My first car was a Ford fiesta which nearly always topped 40 mpg when that was really rare. I think every vehicle I’ve had since then has gotten just a little worse mpg. I waited 3 years for Ford to work out its lightning bugs. Realizing now that that’s probably never going to fully happen, I’m...
Just had my 30,000 mile checkup and the original tires still have 9/32nds. I asked them to check again as this seemed unlikely but they were correct. So much for EV tires not lasting. Our ICE CRV had to have new tires about 25,000 miles.
I’m in the middle of a long road trip and just yesterday I said thank you Jim Farley. As a retired couple, traveling this way is a dream. We really spent no more time at the chargers than we would have to fill up with gas, stretch, go to the bathroom and grab a quick bite from the cooler. The...
I love road trips. We’ve driven across the country many times but this will be the first time not in an ICE vehicle. I know what to do to prep for that trip. What should I do to prep for a 4000 mile Lightning trip?
What is the best app that you have found for road trips. I assume it will plan out chargers so you don’t get too close to 0. Also preconditioning the battery would be nice. I’ve got 20,000 miles but have only charged at home.
Had mine done last week when they rotated tires. They actually picked it up at my house did the work and returned it. Since I’m about 20 miles away I appreciated this.
Another victim of the dark console (sounds like the bad guys in a sci fi movie). It’s been raining here since mid may so I originally thought that must have been the culprit. I’ll try the wait awhile, different key fob, pull 13, lvb disconnect and dealer. Hope it resolved on one of the early...
I pulled my bulky pontoon about 25 miles the other day and didn’t even notice it. I’ve borrowed others ICE pickups to tow it before and it felt like I was pulling a sled.
I was doing a quick fast charge at Ford last week and chatted with an employee charging one of their vehicles. I was expressing my satisfaction with my Flash and he said Ford really went above and beyond with the battery and they’re starting to realize just how long these things may last.
