  1. Ouch!! First Electric Bill since getting the Lightning….yikes!

    849 miles of charge would have been $60 at my current electricity rate.
  2. Ouch!! First Electric Bill since getting the Lightning….yikes!

    Without knowing how many miles you put on your truck there is no way to say if this is high low or anywhere in between.
  3. Well that didn't take long... "Powertrain Malfunction / Reduce Power" issue message

    I had three of those before my roadside failure. Check the battery terminals and make sure they are tight. They are saying that’s what caused my issue.
  4. Lightning range fail

    Just a cheap harbor freight tester.
  5. Lightning range fail

    Dealer just called. Said they had a engineer from Ford who came out and they supposedly have it fixed. Said the negative cable in the 12 volt battery was loose. I guess I’ll have to drive it real low again to make sure.
  6. Lightning range fail

    This is interesting. It thought it was plugged in the whole time from when it died on the side of the road till probably when they started charging it again.
  7. Lightning range fail

    I see they moved it to a Chevy dealership. I’m guessing so it can charge a little faster. They were on a AC basic charger at the dealership and now it’s DC charging. If they didn’t have to charge up the 12 volt battery to get it to start do you think that rules it out? Or would it charge it up...
  8. Lightning range fail

    I have a load tester for batteries so I can check the 12-volt battery to make sure it has the correct voltage and amp load.
  9. Lightning range fail

    Well I see it is currently charging at the dealership. It's up to 13% and 34 miles in the 56 minutes it's been charging. I think they should be able to try to diagnose it sometime today.
  10. Lightning range fail

    Whatever they figure out I will post it here. I have a 2015 F150 and it is the same. When the batery gets low it will not even try to crank. But nothing else works either. I WILL post what the problem is if they figure it out. I don't have any faith in Ken Garff in Fort Collins. Feel free to...
  11. Lightning range fail

    You know I was running down the interstate when this all happened. Had been driving all day. then the last 35 miles of range just dropped down to 12 in about 6 miles. Any 12-volt battery that causes your ICE car to die is a pretty drained battery. Once the car dies you would never be able to use...
  12. Lightning range fail

    They haven't even charged it yet. It's still sitting on 5% and zero miles as of this morning.
  13. Lightning range fail

    There is actually a panel you remove that has a jump start point right up on the passenger side in the frunk. no need to empty the frunk to get to the battery. Just take that cover off.
  14. Lightning range fail

    The 12-volt systems were working fine. The headlights were very bright. the Frunk would function at the same speed. The radio worked. Nothing points to the 12-volt battery being low.
  15. Lightning range fail

    I think that was the MachE guy who said he had the same problem, and it was the LVB. This happened over a week ago and they still haven't replaced his battery?
  16. Lightning range fail

    I topped of In Ogalala NE. The next charging station on my trip was in Cheyenne WY. A 1 station 25 KW charger that according to the reviews on the app may or may not even be working. So, the truck said it would make it to Wellington Colorado to a fast charger. I'm guessing most everyone else...
  17. Lightning range fail

    Yesterday the app said it went into a deep sleep with 5% battery and zero range. Today it is showing zero percent battery.
  18. Lightning range fail

    Did you trust that if the car told you it could make it to a charging station it would? I had the range to make it with 5 miles to spare. I had just drove 420 miles at 80 MPH. The truck knew what milage I was getting. It's not like I changed driving style. Actually, I did. I slowed down to 55...
  19. Lightning range fail

    I just don't think it could possibly be the 12 volt battery. The lights were all still very bright. The frunk would still open and close. All the accessories inside came on just fine. And the issue happened while running down the interstate at the end of a 450 mile drive on Sunday. I am not sure...
  20. Lightning range fail

    Well it sat at the dealership overnight and even with me calling to tell them to charge the truck up it is still sitting there with a dead battery. That has to be good for it.
