  1. Can you activate PPO without having to keep the truck "running" the whole time?

    Yes, I remember that I saw an ad for the 2024 Lightning Flash on YouTube when I was still thinking about looking for an electric truck. They were pointing out that the Flash was the one to get because it had a lot of some of the main features of even the Platinum level truck (like the PPO...
  2. Can you activate PPO without having to keep the truck "running" the whole time?

    Then you can walk away and use the remote to turn off the truck again right; with the PPO still on. Locking the truck does not abort the "stay on while truck is off" thing? I'm still learning how to do this now that I bought a fridge for it. I left it on while the Mrs and I were in the...
  3. Why does my Ford Pass app tell me my lightning is "on"?

    If I select Vehicle along the bottom - it opens with this screen - it either says vehicle is "on" or "parked". I've seen it say "parked" sometimes but usually it's says it's on, even if it isn't.
  4. Why does my Ford Pass app tell me my lightning is "on"?

    I think it has to do with the fact that I rely on my wifi to get in touch with the truck from the app. No cell service at all. So, I know the truck is off because this has happened to me several times. But the app says its on when I first bring up the app on the "vehicle" page. Anybody...
  5. What power source in Lightning is best for fridge?) .

    Where does it say in the Lightning manual that there has to be a constant draw on the PPO for it to stay on? On my 2024 Flash all I can find is setting the power limit low enough so it will stay on.
  6. Charging Rate Limited in the Heat?

    Recently I charged up my 2024 in my garage with my ChargePoint 50 at 48A The cord to the CPH50 were warm which is unusual. I have to say that I neglected to set the charging limit down. Meant to charge to 80% but it is set to 100% by default of course. So the charge was at 90% when I went...
  7. Charging Hwy Robbery $2.20/kwh @ 60kwh rate.

    I know when we leased the two EVs we have now (an EV6 and an F-150 Lightning) the dealership charged it up to 100% before we drove it off the lot. Maybe when they do more and more they have to charge lots of $$ to make up for it. I think the reason a lot of dealers show up on, for example...
  8. What power source in Lightning is best for fridge?) .

    I thought when you said the PPO is unreliable, I thought you were saying you can't depend on it staying on. Sounds like you are just referring to the fact that one has to remember and go through the motions of setting "keep power on" button. Is that right? I say that because I read one post...
  9. What power source in Lightning is best for fridge?) .

    Just bought a 53 quart portable freezer/refrigerator. It came with a 12VDC power cord to plug into the cigarette lighter. Also came with an A/C adapter cord. In my 2024 Flash I can utilize a couple of different ways to power it on short trips such as to town ( about 1 hr. 20 min one way) I...
  10. I converted my Lightning from AWD to a 4x4

    Not sure this is the right place to post this, but talking about lifts and such: My 2024 Flash came with an 8 X 10 piece of paper with a picture of an in bed camper; saying that having one of those in the bed is not recommended due to center of gravity issues. Seems like with the heavy battery...
  11. Walmart EV Charging Network to Blanket US. First Charge Experience & Review

    I like using my EV6 app to monitor my charging so I won't get any "idle charges". Warns me when it's nearly done and when it is done. Several times I had to speed up my shopping so I could get back out to the car. I love it.
  12. FordPass App 5.18.0 for Android & iOS has landed

    I just purchased a new iPhone and I guess it already had the update; it says it has version 5.18.0. The only thing I see different from the one on my iPhone 8 is that now when I tap on "connected services" it goes to show me what I can pay for and what I'm getting (such as connected navigation...
  13. FordPass app on iPhone in error

    If I open the Ford pass app on my phone, on the first page where it shows Vehicle, scroll down and it says "connection services". When I press on that it goes to a screen and it just spins. Also on the Vehicle screen, it shows the Blue Cruise sign up thing in a large frame, and also the Blue...
  14. No Lightnings at Local Dealership

    It was a good truck; a Rebel with leather seats; 6.5" bed; red Rebel interior; E-torque 5.7 liter engine. Hated to part with it. The gas wasn't the big of a liability (depending on the price at the pump.. high in Idaho) but it's just so damn convenient to charge at home in my garage. The RAM...
  15. No Lightnings at Local Dealership

    What made the diff for us was the $7500 (and other dealer incentives) made our lease affordable. I was under the impression that the credit was a "non-refundable credit for which we would not qualify. But it was paid to the dealer upfront. In fact, my payment for the lease is less than my...
  16. Tesla destination chargers level 2?

    I bought one for my 2022 EV6 Wind. A Tesla Tap w/pigtail. Bought it, left it in the car, and have never used it. Don't even know if it works. I should go to a parking garage or something where they have a Tesla Destination charger and just see if it works. A lot of them used to be free, but...
  17. Missing Bolts...SMH!

    I just completed a safety recall for the upper control arm where the nut could come loose. Mine is a Dec. '23 build but a 2024 model. Fell into the recall time frame. Yeah, your's sounds like whoever modified it didn't do a very good job. Did you notice it in the ride?
  18. FordPass app on iPhone in error

    I'm going to go out to a solid cell tower area and try a reload of the Fordpass app. It's almost like it's downloading partially, not completely which seems weird to me, but what do I know. If it were a bigger problem I'd try it. There is such an area not that far from me. Or wait until I...
  19. BlueOval Charge Network adds IONNA

    Did you use the Blue Oval Network? I set it up when I got my 2024 Flash back in September; used it once - actually kind of by mistake. I tried to use my EV6 Kia free hours at Electrify America and, I guess because the procedure I used, when I used my iPhone it reverted back to the Blueoval...
  20. FordPass app on iPhone in error

    Gateway module: ECG: 24.2.5.7 Thanks for leading me through this FWIW. Yeah mine ended in 7 w/o the last "1"
