  1. NY Thruway charging stations

    2022 Lariat LR owner. Use thruway charging regularly from Syracuse to Kingston. Never a wait to charge. However, regularly find inoperative units. Can also find some charge stations right off Thruway eg at Denny’s in Herkimer NY. Get Breaky too.
  2. Will you renew BlueCruise?

    No, will not renew BC for many of reasons stated. “Value” not in balance with cost.
  3. Any suggestions - taillight repair

    Went through this tail light nightmare also. Ended up paying $2300 at dealership to replace. Explored eBay and other options to no avail. Sorry.
  4. Haven't received my Tesla adapter

    I ordered in March. Talked to Ford Support on Friday. Told delays in shipments due to first batch being faulty and had to be scrapped. Was told should get my adapter by year end.
  5. Most USA dealers don't like selling EVs

    Agree Grumpy2. Sales enthusiasm for EV’ will drive future service revenues. Update to number of parts in EV vs non EV for Lightning is 10k for former and 25k for latter
  6. Most USA dealers don't like selling EVs

    Wonder how senior dealership managers think about selling ICE vs. non ICE over time horizon given approximately 4k less parts…equals significantly reduced service and parts revenue? Long term business model must change radically to sustain profitability

  9. 2022 Lightning Running Boards/Side Step

    I nicked my driver side running board with my snowblower and dealer said need to replace whole side at $715. However, when you look at where the nick took place its at the back end where it looks like a separate part just needs replacing not the entire step? Can anyone confirm if I can just...
  10. BlueCruise UI

    Yes Willebrew, when I contacted Ford they told me to make sure WiFi is connected to get downloads. Doing that to no avail so far.
  11. BlueCruise UI

    I second The Weatherman’s response. Have 2022 ER, 22,000 miles and no software updates since October 19 2023. I contacted Ford to confirm I have setup all appropriate controls to insure a download …..but nothing for months. Frustrating as this is core to receiving value I expect for the...
  12. One Week 3,144 Mile Road Trip in SR Lightning Pro

    Biers, Great photos of your trip. Totally agree comment about charging anxiety. Simple formula for me in transition was reset time expectations (vs ACI gas stop); use time to relax or exercise/be productive and relish not using gas. I regularly do 240 mi in Northeast conditions trip at 73mph and...

  16. My First International Lightning Road Trip

    A great recap of your international journey. Your metrics and experiences are spot on with my experiences on longer journeys. I have ER 2022 Lariat. Having a realistic set of expectations on time to charge and range anxiety are not only manageable and can be stress free. E.g. using charge stops...

  19. Truck won’t start. Multiple visual warnings and audio alerts going off.

    Hi, My truck now 9 days at dealer with no diagnosis. I called dealer services manager yesterday and got his voicemail.
