Might be way too expensive an option but I know of some people who can't be without an Internet connection and have a Starlink plan as a backup. The initial hardware outlay is expensive, it could be permanently mounted in your vehicle, and you could only subscribe when you absolutely need...

Perhaps the difference is my FCSP came with my order of my Lariat ER, and upon having my order activated, I immediately called Sunrun and ordered the HIS unit through them and had them install it. If your path differed, maybe that explains the lack of a notice. I've quoted the Ford contact...

We only have the Rivian driver's version of the story, but it does sound like the Tesla driver was suffering from a bad case of entitlement. I wonder how things will go as SuperChargers get more clogged with non-Tesla owners. Blocking two spots like the Rivian owner was doing is sure to be ever...

Tesla Owner Calls Police on Rivian Driver Using Supercharger | PCMag The RIvian driver was also occupying two charger spaces ...

I got the warning a couple of days ago, but I read @Gimme_my_MME's advice in another thread on this (as just above) and have ignored it. Either way, Ford really needs to get its act together if it can't update its maps in a timely fashion and then has to hit everyone up with warnings (or...

In a way, Musk having a prominent company named Tesla is very apropos of Musk's current eccentric trajectory in history. The U.S. and Europe were gearing up to make DC current a "thing." But you could only transmit DC current ~2 miles. Folks knew about the virtues of high-voltage AC current...

That's why the major U.S. automakers including Tesla and Ford are using CATL batteries and CATL and BYD have over 50% of the world market for EV batteries; just vaporware...? Quotes taken from Electrotek article. Emphasis added by me to single sentence in top post at that site.

CATL launches new EV battery that will last 1 million miles, 15 yrs (electrek.co)

It might be very prudent on Ford's part to delay the T3 if the new CATL battery is for real (I think it's LFP, though): 1 million miles and 15 years, little degradation in the first 1,000 recharges, charges VERY fast. If true, Ford would be stupid not to incorporate that technology into the T3...

I didn't look at the harnesses but yesterday, I cranked my spare tire down to check the pressure. I had the opposite sensation. Compared to all the road spray elsewhere on the truck, I was impressed at how clean the spare tire underside was (facing toward the road). Also, impressed that with...

Thanks for waking me up to reality! I wonder if any consequences are covered by my Ford Protect extended warranty! Doesn't seem like a "normal wear" issue (that's not covered).

Removed the left (side of the vehicle) front frunk cover to check brake fluid levels and in twiddling around with the cover clips, decided to check out how the fasteners on the right front frunk cover were doing. I've only removed the right front frunk once or twice before. That was back in...

Well, now the SOC charge level is back - must have been something like server maintenance... At any rate, seems like you can't always depend on finding your LVB SOC posted under the <your name> account button.

If I go to "James' account," the display of any vehicle information is now gone. Used to work like a charm. Maybe Ford got tired of all the owners using server electricity to find their LVB SOC? Ford Account Dashboard | Ford Owner Support Here's what shows up on that page for me now: And...

I haven't read the whole rest of the thread yet after the quoted post above, but you can also use the link to apply to be in the EAP (program). I just did, and now "WaitListed" appears on the left heading of my online Ford account. I said that since I have a Home Integration System and have been...

Interesting article in The Street on how Musk's edict that all new Teslas will come equipped with FSD (for $12,000 extra) has boosted Tesla stock. Tesla stock leaps as Elon Musk pushes key technology tied to profit boost - TheStreet In an "Oh, BTW ..." moment in the article, Musk is quoted as...

I always carry my fob with me in a Faraday cage I bought on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B4DNQZ34/ but I found the following about "No key detected!" In the ten months I've owned my Lightning, I've often gotten the "No key detected" while using PAAK. What I've found works ~100%...

Not sure why you are compelled to make ad hominem remarks. My report was just about where Ford as a company might be heading with the Home Integration System (and even with massively big and massively expensive EV trucks - but you don't give that part of my post much attention, and potentially...

Unfortunately, that's my thought entirely, too. When 99% of Lightning owners aren't using HIS, it's just an annoying, in-the-way mystery in the FordPass app, particularly when there's a programmed invitation in the FP app last time I checked to set up backup power transfer, etc., check its...

The following Ford announcement arrived Friday, 3/22/24, and got put in my JUNK mail folder. Only noticed it today. Probably was only sent to existing Home Integration System (Intelligent Backup Power) owners, like yours truly... A new way to manage Intelligent Backup Power is up ahead. A...
