They still are not done with it…it’s just a joke at this point.

Well if we’re just talking about keeping the inside of a vehicle a certain temperature, assuming heaters perform close to the same and the vehicles also insulate the same…wouldn’t the fact that idle times are almost the same dictate that the time before dying would also be close to the same?

I’ve said multiple times that I probably won’t be keeping the Lightning. And the plus of being an adult…I don’t have to know what I want. I can just get on a list and make the decision whenever an allocation comes available.

Haha I’ve had decently fast cars before. Never a BMW, but I keep reading about how great it’s going to be

Im not trying to convince you, just squash some of the boomer rumors that seem to be prevalent regarding EVs…most of which I believed before getting one. I have several other vehicles including a 23 Raptor (that’s been in the shop for about seven weeks since I got it 12/19). Like I said, I...

Is that a real thing? I’m not an electrician but starting up an electric heater doesn’t seem like it would kill such a huge battery…and if it does, you would just turn the heater down low and not have it cut off, then back up when the temp drops too much.

For sure. For some reason, I rarely see this argument. 320 miles range looks great …190 does not. As I said, I assume most families have a second vehicle that isn’t EV. I can’t see having one as an only vehicle

Yes but it’s still fairly cheap, I think my power is around 6.8c per kWh. That’s around $8 for a 320 mile charge BUT the power company gives a discount for charging outside peak hours. That would be closer to $75 for gas. Of course, you have to figure in the higher initial cost. Even with the...

I looked this up after the I95 incident and the tests they ran showed pretty similar idling times between the two…plus you could decrease the temp in the EV and have even longer instead of a fairly consistent idling gpm. Of course, whenever it clears up you can just fill the ICE vehicles with...

I’ve said multiple times that even 400 miles would be great. I’ve had multiple trips where an extra 50 miles would have been the difference between taking that vs my truck. 500 would be a game changer though

No, I live in Louisiana.

Yea, I don’t really care about that really (considering I’m on here) but it does matter to some people, specifically businesses. I was obviously just pointing out benefits of the platform.

It’s insanely quick and rides well. My work has a charger so I could technically never pay for charging it so it would essentially be “free” outside the initial cost. I was in before the price increase and got an XLT ER, used the tax credit, and even received a credit for install and other...

See, mine goes away in park but not in neutral too. Same symptoms. Supposedly I will get it Monday or Tuesday and will post if it fixed it and if so, what they did

Didnt read the whole thread but I have both and am not planning on keeping the Lightning. I like the truck, it's fun to drive around town and I love having a full charge every morning. I have range anxiety. People say "don't worry about it" and all of that, but even a two hour trip drives me...

Still at dealer. While they were fixing the rattle, they also had to fix the non functioning sunroof and all features on the passenger side view mirror not working. I've been without my truck going on three weeks now, for a total of seven weeks since 12/20

Not like the G2...but you can push the paddle shifter and the gear will pop up on the left side/bottom of instrument cluster.

There was virtually no change other than deletes for 2021-2023. Yes, it was an early build date for the MY but not for the model. The body panels and axle coatings didn't change from MY22s built 10/22 to MY23 built 10/28

Who knows. I agree that it’s in the area they are working in so maybe that’s is. This is where I’m hearing it

Mine does it and the dealer thinks they tracked it down to a “weight” or some sort of mount at the exhaust hangers by the crossmember at the transfer case It’s going in April 3 as the parts took a month and every dealer around me is backlogged for months It has gotten better as the weather...

I've never seen anything related to warranty refusal for PPF. I don't know that excess heat would be an issue since it shouldn't be opaque enough to gather heat or thick enough to insulate it...LEDs don't produce enough forward heat if anything. A good PPF should barely be detectable on there...

I really don't want to be one of those people with 100 warranty claims or complaints. I want the truck to be 10/10. I've rarely claimed anything on previous trucks. Mine is in the first build week for MY23 (10/28 if I remember correctly). Sat in a lot until 12/19.

Rear axle/diff, front CVs, hubs, exhaust, and various other fasteners and brackets under the truck. Yesterday I took the door panel off and even the lock assembly had rust. It’s pretty ridiculous considering it’s been in Louisiana, garage kept, and alway from salt its whole life.

So I figured out my issue… the wire to the livevalve sensor/ride height sensor was loose and rubbing on the cv boot and had exposed wires that were shorting
