  1. Lane Centering Sensitivity adjustment?

    I find that if you gently tug on the wheel with one hand, the frequency of the "put your hands back on the wheel" alert will go down.
  2. 2023 ER Lariat Heater Went Out Just as Winter Hit

    Heater went out on mt 22 Lariat ER. They refilled (eliminated the air pocket) in the coolant. Problem solved, but it took two visits. I tried the electric space heater and it tripped the breaker with only a 600w heater. I tried the plug in the bed and same thing. The only thing I can get to...
  3. My Ford Pass Patience Is Wearing Thin

    I tried to set a departure time to precondition the batteries about a year ago. It never worked. Then I started getting messages that the cabin was warmed and ready to go...at 3:19AM. Now I cannot even find the screen to set a departure time. I have been writing software for 54 years. I...
  4. Space Heater is too much wattage for ProPower outlet in cabin

    If the heater worked, I would use it. The dealer cannot work on it until the 17th. And, it is cold in Maryland today.
  5. Space Heater is too much wattage for ProPower outlet in cabin

    Not certain about the capacity of the inverter. I have a 2022 lariat ER if that helps.
  6. Space Heater is too much wattage for ProPower outlet in cabin

    I plugged in a different heater and when it hit about 1400W the breaker tripped. I reset everything and turned the heater on Medium and it pulled 800W. The plug and heater stayed on. BTW, I tried to use a wet-saw in the bed of the truck and it tripped the breaker immediately.
  7. Space Heater is too much wattage for ProPower outlet in cabin

    For the second time my heater does not work. The dealer cannot look at it until 12/17. So, I have tried to plugin a space heater and it trips the proPower outlet in the cabin. ProPower is set to 90w on the outlet and it does not allow me to increase the wattage to support the space heater...
  8. Charge Station EV conversion to $4.50 per gallon @18mpg

    Now you know why Elon is the richest man in the world. I have 32K miles on my ER Latiat. Only once did I try to find one and then charge to batteries. 4th location worked. After 45 minutes on the phone with EVGO. 3 hours later I was on the road again. Love the truck, hate the charging...
  9. 2024 Lariat - Heat Not Working Well

    I have a 22 Lariat ER. I had the dealer look at it..said they recharged the AC...road tested...OK. Not OK. Last year it was HoTTT. Now it takes about 5-10 minutes to start blowing lukewarm. In 30 minutes it is comfortable. It is going back to the dealer after Thanksgiving!
  10. SunRun Run around?

    Sun Run impressed me as a boiler-room operation in 2022 when I bout my Lightning. When the first person to answer the phone said I needed to confirm my order with a manager, I told them to get lost. I installed the smaller charger at both of my homes myself for a fraction of what SunRun wanted.
  11. First and last ford (spoiler: it’s not the truck)

    On the Silverado, check to see if the left rear window can be lowered from the driver's seat.
  12. First and last ford (spoiler: it’s not the truck)

    I have been dealing with Bob Bell Ford for years. Glen Burney, Maryland. I have a 22 ER Lariat w/ 31K miles. The heater stopped working. Yesterday, I was 2 hours late for my appointment, no problem. I needed a ride home, within seconds of me asking, there was a driver standing in front of...
  13. Would 18x7.5 steel rims work on lightning?

    I think you are going to have trouble fitting the 18" wheel around the Brakes.
  14. Best wheels/tires for efficiency

    No, I am saying that rotational energy is a big deal. And, that the regeneration hardware is tuned to the weight of the rotational mass. so is the acceleration.
  15. Best wheels/tires for efficiency

    There is a balance in rotating mass when it comes to expending energy for accelerations and recovering energy while slowing down. 40% of breaking/accelerating force is consumed by rotating mass. 79 pounds is optimal. Else you risk efficiency loss.
  16. NACS Adapter Now Available + Ford EV Owners Can Now Charge on Tesla Superchargers in U.S., Canada! 🙌

    the web site us FUBR. Interesting that Ford has no idea how to deploy a highly scaled solution. I cannot wait to see how they perform when I try to use a Tesla Charger.
  17. $1 PER KWH?

    I get $0.1035 per Kw at home. Any public charging site is a ripoff. Emergencies only. If I need to travel beyond 250 miles, I use an ICE vehicle.
  18. Battery Degradation Calculations

    Aero drag is the biggest factor, unless you are towing. Try tucking in behind a semi on the highway to extend your range. I just did a 31 mile drive on the highway at 23 degrees and got 2.1M/Kw. Behavior is everything on this issue.
  19. Baffled and looking for advice, range vs plans

    Check your tire pressure. Range drops about 20% when the temperature hits ~60. I have a regular 150M route on the highway and get between 1.7 and 2.1 M/Kw. I can hit upper 2s and low 3s when driving at 25mph on the island. As a benchmark, I only get 220M out of a tank of gas with my Carrera.
