While great, this is not news. The leading Li-Ion battery researcher Dr. Jeff Dahn from Dalhousie has been saying this for years because he has the data that proves it.
The president of Ford can drive any vehicle they make. Jim is a self describe "Petrol Head". His daily driver is an F-150 Lightning.
Personally, I'm 55 years old and have been driving since I was 14 and got my driver's license the day I turned 16. My Lightning is BY FAR my favourite...
Sorry - but here is that science thing again - you can't get away from it.
If your truck is "REGEN" as you put it - it is taking energy away from its forward momentum and transferring it to the battery. It is slowing down - also known as braking. It does not happen any other way. The...
Wrong. In the real world we DO live by scientific rules solely. Period. End of Story. If you are trying to win an optimal energy transfer argument by not applying the rules of basic scientific theory you are going to have a bad time.
We don't live in the quantum world (or better said, the...
After reading this thread I see that the amount of people who believe that 1-pedal driving is some magical regeneration mode is too damn high. Someone mentioned that they have "never touched their brakes in a month" with 1-pedal driving. I don't 1-pedal drive, but that doesn't mean the truck...
This isn’t your range - it’s some wild (and obviously wrong) guess at what your range will be. Want to know how far you really will go? Just use your battery % and ABRP. City or highway. Flat or massive elevation change. Speeding or not (be sure you put that into your settings). ABRP will...
I'm very confused - if you are doing so much road tripping why did you by an electric truck with the smallest battery? I think EVs are great, but if someone needs to travel long distances quickly or have a desire to tow long distances they really should not get a SR Lightning. As I posed...
I've done two +3,300 km trips in my Lighting in the past two months - so I'm very confused about the folks who think this truck has a "lack of range". While road trips are a little slower with additional and longer charging stops -- the access to the Superchargers, superior comfort and amazing...
This is great advice. Even lower SOCs in the summer. Sure - if you want to have 75% battery health in 10 years - do what OP does. However, if you plan to keep your truck a long time and/or just want to adhere to smart battery management so the next owner has a healthy battery - then follow...
Why would you want to know the position of you vehicle other than when it is turned off? (Unless, you want to track your husband/wife/kids - but that is not what this is designed to do).
It looks like those bollards are In a bad spot. Here in Canada most of the bollards have been removed making pulling in quite easy (of course, you still block a stall for our Tesla friends unless you can get the right most stall)
Everyone here is speculating ... I don't know why. Jim Farley has addressed this issue head on. The TLDR is that Ford tried to save a couple hundred bucks by outsourcing too much - it means you have hundreds of companies involved in software interactions with nearly every truck component...
