This is what works on my 2022 Powerboost (value in red is normal on my truck)

Polarized prescription sunglasses. Early on, with the Powerboost's original Bluecruise eye-scanning code, was quite frustrating. Enough so that I Forscan-disabled the "wicked witch". But with the recent BC related updates that included CMR code, I turned her back on so that I could see for...

I did about 7 hours straight to Accessory Mode FDRS updates with the Clore 20 Amp Power Supply/charger. FDRS sat at 13.3-13.4 the majority of the 7 hours. Admittedly I kept the headlights off every time the truck rebooted. And I had HVAC off. I did leave FM radio on just to keep up with what...

That's $2.20 lb. Still cheaper than hamburger? :) Edit: I missed a zero. Oops That's $22.00 lb That's still cheaper than Wagyu Ribeyes.

You might try a recalibration procedure? I know FDRS has the procedure, but I believe Forscan does now as well. I know my Powerboost at times will attempt to find/adjust to the Lane Centering. This is described as ping-pong, or wanting to hug the right line way too close for comfort...

There's just no sensor available to confirm your hands are on the wheel. The nag has no choice. If you get really soft handed, you can adjust to the smallest of inputs to satisfy the torque sensor. Certainly small enough for your tires to be completely unaware.

Everything I've seen regarding 1.4 is that if you even barely like 1.0, you'll be ecstatic. If you aren't impressed with 1.0, you'll likely give Ford a nod of respect. Of course none of that is actually addressing the complaint of this thread. The eye scanning witch isn't Bluecruise. She's...

Ironic too, since the Leaf battery catches so much smack for its lack of thermal management. Definitely an issue for those use case scenarios that can torture such a battery. But there are so many Leafs that enjoy a long life in a low stress environment. I would indeed want the equivalent...

I'd say that you MUST be younger than this old man. At midnight I am well aware that I have less words of wisdom that would hold up well under scrutiny. Heck, I'm counting sheep at midnight. You are still doing just fine, in my opinion.

"Public charging" & "private company" both uttered in the same debate. In my simpleton mind, it's gotta be one or the other. And I admit that they both might be managed and incentivized entirely different. Public charging, I'd argue, would be an accurate term for a tax payer provided and...

I guess I'm glad that there aren't folks pondering various ways to influence my decisions at the dinosaur fuel pump. I can buy 1 gallon, or top it completely off, and nobody is giving me the evil eye. EV fast charging stations sound like potential high anxiety places to be.

Oh I think the Bolt is a perfect scapegoat. I drive a Leaf. I'm just happy the Bolt has diverted the whipping elsewhere. 🤣

This is just one thread on this forum that represents an amazingly wide spectrum of Lightning owners. I don't know if there's currently another EV on the market with a more diverse ownership profile.

I thought the title was about the vehicle. Instead, it's the vehicle owner. I wish Ford offered a vehicle that is the equivalent of the Bolt.

I don't have a Lightning, but even in a much slippier EV, which I normally get 4.1-4.3 miles/kwh, if I am at 70-75 it drops ~25%. If it's wind in my face, it takes a sizable hit as well. I can imagine with a brick that's getting 2.X m/kwh in ideal conditions, dropping to 1.6 would be normal at...

No possible way I would have ever guessed. Very interesting. Thanks

Not me. But I'm a network guy and POE has been 48V for years. Is there a diminished return beyond that?

That's very encouraging. Good job.

I try to give Ford the benefit of the doubt when possible. I certainly can't on this. It's ridiculous, but I bet if you could just get access to someone with the necessary authority, you'd get the discount. Problem is, nobody cares enough to make the effort to get that OK on your behalf. And...

I think it is and is isn't. I mean, I live where there's an F150 in every driveway. It's a Texas Camry, so to speak. The missions range from getting worked every single day like a packmule, to "it's my wife's truck". The Cybetruck could get it's butt handed to it by some F150s, and it would...
