My '24 came with 1.3 (I think, as they refuse to actually reveal that information) and I wouldn't give a dime for it. I found it not just of very limited value, but truly dangerous. I've finally gotten 1.4 according to the update notes, but I'll never experience it unless Ford gives a new...

All I can say is that there is a huge difference between putting Bluecruise equipped vehicles on the road vs paying customers. I'd like to see what the subscription rate is after people's trials end.

How do you get "Home Assistant" app to read information from your Ford account? I'm on Android and the only app that matches this name has the following logo and seems to be part of a larger system as when firing it up it expects to find a Home Assistant server to attach to. This would be a...

Every technology has it achilles heel. I don't carry my fob, so I made a spare key and hid it on the truck for just this scenario. I keep a small booster pack in the frunk and have put a quick-connect cable on the battery on the correct side of the BMS sensor so when (not if) this issue rears...

- Active Park Assist - Deleted from the '24 Lightnings - Wireless Charger - No, the charger is very slow and heats the phone up terribly - Sirius XM - I don't pay for this service as I have so many better options on my phone - Bluecruise - No, trial is up and I wouldn't pay a dime for this...

This appears to be some interesting FUD. Tesla counts an accident against FSD or Autopilot if an accident happens within 5 seconds of a disengagement whether it is a system disengagement or a driver takeover. 5 seconds may not seem like much, but I dare you to be at highway speed in traffic...

What battery monitor are you using?

Yeah "Bruh", not the point at all. Maybe have ChatGPT explain it to you. If you don't want responses to your remarks, then don't post them on open forums.

I agree. Nissan certainly took this position with my 2015 Nissan Leaf. A software defect would leave the telematics modem connected and never hang up at random intervals, but about once a week. This would flatten the battery, so every time I went to go to work or drive home from work it was a...

I agree, they should gift it to all of us for the life of the truck, but that's not what's going to happen. Ford is in the biz to make money and giving away free things is not on the table. In fact, giving us all free Blue Cruise costs them because if they give it to us, then they have to...

There is absolutely a future where Level 3+ Autonomy will be ubiquitous and every vehicle made will at least have it available, if not required, as an option. This will not mean there will be no crashes and there will still be injuries and deaths. The defect in this entire thing is not the AI...

Yeah, I'll eat my hat if FORD delivers on this promise in 2028. Current Blue Cruise 1.4 only works on about 3% of roads in North America, and not very well on those 3%. The landscape of competition isn't all that great either. Mercedes-Benz's DRIVE PILOT is the only Level 3 automated driving...

My iPod died an eon ago (or so it seems). You should be able to plug it into the USB port then go to sources in SYNC and select USB. You may need to put the iPod into Disk Mode via iTunes. It's all a PITA dealing with this Apple stuff now. Frankly I suggest ditching the iPod world and buy a...

Sounds like a great deal!

That is a very salient point. I have never in my life traded in a vehicle when purchasing a new one, I always do better with private sales. How would Ford have any idea what brand I was coming from? Maybe they are basing it on customer records from previous Ford purchases, but I did own a...

I'm part of the 74% simply because there was no other real competition at the time for a truck that was capable of actually doing truck things. My 2000 Dodge was toast after 24 years of faithful service and I had to have a truck. Through the process of elimination, the Lightning was the only...

I'd never consider buying a used rental car. Why? Because *I* have driven some of those rental cars.

Did you trade in your '22 or do you have 2 Lightnings now?

I didn't think I'd like it either, but I bought a '21 Tesla Model Y and I absolutely love the single-screen solution they have come up with.

That's a tough one. If my Lightning had to be replaced today, I would not give a moment's consideration to buying another Lightning, either new or used, due to the dim prospects for repairing the vehicle in the far future. EREVs are completely out of consideration. They are the worst of both...
