For those familiar, BuiltRIght makes (in my opinion) one of the better designed dash mounts for the F150 line, including the Pro/XLT Lightnings. But they do not yet have a variant for the Lariat/Platinum with the 15" screen. I emailed them a year ago to ask about an ETA, and they said they...

So I have been having this off and on issue since I got my truck, wherein I am unable to reliably charge at home (or any other lvl2 charger), but I can DCFC just fine. I plug in, I can hear the EVSe contactor engaging, I think I can hear the truck contactor engaging, but I end up I just get the...

Has anyone figured out how to configure an order for a Lariat with Max Tow package and get it under the $80k MSRP, to qualify for the tax credit? I've already removed the EVSE, but I don't see anything else I can uncheck to bring it down. Best I can seem to end up at is $80,585. Am I missing...

Some interesting interviews from @tommolog at the State of Charge channel.

I received an email today asking me the following: Let us know what you think about your 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning 4WD SuperCrew. As a participant in the InMoment New Vehicle Customer Study, your input will be used to help shape the next generation of products produced by the automotive...

Completing my JD power survey, and I get to this page.. Even JD Power says I need to lay off the tacos.

Last night, I noticed my level 2 charge session errored out (orange on the charge indicator). I've seen this occasionally since I got the truck, and usually it clears up if I unplug and replug. I didn't address it last night, as I had plenty of range for Friday's travels, and I didn't notice...

I dropped my 23 Platinum off at the dealer today for a short list of small items, but mostly to deal with 2 issues: - The Torque click TSB - The loss of comms issue For the latter issue, I fully expect that they won't have any resolution to it yet, but I thought it important to get on the board...

There has been quite a bit of discussion lately on the necessity to disconnect the 12v battery to reboot the system and restore connectivity. I too have been one of the folks affected by this, so I decided a shortcut was in order. Yes, I;ve heard mention of an update coming soon that will...

Anyone found a way to turn off the auto-dimming mirrors? With my dark tint, I'm finding that the autodimming is too much, and I think I'd be better off without it. I can't seem to find a control to turn it off. Short of obstructing the sensor, is there a setting anywhere to disable it? I've...

So I went to rescue my son today, and it didn't go as planned. He drives a 2015 BMW i3, and he let his battery get a little too low. I went to rescue him, and provide him some charge to get him a couple miles down the road. We plugged his L1 EVSE into the tailgate port. (yeah, I know, but I...

So I've noticed in recent weeks that the nav system advises me to use the "carpool lane". The first time I noticed it do this, I did in fact have a passenger with me, so I thought it was being clever and using sensors to detect the presence of a passenger, and adjusting its nav announcements...

I have had this error condition occur frequently when charging: I get the alert that my truck has finished charging to my preset of 90%, then immediately get an alert that there was an error with the charge station. There doesn't seem to be an actual problem. Seems to just be a wierd anomaly.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who was wanting the Builtright Dash Mount for their Lightning. I reached out to them yesterday, and here was their response. Just FYI for anyone else that goes searching here for it. Greetings yall, I am interested in your dash mount kit for my recently...

I picked up my truck a week ago. Today was my appt for tint. While the tint shop had the truck, they called me advising that the defroster lines in the back window were incomplete, and they suggested holding off on the back window tint until I get that resolved, since it's likely to be a...

As someone who has had previous Ford vehicles, I have always disabled the seat belt warning chime. I do of course wear my seat belt when appropriate. But I detest getting pestered by it when I am maneuvering at slow speed (like in an open field). In the past this was called BeltMinder...

So the latest Munro video mentioned that the ER battery is an actual 144Kwh, while only 131 is available to the user. My math says that's about 10%. So does that mean that Ford built in the extra at the top, the bottom, split between both? And how does this affect the conventional wisdom of...

The DiamondBack Covers folks are doing a series with a road trip in the Lightning.

Good video today on Munro Live about how the electrical aspects of chargers, NEMA 14-50's, etc, are maybe not up to the task of EV charging. GOod points, and hopefully Sandy using his platform to get this out there will get some real high level folks interested and discussing it. Better now...

The latest video from Munro Live covering the underbelly of the F150L Platinum. I'm really looking forward to following this series as they tear it down to its constituent parts. In this video the inverter above the rear motor is kinda interesting. Can't wait to see them dig into that.
