  1. First time using ABRP, some issues

    ABRP is best when used just as a planning tool for long road trips. If it chooses routes that I know are suboptimal, I'll use guidepoints to force it down the road I want. I've found its model for temp/windspeed/elevation change to be pretty darn accurate for the truck. I don't have the dongle...
  2. In the event of a battery fire, what is the fastest, easiest way to drag the truck out of the garage?

    One last thing from me as a firefighter who has had to extinguish several ICE fires. (BTW, I always comment how these gascars seem to always catch fire). If there is a full tank of gas, and it ruptures (as it usually does), we basically have to wait until it all burns off before we can truly...
  3. In the event of a battery fire, what is the fastest, easiest way to drag the truck out of the garage?

    Firefighter here. First off, ^^^^^^, this. Second, GET OUT! DO NOT GO BACK IN. Even with firefighting gear, we would never risk a human life to do this. Third, garages up to code have a burn-through time. Usually on the order of 20 mins to 1 hr. We can often save the rest of the house if...
  4. Tinting on Grill Pealing Away

    Mine hasn't peeled, but got small, circular chips from about mile 500 (I have 90k, now). It's obviously a terrible coating for a grill, and it's a shame that Ford won't make this right with a CSP. I'd rather have the non-platinum grill to this. My local line-x shop wouldn't even look at it for...
  5. "Weight Limit" Alert with a double chime

    Almost certain that it occurs when the truck thinks you're towing and the road in its database has some kind of weight limit. Given the glitchyness of ford software. This happens sometimes when you aren't towing.
  6. Lightning caught fire in Canada

    Two things. I've bookmarked this for when people mention EV fires: And secondly, I'm a (small, rural, but with 15 miles of interstate highway) firefighter and I've put out many ICE car fires and have yet to see an EV fire. (Every time I remark how these gas car always catch on fire...no one...
  7. Flaking on Lightning Front Grille

    My platinum has had small chips (probably averaging around 2mm) from about mile 500, but nothing like this. I now have almost 90k miles so I'm well out of warranty. I would really like to see a CSP to replace these grills. After all, platinum was a nearly $100k vehicle. I expected a much higher...
  8. Totally black out

    Let's eat grandma. Let's eat, grandma.
  9. FCSP Bit mining?!

    THAT'S why it gets so hot....
  10. Liking my Lightning... 100K mile trucks?

    Sorry...only 80k after 2 years. (23 Platinum). FWIW, battery health via FDRS was 98% when I looked a couple months ago.
  11. Dog Mode

    No, you still have to push it each time, but it's not buried in the settings. (Or reach into the bed an push the physical button on your way past :)
  12. Dog Mode

    If you have pro-power. You can just turn on the bed outlet and that will automatically disable the power-down timer. I think it's fewer clicks.
  13. Apple Maps EV Routing

    Updating Fordpass fixes this issue. Same observation as @robsherrard
  14. What data does ABRP use with OBD for range estimation? How good is it?

    I have 76k miles on my lightning including many long road trips and even pulling a teardrop camper from Southern Illinois through the UP of Michigan for 2 weeks. I use ABRP (pro) exclusively when planning long routes. I don't use the dongle. I have it configured so it is slightly conservative...
  15. what are the highest mileage lightnings

    76K miles. Battery SOH 98% via FDRS. (Just the numbers)
  16. I’m Concerned My Lightning Has Left Me Jaded.

    Best vehicle I've ever owned. (I have 74k miles on my '23 Platinum). As I was putting >$35 of fuel into my son's puny Honda Civic, I realized that filling my monster truck at home costs me ~$13 for the same distance...
  17. Zone Lighting on FordPass app

    When they updated the app to the 5.x series they rewrote it and dropped several extremely useful features that they have not added back in. The video, I'm sure, uses the older app. It had remote zone lighting controls, remote pro-power onboard controls, etc. It was a great loss that has not been...
  18. Lightning shuts off “to conserve energy“

    I believe it has always been this way. It's how I power a teardrop camper overnight. But you don't have to have a load on the outlets for it to stay on.
  19. Lightning shuts off “to conserve energy“

    If you have pro power on board. Turn on the bed outlets. That allows the truck to stay on indefinitely.
  20. Bluecruise 1.4 officially being sent out to F150 & Lightnings starting today (12/11/24)!

    "And we will have a screen so big that it will have a soft button for defrost 2 in. away from the physical button for defrost, but to turn off the heat will require three clicks."
