Kind of a known issue on some Lightning trucks at least built in August of 23. Best of luck getting anyone to help. One owner has had all tires, wheels and rear motor swapped at the dealer to no avail. He was awating a front motor swap and finally lemoned it. I had the same issue, 2023...

This weekend I was ferrying my Lightning South to be sold. Anyway, having the perfect opportunity, I decided to do a true highway efficiency test between the two trucks. My Son (very much smiling) driving the 4WT and me with my Lightning. 2023 Lightning XLT SR VS 2024 Silverado EV 4WT. Ambient...

It’s hard to see paint issues in photos. But the base coat is splotchy and changing color. It looks like baby powder was sprayed under the clearCoat for 25% of the quarter panel.

ok

Had a good look today. Seems to have appeared in the last month and getting more visible.

Yes I’ll have seen many reviews of the Tesla Winter range loss with the LFP as well as the Chicago US charging issues last Winter due to the LFPs not preheating as well accepting 1.2-1.4 kWh charging rates…

Just finished the tailgate dampener. Posted on the FB forum last week at $17.99. What the heck for that cost, Cheaper and easier than the ford OEM that needs to be painted…and easily put back to stock. Thanks to who posted this on FB. Less than 30 mins alone. Be sure to realign the lower...

I agree. I am from Maine. Cold and LFP do not mix. I am anxious to see a Mach E LFP VS NMC comparison below freezing.....

The 23 SR/ER was rated at 240/320

Hyundai has the leg up on EV heating. The Ioniq 5 has an 100% efficient variable power 7 kW resistive air duct heater for backup and super cold weather in the cabin. -15 to 70F in under 10 minutes. They also have a "Refrigerant to air" coil for the heat pump next to the duct heater. NO FLUID...

Yup. “We feel the shake but our balancer is broken so you need to bring it back again so we can prove it’s bad and get a replacement”. But I have a slip from my tire place and a roadforce report that says it has 36# of RF. “Oh but they may be wrong” ….uugh. My dealer is 1 hour from home and...

My CSP for the battery monitor is being done right now. . Hopefully no more issues….also a bad tire that failed a roadforce with 35# of force. We will see if they replace it or tell me it’s Normal. Over A month wait for this appointment and when I heard they did not order the tire this AM…I...

Thanks. I wish they could do it faster. a month wait for a CSP and a factory defective tire replacement sucks. they asked me to send a battery monitor module photo to the service manager last week.

No it was off All day while charging at work. The icon came on when I was in accessory mode just before before starting and seeing the warning. I have removed the dongle As of last night and Going to give it a check in a few.

Just started today, I was not monitoring the 12v with carscanner but started to after the warning, I got the dreaded sleep mode from FP when I went to remote start after 9 hours at the office. I thought that was strange and the truck had no videos on the screens. Then I got the 12v warning...

Exactly what I found. Anything Battery Capacity or % related is an estimated number and cannot be exact, especially on the Lightning . One interesting thing is my Hyundai Ioniq 5 was spot on every time. Even mi/kWh, kWh charged multiplied by 0.92 always matched BMS battery actual kWh and...

And here is what I got from the Trucks BMS in my followup post. . Thanks for posting. 82% could not be right..... Final tally.. I downloaded the whole charge from Carscanner and Input charge Voltage and Current and Output as well as battery absorbed power. 40.00160 kWH Into the trucks DC...

I posted another scan from home where it showed 82% Level 2 Charging efficiency, metered power into my Level 2 home charger to actual charged power to the battery of the truck. On two occasions I have calculated this efficiency and something was not right or the lightning charger is terribly...

Final tally.. I downloaded the whole charge from Carscanner and Input charge Voltage and Current and Output as well as battery absorbed power. 40.00160 kWH Into the trucks DC charger from my work level 2 charger. 36.8887 kWH from the charger out to the Trucks battery Calculates to an Exact...

thanks for all the replies. I posted another thread yesterday as I used CarScanner Pro to monitor the truck and charger data points all day while I charged at work, and from the at work data, 91.4% charger efficiency. The issue from the other day had to be Fords battery kWh estimates are...
