Cool report, welcome to the forums! Just a word about the Payson (and Page) Circle K chargers. In my experience at those two, they never work with credit cards, but always work with the Circle K app. YMMV, of course, but I don't even try anymore and just go straight to the app. But it's good to...

I am not sure. I do have the replacement, and when I first had it installed it seemed solid. It's now doing some extra clicking that makes me nervous, and so I am done with it and am installing the rotary shifter. I did ask my dealer if it was a new part and they said they didn't know. Sorry I...

Ha, I am sure you are right! I will find a new place, and I'm really looking forward to getting that monstrosity out of my truck.

I've got the upgraded shifter, and I *think* it's the same, or very very close. The replacement started out feeling pretty solid, but is clunky again and makes a click when I put it in gear ... it's so frustratingly cheap and over-engineered. I've ordered the stuff for the rotary shifter...

Yep, would have been fine. I just parked the truck once for two months, like any other car, and it was fine. Did not disconnect the 12V, although maybe I should have. When I got back to it, it started right up.

Yes, I know, but it's only there for a few seconds. So it seems like it would be easy to show that status without pressing the lock button!

It looks nice, I like the new layout, but I am totally reading your cryptic response as we are about to get the ability to see if our truck is locked, not only parked; the ability to have a universal target charge slider, rather than a site-specific one; the ability to run PPO from the app; the...

This is what I did, plus swapping in an extra thick rubber seal at the bottom of the door. Works fine, costs $35 for the new seal, and took 10 min to recalibrate the door to not close all the way.

Great report, thank you! Somehow I had never heard of the Camping in America's City and Town Parks book, but I am going to buy a copy now.

Yessir, lived there for many years, still go back 4-5 times a year! The forest service roads of the inland northwest are my favorite places to drive my Lightning!

Long road trips definitely can be done, I've driven all over your state (assuming the last best place is MT), and in the northern reaches of Idaho, and eastern WA, and NV, and UT, etc. in my Lightning, just takes a bit of planning (and it's getting better ever month!). It's my favorite road trip...

Really feels like Ford is just trolling us at this point.

Agreed, it was a pretty positive review, especially for that guy, who tends to be pretty critical (which I like and appreciate). Actually I thought it was so positive that I was surprised at the end that he really didn't recommend the truck ... I think maybe he doesn't like EVs so much.

Oh, dang, good to know, it would really be bad if Ford stopped letting those OBD dongles work. I agree with you on ABRP, once you have it dialed in I have found it to rival the best route planning software I've ever used in an EV (which was in my old Tesla), at least in terms of accuracy and...

I use the paid version of ABRP and use an OBD dongle (https://www.obdlink.com/products/obdlink-cx/) so the app gets real-time data on my SoC and efficiency. I find that to be super accurate. ABRP lets you really dial in what you want: what SoC to be at when you roll into chargers, what ending...

Thanks for the write-up, OP. Your experience with preconditioning is the same as mine: it doesn't matter if you are road tripping. And the Ford nav is way too pessimistic. I really like ABRP with the OBD dongle, in my experience it's really accurate with predicted ending SoC and picking good...

Ah! Thanks, yeah, I mostly don't use plug and charge (because I have subscriptions to access lower rates that plug and charge doesn't allow me to access), but I didn't know these sliders ever existed. Thanks, good to know, appreciate the answer.

Sorry, I should know this, but what is the plug and charge slider? You mean the ability to change target charge when fast charging?

I live where 95F is considered mild. Never had this happen. If it keeps up I would take it in.
