So, in the note they included in details after the latest update was installed, it said that we now had access to streaming services. When I looked at the Entertainment menu, though, I didn't see any changes. Has anyone else seen/tried this? I Ford is listening - maybe add a "how to" to the...

That was a nice feature in Teslas...you could create a trip in Google Maps and send it to your Tesla. It was flawed, though, because it only let you use the default route that Google found first. Any changes you made in maps weren't transmitted. It's handy, but to today...if you are using...

Thanks. That's about what I thought.

I think you have to put some of the blame on DC. The new administration has proven willing to do anything to squash anything that goes against big oil and coal, and has worked furiously to label climate change as a "woke hoax." I'm sure that besides cancelling any incentives, they have done what...

Yeah...unfortunately, Ford is apparently thinking of getting rid of the Lightning altogether. If that happens, watch for support, new features, etc. to fade away.

OK, I'll bite...what makes these better tires for EVs?

I like the idea of a solar array. I asked a guy at Tesla service once about that idea, and he told me that I'd have to tow an array on a trailer just to get enough juice to keep the battery level steady while parked. I don't know enough about capacity etc. to challenge his assessment, but it...

I only have experience with my '24, but I haven't had any of those (slow heat, noise or vibration), and I drove it all through a Maine winter. It worked fine.

So, I have Audible and some music apps on my Android Phone. Using Android Auto, I can play them. I also have Sirius, and some FM stations I like. If I'm on a longer trip I usually listen to an audio book or music playlists. For shorter trips, I will play a Sirius or FM station. The problem I...

It absolutely will work with bluetooth, but I usually plug it in anyway, so I can charge the phone while driving. Of course, if you just use the charging pad, you don't have to plug in.

Wow, thanks! That's all very helpful. I only ran out a couple of times...usually the worst possible times, late at night when a lot of gas stations were closed (olden times...no self-serve pumps).

Well, you do have to be a little more careful. In the 50+ years I drove ICE vehicles, I was pretty cavalier about it. I can only think of a couple of times I ran out of gas, but when I did, I could call AAA and have them come out with a can and bring me 5 gallons to get to the next station (or...

I live in Maine; it does get cold here; maybe not as cold as when I lived in Minnesota. In Minnesota, though, it was a DRY cold. Here in Downeast it's a damp cold. I bought my 24 Lightning at the end of 24, so from the discussion I guess I have a heat pump. I also heat my house with heat pumps...

On 4 and 5, I struggled with this, too, after four years of driving a Tesla. Ford apparently just decided to go with the lowest common denominator for the Nav system, which looks like MapQuest 1998. I have an Android phone, and 90 percent of the time I will use Google Maps via Android Auto. For...

Could it have something to do with how long it was open? I haven't noticed it on my tailgate, but it seems that if I leave my Frunk open for an extended period of time, it doesn't want to close. I get a repeating pattern of two beeps ("beep-beep-pause, beep-beep-pause," etc.), and I have to...

I just got the message this morning. Tried, but no luck. I had to delete the old key, and apparently the new key downloaded, and the app tried to connect to the truck, but couldn't? I tried a wired connection, with a usb cable. What does "connect" mean? Android auto is working, so the phone is...

I tend to be a lead-foot. However, I live in Downeast Maine, and unless I drive an hour + to the interstate, most of the roads are two-lane, with a max speed limit of 55 (and two-lane traffic often keeps you at or below the limit). Many of the towns along that road have limits as low as 25. In...

So, is there anyone from Ford listening? I ran into a bit of this a few months ago when I needed work for a factory recall. My dealer was booked for months, and the next closest dealer told me that they don't sell or service EVs anymore. I finally found one that could accomodate me, but I had to...

Well, it's all annoying compared with BlueCruise hands-free. How often do they update whatever maps or algorithms they use for that?

I'm not really sure. I, too, expected my dealership to charge my truck after service (but they didn't) and so I asked if I could plug in there. They told me that their chargers were only for dealership use. I was disappointed, but again this was a while ago. Tesla never charged my vehicle after...
