Yeah, the Lightning is hands down the best vehicle I've ever owned. It's been more reliable than my Volvo's or Audi's, and it's way cheaper to charge than fuel with next to no maintenance.
No hesitation to say I love my truck, this is an annoyance but would never discourage me.
The reason I'm dubious of the part they're quoting me is everything says '25 Mach E. I know newer Lightning have a heat pump, but I can't imagine all lightnings went to a new mach e part and Ford just didn't update their part #'s.

It might be but I'm showing a different part from dealer - NL3Z-18E254-B is what they're telling me.
If it was a week or less I would bite the bullet on a rental. 2 months? Becomes a bitter pill to swallow.
Is that part the PTC?
Shut me down in middle of nowhere at side of the road about 10 hours from home.
Anyone have any luck convincing their non-home base dealership to provide loaner? This dealer is saying could be 2 months for the part. Ford is saying warranty on high voltage is parts and service only.

I've not found a halfway yet.
I downsized from 22 to aftermarket 20 (lighter weight) with Michelin Defender tires. My ride quality and road noise improved, and range improved from 3.2 to 3.5km/kwh.
The 22s are very very heavy.
I just recently did Defenders with new 20" Fast rims instead of stock. My mileage improved dramatically and road noise/comfort improved as well, likely between the unsprung weight improvements and increased sidewall.
