I have a 24 Premium to go along with my 24 Flash Lightning . The wife drives the Mach E more than I do, but we both love the comfort and driving it is very enjoyable. I suggest the premium or higher because I found the interiors to be way more comfortable, although the cloth in the select isn't...
I guess I am a really big exception to all the economic situations then!? I live in CA, yes, expensive electricity, BUT WAY MORE EXPENSIVE gas, currently pushing $6/gal....normally around $4.5/gal. I drive a F150 Lightning about 300 miles a week and charge it nearly exclusively overnight because...
I glanced at the tools she was using. It was a laptop and ODB 2 type dongle with a cord directly to a USB C port. I thought about probing a bit and asking what other 'cool' things that she could do with those, but I thought I would be better off not.
Maybe if they send the same tech next visit I...
Had a really good experience with Ford Mobile Service today. The technican, Delilah, showed up on time to do a software update for the parking brake recall. She was fast, friendly and efficient. She had actually been scheduled for my F150 Lightning for today, but she noticed that my Mach E was...
Recently drove my daughter's car from Seattle to California, it's ICE, man I didn't even realize how much gas stations stink! Every time I stopped to fill up it reminds me of how many benefits BEV have. No stinky winky.
The wife and I had always had Toyota vehicles, loved then, and still do, but....
I am a traveling vehicle inspector in CA, and I often rack up 200 miles in a day, the wife travels 50 miles a day to work, and CA gas prices are ridiculous. We did the math, and we basically worked it out that we...
Awesome!
I actually have seen quite a few people buy one, then the other like we did because of how great their 1st vehicle experience is. I admit that there is more to set up and learn buying EVs, but once you get everything set, ownership is great, easy, and economical.
Congrats on your 2...
There is a potential for software learning I would suspect, but I also suspect that at least part of it could be that you are not using brand new tires anymore. The stock tires a what many dealerships call 'softies', which are super grippy and soft for extra performance and quiet ride, which...
Best truck I have ever owned. I travel for a living, and have always had a truck, although different brands and the Lightning is way better for me. It's easy and comfortable to drive, little maintenance and surprisingly economical over the big picture. My wife loves it, and we both agree that we...
Nice color choice! I have the 24 Flash ER with the same paint. 23k miles after a year, still absolutely love the truck, confident that you will too.... Welcome!
Yes, criminals do know where it is, but the Ford pass app does the same, for free, and is built in. This means the aftermarket tracker is handled separately and includes 3rd parties. Yeah.... No thanks, it doesn't do enough things or anything revolutionary that you don't get free and non...
Here is what it is, definitely a tracker.... Not a budget one either, so it's likely they charged for it in some hidden line in your deal paperwork. If they didn't disclose it anywhere, you may want to take it out, and return to the dealership with it in hand and start asking questions, since...
Same reaction when I see everyone crying about gas prices on the news (and they should be). I live in Central California, home to top 3 gas prices in the USA, and a political mess of taxes.
I also have family members that will scramble to find the lowest gas prices and drive a couple extra miles...
I just passed the 20k mark. I do not hear a single squeek or rattle in mine, but, I have a 2024, so maybe Ford fixed these little things before my model year. That being said, I also have had a fantastic experience with the truck. I travel medium distance for a living (thus the 20k in my 1st...
Yes, the carplay/android auto and Bluetooth in general are very spotty. I just gave up and started plugging mine in, lol. That is literally my only negative as well and I am a year in with my Flash ER with multiple road trips.
Yep, Flash ER Lightning!
My other vehicle is a Mach E Premium SR, they are both in my profile Pic.
I am happy to say that, despite being SR, the Mach E is a pretty good road tripper too! I chose to drive the Lightning on this trip because I had 5 people going, so the cargo area was important...
Yes, I actually have been to that massive station in my Mache E Premium SR. I was going south from Vegas and stopped there in January. I liked the mall and restroom entrance right by that giant station!
I didn't take the 'Lone Pine direction' from Yosemite because of the lack of public charging...
