@mb0220 - thatās the exact opposite of my observations.
Just drove 350 miles yesterday with my ā23 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...
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...
I havenāt 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...
If you are looking for Ford to ācontact youā, thatās not likely to happen.
Assuming you purchased your Lightning ER after early Aprilā¦. 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...
Iām wondering if itās 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...
Why not have a tow dolly on the lead vehicle, put the Lightning front wheels on the tow dolly, and use the Lightningās 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...
While not a 3D print, I created a color matched logo for my front license and had it printed on an aluminum sheet.
Iām happy to make the image file (jpeg) available to anyone interested
Color matched Lightning** front license plate
** Logo copyright Ford Motor Company
if youāre interested in the same for your truck, send me a PM and I can send the image file.
Whatās 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...

Est. ship by September2024

Based on the recently posted timelines, 88671 should be sometime in 2027!
Thank goodness I purchased (and received) an A2Z adapter
Iād greatly appreciate the files if youāre wllling to share them. Easiest to send via a PM.
With that said, I see itās pretty easy to purchase a custom printed aluminum plate off the internet.
Iām thinking that may be more prudent, as Iām not sure how the 3d printing will deal with temp...
The LED idea needs to be explored to figure out if itās viable (material, lighting, power source, etc).
In the interim, Iād 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...
How about a front license plate w lightning logo (for trucks that donāt require a State license on the front)
Iām 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.
How has your FM radio reception been while the antenna is under the cowling?
Iād like to consider doing this to get the antenna out of site. Of course, Iād have to come up with a filler / cover for the standard install spot.
