what are the highest mileage lightnings

[awilli1010]

Early ‘22 delivery Lariat with 72k miles and running strong with last deep analysis of pack SOH at 95.5% and a LOT of supercharging sessions. Only major issue I’ve had is 5 replacements of the rear lightbar.

You’ve beat me on lightbar replacements but I’m catching up! I’ve had 3 replaced.

On a related note, on the Mach E Forum back in 2023 a very savvy member, Mach Lee, had posted a method to rebalance that car's traction (HV) battery cells every so often. That post's procedure might, or might not, apply to our Lightnings... that very detailed post's thrust was that as long as the battery cells stay or are kept in voltage balance, the battery will last and last and last...

Here is Mach-Lee recommendation for periodic battery (BMS)
calibration. Very similar procedure going on in Tesla forums.
If you guys could see how a LIPO battery charger (for RC hobby)
works during charge and balance rhythms, it’s very fascinating
I’ve spent too much time years ago watching and reading about what a top tier LIPO charger does.

Let’s both hope that we’re done with that

Curious to know what are the highest millage lightnings on this forum

I am at 61000 miles 98300KM

so far so good, I'm at a crossroads trade if I can (maybe not possible for me in canada with tariffs) or keep running which I would love to do if I think I can beyond warranty of batt

I have a 2023 (June) Lightning Pro with 70k. The battery shows 234 miles on 100% charge, so not to much loss for this many miles. Trouble free so far, only had to change cabin filter.

104,636 miles. 2022 ER Lariat, took delivery September 2022. HVB SOH 95%. Overall the only issues seem to be recalls and the dealer not getting the recall right and having to fix what got broken during the recall. That and the minor inconveniences of basically driving a beta test car on wheels.

76K miles. Battery SOH 98% via FDRS. (Just the numbers)

105k miles. Wow. I took mine home in October of 22 and I'm creeping up on 60k. Please, keep us posted on your journey.

it would be cool to see some anonymous fleet operators chime in comparing Lightning costs vs ICE counterparts over a 3 year period.

110,000 KM now, looks like I need a new 12 v keep getting wrench come on and go off and i am fairly sure it is related to 12v

I have to image as the years go by for the lightning, there will be other battery options available. Cheaper ones. When you’re outside of your warranty you hopefully will be able to choose non-ford options that will save you a lot of money.
