  1. Google maps with Carplay now integrated with driver display for some. Possible "fix" is in post 40.

    You are my hero!!! That worked. Immediately when I toggled that option it showed up. Even after toggling it back off it stayed there, which is super awesome.
  2. Google maps with Carplay now integrated with driver display for some. Possible "fix" is in post 40.

    Ugh, this is intriguing and frustrating to me. I strongly prefer google maps to apple maps to the point I bought a pixel to test it as a phone I could just leave in the truck but having two phones just didn’t work for me. Just tested mine and it is still not working. I even tried wired carplay...
  3. 3,800 mile winter trip, new learnings

    I've been seeing the same of late but when I step on the pedal I can't say I feel power lacking. It serves mostly to remind me to try to not hammer so much on the accelerator if I don't want to stop to charge. Great writeup! One question: why not let the truck cold soak then charge first thing...
  4. Announcing: Tesla Superchargers + Connected Navigation

    I think it’s easy for us to forget how revolutionary it’s been that nowadays our phones, computers, etc. get better after we have bought them through software updates. Cars are getting that way but that is a seismic shift. Eventually the manufacturers will realize that it is a good thing and...
  5. FordPass v5 unresponsiveness resolved by removing saved location

    I think I ended up needing to disconnect the negative lead on the battery to reset everything.
  6. OffRoam Phone Mount

    I have blue cruise and was able to mount it low enough to not interfere. I preferred it on the passenger side vent but the dog kept bumping it off.
  7. OffRoam Phone Mount

    It’s my favorite mount. I use their spring loaded one and it holds the phone very securely even off road yet super easy to pop in and out of the holder.
  8. My Goal: to never pay for charging (Solar) -- my automation process

    That sounds like a decent price for such a capable system. It will be interesting to see if you have any stretches over the winter and into spring rainy season that you can’t keep up with demand but seems like so far you are using utility power very little. Very cool.
  9. My Goal: to never pay for charging (Solar) -- my automation process

    Very cool. Are you willing to share total investment on the system? I wonder if you’d be better off charging the truck when home batteries are lower than 99% as you can still treat the truck as another battery in an emergency (or run of cloudy days) and it might reduce duty cycle on the home...
  10. Can you actually get the screen's clock to stay in 24-hour mode?

    Mine is a mixed bag. Sometimes it reverts back to 12 hour and I need to change it and sometimes it changes back to 24 hour on its own. I have no idea what’s making it change. I just had a thought that maybe it has to do with profile whether I am using phone as key or the physical key. Will need...
  11. F-150 Lightning outsells the CT in Q4

    Spot on. I love my lightning and thought very hard about the GMC for better range and faster charging. Ultimately, I prefer the lightning in every way over the GMC except for the range and charging advantage that GMC has. And honestly, I could happily live with current range if the charging...
  12. SOLD Southeast PA Mongoose cable

    Am I off on the price or does everyone who needs one of these already have one or is it just Christmastime and everyone is broke from buying presents? Open to offers.
  13. Tesla app vs Ford app, which is cheaper Supercharger rate?

    Plug and charge is super convenient. I really wish I could do the monthly membership when I need it and attach it to my VIN so that plug and charge would work and charge me the membership rate. Right now I have plug and charge turned on when charging very rarely but when doing a road trip I...
  14. Rough Country Power Running Boards Install and Thoughts after 7mo / 10k miles

    Has anyone noticed any change in efficiency with these? I wonder if they affect aerodynamics in any meaningful way.
  15. SOLD Southeast PA Mongoose cable

    Selling my Mongoose Plus programming cable for Ford. It has worked flawlessly but now that I have my truck just how I like it I am hoping I will no longer need it. Asking $450 shipped. For someone local I’d be open to also selling my PowerMax 100A power supply for $275. It was fully up to the...
  16. 2025 Ford Lightning @ 4% UNDER INVOICE

    That's very cool, thanks. I am not shopping at the moment for for future knowledge once the truck is delivered can sale be completed remotely then have you have the car shipped to the non-local owner (I saw that you don't do courtesy deliveries to other dealers, I mean just booking a vehicle...
  17. Ownership Experience - 2023 Lightning Extended Range (LER) to 2024 Sierra EV Denali (SEV)

    Great write up, thank you. I wonder how much more efficient LER could be with recessed door handles and more aero running boards. Little things like that hanging off the side can make a big difference. Maybe smaller side mirrors that can extend out when towing and getting horrible range anyway...
  18. 3323 mile round trip Northern AZ to LA to Vancouver, WA -- Fantastic vehicle.

    I’m 100% with you on everything except uncertain on your first point. From all I’ve read and playing with trip plans on ABRP, it seems like usually driving faster and charging more often saves time in theory, though it does in fact waste money. However, if arriving faster is the main priority...
  19. Tesla adds longer cables and more to Superchargers as non-Tesla EVs complicate things

    I had to charge at one Monday evening. I pulled in and the place was packed and I was stressing about waiting for an end charger or having two people right next to each other leaving at the same time. Then I noticed the long cable. Worked like a charm.
