************************************ Sorry to hear that this happened to you as well. Looks like there was only a handful of us that this was an issue (More like a disaster :crazy: ). Was your vehicle fixed now? How do we find what version of the update that our truck was trying to download? I...

********************* I just got my lightning and went through your ordeal. I had to download the Tesla App which worked sometimes when the ford pass won't work. *****Also, not sure if your particular adapter has the lock on it. I wished I had a photo of mine. I'll take a photo when I'm on my...

************* I have been getting the stares from other Tesla Owners when I charge because I take up 2 spots. I can't help it if their darn cord is too short :LOL:

********************** Good to know about the "Active air dam system failure issue" - Thanks!

********************** I pray this does not happen again. I will get paranoid when the next update comes. I have the truck back with me now with no issues so far. I just don't know if they reverted it back to the old software. I have to check. I would want an updated software to fix any bugs...

***************** It was a really bad experience for me. I don't blame you for being paranoid at all. If it makes you feel better, there were not that many of us that got bricked. I wonder if they just reverted me to an older update. I have to check.

************************* That must be the update that bricked my Truck :LOL:

**************** Lol, they did give me a loaner for free (Ford escape) until I get it fixed so in fairness, I was able to still get around.

********************* Crazy how this can happen. It looks like a handful of us now had this issue. Mine had to be towed on 8/27/24 ? . By Friday8/30/27, Dealership said that the truck will start now but I had to leave it there for other issues like the Active Air Dam System Fault, the Full...

************************************ Happy to experience the fear and fulfill it on behalf of all EV owners out there ???. Ford did say the vehicle will start now. It is only staying with the dealership to fix other issues.

************************************************************* UPDATE ******************************************************************** UPDATE: I did finally get a call back from the dealership yesterday afternoon (8/30/24) saying that they were able to now turn on the engine after...

***************************************** Saw this on one of the post from one of the forum members (This is an awesome forum-hats off to the one that is running this):

************************ Glad you are enjoying your truck. I really appreciate your input in this matter. I though the same way as you, I didn't want to keep waiting for the perfect EV. I just thought the lightning was perfect for our time. I got a call from Ford dealership yesterday afternoon...

*********************** Sorry to hear about your ordeal as well. This was really a shock for me especially since this was my first EV and everything was working well. I had to even say I was loving driving this truck every day and how quiet and efficient it was until the day it wound not turn...

Got it, thanks!

************************************************************************** Thank for the info. It is sad to know that it would have taken only 5 minutes to fix this issue instead of a week like the dealership told me. They said they are having issues with downloading the modules. Was planning on...

******************* I am brand new to this forum. How do you send a private message on this?

****************** Not sure what update this was. I had my truck set to auto update so I didn't get a chance to see what it was. The "Update not successful" message on the screen did not mention what version of the update failed either.

? yeah, scary to think that an update could literally brick your vehicle. I was hoping that the system would just revert to the older software version if the new update would fail.
