  1. Ford Dealerships refusing service to Ford lightnings.

    If I were you, I'd do what you are doing..... post your story to every social media outlet you can get to. Make them famous. Facebook, X, Ford Forum once a month, and a local billboard if you can afford it.
  2. Charging While Driving Works w/ Gas Generator in Bed (Range Extending for F-150 Lightning)

    Yes, we all would like the extra battery in the bed option. It's hard to believe it's not an option yet. LiFePO4 batteries are so darn cheap these days.... and they are tough, and won't burn. You could build a decent battery pack yourself or buy one ready to go. We just need someone to offer...
  3. Headlights Switching Itself Out of Auto Mode while on Bright and 'Bright-lighting' Oncoming Vehicles

    Here is an update from searching for info about this problem from Grok-3. AI is so much better than a Google search. RecommendationSince this is a known defect covered by warranty, take your 2023 Lightning XLT to a Ford dealer as soon as possible. Reference SSM 51058 and describe the exact...
  4. Headlights Switching Itself Out of Auto Mode while on Bright and 'Bright-lighting' Oncoming Vehicles

    2023 XLT LIGHTNING Has anyone had the issue of your Auto headlight mode kicking itself into manual mode, and the issue causing you to bright-light on coming cars. When I catch the problem in time, I switch the bright lights off using manual mode using the manual stick. This is happening...
  5. Buying a Used Lightning with High Mileage - Need Some Input

    Be careful. It's nice to have a safety net on this new technology. I consider myself a beta tester, and I have a low mileage '23. However, I love my truck and I'm willing to put up with a few hiccups. Battery packs don't last forever. But, some last a very long time.
  6. Great News..... Sodium Ion Batteries Are Coming

    But you have to appreciate the billions of dollars going into the development of ́new and better batteries. Look at where we were 3 years ago vs. today. LiFePo4 is displacing Li-Ion, and they are safer. Something new is always around the corner, and that's great for us. Soon, we will be...
  7. Great News..... Sodium Ion Batteries Are Coming

    You can bet there will be replacement batteries/packs for the old fashioned Li-Ion packs. It all boils down to demand and the potential to make money. I'd be willing to pay for an upgrade that gave me more range for the same size pack and can't catch fire.
  8. Great News..... Sodium Ion Batteries Are Coming

    CATL, the largest manufacturer of automotive rechargeable batteries, has developed a rechargeable battery that's very close to the energy density of Li-Ion, and the cells are made using sodium instead of lithium. It's a game changer. The Na-Ion batteries could cost as much as 90% less than...
  9. Charge Port Door Lockpin Replacement

    Thanks for sharing. Posts like yours save us from the greedy manufacturers. Every little bit helps.
  10. Charging While Driving Works w/ Gas Generator in Bed (Range Extending for F-150 Lightning)

    **************** I consulted with Grok-3 about the derating of a generator in Tulsa, OK on a 100'F day. Here is my question?: If a carburated 9.0Kw continous-run-rated gasoline generator running on 10% ethanol gasoline is run in Tulsa, OK at 800ft above sea level, what the most Kw it can...
  11. 12 Inch Versus 15 Inch Screen

    I really like the 12" screen layout over the 15" Android/IPad glued-to-the-dash look. The Lariot and Platinum trim package should offer up the 12" or integrate the 15" screen into the dash. I don't think I'd buy a truck with the non-integrated screen. We can't let Tesla influence us so much...
  12. Drunk Driven Mach-E out of control

    I read on 'X' that the police reported the driver was under the influence and no issue was found with the vehicle. Has anyone seen the same report?
  13. Ford Lightning Pro Power Onboard failure on the last weld of the project

    Not all power loads are created equal. You could have a highly inductive load that's very hard on the inverter. Also your welder could be creating a lot of high frequency harmonics that's backfeeding into the inverter. Harmonic pulses can cause the voltage on DC bus capacitors in the inverter to...

  15. Super Range!

    Quarry dump trucks that mine on a mountain and come down loaded are in regen mode all the way down the mountain. They are fully charged from the regen on their trip back up the mountain while empty. These dump trucks use electric drive and batteries and never have to charge for this task...
  16. Charging While Driving Works w/ Gas Generator in Bed (Range Extending for F-150 Lightning)

    You are making an accessory that many Lightning owners would likely buy. I am very interested in purchasing a kit or finished product for my Lightning. Ford should be interested in pursuing this idea too. This helps solve the problem of range anxiety. This could be a million dollar idea...
