Wait... are you saying the lightning lets you drive with the charger connected?! What??!?! I am very interested in this whole topic. BTW, other researchers online have done the math and found that an F150 Lightning + Generator is more fuel efficient than an ICE F150, so there is really little...

I am in the same boat, same timeframe. The only regret I have is not waiting 6 months as I could have saved 30 grand or so, but hindsight is 20/20. I have no regrets about the vehicle itself. I also suspect it will last a VERY long time.... its over two years old now and still works and runs...

The standard time period for a major model refresh in the car industry is 6 years. 4 years is nothing, it's mid cycle.

I just found out about this today. IMO its a wacky choice to do this AND not give the owner to click a button to override it. I have a small LiON battery pack the size of a shoe box that outputs 1.5 KW, and I can use this in my closed frunk zero issues

There is no update, everything still works fine just as I outlined. Follow the steps and you will have walk away lock until Ford implements it right

LIghtning loses very little charge while parked... the phantom drain is near 0. I have never left mine two weeks, but I have left it at the airport for 5 days and noticed 0 power loss. You may want to throw a 12v jump pack in the dash, and bring you rkey fob (which has the physical key) just in...

I don't use my fob, ever. It is in a basket in my office (far from any doors/windows). I use PAAK exclusively.

I really hope they do it like that because the walk away lock on our Honda is annoying because I don't want it active when parked safely in my garage... we go out to load up the car and its locked and I need to go back in to get the key... annoying. I only want walk away lock active when it is...

What does any of that have to do with this discussion???!? Where is "Full Accessory Mode" mentioned anywhere in that document?

I think you're missing the fact that there are three modes - Accessory mode - "Full accessory mode" - Drive mode No one is debating the first. It is the second one that is a pointless mode. "Rolling up and down the windows" is something that many cars allow in the first mode, if Ford disables...

Agree... this feels like a holdover from ICE that makes absolutely zero sense. I doubt this exists on a Tesla or Rivian. Accessory mode makes some sense, "Full Accessory Mode" does not.

It runs all the heated seats and steering wheel etc as well.

Works great for me. I still have plan to figure out a lowpass filter for the garbage truck beep while retaining the pedestrian sound. I want the pedestrian sound for safety, I just HATE the garbage truck beep and it is completely unneeded and wakes up my family. Right now I have detached the...

This is exactly what I thought was the case... which leaves me to question why Ford would ever even include this mode at all. It serves zero purpose except to put wear on your battery, and create a potential for it to strand you. It is not like an ICE car where the battery will charge "for free"...

I am trying to sort out in the Lightning (and perhaps Ford EVs in general) what "Full Accessory Mode" actually is. In an ICE vehicle, when you turn on Full Accessory Mode, the car runs everything except the engine including all the HVAC, windows, etc. It is different from the basic "Accessory...

What gives is, the heat here is not waste heat from the engine, it is all coming from a heating element that should be able to be much more directly controlled.

LO when you have heat enabled means that it's just using vents... it's bringing in the outside air. Which in my case in winter is way below 32F. I don't want that. I want 45-50.

Thank you for all the tips and tricks on clothing and heat - I am just trying to find out about the ability to alter this setting on FORScan. I can not find anything in the control modules for this but I am far from an expert.

You can't disable the HVAC in the winter because windows will fog almost instantly. Air needs to be kept moving.

Unless your sleep in the foyer of your home it's not really an issue. The people who fall victim to these attacks are the folks who walk in the door and throw their keys on a table right next to it, or have their key rack right next to the door. Just don't do those stupid things. Keep your...
