I'm curious if Ford will be making it available to owners to have done at the dealer? I have 2x MY23 LIghtnings, a Plat and Lariat. Both are missing it. It would be great if they would just let me pay back the credit I was given on the sticker (which I think was a couple hundred bucks).
I own two Lightnings now. My first one, a 23 Platinum, was ordered on launch day, and delivered Nov of 2022. That one originally had the same issues that many of us early folks had. But after the modem issues were resolved, that one has been getting timely updates ever since, as best I can...
For what it's worth to anyone else having this problem:
The Tesla update amounts to (in my mind) a *mandatory* update. They have publicized it. Everyone MUST be able to get this update. As a result, this should, over time, get everyone caught up to that level. And if a truck is logjammed (like...
I have 2 Lightnings. My first 2023, purchased in November 22, and it's been receiving updates timely for awhile, including the Supercharger update.
My second 2023, purchased October 23, hasn't received a single update since purchase. I've been in touch with BEV team, and they advised me the...
Since I originally posted that, I've seen your livestream wherein you addressed this. I totally understand your reasoning. At the time I wrote it, I knew you were still a bit shaken, so I wanted to at least put the thought on your radar. It's always at least worth asking the question of the...
In this modern era or portable battery-based jump starters, this is less of an issue. And with as much capacity we have to deliver AC current, one could carry a full on plug-in battery charger
I am waiting to hear about anyone using the A2Z adapter on a non-Ford, using the Tesla app to manually activate the dispenser.
In my tinkering with the app, I noticed that you have to put in your vehicle make/model for it to show the available v3 chargers that are supported. I tried putting...
I was purposely holding off on this one for exactly the reasons listed here. Even though they know I am coming in on a certain day, they will take my truck, then order the part, and make me drive a gasser for 2 weeks, then call me and tell me nothing was done.
So when I got a call out of the...
I know it's probably a distant thought right now, but if the insurance company is totaling it, it's worth determining if the battery pack is intact. Maybe you want to buy it back and convert the battery into a powerwall? From what I've seen, y'all have the aptitude (and contacts) to make it...
In multiple videos from that same site in NJ, I saw Ford folks repeatedly, when asked who was making it, say "Designed and Engineered by Tesla", as if the phrase was something mandatorily practiced before the big day. Note that they were not answering the question of "Who is making it?". So as...
My go to rate for the last several years has been $5/mo, paid yearly with BS fees and stuff at $72.84. So this new $3 thing sounds way better. Especially if I can just pay it for the 3 years now and be done with it.
As it is, I use a Privacy.com virtual card to pay for it, which allows me to...
I've recently been receiving postal spam begging me to come back for a vehicle I sold, and the best deal I have seen so far is $3/mo for 3 years. Accessible at siriusxm.com/3yrs.
So much this. I own 3 Diamondback covers, 1 going all the way back to 2007 or so. Really high quality product. While it might not be perfect for every person/application, it is definitely the right solution for me. I can't speak highly enough of it.
I would assume so. I'm going to guess $20-25k.
But there is a certain value of the concept. A big one is that it could be purchasable after the initial purchase of the vehicle, thus sidestepping the tax credit price restrictions. Which I think is clever. It also means that you don't need to...
