum would be closer to 250 and dropping to close to 200 by the time you...

I would think towing someone's vehicle out of the way is just asking for trouble. There's almost a 100% chance of being caught on camera and the you could damage their vehicle and likely be held liable. As much as i hate lazy people Icing ev chargers doing something like this would be no better...

Being a first week 23 build ive really stopped thinking about this as its very painful... In your case you should be in decent shape by the time the Flash is available. Im no expert but i would think about 50-60% of MSRP for trade (hopefully better but with all the price changes these things are...

If you go down the mountain backwards you can take the miles off your truck and not have to worry about regen, just keep it in D and give a little throttle when you think your going to fast. Should work out just fine.

At launch, they still plan on a cheaper model but are taking the Tesla approach and releasing the most expensive model and hoping people settle. Ford did this with how limited the pro was, if there was a $60,000 er pro I would’ve gotten that, lariat is great and I enjoy BC but would be more than...

I really liked the mach e i just couldnt handle the bending to drop in where i feel like i slide into the MY more naturally. Honestly i would look at about any $50k EV if it was comfortable. Im hopeful for a little quicker charging and more range on the t3 but other than that i love my truck.

I love my truck but if it got totaled I think i would buy a MY (mach e drivers seat is to low for me and i hit my head getting in)for my daily and then use whats left to buy a used xlt to keep for hauling and the little towing i do.

So today at work the first EV fire truck put into service in the US just happened to be in for some maintenance! I couldn't help but make sure I got a picture with my lightning. It does have a Diesel generator to extend range and water pump performance, the guys who demo the other units said...

If only but that wont fit the "EV BAD" narrative so they wont even pay attention. I tell people about the batteries being able to be recycled and they just come up with another excuse. Half my family complains about my truck and then turns around and talks about how we are going to run out of...

I charge to 90% every week day (well as close as i can get on my 24 amp charger). Once i have my 80 amp charger installed i may drop to 85% or even 80% during the summer. Right now im driving 145 miles in sub freezing temps most days, less than 80% and i most likely need to charge in route due...

Thanks for the info and link! The average speed is still only 48 mph on both the highway and high speed test, so i dont know how that translates to real world highway driving (typically longer ranges at a higher rate of speed). another thing i thought was interesting is using the .7 factor, how...

I drive about 150 miles a day at 65-70 and am using about 60% of my battery while getting 1.6 to 1.7 when at 50 degrees. When it is below 30 it drops to about 1.4-1.5. Id say your getting what is expected, epa is outdated and all of the tests are at 55 mph.

I got closer to 1.2 going 70 in -15 so I assume it’s mainly the no preconditions killing me
