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.
With the warmer weather comes better mileage for want of a better term. I can get 2.5, 2.7 and even 2.9 but never 2.6 or 2.8. I thought last year that those were attainable. Anyone else notice this?
Yesterday I was returning our insurance loaner and had to fill up. I have not pumped gas for nearly a year and for about 30 seconds I couldn’t figure why it wouldn’t pump. I realized there are many more steps to this process than “plugging in” the pump hose. I returned the hose and started...
The more I drive my Flash the more I’m confused why most of the truck people I know aren’t driving one. They rarely tow and complain about filling up. Wonder what it will take for them to make that jump.
This is the cabin air filter? I was just talking with another Lightning owner how nice it is to not have to pay for engine air filters and oil changes, etc.
I had some time to kill between appointments yesterday and was near the Ford dealership I bought my Lightning at. I drove around to see what the inventory looked like. There were lots of ICE trucks and suvs but not one Lightning. Is that typical?
Having the same issue ever since the last software update. I can’t use the ford pass app to set charge times but I can’t use use the app that goes with my charger. It’s weird. Not only will it not follow the times I chose, it picks different charge levels and says it will be completed days...
Does everyone have some form of off peak power? I have solar panels but almost all of that goes back to the grid. I charge at night for less than half of what I get paid for what was produced.
