  1. Bittersweet traded in the lightning for power boost

    I am thinking about doing the same thing. I was trying to understand the differences between the versions (like which features are available on one and not another), but I could not find an answer on Ford's website. Can you help me here highlighting the difference between the trucks? Did you...
  2. Battery conditioning, is it worth it?

    Thanks. So preconditioning a Lightning is a waste of money. Good to know. Will start to pre-heat the cabin instead.
  3. Battery conditioning, is it worth it?

    I used another logic for my math. If I spend 2 normally, but I’m spending 1.4 now, it means I’m spending 0.6 more per mile. 25 * 0.6 = 15 more. If I used 8 to precondition I am finally saving: 15 - 8 = 7. I precondition more to have my cabin in a nice temperature than anything. When I get...
  4. Battery conditioning, is it worth it?

    It depends on the distance for sure. Preconditioning uses around 8kwh in my case. My commute is 25 miles each way, if I precondition I can get 2 miles per kw, if not I get 1.4. So in a 25 miles drive I could use 15kw more if not preconditioned. In the end I’m saving 7 kw and get a nice warm...
  5. FordPass 5.11.0 IOS Erased Time to Charge Completion

    This is Ford being Ford where every update is one step forward and two steps back.
  6. Would You Buy A Lightning Again?

    If they do not fix the software, then I would never buy another Ford in my life.
  7. Automatic Lane Changes introduced with BlueCruise 1.5 for Mach-E

    Who in the Ford company thought this would be received well enough from current owners? This is so frustrating.
  8. New BlueCruise Version 1.4 -- Smoother, More Natural Hands-Free Highway Drive Experience (9/26/24)

    Nice. Now, how many years until I can use it? I hope I’ll get the update before I sell my truck…
  9. Is Anybody Happy With Their Lightning?

    I’ve mixed feelings about it. I do love the ride quality and comfort, but I do hate the software/technology. I plan to sell it the moment that I can payoff my loan without taking more losses, but sometimes I’m glad that I’ve it (until some bug/problem happens and piss me off).
  10. Powertrain Malfunction/ Reduced Power

    60 days? Ouch! Why not starting the buy back program?
  11. Powertrain Malfunction/ Reduced Power

    I am having the same issue, but in my case I also lost power (turtle mode). First time they kept my truck for 22 days and said it was a software issue. Two days ago I had the same issue, dropped the truck into another dealer, and now they are saying it is a fault acelerador pedal. Both...
  12. Electrify America to only allow charging to 85%

    Tesla does a similar thing on very busy locations. When you start charging, the car automatically sets the limit to 80%, if you move past that you receive a notification asking you to avoid doing that to help others to charge. It’s a better approach once you still can charge to 100% if needed.
  13. Powertrain Malfunction / Reduced Power

    Just got the warning, no power when accelerating. Fortunately I was able to reach my work and will call AAA for towing it. Not even 3k miles on it. It is possible to have a buy back?
  14. Personal best mi/kwh

    My comute is 30 miles each way. Mostly highway with traffic (max speed is 70mph), my best score was 2.2mi/kwh even on higher temperatures (80f). I do not accelerate hard and I use only 1 pedal drive. But I could never get a better consumption than this.
  15. PTS/FDRS VIN Check Thread

    Thank you Javier. The update that I am missing, and includes the Tesla SuperCharger support, is 24-PU0119-DC-CHG4 (source).
  16. PTS/FDRS VIN Check Thread

    New to the truck world and Ford… Can you help me finding out if I have the Tesla update? Thank you! 1FT6W1EV0PWG63451

    How do I know if I have the Tesla update?
