So my 2022 was totally dead as a doornail this morning at a hotel where it was plugged in to a Tesla destination charger using the adapter from Lectron. I had gotten a charge fault error during the night, but did not bother to go down and unplug it. Could that have somehow drained my 12 V...

Anyone else finding their Charge Station Pro cutting off a charge session at 94% when set to 100% ? this just started happening to me, when trying to charge to full the night before a trip. I wake up at 6am to find CSP stopped charging during the night, at 94%. When I hit the”Charge to 100%”...

Is there an Option to turn off the power tailgate ? Looking to see about Disabling the button on the key fob and the dashboard, so that the tailgate isn’t accidentally opened, ( in my case to avoid the tailgate from banging into a trailer hitch mounted bike rack).

Any tips on how to easily turn off the reverse sensors when you’re backing up with a bike rack mounted at the tail hitch? The truck brakes and stops me from backing up, thinking I’m going to hit something/someone. I’ve tried using the tow status , picking a trailer to get the truck to relax...

so the airport parking lot valet probably thought they were doing me a solid by plugging in my Lightning after I dropped it off this morning…. despite me asking them specifically not to charge it…. so to my Surprise the Ford app just alerted me to having achieved a 100% charge. And I won’t...

Forecast this weekend calls for temps to hit -23 F with a high of -2 F …… 150 miles from home to the next EA charging station…… Extended range Lariat may have met its match ? Leaning towards leaving it plugged in at home and taking the wife’s Mazda ICE to be safe. my 10 year old son wants...

new to the EV world, and 8 months into my Lightning- and still trying to learn the ropes of public charging. With limited slots at a free destination row of chargers, it seems A full battery EV with no ICE would be more in need of a charger than a Hybrid that has a gas up option. I am noticing...

Ford if you are reading this please consider the problems we are having with the Charge Port Door latch mechanism Freezing in cold weather on a regular basis. this is a safety issue if we cannot charge the Truck and get stuck in the wilderness or wherever. using a hairdryer both looks...

If you get to a hotel that has free Tesla chargers out front for guests, and the signs read: “Tesla Vehicle Charging Only” Does that mean it’s bad etiquette to park a Lightning there and charge up (using an adapter) ? I know there’s sensitivity around Tesla chargers , but would this sort of...

While range may be an issue, At the risk of stating the obvious, This truck is amazing at towing. Just pulled a 5,000 lb boat and trailer through the rolling hills of northwest Connecticut, and the lightning was a dream to drive with that weight behind it. Up some very steep grades, and around...

Found myself having to stop in unexpectedly to an EA charging station at WalMart today, to get a boost to reach home, and barely fit the lightning into the space. Shoe-horning an 80k Truck into this awkward space without an inch to spare was a high anxiety feat I won’t soon want to repeat...

“My EV driving” log stopped working in the Ford Pass app, in the “Charging” section where the charging log is kept. Any trick to getting it working again ? It has worked fine since delivery 2 months ago, but recently it’s recording maybe 1 out of 10 trips, which isn’t mission critical...

Is it possible that charging at home is not the cheapest way to go for those of us that live in states with high Electricity rates? If you can get charges for 31 cents/kw at EA, for example, Or free at many other public places ( or Nissan dealers!), Vs paying 25 cents/kw at home in CT on top of...

Had to park my Lightning at my brother’s house for a few days, and left him the keys. He had some fun taking the curious neighbors out for “launch” rides to feel the G forces of the newest technology. They were blown away, and consensus was that this is the only way to go from here on...

Wondering if I should settle for a 60amp installation of the FCSP to save some money, or bite the bullet and pay more for the full 80amps ? the electrician thinks the 60amps will serve me fine. He sort of thinks the 80amp is overkill for the truck and not worth the extra material and labor...

Just charged up to 100% to prep for a road-trip to Maine, and was surprised to see 330 miles reading as estimate for range. (At delivery last month the dealer had it at 100% and it read 306 miles. ) Does Ford tweak the battery range through over the air updates, if they’ve found some...

Well it’s been a scorcher of a summer so the AC deserves some blame….. but opening up my first electric bill since taking delivery of my Lightning was a bit “shocking “🤣! and I don’t even have the Charge Station Pro yet. So this is all off the Stove plug, and the standard wall outlet...

I poked around but couldn’t find any answer to this question in the threads: what adapter is needed to match the home charger that comes in the frunk, with the outlet of a stove 240v ? PITA but I have to find some bridge until the Charge Station Pro arrives….

Is $9,400 Sunrun Home Integration System worthless if you sell your truck? or can it be re-purposed? Not that I intend on getting rid of the truck, but as my electrician put it, if you spend the $ for HIS "you are marrying yourself to Ford if you do this". But is any part of the system able...
