  1. Is Electrify America an oil industry psy op?

    I think this might be a point favor of Big Oil Conspiracy. They know that internal combustion cars are finished in Canada, even moreso now that they're allowing Chinese imports. The USA is the last market they can maintain control over. ... I'm actually starting to believe this a little bit 😂
  2. Is Electrify America an oil industry psy op?

    Thanks for appreciating-- I wasn't sure if it would come across as mildly tongue-in-cheek or actual full blown conspiracy theorist :)
  3. Is Electrify America an oil industry psy op?

    I think it may have been created to deliberately slow down the adoption of EVs. Hear me out: It tends to fail in subtly irritating ways, like degraded service for one or two stations, and always during busy weekends or weather events The stations themselves are located in busy parking lots...
  4. Important Update: Ford EV Roadmap & Future of F-150 Lightning (EREV Next Gen Model) - ⛔️ ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS

    Feels like the sort of design-by-committee that keeps legacy auto from innovating. "Can't decide between EV or ICE? How about both?" By appealing to everyone, it appeals to no one...
  5. What to do with spare ER batteries - Buy the matching truck?

    FWIW, I'd pay $10k to swap my SR with an ER all day long. You can even take my gently used SR battery for free.
  6. Ticking from 12v battery compartment

    I did finally get it resolved! All said and done I think I paid around $800.
  7. Ticking from 12v battery compartment

    Still waiting. Apparently they found one via another dealership somewhere, and it's now being overnighted. Just a heads up if anyone else runs into this problem... there seems to be a real issue with parts availability through official Ford channels.
  8. Disabling F-150 Lightning's Beeps, Dings, Chimes, Honks, Bings, Bongs, and Dongs

    Definitely prefer my truck to warn me about any upcoming shitdowns
  9. Ticking from 12v battery compartment

    Still waiting on the part from the dealership. Back ordered until 6/6 at least... What's frustrating is that it's easily available via 3rd party sites. I guess I didn't realize this, but dealers have to use some internal Ford website to source their parts.
  10. Ticking from 12v battery compartment

    Talked with Ford today and confirmed that valves are not included in either the powertrain warrany or the battery warranty. To reiterate: > gears, differential, shafts, fluid pumps, seals and gaskets, bearings, mounts, drive shaft, retainers, supports, universal and constant velocity joints...
  11. Ticking from 12v battery compartment

    Yes, I think you're right. At the time it did seem interesting that they: 1. Could not get the part, because it's specific to EVs and not readily in stock 2. Couldn't get the the warranty to cover it, because it's a generic part I would be interested in replacing it on my own, but I'm not at...
  12. Ticking from 12v battery compartment

    I'm at 41k miles and did not get the extended warranty.
  13. Ticking from 12v battery compartment

    You were right-- The part that needs replacing is HV Battery Radiator Coolant Diverter Valve. The crappy thing is that it's back ordered, ETA early June. I asked the tech if I can continue driving the truck around town which he said should be fine. I do have the Max Tow package so I wonder if...
  14. Ticking from 12v battery compartment

    Coolant valve! Well, that would make sense. I should be getting it back from the dealership in about two hours, so we'll see :)
  15. Red Truck Icon of Doom and Stop Safely Now {Fixed Post #24}

    Couldn't help but notice that you are running into potential HVJB issues at 41k mileage. My symptoms are a little different, but I'm wondering if our trucks share a same faulty part...
  16. Ticking from 12v battery compartment

    HVBJB seems like a good bet. I'm keeping an eye on the battery voltage and it seems to be hovering around 12. So... that's something. I got an appointment with the dealership on Monday, will post back with what I learn.
  17. Ticking from 12v battery compartment

    It happens when the truck is off. I noticed it immediately after opening the driver's side door. Charging via my Level 2 home charger also seems to trigger it.
  18. Ticking from 12v battery compartment

    2023 Pro SR with 41000 miles. Everything's been perfect until today, when I noticed the following symptoms: 1. A wrench icon, with a "Powertrain malfunction / Reduced power" error message on the dash 2. Repetitive clicking emanating from the 12v battery compartment (see video) 3. Low voltage...
  19. Accurate CAD files for headlights and taillights (or: anyone with a 3D Scanner?)

    I was able to source these via official channels (the Ford Upfitter program): https://www.fordpro.com/en-us/upfit/cad/
