We get a lot of snow here in the winter (I live near one of the snowiest cities in north America). We don’t get extreme cold (the lowest I have on my home record is -15 degrees F). For me, I think it’s a combination of a lot of experience with high-efficiency driving and high elevation...

You stated you stopped for breakfast after about an hour, so presumably you started before dawn, or at least early in the morning. So… It was probably colder than 50 degrees F, given that you’re in upstate NY in November. That lower temperature almost certainly cost some energy to warm up the...

I would use a seed heater or other thermostatically-controlled mat on the inside bottom of a box or old cooler. But I would power it from a small lithium power station that’s charged from the frunk outlet when the truck is on and runs the heater separately. This separates the truck’s batteries...

Wow! 147 kWh! Color me envious!

Planetary scientist who studies thermal systems here. Nuclear winter would do it too. :/

There are so many limitations to using the truck for automated battery backup that I would rather spend the $5-10k on a whole-home battery backup that’s always available. We currently have 24 kWh of backup and 14 kW of solar. We rarely use grid energy and often sell it back at the most expensive...

We’ve been to 10 states in our EVs, hoping for another 10+ next year, depending on various possibilities. Here’s an out-of-date map of our road trips. https://www.f150lightningforum.com/forum/threads/adventures-of-our-2023-carbonized-gray-metallic-lariat-lightning-er.19238/post-454475

It depends on which direction you go once you get to Flagstaff. Going east on the I-40 for 60 miles takes you to Winslow with both an EA charging station and a Flying J charge station. Soon there will be one at the Mobile on Meteor Crater Rd between Winslow and Flagstaff. There’s a 130 mile...

I’ve run exterior-grade 20A extension cords through the frunk front closure. It closes just fine and doesn’t leave a permanent mark on the extension nor do any damage to the frunk gasket. A small gauge trickle charge cable running out of the frunk would have no impact.

Well... The SCCM setting was at 2. Must have been reset in one of the attempts to reprogram it? I changed it to 4 and the DTC has, at least for the moment, not returned. Thanks!

Thanks. I have a meeting. Will try later this afternoon. Hope my subscription isn't ended.

I did that one a long time ago. I didn't notice the DTC back then.

I originally said, “No.” It failed. So I tried with, “Yes.” It also failed.

I didn’t change anything in the SCCM directly. I have not done the heated steering wheel (it came with it and that has always worked). I can’t think of any of the “shortcuts” in Forscan I used that would have changed anything. What’s currently on AsBuilt is identical to the configuration in the...

Payson’s EA station is a great hidden gem charging spot. It’s never been busy when I’ve used it when I want to avoid the chaos of the 17 going north from Tucson/Phoenix up to Flagstaff and beyond.

No go. The PMI fails. I’m worried I synced the truck’s configuration to the online database. I think I might have to find a ’23 Lariat ER AsBuilt that hasn’t been corrupted. I got complacent this time and didn’t make a record of the changes I made.

I updated all my modules, but the trail turn assist toggle still doesn't stay engaged. Bummer. I wonder if some other setting in the ABS module needs updating.

Question: After a bunch of updates, clearing codes, retesting, etc, I have one remaining orange DTC: SCCM configuration incompatible. The SCCM configuration is the same as the AsBuilt configuration. Any suggestions?

I finally got in. But I'm not sure I'll have time to update both vehicles. Still running the truck through... There are a lot of updates.

Yeah, I have all three versions downloaded (45.5.8, 45.6.8, and 46.5.4). 45.5.8 expects a code; 45.6.8 allows either a code or a subscription; 46.5.4 allows a code or subscription. None let me log in with my subscription (I did not get a code when I bought the subscription). Still no...
