Interesting article. Little does he know with just a couple of engineers in the back room at HDQ, he could eliminate some of the need in the shop. Work harder on that SW in the lab and Just get it pushed out.
Also a sad bit of truth about education and training (or maybe laziness) in...
I found myself in stop and go traffic on a road that is mapped for Blue Cruise. I hadn't used it in a few months so why not. About 30 seconds after engaging the song changed. The gremlins in our universe sent me a message.
Looking at 3D printers – no hurry, will probably buy on Black Friday. Anyone care to share pros and cons? The rotary shifter thread has a lot of good advice and everyone seems to like their brand printer. Mayber there aren’t many differences.
The Bambu A1 has come highly recommended, however...
Clore PL6100 on Amazon for $349 today. I just paid $429 a month back. It doesn't show to be a sale price or part of Prime Days, but it does come from the same seller - JB Tools. If you've been holding out, this may be your day. Only 2 left in stock.
Once every two to three years I drag out the old gas power washer. It's the last gas item I have. Most electric PW's don't have the power and I have no need to just toss something that still works relatively well. It sits outside 365 days a year. The pump and engine still work well.
The...
I made some Forscan changes to my truck this week. When I fired it up I had a fair number of DTC's that had previously been set, so I cleared them. However I've got one that won't clear, U2100 for the Front Hatch. U2100 is "Initial Config not complete", so it is a bit interesting. Any...
When using the app to remote start / turn on the AC, do we know if there is any control from the app (iPhone in this case) other than a signal to say 'start' and the truck then decides what to start - heat or AC?
The problem / question is it is over 80 degres in TX these days and I've used...
@Discount Tire - Looks like you don't come to or support the forum any longer, so you likely won't care, but I've not a bad taste for you today. You can work 20 + years to keep me happy, but lose me in a day. There is competition and I'm happy to support them.
The story - Over the years I...
WTH Ford you're stressing me out. What do you want me to do? Turn it off ? Or Turn it on? Or Off? Or On? You've not leaving me many options !
Haven't driven the truck for 4 days. Anytime it sits for at least 2 days I know the systems will be totally shut down and I always get the...
I recently upgraded my home network equipment to Ubiquiti. Digging through data I find that the truck connects twice to my home network. Once from Ford and once from Sync. They each have their own MAC address. I only expected one.
I've never activated the ATT Wifi connection in the...
Just a wild crazy thought I had in my head. Wondering if there is anything that might put stress on or change on the battery usage that might get the voltage out of whack and cause a need for a battery module replacement. Does voltage even work this way? I have no idea.
Did you or had you...
Nope - sorry, not on the Lightning yet, but this is what we like to see coming.
Just installed on a Mach-E today. Updates to improve SW install AND remote start now remembers and uses the most recent driving profile so that your truck doesn't remote start into the Guest profile.
FORD is...
I'm making some assumptions, but I figure our headlights in the Lightning are very similar to the Tesla (or any) Matrix headlights. Tesla is about to release SW that will enable the full use of the matrix headlights on all of US cars that have the hardware (the equivalent of the Glare Free in...
Surprised these haven't been shown yet. Lifted from FB, Christopher Bowe posted them. Screen shots from a Flash at a dealer.
Pro Power On board - switch to leave on while truck is off and some nice updates to the charging screen. It doesn't indicate we can control the charging amps, but...
Gaining access to the Superchargers and commitment to move to NACS I also predict Ford will move the charging port to the back drivers side. I'm kind of surprised they didn't make that move for the '24's, but I guess they will save it and do it all at once. If they don't for the Lightning I...
I'm ready to embark getting set up to use the truck for power backup to the house. With no good option for a whole panel neutral switch I'm going with the panel lockout and a generator plug. Two questions I'm looking for some feedback / insight on. A note - my electrical panel is on the wall...
I'm surprised someone hasn't been here to throw Tesla under the bus again about another "recall" - so here it is https://www.fastcompany.com/91022964/teslas-cars-just-got-recalled-over-a-font
Recalling most all Teslas on the road due the font size of warnings displayed on the screen...
With the Tesla charger access coming soon, I'm curious to know from the users of the Blue Oval charging network, what your experience is like today. I know that if you have a failure or it doesn't pay correctly or start the charger it may not be Ford's fault, it could be a charger fault, but...
@TaxmanHog - @Administrator - I think I just saw this here and on the Mach E forum. Received an alert for a thread that says a thread was created 7 minutes ago. The thread shows it was created over a day ago.
Maybe a small fluke?
