    For anyone wanting to try it, just send me a DM and I'll get you set up.
  2. Home-built Android app for Lightning Math for any fellow geeks out there

    Ah ha. I was thinking about that idea. Given the speeds, you would have to use something like an airplane speed sensor. Then you have to figure out how to mount it to the outside of the vehicle in such a way that it would not be destroyed by the speed. I thought about a suction cup but figured...
  3. Home-built Android app for Lightning Math for any fellow geeks out there

    Thanks for the feedback! I'm just a part-time programmer of similar things. More of a tinkerer really. The next options I was going to explore with the app included interacting with the vehicle telemetry via OBD, interactions with maps etc, and adding it to Android Auto. The telemetry option...
  4. Home-built Android app for Lightning Math for any fellow geeks out there

    I've been a long-time lurker, and this is my first post. If you're like me, then on a long road trip you're constantly doing math in your head: Sense-checking the guess-o-meter Wondering about the impact of a headwind Asking yourself whether driving faster actually saves time Estimating how...
  5. BlueCruise hyper speed

    I've seen weird behavior when driving in Canada with a USA lightning. It seems to have issues with the Kmh to Mph conversion, and sometimes will leap up to 80 mph in a 120kmh zone.
  6. Personal best mi/kwh

    This is my personal best :) I'd just topped off the battery at EC in Kamloops, BC, Canada, and was heading north on highway 1.

    It finally arrived at the dealers today. 5 weeks from shipping notification.
  8. ✅ 4/10/2023 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

    Got my email today with the photo at the end of the assembly line. The truck is still sitting on a railcar in a siding about 150 miles from the rail depot, and has been for 4 days. Weirdly enough, I'd attempted to active the vehicle on FordPass about a month ago, and it was declined overnight. I...

    My truck is very slowly making its way across the country via rail. Average speed of the rail car (when its moving) is around 30 mph. Its spent the last 3 days in a siding somewhere in Eastern Washington. It still needs to make it to the automotive rail depot south of Seattle, then a truck to...

    I was having trouble getting the CSX rail car tracking line to understand me saying TTGX (the initials of my rail car). I found this on another forum and am posting it here for anyone for future reference. It's a slightly modified version of the instructions posted elsewhere on this forum...

    Thanks for that. I've tracked it to Minneapolis. Slowly slowly.... :)
  12. ✅ 4/10/2023 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

    Mine finally shipped back on 5/20. The delivery date keeps extending. Now expected in north east WA on 6/6. Hopefully it doesn't move again. I called Ford to see if they'd give me the rail car number so I could track it and they said a new policy prohibits them from giving it out. Last update...
  13. ✅ 4/10/2023 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

    So I'm in still built status, last update was 5/2. Expected delivery is 5/20-5/25. It's not showing as shipped yet. I'm hoping that the expected delivery date is not going to move. Other interesting data point - the window sticker shows CONVOY. I understood any deliveries on the West Coast...
  14. ✅ 4/10/2023 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

    Not yet. In production 4/16. Last update 4/19. Still showing in Production. Not sure how to track any finer detail than that. UPDATE: Built as of 4/26/23. Now we await shipping.
  15. ✅ 4/10/2023 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

    My dealer just told me that they are expecting delivery between May 11 and May 17. But Ford shows it still in production. I'll keep you updated :)
  16. ✅ 4/10/2023 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

    No :D The waiting at this point gets agonizing!
  17. ✅ 4/10/2023 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

    Blend date was yesterday. Tear tag was added today. I have a spray in bed liner to be added. Does anyone have any idea how long until it ships?
  18. ✅ 4/10/2023 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

    I got an email saying my order was updated. As far as I can tell, the only change is the CHMSL Camera Removal. Weirdly, in the configuration summary, it no longer lists it. However, in the Vehicle Details section, it still shows it with the credit. I guess I'll find out whether I have it when...
  19. ✅ 4/10/2023 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

    Got bumped to here from 2/27 to 3/6 to 3/27 to 4/3. I'll get the truck eventually!
