Basically this stuff: https://a.co/d/ghqwUzx
Iām sure itāll work with whatever your preferred adhesive is, but the body panel tape works at both freezing and hot temperatures. Also can usually be removed after several years without too much of a mess In my experience.
This ^^^. I hadnāt really considered it previously, but there is a shocking amount of āwow the resale value of the EV is lower than MSRPā whereas thats taken as a given for ICE cars since its been happening forever. Total double standard.
Great note, i hadnāt even considered custom CarScanner cards. Iāll definitely look into that.
Not sure what route you take, but if you primarily do US 15, the Selinsgrove Supercharger is a game changer, and there is a new-ish station in Painted Post also. I think, if you can do superchargers...
For what its worth, i just made a ~350 mi trip south starting from Buffalo yesterday and made a pre-conditioning observation:
- Started the day @ 0F outside temp plugged into a destination charger with a departure time set. The truck had been @ 99% for several hours (but flipped to 100% after...
Iād suggest checking the triangular trim piece at the front of the window. I had this on the passenger side. Fix is to wrap edges with felt tape so that it doesnāt make a noise when it wiggles. See below video, i had success by only doing the trim edge felt taping, not all the steps but YMMV.
Based on the order numbers in this thread, seems like ford managed to send out roughly ~6,000 adapters so far in Dec.
Even if they up it to say 8,000 by the end of Dec, Iāll look forward to seeing my order 116,xxx being filled in like October 2025!
Doesnāt seem that hard for Ford to do some...
As many have noted on the forum, the Ford wireless phone charger is not good. I refer to mine as the āphone heaterā. So, not wanting to give up on wireless charging I installed a MagSafe puck (i think these are iPhone only so YMMV). I also did not want to install it somewhere on the dash or...

What seems to get consistently lost in these cost/mi discussions vs ICE F-150 is that comparing the lightning to an eco boost is not at all 1:1.
for 2024, the higher output eco boost makes at most 2/3 the power and torque of a lightning. The supercharged 5.2L Raptor is the closest competitor...
Did it remain after a reboot? Iāve had this once, 56% seems to be the number shown if the computer decides the front motor is unavailable for some reason. On/off cycle on the truck fixed mine. This seemed to be software update related in my case if i recall properly.
I was googling a bit the other day about whether there was any movement on regulations / hope that Ford would just turn on the glare free option at any point in the future. Turns out, the matrix light regulation was put out in ~Feb 2024 per the article below. In summary, Ford can never turn on...
Itās always best to update the due date AFTER you miss it @Ford Motor Company . Thatās definitely the strategy that causes the least frustration for the customer in every industry.
What EVās really need are a pitot tube so they can understand indicated airspeed. That way the GOM can account for both windowed elevation changes AND airspeed.
Doesnāt Rivian have a live updating plot showing instant mi/kwh and windowed average? +1 for getting that In the lightning.
Glad to hear someone else has this auto parking brake behavior. Mine only ever engages automatically on essentially flat ground. Inclines, it does not and i bounce off the parking pall (usually while attempting to have it hit the pall gently by using the brake pedal).
so the consensus is that...
Unless the suspension design intent wasnāt achieved, there shouldnāt be any difference in radial forces experienced by the various shaft line bearings from friction or motor braking.
The CV joints and differentials however are another matter. My guess though would be the extra torsion along...
Picking up this old thread, but Iāve got the same squeak in the same spot on my 23 LER. Canāt hear when driving, only when washing the car!
seems like there was a batch of parts at the edge of a tolerance range.
Sounds like full health to me!
Will be interesting to see what the resale values start doing once there is data to show these are really 500k-1M mile trucks despite all the āreplace the batteryā hype
