  1. No cabin heat Fixed post #34

    My no heat problem is at dealer right now with no answer! Stay tuned!
  2. Range not what is advertised

    I have a lightning and a MME, and they both calculate strange max range numbers in cold weather, but the Lightning tends to be more “optimistic “. (I prefer to use the percentage of charge rather than range.) But for both vehicles (in cold weather) soon as you start driving, the remaining range...
  3. Buying a used 2023 F150

    I personally would pass on a SR, regardless of how good a deal it seems!
  4. No cabin heat Fixed post #34

    My exact scenario, some on forum say coolant pump. I will call dealer this morning. Bummer!
  5. No cabin heat Fixed post #34

    We shall see. I will call the dealer today!
  6. No cabin heat Fixed post #34

    I assume the heat is made from electric heater coil. There shouldn’t be any liquid involved.
  7. No cabin heat Fixed post #34

    Today my cabin heater suddenly stopped working. The blower works but only blows cold air. I read that there was a recall (cold solder joint, 7/23 - 8/23, it mine was built 9/23. Does anyone know anything about this?
  8. Front Bumper Peeling

    My rule when buying a new truck, is walk around it, make sure it is perfect. When you are satisfied, then give it a good hard kick that marks it! Now you can park it anywhere and not worry about someone putting the first mark on it.
  9. Front Bumper Peeling

    It’s a truck, if you use it as a truck, shit happens. I call that patina!
  10. Missing Bolts...SMH!

    I would just go to my 5 gallon bucket of automotive bolts, find the largest bolts in bucket that will fit the holes, find nuts. Install it. As tight as you can tighten it with a half inch ratchet will be good enough. This is not rocket science.
  11. Is there really a need to rotate tires if tread wear is symmetrical?

    I rotate my tires at around 20k miles, and front to back on a diagonal so they all rotate in the opposite direction. I have found that tires get a very slight scallop on tread which is the cause of noise, and by rotating them in the opposite direction, the scallop wears off (but will now scallop...
  12. SE Michigan FDRS

    I’m sorry, but what does FDRS and PSU stand for?
  13. 100K combined miles in my Lightning & Mach E

    My story is very similar except the 22 MME ER has 60k and the 23 Lightning ER has 35k. Both are doing great and the first expense will be MME tires. The big question is how far will they go before any large expense? But in the mean time we are saving thousands in fuel and maintenance cost. The...
  14. Best EVSE Setup for Two EVs on One Circuit?

    Well, when I bought our MME, I had a 100 amp sub panel installed in the garage and I then installed a charger in the middle of the side wall of the garage that could reach the car wether it were parked inside the garage or outside the garage. I also had a 220v plug installed at the sub panel so...
  15. New owner with an EVSE question

    I would think if they were supposed to be turned off when not in use there would be an on/off switch. I have 2 and they are on all the time.
  16. Brakes

    You are probably due for a tire rotation. Have your tires rotated and ask them to look at you brake wear at the same time. But most likely your brakes are at 80 percent. My MME has 60k on it and its brake wear is about 60 percent. My Lightning has 34k on it and brake wear is better than 50 percent.
  17. Where did all my range miles go?

    I typically have this problem where I may have 280 miles range indicated, It's cold, in mountains, and I'm driving at high speed. So, even though in theory I should have no problem making it to my 220 mile destination, and know the route, I select home and allow the Nav to calculate a route...
  18. 3 years/36,000 warranty end coming up fast, what ya gonna do?

    I inquired, did the math on 2 electric cars ( 22MME 60k miles and 23lightning 33k miles) and decided to roll the dice and do nothing. Between the fuel cost and Maintenance cost savings and the warrantee monthly cost in a year I will have enough saved to do the repair. But I’m gambling that both...
  19. Brakes are stuttering when wet (XLT 23)

    When I back my MME out of the garage and apply the brakes, it makes sounds like the pads are worn out and I'm grinding the rotors, though I know none of this is true. I attribute this to surface rust buildup due to the infrequent use of the actual brakes. I will definitely use the Neutral...
  20. Study reveals how quickly the battery degrades in EV’s

    My Lightning is at 32k and my MNE is at 60k. Both are operating fine, but how are you guys determining you vehicle’s SOH? I’m don’t know how to do this. When I charge, both vehicles typically top out at about 300 miles, but this is not SOH.
