Ford has apparently built a (bad) reputation with AI. I was curious whether "ghosting" was an appropriate term for the Ford Lightning saga, particularly the Home Integration System (still waiting for information on that from our @Ford Motor Company liaison, Brian). Here's what AI thought about...
I have a '23 Lariat ER, and I've had PPOB functional in displaying outlet power consumption for about a week (at least) on an iPhone 14 Pro Max running iOS 26.2 (just didn't feel the need to chime in that I got it).
I don't think Ford would/could do that until the warranty period runs out for the battery and drive train. Otherwise, they'd be opening a can of worms for themselves. But, YEAH!, after our warranties are dead, 100%! (y)
Still no word on what Ford plans to do to remedy the Home Integration System upon the discontinuation of the Lightning EV. For all the time you've been on the forum, Brian, you still haven't been able to produce an official Ford answer or explain why you can't, in spite of repeated queries and...
Thanks for reminding me of another reason not to buy another Ford (or other American vehicle). I haven't checked recently, but Toyota and Honda are more likely to provide parts for popular vehicles for 15 to 20 years. Great to sell a truck that Ford claims is built to last, but let it drop off...
Sad to hear the news. Too bad Americans are not more EV-oriented. If Ford uses this as an excuse to also write off fixing the Home Integration System, I will never buy another Ford, and I'll be sure to let friends and neighbors know about Ford's unethical and immoral behavior.
On your home screen, look at the black in the Ford Charge Station Pro Setup app icon vs. the Ford(Pass) app to its left. The FCSP app has a true black in the lower center, and you'll see your Android FP icon has a deep, deep blue color to it.
As I pointed out in my previous post, true navy...
Did you try turning your screen brightness all the way up? Your icon looks deep blue to me on my OLED LG C4 TV "computer monitor." On iOS 26, especially in Dark Mode, the blue in my FP icon almost looks black, but with the screen brightness maxed out, one can see it's just a very deep shade of...
Ford must have unhappy dealers. They are really pushing servicing, both in the app and in constant e-mails I get urging me to get service, dealer deals, etc. When I updated to FP 6.3, I was offered to have a dealer automatically schedule servicing for me when the truck tells the dealer it's time.
I also invested in two devices, IIRC, that other forum members suggested in previous posts, both of which are available on Amazon: sonar distance sensors and heavy rubber curb stops. I have a little more room to spare, about 8 to 10 inches, but I try to allow 2 to 3 inches for my rear bumper...
All this bit about 1PD giving you more regen.... I bet most of youse guys blow that regen out the window when you floor it to get onto the freeway, etc., .... 😁
The basic reason I don't use 1PD is that its braking is too sensitive to the amount of reduced pressure on the accelerator. Using the brake pedal, you get much more incremental control in braking, plus the ability to better incrementally creep forward in 2PD by just lifting your foot off the...
Hmm. I wonder if the truck will pay more attention to the Home Integration System when the truck has to be aroused from deep sleep to transfer power during a grid outage?
