This whole affair is completely non sensical. I don't understand why the engineers at Ford think this is something that needs to even exist at all. Its convoluted, confusing and unnecessary. All winter, when we needed to charge our Lightning, I had to remember to deal with this. Mach E...

Update as of saturday 3/15. I received a replacement Pixel 9 Pro from google under warranty. Was not in "new unit" packaging, so I guess it was a refurb of some sort. Did the migration from the phone that was hanging constantly to the new one. So far, I've tested it in the Lightning with a...

Thanks all.... I did some more experimentation today. It happened with the Lightning on my drive to the office this morning and my drive this afternoon. It was completely hung for a portion of the drive this afternoon. Only the Android Auto part was hung, I was able to select the Ford Apps...

Thats a good idea. This happens less on the Mach E than on the Lightning, so part of my intuition is that there's something awry in the Lightning's media control plane, but I dunno My wife has a Pixel 8a and that works generally ok and doesn't freeze, although it doesn't connect wirelessly in...

Thanks Rick (as usual) I've done that several times, with numerous different cables (incl the OEM google one) and it does the same thing. Sometimes that makes it even worse.... Have tried a few different phones too. The Ford dealers aren't particularly adept at these subtle digital...

Not sure how to think about this problem. I might be the phone (Pixel 9 pro), but I'm not sure. The symptom is that the upper 70 of the screen, that displays Android Auto (maps, toolbar, media, etc) is hung most of the time. Occasionally, I can regain control, but in general, the screen is...

Thanks Tman! I my case this frigid morning, I had only heated for 1 cycle. When I went to push the extend button, I got the failure message. And it then failed every other time I tried to run another cycle. I just never understand why they put these goofy artificial limits in the...

Jumping in on this thread. Today, its 8 degrees in the balmy northeast, a perfect day to pre heat up the lightning so I can excavate it from the snowfall, then drive it all warmed up. While I appreciate that Ford has given us on-demand remote heat control, instead of the abysmal scheduling...

Thanks everyone. Funny, I've owned the Lightning for more than 2 years, and not once did I have this issue until now. I never even knew there was a "charging app", as I generally ignore the Ford software at all costs as it seems to do more harm than good most of the time. Lord only knows...

Thanks.. But I can't even find the 1 time charge limit setting. It wasn't visible in the FP app while charging, and I simply can't find the Charging part of Sync.

Well, got a rude surprise today, when we went to public charging, plugged in, and the charger decided to stop charging the car at what it thought was 100%. The truck decided that 90% is the new target charge. So I'm missing a solid 50 miles of range that I actually need to get to where we're...

Having a strange issue that I'm not even sure how to diagnose. I recall seeing some folks here having issues with the large display hanging... not sure if its the same problem. This only happens with Android Auto. The 4 command buttons on the taskbar at the bottom of the Android Auto...

I now have the remaining battery showing on each destination in google maps. Not sure how accurate it is, but its V1, so we'll see.

Farley seems like a charming dude, but he's saying things like this not for the customers, most of who simply don't care a single bit about Blue Cruise, but for the moronic financial/industry analysts who cover the company. Whether its released in 2026 or 2136 no one will really care...

I took the survey. I didn't do a video. Seemed like the Blue Cruise product marketing team is trying to figure out why no one is willing to pay for Blue Cruise or if they are, at what price. Its a non essential "feature" that I never asked for nor do I care about it. We used it for a...

My wife drives both the Mach E and the Lightning. She likes them both a ton. But she hates parking the Lightning!

Weird. I was looking the other day, and both of my links in my confirmation emails (Lightning and Mach E) have expired. and Ford.com no longer shows my "order" But there's a tricky blue link on the top of my vehicle page to check status of the adapter. Both of mine will ship in July...

Thanks Rick, you're one of the most reliable and consistent posters here.... Not frustrated with the free charging, simply hate public charging as it literally never works correctly for us with the exception of maybe 1 or 2 that aren't either offline, broken, can't accept payment or won't...

So, we have both a Lightning and Mach E. We have a ton of charging credit left in the Blue Oval charge bundle on both cars... mostly because public charging basically never works at any EA station, or I can't get the Blue Oval stuff to work at the other random station that it claims is part...

I live on 1PD, especially in the Lightning. On certain trips, its literally the thing that makes the difference between getting to our destination on our existing charge and having to go to the horrific public charging stations on our route. Especially on the hilly sections in NY state and...
