  1. In Production Solid State Battery Tech? Potential for Aftermarket Lightning Pack upgrades?!

    Yeah, I watched the video. Their first partner company is an electric motorcycle company, but they've also partnered with an EV startup that has a skateboard platform prototype already in the works. I'll be interested to see what they come up with. It does seem like 800V architecture is more...
  2. In Production Solid State Battery Tech? Potential for Aftermarket Lightning Pack upgrades?!

    So I stumbled accross this video tonight and I figured it was worth sharing. I'm arguably more skeptical than most and still am of the mindset of "I'll believe it when I see it.", but if this is legit, this gives me a lot of hope for the future aftermarket upgradeability of our trucks and how...
  3. Weird Charging Issue -- Possibly after module replacement

    I'm assuming you've tried a 12V reset? (Disconnecting the negative terminal of the 12V battery for at least 5 minutes and then reconnecting) Give it a try, you've got nothing to lose. I've never needed a module replaced (knock on wood) but I've suffered a deep discharge event where two...
  4. Cross-Country teardrop camper road trip 2025!! (PA-WA) (VIDEO COMING SOON!)

    NEW VIDEO!! Due to serious health issues and life getting in the way, the long anticipated conclusion to my summer road trip was impossibly delayed. My apologies!! But better late than never, it's finally here! Follow along as I make it the rest of the way from Indiana all the way to...
  5. Power distribution screen- just rear motor showing power

    Try a 12V reset. 1. With the truck shut off, disconnect the negative battery terminal and leave it disconnected for at least 5 minutes. 2. Then reconnect and start the truck. Some settings may need to be readjusted, but if it was a minor software glitch it should be fixed.
  6. Connecting IPod Classic to Truck?

    Depending on what gen your iPod is, the procedure varies, but you can put the iPod into disk mode just using the click wheel/buttons. If it's a 5th, 5.5, 6th or 7th gen (iPod Video or iPod Classic), you can put it into disc mode by shutting it off and then pressing and holding the center select...
  7. Peeling paint

    My 22 Lariat is also Ice Silver Blue Metallic, and as of yet I haven't experienced any issues other than a few small rock chips on the front end.
  8. All the little things going wrong are building up!

    That's definitely abnormal behavior. I'd try a 12V reset and if that doesn't fix it, definitely take it to the dealer.
  9. Embarrassed

    But in all seriousness, this has to be bait or a joke, right? Right?!?
  10. Embarrassed

    This morning on my way to work, I was stopped at a light and a Rivian pulled up next to me. He looked over and had a stupid grin on his face. Normally I am proud to drive the Mercury Marauder, but the truth be told, I felt a little wave of embarrassment flood over me. Like I was driving a flop...
  11. VIN number for the last RED Platinum Lightning (1FT6W7L78SWG30746)

    I really hope he gets back to you on that, it'd really be cool knowing which truck was the final truck. It's too bad it didn't get a send off like the final Crown Vic did in 2011.
  12. VIN number for the last RED Platinum Lightning (1FT6W7L78SWG30746)

    Oh wow, that's way later than I was expecting!
  13. VIN number for the last RED Platinum Lightning (1FT6W7L78SWG30746)

    Good info. So would this be a candidate for one of the last built? Is it the last built?
  14. VIN number for the last RED Platinum Lightning (1FT6W7L78SWG30746)

    No I was seriously asking a question, though, is this a truck that has actual pictures or is it just a placeholder listing for a truck that will never be built?
  15. POLL: trade your frunk for a generator?

    Thats what I was saying, that transmission tunnel housing space is not insignificant. There's definitely space there for an engine. Now what size engine, I'm not sure.
  16. VIN number for the last RED Platinum Lightning (1FT6W7L78SWG30746)

    Actual truck for sale or just a placeholder silhouette page?
  17. Someone upgraded a SR to an ER.

    Oh man you're actually pulling it now? It needs to be centrally supported with a platform jack. You don't want any asymmetrical force on the fastners.
  18. VIN number for the last RED Platinum Lightning (1FT6W7L78SWG30746)

    Just visited Smail Ford, the truck is still there! I talked with a salesman, he was saying they got the truck about a month ago. Got a picture of the production sticker on the window and the door jamb sticker:
  19. Someone upgraded a SR to an ER.

    Ahh see, it's been a while since I've studied the exact battery removal documentation, well that's even better lol
  20. Someone upgraded a SR to an ER.

    This is something I've said from the beginning and one of the reasons I planned on keeping my Lightning long term from day one. It's a body-on-frame design with a battery pack that's held in with 18 or 19 bolts and it just drops out. Almost no other EV on the market has a battery that's so...
