  1. Noisy Air Conditioner (or Outside Fan)

    I had the same problem. I changed the interior air filter and filled the coolant reservoir near to the max level and it does seem the loud fan noise has decreased quite a bit.
  2. Replacement Tesla Adapter Shipped

    I haven't received shipping notification for my replacement adapters yet, but FedEx app does show two return labels for both defective adapters have been prepared. Sooo close, now.
  3. Battery won’t charge beyond 72%

    I was able to save a copy of the Car Scanner Pro file (.cbz) I use on my Lightning. It is, however, formatted for Sync via my stand-alone CarPlay device. I was able to reformat it to fit the Android phone if you want to run Car Scanner Pro from your Android phone. I can send you copies of both...
  4. Battery won’t charge beyond 72%

    Yes. I use Car Scanner and run it from a stand alone Car Play device that I keep plugged into the USB port. That way it autostarts everytime I start the car and I can keep my phone in my pocket. I'll see if I can download a copy of what I built.
  5. Battery won’t charge beyond 72%

    What TaxManHog said. This is the exact behavior my 22 Lariat exhibited after a battery module swapout. I took mine back to the dealer and they called back the same day and said Ford told them it would take 21 days for the truck to relearn the correct battery capacity. I would run it down to...
  6. Software controlled range.

    I've seen a consistent winter loss of ~40% with both my Lightning and my Mach E over 2 and 3 winters, respectively. Both vehicles have winter tires and are driven on the fast side of average. It appears both vehicles don't get much worse than that regardless of temperature. I'm guessing that's...
  7. Has anyone used the TOYO OBSERVE GSI6 WINTER STUDLESS?

    Yeah, I went out and checked before I posted to make sure. I received them and had them mounted last week, so apparently mine are this year's model. My local Ford dealer's Quick Lane installed them. The downside was the $460 shipping cost to Alaska, but we don't have sales tax here and I did...
  8. Has anyone used the TOYO OBSERVE GSI6 WINTER STUDLESS?

    I agree with Mr. Magoo. You've probably ordered something else by now, but I had Tire Rack deliver a set of the Nokian R5s for my Lightning Lariat here in Fairbanks. Absolutely love them. Outstanding grip on ice and MUCH quieter than the all-terrains it came with. I took a picture of the...
  9. Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 SUV 116T snow tires installed - first impressions and range result

    Mine were installed Friday. The roads are very icy here in Alaska right now, but based on some very limited driving, they appear to be head and shoulders better than the factory installed all terrain tires I've skated around on for the last two years.
  10. Planning for home backup power

    You have multiple beer fridges in your hangar?
  11. Reduced power with no Fault code

    Yes, I should have added that the traction display is showing both motors working properly (even at 19%) and I have checked coolant levels. All modules have been updated via FDRS as of last weekend. I do believe the power limit is related to the battery module replacement as I ran an FDRS...
  12. Reduced power with no Fault code

    Sadly, not just an oddity. I've had my power fluctuating all over the place since I had a battery module in my 10,000 mile 2022 Lariat ER replaced 6 weeks ago. It has dropped as low as 19% when I was trying to pass another vehicle. Not good. Available power will be 100% immediately after...
  13. Lightning Extreme Cold Weather Highway Performance?

    I've been driving both the Mach E and the Lightning here in Fairbanks for multiple winters (Mach E x3, Lightning x2) and can answer 'yes' to both of your questions. I've submitted several threads about my experiences with the Lightning, including...
  14. What SOC level does the Lightning start limiting throttle?

    The key point here is your battery module swap. (Most of your replies are just describing the normal temperature limiting.) I got my truck back after a battery module swap and had to immediately schedule a return appointment. Here is the written description I supplied to the service...
  15. Is there still no way to leave climate control running?

    Yes, the potential car thief won't be able to shift out of park, but my concern was them breaking the driver's window to get into the vehicle before they can discover that critical fact.
  16. Is there still no way to leave climate control running?

    And don't forget to turn off the headlights and select the calm screen on the center display. It not only saves a tiny bit of battery energy, it makes it less conspicuous to any potential car thieves that there is a running vehicle ripe for easy pickings.
  17. NACS Adapter Now Available + Ford EV Owners Can Now Charge on Tesla Superchargers in U.S., Canada! ?

    You hit on it when you mentioned the other OEMs. It would be business folly to allocate your entire production rate to a single OEM. If Tesla did, it would be years before owners of other model CCS EVs got their adapters. You can be certain their production rate is\will be much higher, but...
  18. Thoughts from First Lightning Road Trip

    You took your work laptop on a ski vacation? You should be ashamed of yourself.
  19. Location and sizing of Generator Plug

    In reverse order of what you asked: The only circuits greater than 30Amps that most typical houses might have are Air Conditioner, electric clothes dryer, electric range, and electric baseboard heaters. If you have gas dryer, gas range, and\or a gas furnace, there is no need for a 50A...
  20. Dealerships Not Working on EV’s They Didn’t Sell?

    A lot of dealers are having difficulty finding and keeping good mechanics, esoecially EV trained mechanics. If you are short-staffed, and over-booked, who will you turn away first?
