  1. How pessimistic is the Mi/kWh display on the dash?

    @mb0220 - that’s the exact opposite of my observations. Just drove 350 miles yesterday with my ā€˜23 Lariat ER. Flat Interstate driving, I-95 thru North and South Carolina. Cruise set at 65 the entire duration. Temps 66-75. No notable wind or adverse weather Mi/KwH shown on display was...
  2. BlueCruise issues - turns on and off

    I find that BC requires: - Limited access divided highway - Well marked lanes It quits (without notice and sometimes resulting in a hazardous situation) when: - Divided highway ends - Lane striping is poor - Around entry / exit ramps, if they are relatively long - Sun glare - There are sharp...
  3. Moving, and taking FCSP with me

    I would install a 50amp dryer outlet, and swap the breaker to 50 amp.
  4. Overheating Ford Mobile Charger

    I haven’t seen this issue, but an interesting test (to me) would be having a small fan blow across the unit when it is having heat issues - to see if this alleviates the problem. If it does, it should be possible to craft a better heat sink that would assist in drawing the heat away from the...
  5. Unplugged during DC charging

    If you are looking for Ford to ā€œcontact youā€, that’s not likely to happen. Assuming you purchased your Lightning ER after early April…. your Dealer has to submit the paperwork to Ford to initiate the process to receive the Charge Station. Once this occurs, Ford will send it to your home. The...
  6. Panoramic sunroof gasket failing - 2023 Lariat ER

    Well, that wasn’t my dealer’s response. Full moonroof swap out was done, under warranty. Took about a half day
  7. Lightning / EV calculator

    I’m wondering if it’s possible to integrate average speed miles/kWh into the tool? For example, when highway driving at 65 mph, I typically see 2.1 mile/kWh while at 75 that will drop down to 1.9, etc. If avg speed data could be stored locally in a cookie (probably start with some crowd...
  8. Tow to charge?

    Why not have a tow dolly on the lead vehicle, put the Lightning front wheels on the tow dolly, and use the Lightning’s rear wheels for the regeneration? That approach would provide a solid connection between the two vehicles (greatly reducing risks) while still providing access to the rear...
  9. 3D Printing Fun

    While not a 3D print, I created a color matched logo for my front license and had it printed on an aluminum sheet. I’m happy to make the image file (jpeg) available to anyone interested
  10. Pics of Lightning Trucks Doing Truck Things. Post Yours! šŸ“ø

    Headed out to get a load of gravel with my dump trailer
  11. šŸ™‹‍ā™‚ļø What Did You Do To Your Lightning Today?

    Color matched Lightning** front license plate ** Logo copyright Ford Motor Company if you’re interested in the same for your truck, send me a PM and I can send the image file.
  12. Tesla adapter for FCSP

    What’s the point of having a CCS1 connector on the FCSP anyway? I believe that is only using the j-1772 portion of the CCS1 plug, so the 2 DC pins are pointless, when using the FCSP - correct? If that is accurate, it should be pretty straight forward to replace the CCS1 plug with a J-1772...
  13. Update: F-150 Lightning Fast Charging Tesla Adapters Start Shipping TODAY Per Ford!

    Order #FAE:90088671 Est. ship by September2024 Order Placed: 4/8/2024 Based on the recently posted timelines, 88671 should be sometime in 2027! Thank goodness I purchased (and received) an A2Z adapter
  14. 3D Printing Fun

    Thanks! No need to split the model
  15. 3D Printing Fun

    I’d greatly appreciate the files if you’re wllling to share them. Easiest to send via a PM. With that said, I see it’s pretty easy to purchase a custom printed aluminum plate off the internet. I’m thinking that may be more prudent, as I’m not sure how the 3d printing will deal with temp...
  16. 3D Printing Fun

    The LED idea needs to be explored to figure out if it’s viable (material, lighting, power source, etc). In the interim, I’d be very interested in a non-lighted version, blue lightning logo on red background (that works for me, as my truck is red). I also like the contrast blue on red vs the...
  17. 3D Printing Fun

    That’s sharp looking! I could also envision a version that is backlit (LEDs) assuming that a 12v source can be located and tapped.
  18. Unidentifiable Trim Piece

    I'm pretty sure PIA means Pain in the Ass, or at least that's what it seems to be for the OP!
  19. 3D Printing Fun

    How about a front license plate w lightning logo (for trucks that don’t require a State license on the front) I’m thinking of a blank sheet with a Lightning bolt in the center. Blank sheet in black (or the truck color - Red in my case). Lightning bolt logo in Blue.
  20. Stealthy amateur radio install

    How has your FM radio reception been while the antenna is under the cowling? I’d like to consider doing this to get the antenna out of site. Of course, I’d have to come up with a filler / cover for the standard install spot.
