Dealers are absolutely a problem. My local dealer screwed me over on my original reservation. After promising me I could order at MSRP and no markups, the tried to pull the sell my order to themselves so now it's a used truck with a massive markup swindle. I laughed in his face when the sales...

'22 Lariat. PaaK is unreliable with one, two, or three setup phones.

Anytime you hear "labor shortage", translate that to "Shortage of compensation for labor" instead. I've seen it in my chosen industry, and I'm sure it's the same here. If they want the labor, make sure there's enough compensation and people will show up. Yeah the C suite and shareholders might...

I'm in exactly the same boat as of a few days ago. Looked at changing my deductible and it doesn't math out vs just getting it fixed out of pocket I suspect. Agreed that a dealer would just farm it out to a company like Safelite most likely. Might as well cut out the middle not person. If...

I picked other, because.... I purchased my '22 Lariat used in June of this year, from a very very very warm place. So I already suspected the 12V might not have a lot of life in it because I know what that kind of temps does to lead acid chemistry. But winter temps up here are even worse. As...

~120V @ ~12A (aka a 15A NEMA 5-15 "wall socket" derated by 20% for continuous load) is ~1.4kW. If 1kW of that is consumed with heating, then there's only ~0.4kW net to charge with. So yeah, not even a mile per hour. It would help if the battery was already warm from a drive (keeping it heated...

Your coolant heater is shown as 1kW. As it gets colder L1 may not be able to supply enough energy to both keep the battery warm and provide much additional energy to get into the pack....

Thanks for the thorough write-up. I'm amazed they let you into the shop to see any of the process, but cool that they did. Best of luck with repair....

Doing an electrical service upgrade at a family members' house in preparation for a solar install. Power has to be off about 60 hours between lineman appointments with an inspection in between. Rigged up a temporary power inlet using a 14-30 cord, generator inlet box, etc. Had to lift the...

My guess is because 80A is the highest contemplated by the J1772 specification.

This is Kodi. She's a bit of a back seat driver, always telling me to go drive into the pasture towards any deer she sees.

Charging Lightning now from a Troy built "5000 running watt" open frame, non inverter generator. The EVSE I'm going through is limited to 16A, which should be capable of ~3.6kW. However, the truck has backed itself down to ~2.4kW, I assume due to the dirty power/ periodic voltage sag when it has...

Is your splitter pure electric, or electric over hydraulic? Either way, stall torque / near locked rotor conditions drives the voltage sag way down. All the lights in my house dim if I run my electric over hydraulic one to full open and keep on on the open command on the lever, for example...

Thank you for the detailed reply. Follow up question because I'm honestly too busy to track this down myself at the moment ... Does Ford sell or share any data to anyone else, partners, etc?

@Ford Motor Company - What is the correct combination of SYNC settings, opt-in/out, Ford account settings, etc so that we have: - ALL of the possible Ford App and Account features working, AND - ZERO data being shared with third parties*, especially LexisNexis and similar data broker scum? (I...

Just for testing purposes, can you turn that last setting one on to see if the missing energy screen functions come back? Mine came back pretty immediately, less than 5 minutes IIRC. Then you can turn it back off if you still think it's your best move, but at least you know what the issue is...

I was not even contemplating trying to run the frunk movement. Literally just enough volts to wake the truck and get the HVDC to 12V converter to start carrying the load. At least that's my theory after only owning the truck for a few months. I'm still thinking about it with the knowledge I had...

That's a cool idea. Also means easy access for a jump pack if the 12V is too dead to release the frunk, yesno?

According to my investigations with an OBDII reader and Car scanner app, the difference between where my ER battery indicates 99% vs 100% is between 4 and 5 kWh. Also takes about 4 kWh used before the displayed SOC comes back down off of 100% to 99%. The rest of the percentage steps are arround...

Did you disable location sharing or any other privacy things on the truck itself? During the days of the older app, I turned something off in the settings screen of the truck itself and lost the same data you're missing. I'm exhausted so can't remember the exact name of the setting, though...
