27k miles. Only maintenance is tire rotations and recently, new tires. It was, by far, the most expensive vehicle i ever purchased. And it’s also the first brand-new vehicle I purchased in 40 years of driving. So buying the Lighting felt like a really big deal for me. And I don’t regret it for a...

I changed my well-worn, stock Hankook “AT” tires at 26,000 miles. They had the same outside edge wear that everyone here complains about. I thought I could make it through the winter, but decided our lives were worth more than trying to extend the life out of an unsafe tire. As everyone here...

Sorry to hear about your experience. I hope your technical problems get resolved. I'm 11 months into ownership and am about to flip 20,000 miles with absolutely zero problems. I've rotated the tires. That's it. I've never had a vehicle as remotely trouble-free as my Lightning. I hope Ford is...

This update was different for me. I got a message on my screen about 24hrs in advance letting me know I was going to receive a software update at a scheduled time. In my case at 1am. I got the message every time I started her up. The software updated without a hitch. And from what I could tell...

wind, solar, and Lightning

That’s it! Thank you so much!

Actually, no. I used to have a separate app on the center screen. I can’t remember what it was called, but it specifically showed “where is my power going?” And it would show the driving, accessories, heating, cooling in a graph with their corresponding kw. It was pretty basic. Always wished it...

I got this update (6.4) while in the middle of my first road trip—actually while I was at a fast charger. I’ve never gotten an update while at home with fast internet. Only randomly while driving! anyway, i only noticed that my auto fold mirrors stopped working and the app that lets you see...

Someone I know had 2 cars stolen from their fancy home in Ct. on the same night. The thieves were “joyriders.” Teenagers. This is apparently what some kids do for fun these days. Both cars were eventually recovered. One of the 2 was torched. Neither of them were EV’s. I think everyone hears...

Why wait? In the 3 months I’ve owned mine I haven’t burned roughly 250 gallons of gas. The electricity I used (in New York State) was powered by about 50% natural gas, 25% nuclear, and 25% hydro/wind. Pumping gas is way less convenient than plugging in when you get home. And it‘s the most...

It’s all about the lights.

I've had my Lariat SR for exactly 8 weeks and over 3000mi. I have a fast router right next to charger and I've never had a software update. But as far as I'm concerned I don't need one because my truck is absolutely flawless. I'm more worried a software update will screw something up. My guess...

I’ve had my Lariat SR for exactly 4 weeks and have 2000 miles on it. I’ve never charged it anywhere except for my own home. Yesterday I rolled the dice took a 170 mile round-trip. I started out with 180 miles of range available. Temperatures were in the low 30s and on the way the climate control...

Before you use silicone, I’d recommend some waterproof tape. If you know a carpenter, grab a little Zip tape from him or her. Then if you ever need to use the hole, you could probably just stick the key through it!

Me too. I’ve only had it for 3 weeks and haven’t had an OTA yet. So I’m rolling with the assumption that my Lariat is totally up to date.

Loving my Lariat so far. But there seems to be a weird audio phenomenon that I’m not sure if it’s supposed to be this way, or if it’s a problem. It’s 2 things actually and they might be related. When in CarPlay, if the phone rings, the sound comes out of all the speakers—as if it were music...

I’m just working my way through the Owner’s Manual and I see this: “With charge scheduling, you can improve the high voltage battery's longevity by delaying the start of charging and setting a maximum charging limit. Set your preferred charging times to be at least 2-3 hours AFTER your typical...

And thank you @TaxmanHog for your tireless volunteer efforts. Your knowledge and advocacy made the waiting bearable.
