Yes! Last year we had two major hurricanes hit here in South Georgia. My family lost power for about 12 days total between the two storms. I live in a very rural area with a deep well that goes to my home and my mom's home next door. I used my Lighting to power both homes. My house was with an...

I updated in my '22 Lightning yesterday. The PAAK update worked without issue, but the new backup passcode is failing with a "see dealership" error after entering the new password twice. I haven't started looking for fixes yet, but will report back if I find out anything.

Wow, I'm impressed with this system! I want one :LOL:. It seems very "plug and play" with impressive specs! The only downside I can see is that the controller/inverter is always the top module, thus if you start with one battery the wiring and pipes will be at height 2. If you add another (or...

I'm guessing it's this one. It's pretty nifty looking and would be great for camping. I like the idea of being able to install it and break it down without help. https://flated.com/products/full-short-cap56?_pos=4&_fid=08a9a1180&_ss=c

I've been exceedingly pleased with the 1.4 update. I've completed multiple 100 mile trips on Interstate 75 (exit to exit) without ever touching the wheel. I use the automated lane-change (gently pressing the stalk) to pass cars and it's been rock solid. This has been from exit 41 up to Macon...

From all reports so far the vehicle will have to be in park and the iPhone will automatically disable all video should it "detect motion". These are both good precautions. Ignorant people will always find a way around safety (and sanity). The point is adding value and entertainment while...

Very interesting article over at 9to5mac.com indicates we'll [hopefully] get video playback from apps on CarPlay when parked! This would be fantastic! I'm hoping Ford enables this feature and the major video apps are updated to support it. Charging and grabbing a bite to eat would be much...

A vehicle fire is never a good thing and I always feel bad for the people involved (both the owners and the firefighters). My uncle is a firefighter and has seen some horrendous things from crashes. I _always_ thank firefighters whenever I see them. They have a very tough job, both physically...

My ‘22 Lariat ER was purchased July 2022 and now has 62k miles. It is easily the best vehicle I have ever owned. It was expensive, but based on my plan to keep it 10 years I should break even if not come out ahead. The value of this trick is unmatched. I’ve had the standard recalls and the rear...

I've had that issue in my '22 Lightning and the hub's '23 Mach E with our iPhones as well. Another solution that usually fixes the problem is to hold the "volume down" and "next track" buttons on the steering wheel to reboot the Sync system and let it reconnect to the phones. Having said that...

Yes, it's definitely a mix of a database and actual sign recognition. There is a section of Highway 41 that is clearly marked 45, but the database overrides that to 55 several times when speed sign recognition is turned on. There is another section in front of our technical college where...

I agree that @Ford Motor Company should do more to advertise the Lightning. At a hair under 3-years of ownership and over 62k miles I could not be happier with the truck. It has powered my home and my mom's home next door through two cumulative weeks of power outages after the hurricanes last...

General Grabber HTS60 275 60 R 20.

General Grabber HTS60 275 60 R 20. I rotate them every 10k miles and make sure they are inflated properly. I have had to plug them a couple of times due to road debris, but that's not the fault of the tire. https://generaltire.com/tires/light-trucksuv/grabber-hts60 I checked the manufacturer...

My 2022 Lariat ER is still on the original tires at 61k miles. I'm extraordinarily impressed with them, though I do not accelerate or break hard. I suspect I'll replace them in the next 6 months. I want to get the same (or better) efficiency with new tires, but I would very much consider the...

Like many of you I charge at home because the cost is 1/4 to 1/5 of what it costs to charge at public DC fast chargers. BUT. I make a few extended trips a year and my patterns have definitely changed. I no longer get supplies (snacks, sun screen, etc) before leaving on a trip. Instead I only...

So The Verge had an interview today with Ford software chief Doug Field. I think the article goes into a lot more detail on what canceling FNV4 means and the direction Ford is heading. Overall I think it may be the right move for a legacy auto manufacturer. The devil will be in the details and...

Here is my current 360 display. Do I need the additional update, lol? Feels like there is a lot of black space around the view that didn‘t used to be there. Many thanks for input!

Follow up with observations after driving a few days. 1. BlueCruise is much, much more stable on the interstate. I noticed my Lightning "ping ponged" more than hub's Mach-E and though it was b/c he's running a newer version of BC. I'm sure that contributes, but Sparky is noticeably better after...

Report from the very short drive home. 1. The hands-on Bluecruise stayed engaged on my entire road. Previously it would disengage (and not reengage) at a bad curve. It handled it all correctly, which was very surprising. My road has not been maintained very well and the lines are a challenge...
