Someone on Facebook reported that their charge port lights were not coming on. I remembered that there was a setting to turn them off that is referenced in the manual but he couldn’t find it on his Pro and I can’t find it on my Lariat. Did this setting get removed in a SW update or are we...

I ran across the following post on Facebook from mayor David Mitchell of Bridgewater, Nova Scotia. The town of Bridgewater has been using a Tesla for the last year and a Lightning for six months. It’s an extremely well written summary of their experience so far and it has been very positive. So...

I’m using the new Apple Maps integration for the first time this week and I can’t find a way to filter charge stations. I want to just see DC fast chargers but it shows all level 2 chargers too. When I look at the settings it has both J1772 and CCS listed and you can’t change it. I’m trying to...

If you’re looking for a New Year’s resolution make sure you learn the difference between a kilowatt (kW) and a kilowatt-hour (kWh). 😀

There are several forum members who are part of the Duke EV Complete Home Charging Plan so I wanted to start a thread where we can share experiences. As part of the plan we are able to charge up to 800 kWh per month for a fixed charge of either $19.99 or $24.99 depending on your location. If you...

There are plenty of horror stories on here about dealers so I thought I should post about a positive experience. I contacted my SA at Capital back at the end of September to get the lightbar, dash mat, BECM, and heated steering wheel updates done. They got the parts on order and contacted Ford...

Apparently that’s what 10 microns looks like.

I attended the Drive Electric Week event held at NC State on September 27. It was my second event there and between the two I’ve gotten to check out a pretty wide variety of EVs including a Rivian. I can definitely say that I picked the right EV for me. After experiencing the Lightning Frunk I’m...

This weekend tropical storm Ophelia came through North Carolina. On Friday night I went ahead and plugged the truck into my transfer switch in case we lost power. We never did lose power but it did flicker a couple of times just before bedtime so I went ahead and switched over instead of having...

I took my truck in last week to get the carpet replaced. There was a defect in the weave and a hole was starting to form. It took about a day and a half but they did a great job and it looks as good as new. I filled out the survey this morning and gave them high marks but did complain because...

The North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality has awarded the second round of funding from the VW settlement for new DC chargers. The locations have started showing up as "Coming Soon" on Plugshare. I downloaded the list and created this map showing all of the new sites. These sites...

There was an article in the Washington Post this morning that Wal-Mart announced they were going to add charging to more of their stores. I kind of hope that they run the network themselves instead of partnering with EA. I think the chargers would be better maintained if the local store managers...

Last week I tried to take my truck in to have the modem TSB (23-3050) done. Before I took it in I asked MikeG to run my VIN and it showed 4 modules out of date. He doesn’t think I have been getting OTA updates. Anyway, the dealer had my truck all day Wednesday and again all day Friday but did...

I took my truck in today to have the TSB 23-2050 performed and they did not update anything due to SSM 51389. When I search my VIN in the service info section I get the TSB but the SSM does not show up on the list. I’m trying to sort out if this SSM applies to the Lightning or not. If it...

This past weekend I installed a Generac 6852 transfer switch to power my house from the pro power 240V plug. The 6852 is designed for a bonded neutral generator so it works perfectly with the Lightning. My main electrical panel is at the meter base. In the main panel there are the maximum 6...

Last weekend we took our first road trip from Raleigh, NC to a family get together in Myrtle Beach, SC. We almost didn’t take the truck because there are only two DC chargers in Myrtle and looking at Plugshare they both seem to be broken. After some more planning we decided to take a chance...

Did the ‘22 model come with the little pop out washer on the front camera? I noticed that my ‘23 does not have it and I thought I saw a post earlier that showed the washer on a Lightning. Did Ford delete the washer on the ‘23s? I have a 510 Lariat so maybe it was only on the 511 or the Platinum.

The first MY23s are being delivered but there is still no Owner’s manual on the Ford website. Has anybody found an updated manual?

Just curious if anyone has any recent data on how long it takes to get the factory bed liner after the blend date.
