Before owning my Lighting, I never gave much thought as to how little I drive when I'm home. I drive to the airport about 4 times a month (80m each way). When home, driving around town just doesn't use that much power...BUT if you plug in every night you really don't even think about it. I do...

Additionally, they should have made the expedition EV. It would have been the perfect mom-tank.

The only cost was the tire rotation. Side note: I asked them to check for the front axle "ping" because I hear it. They said it was driven by a mechanic and the head of MX and neither heard anything. I've been working around heavy machinery for 30+ years...I hear the ping, and I'm not even trying.

AI can be great. The perception here is, rather than spend resources on getting the Ford App solid, and the truck software all updated for everyone...we instead see this AI thing (another app?). Something that may be cool and may have some use, but we want what we already have to be top notch.

I recently had my truck in and was told they did the 30,000 mile service. Yet, when I look at the app, it does not show this to be the case. Does anyone know how this is triggered into the app?

So...when should we change our 12v battery? Unlike an ICE vehicle (during start) there is not "obvious" indication of its pending failure...that I'm aware of.

Does anyone notice a parallel between American's "fear" of charging a car and the folks in this thread and their dislike/distrust/dis-something of YouTube? It humors me.

I'm surprised no mention of the home power backup hasn't been mentioned. While that wasn't a reason I bought the truck, I thought it was a cool side effect...until I saw the actual cost. I never did it. I believe this is a major failure. I also think a combination of the first reduction in...

I got the Lightning because if fit my "mission". City truck stuff, no towing, 90 minutes to the airport a few times a month. It's a great fit for me...and most people if they researched on their own vs listening to the news. Wait for this winter's EV horror stories.

I haven't towed anything, so I can't speak to that, but travelling in this truck is a non-event. Ford let the media own the narrative about the charging infrastructure. Yes, in the ealier days is was mediocre. With the addition of the Tesla network, that changed and has continued to greatly...

Via...? I've not had this happen. I did recently do the process to turn off the seatbelt chime, but I don't think that did it.

Having BC on in stop and go traffic is not unlike an airplane autolanding...the whole time you should be on edge waiting for it to eF up. I'm enjoying the latest BC, but I use it at hwy speed and generally kick it off if the traffic becomes stop & go as I can do that better.

Yes, glad I didn't spend the extra to have that contraption installed.

I get it. I figured it was a useful efficiency thing. Now it is sitting in my garage and my efficiency hasn't changed a bit.

I did a round trip (3.5 hours each direction) with old timey blue cruise...and it was fine. The day after I returned I got the BC update. I had the same round trip lined up the next week. Trip A was about 1/2 back roads and 1/2 highway. Trip B I purposely went all highway to put the new BC to...

I think we are saying the same thing. But - he did mention, this job was to update 2 modules, for pay of .3 each module. Yet, that .3 doesn't take into account all of the other supporting modules that have to be updated. He also talked about how bad pay at the dealership is. My impression was...

I just had mobile service stop by to do the front sensor update. I asked and he said for those updates required by the dealership, it automatically updates everything as the new stuff likely has dependencies on the newer versions of everything. This may be why there are some updates that have...

higher psi, slower in the corners.

So I've driven the truck on 2 of my longer usual round trips now. I do this drive 3 to 4 times a month. About an hour each direction and 95% highway. My mileage on these last two trips is the same as it ever was. Zero change in economy.
