  1. What's your Miles/kWh average so far?

    2.2 after 8500 miles. Probably half expressway of 65 plus, and half on the road. One long trip of 600 miles round trip all expressway. Ohio weather also plays into that. I bet in a warmer state, I would be closer to 2.4.
  2. Rock vs windshield

    Suffered two rock chips in the first 6 months of ownership. I think these windshields magnetically attract rocks. Had Safelite do the first, $150, then I bought a kit for the second.
  3. 18 month old Lightning first road trip

    Nope, this suits me just fine. First time driving more than 100 miles in 18 months. Wasn't worth the $20,000 for me to get the larger one. I have the stock Pro, which ended up at about 47k after the rebate. It fits my needs to a tee.
  4. 18 month old Lightning first road trip

    This is Ohio, in March, driving 70 to 75 MPH. You will get about 160 to 170 miles with 100% charge. Big cities have the best assortment of chargers. Columbus, from home is about 120 miles, Dayton is about another 50 miles. Wasn't going to reach that. Also, most chargers slow down after 80%, so...
  5. 18 month old Lightning first road trip

    For sure, but if you noticed, I ended each leg near 40 mile range. Would have been way too tight with only 80 percent.
  6. 18 month old Lightning first road trip

    Wife and I made the trip from Akron Ohio, to Indianapolis Indiana over the weekend. 2023 standard range Pro, total trip of about 300 miles. I had never charged anywhere except home, prior to this. Intended to stick with the Tesla chargers, as I was more concerned with reliability than price...
  7. Curious why some do not use 1 pedal driving.

    I would try one pedal drive in a heartbeat if I didn't also regularly drive a gasser. I think it would be difficult going back and forth from 1 vehicle to the other
  8. An Update on Your Forum Experience from Ford Motor Company

    No. Not only that, but responding to the Ford chat on your phone is pretty useless also. Both were just a big waste of time from my experience.
  9. I’m Concerned My Lightning Has Left Me Jaded.

    Regarding letting the wife driving the Lightning. After owning mine for several months, my wife's car was in the shop so I let her take the truck to work that day. Later on, when I got home, I asked her how she liked driving the truck. Her three words response was, "I want one!!"
  10. OTA Software Update - 10.1.0 - It's karaoke time

    Got mine in my Pro yesterday also. Don't think this will enhance my experience at all
  11. OTA - Getting the latest software update -- a FIX for stuck downloading process

    I heard or read somewhere, that updates are only downloaded when the battery is at 85 percent or more. I recently changed my charging settings to 90 percent, and have gotten two updates in the last ten days. I also do not have Internet service at my house, and not sure if that affects it either.
  12. Level 2 Charging Best Practices?

    This has been covered in other threads. I believe the consensus was that smaller charges are better than larger ones. Not sure about coat efficiency, but mY hunch is it is better to stop at 80 to 85 percent rather than go to 100.
  13. Connected to Charger Error & Won't Shift Out of Park. Lesson learned: carry a 10mm wrench (to disconnect battery)

    I had something similar happen 2 weeks ago. Happened on my 3rd stop also. Pop up said something about accessory power? Did not have a wrench, but googled and found a hack that worked. Let the shifter retract, then turn off the power for 2 minutes. After getting home, I was prompted with an...
  14. My lightning got BRICKED with the software update. WILL NOT START.

    Something similar happened to me a few weeks ago. 2023 Pro, 5000 miles. Drove it about 10 miles to my mom's house, all was fine. Went to leave 20 minutes later, truck would not shift at all. Screen has a pop up that said "Accessory Power Active". Called service center to talk to a mechanic, but...
  15. JuiceBox (Enel X Way North America) to cease operations effective October 11, 2024

    Bought my Juice box a month after I bought my Lightning. My travel charger crapped out, and I bought the JB new on eBay for about $230. It has worked flawlessly from day one. I don't have wifi, so connectivity for me isn't an issue. I use the Ford app to set charging still
  16. New pop-up messages when starting truck

    I considered disconnecting the battery, but had no tools whatsoever. I will probably put a crescent wrench in the glove box for future use
  17. Ford Resumes Shipping Fast Charging Adapters (Sept. 2024 batch)

    Mine arrived today. Never got any notifications. Number was approximately 14000 ish
  18. New pop-up messages when starting truck

    Foot was definitely on the brake. The pop up message was the most glaring difference. Still not sure what it indicated. Then getting home and seeing the message indicating the truck couldn't be driven until the software update.
  19. New pop-up messages when starting truck

    Disturbing to me that such an urgent update wasn't immediately updated. Indicator said truck couldn't be driven until update, which wasn't scheduled til Monday. I was able to manually change it to today, but am still baffled that this is acceptable.
  20. Ford Resumes Shipping Fast Charging Adapters (Sept. 2024 batch)
