  1. Proposed Federal EV road fee - draft legislation in the House.

    Hate to say it, but it's tolls. It's based on actual use.
  2. Tips for carrying 20 pound propane tanks in the bed?

    Agree. I do this. And a bungee attaches to the crate much easier.
  3. How are we holding up?

    24 Lariat. 31k miles. Charge at home 99 percent of time. I haven't and don't care to check SOH yet as my mental gyrations and calculations say it's doing fine. I have an OBD device picked out for telemetry purposes just need to pull trigger. I've had only recall stuff/fixes and a new...
  4. Mercedes Patents New Tech In Its Quest For Solid-State Batteries

    When this eventually becomes main stream production and hits the airwaves, what do you think EV naysayers will do? Will they be willing to convert at last?
  5. Before You Schedule an Appointment for the Recall 25C69 (IPM) Fix -- make sure your dealer has the actual software update needed

    24 Lariat. Just had 25C69 completed yesterday. That and a few other items were done in half a day. The ticket says the 25C69 recall needed updates to: SOBDMC, SOBDMB, SOBDM, PCM, ABS and BECM software verification. I haven't looked (yet) to see what all of these actually are. My dealer...
  6. General Public reactions to our trucks? {⛔️NO POLITICS}

    I see some Eversource workers near me driving Lightnings.
  7. Ford Lightning's ATT hotspot is very reliable, even in Winter across Newfoundland Canada.

    Thank you. I recently let my Premium Connectivity free trial lapse to see what I would not have as had difficulty getting clarity on what it is and what it provided. It did say I'd lose Alexa but I can still issue questions to it. I heard nothing else about capability loss as expiration...
  8. Heat pump in extreme cold -20F

    I have a thermometer inserted into the vent on my 24 Lariat that I've used in my last 3 vehicles. Yesterday I drove in -4F temps for about 30 mins and my 24 Lariat had heat coming out of the vents around 140F. My heat was set on manual operation (I'm not a fan at all of any Auto climate...
  9. BlueCruise Usage Skyrockets 88%

    Seems to me the increase in usage is from free trials. I could be wrong there. My short term free trial ended yesterday. I won't subscribe at current prices. It's not worth it to me. It should be included in the purchase of an expensive truck.
  10. New Lightning Name

    Call it "Extinct" ?
  11. Answers to "When does my LVB get charged" (with graph)

    I must have forgotten the 2 remote starts. But, my goal was to keep the SOC as high as possible. Isn't that better than letting Ford letting it get lower before the HVB starts charging?
  12. Answers to "When does my LVB get charged" (with graph)

    Thanks for sharing. You have some very interesting data views in this. Given the LVB loses some state of charge while sitting over the course of a week or more, why not just start climate for 15 minutes in the middle of that week so the HVB will top up the LVB? And it would have hardly any...
  13. ODDITY: Bunch of errors/alerts - later, FordPass says to ignore = no history???

    Kind of like Apollo 11 landing when the computer was overloading during moon decent. CAPCOM said to the Eagle crew "Roger, we copy. We're go on that alarm"
  14. 2D Sound on Startup

    I'm pretty sure it was things beyond my seat belt too. I just never spent time to examine everything. I think my 12V is fine still and I'm chalking it up to a Ford quirk. If I feel the need I will just do a restart to resolve it.
  15. 2D Sound on Startup

    Same for me 99% of the time. Thinking about it more I don't recall if I only had the accessory mode on or the truck fully on when it happened to me after sitting in it. If it was accessory mode and my 12v is on the edge of weakness maybe that triggered 2d sounds after operating for several...
  16. 2D Sound on Startup

    I have a 24 ER Lariat. I've had it happen ONLY if I sat in the driver's seat too long before starting the truck. And I think I've had the door open sometimes. I learned after the first couple of times to turn the truck off and start it again and it would return to the more robust sounds right...
  17. Sticking turn signal stalk

    Left turn on my 24 Lariat sticks sometimes (automatic shutoff doesn't always work). Thought it was me not pushing it all the way. I now have to pay attention to it. I guess I feel better knowing that it's not me? I guess I will call dealer for a warranty fix. And while I'm at it get...
