Interesting. So T3 is canceled, too.
So this means Ford is completely getting out of the EV full-size pickup game for a while.
And an EREV means maintenance, right?
I understand WHY the dealers don’t want EVs, but I can still blame them. Anyone who actually test drives a Lightning and an ICE F150 would see the difference. But a salesman knows the path of least resistance is telling the customer to just go ICE.
I blame the dealers. They’re not incentivized at all to sell EVs, they want people coming back for service appointments. If they put in even a little effort, they could explain that an EV is better for most buyers.
I got that CSP for the front sensors but the back right has been acting up since we got the car. Going back in for that later this month, may have to remove the bumper to change a sensor.
My Lightning went in for a HVB issue and I hoped they would fix my frunk opening issue and a parking sensor issue.
The notes from the tech are quite laughable. They “changed the height” of the frunk (as if I didn’t try that a dozen times) and then cleaned dirt of the parking sensor.
Safe to...
My ‘23 Lariat is at the dealer for this now. 22,500 problem-free miles. Then we got a “Powertrain malfunction” and “high voltage battery warning”. Dealer service dept confirmed it was a module today. Part is ordered.
I really, really hope this isn’t going to be a chronic problem.
I got a Fordpass notification today!
…not Bluecruise 1.4. It’s a powertrain fault and high voltage battery warning. Cool cool. I guess the dealer will look at that on Monday when they are diagnosing my frunk that only opens one foot now.
Possible for the dealer to also update my car to have 1.4?!
Soooo...is 1.4 just not coming for most of us? I have a 2023 and am stuck on an earlier version without lane change.
I know it rolled out to some in May (?) but seems to have stopped.
I’ve long wondered what the major difference is with the Platinum, being a Lariat owner with electric running boards and the sunroof. Always seemed like the seats were essentially it and that mostly is the case. A better sound system is always nice, though!
Yeah I really do think a lot of the issues with sales comes from the salespeople. I wonder how many people wander into a Ford dealer considering an EV and are talked out of it by the sales rep. It’s just easier for them to sell it instead of explaining that you actually save money over time...
