I put a disconnect within reach of the EVSE just for safety's sake, the brand-new load center installed in my motorcycle shop is only 20 feet from the auto garage where the FCSP is mounted.
If they have the engineering and parts stream figured out for a NACS port, that might be possible.
IMHO 2024 production is running until Dec 2024, but that could change.
Yes, they are still promoting the system when I was looking the 2024 specs on FORD.COM

Yes, they can do the BECM update in the field, but if the module test comes back with concerns they will probably recommend service soon, depending on the severity of voltage disparity.
Remove the negative terminal from the 12v battery, leave off for 5 minutes, reattach, you may need to manually close the Frunk and test first opening with the cabin button near the steering wheel.
Those numbers indicate they may have complete skipped / or didn't do the balancing correctly on the replacement pack to the mean of the rest of the modules in the pack! I hope it catches up over the next 21 days!!!!
I was listening to @FordVideoGuy stream tonight, Sarah covered a TSB/RECALL alert that is affecting the steering wheel clock spring on a variety of F series models 150/250 and potentially this may include Lightnings as well, maybe the replacement part(s) were defective ???
If the concern is letting it cool before charging (Austin TX heat season), set a schedule that allows for a couple hours of cool down, then commence with charging.
I operate under the premise that I ~might~ need the energy for an emergency long haul trip across my region, I also might need to...
Father and son, Lou and Walter LaPlante share the distinction of winning Henry Ford Technology awards. Lou received his award in 2003 and Walter in 2021. Walter, who was inspired by his father to pursue engineering, speaks to the way Ford believed in him and the type of culture he'd like to help...
Normal reminder that you're running just on the 12v battery, the systems will intervene at 40% SOC to bump the battery, you can "start" the truck to make it go away. If the icon remains while in RUN mode, then I would be concerned.
This brings to mind a common mode from ICE vehicles, when you...
