it gave me errors but still posted. sorry for the spam
finally got my truck back only took them 5 days to replace the port. replaced my USB ports in front, they stopped working. I also see the replaced the battery tray? and recharged the AC?
not able to touch the DCFC pins on charger when they are powered up as they have to be plugged in to...
I have a problem with plug and charge in Ford as they charge a 20% fee. you are not able to get the EA membership price if you are a member. I turned it off and my charges are cheaper.
unless they can fix the software it will continue to fall. Most EV manufacturers are failing with the software. they have not realized EV's are about the software. where as ICE is about the hardware, ie. sound, shifting, buttons, violent moves, ease of gas filling. EV's are what can the...
I use my ford to charge house batteries off the 240 volt plug during periods of no sun for a week or more. added a plug to my inverter that fits my Honda 6000 watt generator and it is the same as Ford plug. I used a 50' extension cord to go from truck to inverter. works perfectly.
finally got the charger port at dealer took truck in yesterday. said it would take 3 hours. took car in at 12pm came back at 4:30pm and they said it will take at least another 4 hours. so we had to leave it and they will call on Monday when finished. at least they offered to bring it to our...
my turn signal stay down and I have to pull it up. the CT has it on the steering wheel, which I have fallen in love with.
we are going to trade the lightning in for a model X plaid when warranty wears out. hopefully they will still have the free supercharging for life that we got on the CT...
that is awesome battery health for 3 years. my average is 2.3mpK for 30k miles. we do live in the redwood forest mountains. going downhill to bay area I see 2.7mpK, coming home its 2.1 mpK. if I am going into post office I see like 15mpK all downhill. coming home its 0.9mpk.
after owning my lightning for 1.5 years I bought a cybertruck. the software is better, the charging is faster, FSD, dog mode, premium connectivity (can view cameras on phone), rear wheel steering, better suspension (can raise and lower height of truck) has auto raise and lower when getting in...
I would guess the heat pump is only used for battery pack and air conditioner. where previous trucks had air conditioner, electric heater, and heat pump for battery pack. so 3 systems before now only 2.
Tesla only has one system for all. the octovalve controls everything.
just what we need another EV that spews toxic fumes. tired of having to breath car exhaust. my lungs and eyes burn everytime we have to travel to the Bay Area.
VW is laying off people and top executives being jailed for diesel gate. they have no sales in China. this has already been tried...
I have been waiting 3 months for a new charging port on my 2023. the 2 black rubber protectors on the CCS portion of the port somehow came up missing. most likely stuck in some CCS charger plug. this is a problem because you can get electrocuted by touching both at the same time. can still...
I agree the Ford software is horrible. the nav always takes me to dead end roads, private roads with locked gates. I use Apple Maps and ABRP (a better route planner). both can add NACS and CCS chargers.
I just upgraded to a cybertruck. best sound system of any car I have owned. better than BMW, Audi, Porsche, Mercedes, Lexus, even better than my old Model Y performance. still have the lightning.
