My dealer also tried to play that card that an EV tech has to do it. I finally convinced them that the part was no different than on an ICE truck. Its like they don't even want to touch an EV, even for the simplest maintenance.
Update finally installed correctly last night after the first time ended in failure over a week ago. After waiting 8 months for the first update, we'll see how things go from here.
Well, I will say don't try to get an EV serviced at Waldorf Ford on a Saturday. I took my Lightning in today for Customer Satisfaction campaign notice 23B57 "High Voltage battery module replacement and or battery control software becm module update". I figured I just needed the software update...
My delivery estimate slips to the right every three days it seems. Originally dealer expected it on the 19th. And then there is this:
I know it means nothing, but it so exemplifies this whole process.

" 9-NORMAL,NB,116025,PD121 "
To:
4-REBILL,NB,109376,PF071
Rebill???

Ford Marketing told me my truck passed some inspection on the 6th of June, but couldn't provide any more details than that. Still pending an updated delivery date since the long past 10-16 May previous estimate. Still "in production" since 2 May. No holds on the truck that the marketing rep can...
