I've been seeing more around Ankeny in the past few months. The Avalanche seems to be the most popular color. A black lightning was parked just a few vehicles away at DSM Airport a couple weeks ago.
Maybe we can plan a central Iowa Lightning meetup at some point?
100% why I have never taken my Lightning on a road trip but have been taking 'Teslacations' since 2015 when it was a little more difficult. In 2023 (now 2024) we just get in the car and go. We've had our Teslas to more than 30 states and now it more or less drives itself. Our 2023 Model S...
Much like @ScubaSteve_TheReal and @tkittlitz I received the 23b57 software update on Nov 6th. A few weeks of normal driving and then on 11/24 I got the orange ring of death, the truck would not longer charge, the service soon indicator was on and I had the powertrain malfunction/reduced power...
Hello,
Has anyone rotated their own tires? Since there is only one jacking point per corner on a Tesla, I bought some special stands https://jackpointjackstands.com/ that allow you to jack the car up on a plate that is designed to then set down on a special jack stand. The jack stand is too...
Any idea on how to go about getting that done? Ford sent me to the dealer who told me it wasn't a problem. I was contacted on here by @Ford Motor Company who submitted some sort of incident and haven't heard anything for weeks.
This is super frustratingā¦but not as frustrating as having the āoptionā removed. Every time my $80,000 (at least it wasnāt $90,000) truck has me freezing my hands and potentially other parts itās as if Jim Farley is whispering ācanāt wait for that Cybertruck can youā in my ear. This software...
We charge our Tesla at 40 amps (50 amp circuit breaker). We have a NEMA 14-50 outlet. The green end is a 50Amp extension cord with NEAM 14-50 connectors I bought to go from the outlet to the side of the garage the truck is on so I could use the mobile connector to charge until my electric...
I wish you could change the Ford to show wh/mile. After watching my Tesla's performance for years I have a good sense for how temperature, wind, rain, speed, etc. affect my energy consumption. I also am able to learn how good each version of the energy consumption algorithm is. It's made much...
Ford talks miles per kWh and Tesla talks kWh/mile. Our model S is rated at .34 kWh/mi, the semi at almost 6 times that of 1.7 kWh/mi. The lightning is rated at .48 kWh/mi.
Anyone else having issues with the mirrors not auto unfolding since getting the PAAK update? They'll do it most the time but occasionally fail. Hitting the button to unfold gets them to do it right away. My dealer couldn't find any codes related to this.
Is anyone else having issues with the mobile power cord constantly erroring out? I will charge for a few minutes and then the amber light comes on and the truck stops charging. Unplugging the cord from the wall and plugging back in typically fixes it but sometimes fault out again. I"ve used this...
@Ford Motor Company I hope you are paying attention here!! This is a badly needed safety feature. My 2018 Raptor had a hard button like this and I used it every time I pulled into a parking spot. My 2022 lightning requires 2 clicks on a touchscreen and a system that responds at a snails pace. We...
Thank you @RickLightning. This helps me a lot! I was thinking about it more like a Tesla or iPhone. This makes total sense. I appreciate you taking the time to share. I hope you get your truck soon.
