Once the batteries start going out of warranty people will be making a killing selling modules from salvaged Lightnings. What is Ford asking? $14,000 per module? You'll probably be able to get $5k per module. How many does the SR have? 6-7? As a long term project, parting this truck out...

yes, it’s a massive improvement!

Well, the Supercharger network is now open. The Tesla app shows 4 stations north of manchester open in the 93 corridor. Tilton, Ashland and Thornton. Then St Johnsbury (technically off 91). Too bad still nothing on the Rt16 side but the Tilton supercharger is right at the split to cut across...

75kWh in 38 minutes. Just shy of 120kW avg. not bad. The adapter was slightly warm when the session was done. Just a little warmer than ambient.

Doing my first session now. First pedestal wouldn’t work but second one did. For the second one i used the Charge Assist app (first time ever) in the truck. It showed all the Tesla pedestals and allowed me to activate the pedestal from the in vehicle screen. The battery wasn’t warm but it worked...

Glad to hear it worked. I’m going to try my A2Z soon but haven’t had the chance. I see that the plug and charge update for my truck is pending for tonight. I’ll probably try both ways though i doubt i’d pay the 12.99/mo unless i knew i was going on a roadtrip. Looks like it takes about 100kWh...

Great report!. I've been fondling my A2Z adapter all day... 😄

Well, i was in bed sick all day and missed the fun. Got in around order 26,000. I figured this is what the rollout would look like…which is why i bought the A2Z adapter on pre-order. ;) if i can muster the energy i’ll go give it a shot at the supercharger a few towns over. very nice to see our...

I checked, i do have 4.32.1. I forced closed my app and restarted. I don’t know if there’s a way to clear cache on iOS but it let me edit the departure times in any case. I delete the two times i had saved. We’ll see if it sticks.

Anyone else having problems with departure times not updating or not working? I had turned off departure times a few weeks ago, maybe over a month, but it keeps resetting itself and i’ll find my truck preconditioning in the morning again, i turn it departure times, then it happens again. Now it...

Almost exactly the same story here, slightly shortened time frame. Dropped off 2/5, picked up 2/16. They took care of all of the recalls that were open (I believe). -HVB module (Module 1, Cell 6 failure) -Battery monitor sensor (BMS) replacement -Windshield wiper motor replacement -Rear light...

@tommolog can you try to get some info on Ford limiting DCFC speed to 120kW for 2024 Lightnings?

I’m wondering if this is the protect the batteries. If you look in the “Issues” forum, quite a few people (myself included) have had to have HVB modules replaced. They may be eliminating the “boost” charging to protect from module failure. This is total speculation but we have had a surprising...

Well, i had it happen two different times at 65% after draining down to under 60%. That was all the info i had available. I agree it’s not likely to be a consistent problem but since they didn’t even try to charge it i wanted to make sure things were at least, marginally, functioning.

I let the truck get to 70% at the dealer before taking it. I had to go to the mall (with EA station) from the dealership so I stopped at the EA station to give it a charging torture test and get the SOC up. Of course the station was full when I got there (two Lightnings there! A first!). I...

I’m at the dealer to pick up the Lightning. I dropped off last Monday so 10 business days to get the truck done*. They test drove it but didn’t try to charge it to ensure it didn’t have a charge fault (which was happening at 65% before i dropped it off). Now i’m sitting here while the truck...

It’s kind of sad to see how many early owners, who have been on this forum since before the trucks shipped, have had major issues. I usually don’t put a lot of weight in people’s accounts when they join a forum to bitch about a problem they had but in these cases it’s people who were here from...

You don’t have to get the EV plate. I just used the regular plate from my previous vehicle (which was also an EV, actually). I didn’t feel much need to advertise that the vehicle is an EV.

You can get replacement taillights in ebay for around $600. If you take the sensor out of your existing light and put it in the new light then you don’t have to get anything programmed. That’s what i did when mine got smashed. Saved me nearly $2k when you include the visit to the dealer.

Oslo isn’t nearly as cramped as most european cities and most of the country is very rural. I’ve spent a lot of time in Norway for work. The Lightning would be fine there IMO.
