  1. Android auto without wireless?

    Yes Iirc on your phone go to Android Auto, enable developer mode (in AA), then there should be a setting for wired only.
  2. 30,000 mile service recommendations

    Musty smells from AC usage is very common. Never had it myself but across all the cars I have owned since the internet became prevalent musty smells from the HVAC are a regular discussion.
  3. What the coming F-150 Lightning EREV needs (per Motor Trend)

    "Battery" temp isn't the only temp to worry about. It could be limited due to the high voltage contactors, or some of the circuitry, or something else other than cell pouch temp.
  4. Wiper Blade Recommendations?

    It is a plastic, but that is like saying something is an engine, there are lots of different types. I have also used a clay bar which works the same. Great to have and cheap enough. As for scratches I have not noticed any. Now I don't do it daily, but I have done it a few dozen times and...
  5. Consumer reports: Lightning range is 50mi lower than EPA

    ...other than the fact they were right on the money...
  6. What the coming F-150 Lightning EREV needs (per Motor Trend)

    Because towing, and has need to tow, are different things. I have a Lightning, and a travel trailer, and doing any distance using my one and only truck that cost a lot of money is not feasible. CAN it do it? Yes. Would you want to? No. An hour of driving for an hour of charging is not...
  7. Wiper Blade Recommendations?

    Yep, clean glass. I use a magic eraser then coat with rainx.
  8. How often to charge to 100%?

    Yep, that's for AC charging and can be done on the truck or in the app
  9. Annoying keep hands on wheel message

    My pro does it as well and I dont have any of those options (LKA or BC). That said it takes nothing more than fingertip pressure to stop it
  10. Tire Size and Range

    Absolutely nothing can be said about the tires or wheel if using the GOM as the measuring device. Bottom line, you cannot compare using that number on the dash.
  11. Towing a U-Haul Enclosed 5x8 Trailer

    Your assumption is that you cant still do those things with Bluecruise. It isn't one or the other, its both. You are still very much in control of what happens, you just also have a system that is handling a lot of the minutia as well. . That seems to be a common thread here, that folks are...
  12. How often to charge to 100%?

    The owners manual recommends 90%. If you set a charge location you can set the charge limit for that location. That way you dont have to set a limit every time.
  13. Ford F-150 Lightning sales (April'26 Post #45)

    That refresh on the ICE f150 is part of the problem. The lightning was modeled after the previous style, so it was already behind. Plus it was hitting 5 years in already. As far as GM is concerned Ford was still behind on range and charging speed. I love they used regular truck design, but a...
  14. Ford F-150 Lightning sales (April'26 Post #45)

    Not that I disagree, but it was getting long in the tooth. Needed at least a mid cycle refresh and I have to imagine they needed to push hard on a full refresh to keep up with the GM offerings
  15. How often to charge to 100%?

    Sure, anything over 50%, well even lower than that truth be told but then you run into other issues. Point being, yes, they degrade faster the higher the charge level. 80% is worse than 70%, and 90% is even worse than 80%. So every SECOND at 100% is worse than 99%. But in practical use...
  16. How often to charge to 100%?

    Pretty sure its not "lost", its that the battery was mis-reporting the capacity before. I know when I charge to 100% charging slows dramatically at 99%, which indicates it isn't doing resistive power shedding but in fact tapering power delivery to only deliver energy to the low cells. Every...
  17. Traded my 2023 for a 2025

    No, you have it 100% backwards. Battery size, kwh, those ARE the actual numbers. That thing on the dash is a computer guess that has been PROVEN to be unreliable. It's a made up number, NOT actual. At the end of the day you have a battery that is 131kwh. If you get 2.0mi/kwh then THAT...
  18. Traded my 2023 for a 2025

    Until you get on the highway and drive as far as you can, you cant say this. The number on the dash has FROM THE BEGINNING been PROVEN to be unreliable. There is zero fundamental difference that would account for the range difference and we have never seen decreases in capacity from a small...
  19. Stuck in moderate snow

    Very surprised, mine is a beast in the snow. I would say tires
