Ford offers a performance tune for the Mach E that increases power and performance and, rumor has it, has considered offering something similar for Lightning, If more power and performance can be uncorked through software only then by definition the standard offering must logically be at least...
In California at least ABRP's failure to notify likely breached a legislative change that took effect on 7/1 requiring specific notification before any automatic renewal should be processed (mine was middle of August).
ABRP has, as an aside, just fallen foul of my strict "if you fail to notify that a renewal is upcoming before you charge the card and process the renewal, then I won't do business with you" policy. I had an ABRP premium account and they just renewed the annual subscription without any heads up...
Mine is about the same with an EV time of use plan. For super off peak with our CCA handling generation and SDGE delivering we're around the same. There's a $16 fee, but we have fully paid solar and NEM2 so all that does is reduce our net credit a bit and we save a lot running things overnight...
A wise business decision from an organization circling around in the flushing waters of the automotive crapper primarily because it is known for making bad ones? Stellantis make a grand total of one vehicle that's competitive. And it's a minivan.
State of Charge just did an excellent video on this. Tom got 287 miles driving his 2022 Lightning ER from 100% down to 0% at a constant 70mph freeway speed. There's a thread on the forum with the video. This was a re-run of a test Tom ran when new, and the long story short was that the truck at...
@tommolog Another excellent video. Wondered if you have looked at the data via the OBDII port and CarScanner etc to see what the truck reports as its SoH? My 2022 just turned three years old this past month and mine still reports 100% SoH via the OBDII data. I suspect that's the result of slowly...
the trucks that already offer that aren’t selling as well as the Lightning, most probably because they are no more efficient than the Lightning and achieve the extra range solely through the addition of a much larger and heavier battery. if ford were to go down that path they would be adding...
The powered tailgate will raise up and close if you give it a little bump up and let go, so wonder if that happened as you were driving and caused it to close?? I don't know if the "bump to lift" feature is turned off when you are driving. I've never had to use it, but I've got a snap-in...
I will never understand the "I would upgrade for NACS" point. It is literally nothing more than a connector. If you have an adapter, about the only meaningful advantage a NACS connector has over CCS is that it would make for a slightly more comfortable dildo.
You're fine. The estimated range adjusts based on various factors including your driving. As others say, focus on your miles per kWh as well. My truck is at average of 2.1 miles per kWh since new, so my range on a full charge should be roughly 275. And that's what I generally see. Also remember...
Sorry, but you're expecting too much here. Ford is supplying a charger - for free - that will charge your truck as fast as it can charge. That is absolutely the "proper charger" for your 2025. If you want an 80 amp charger, there are plenty on the market.
Some very knowledgeable and extremely helpful forum members (rugedraw and Jesse Infotainment) are of the opinion that there is no new hardware required....
