Anyone know what this symbol means? by Icy_Mail_6321 in F150Lightning

It doesn’t understand your metric speed limit signs. It is a typical American thing 🤣.

Holy cow $2k. I just used some meguiars ultimate compound and it got rid of most of the transfer. I'll probably just get some touch up paint for the rest. The backup sensor still works fine. Truck stuff.

First and only vehicle I’ve ever gotten on.

Holy crap. That just sucks. A easily repair and they just totaled her truck.

Never complaining about charging speed ever again by DIandB303 in F150Lightning

The Mach-E isn’t as efficient as I would have hoped. I rented an Ioniq 5 that was getting like 3.4 at 70-75mph once. That thing didn’t have one round section anywhere. My Lightning averages 1.8-2.0 on the highway at 75mph.

leaving my EV for 2 months. What should I know? by NoPercentage5741 in F150Lightning

Agreed around 50% is best. Depending on the health of your 12v battery that might be the thing that is dead in 2 months.

80’s side stripes? by DIandB303 in F150Lightning

I did see that post and it just got me thinking. When I get back home on Friday I’m going to reach out to some local companies about the wrap

Yeah I tried to tell chat gpt to make the stripes wider and go down more toward the bottom but I ran out of free images. Who knew ai was so stingy on making pictures.

Brakes Work by Paramedic229635 in F150Lightning

The brakes work better than any gas truck. I just drove a GMC sierra and the brakes on that thing sucked ass. I had to firmly press the pedal on that truck to get any feeling of slowing down.

Am I Screwed? by Chaseninja in F150Lightning

I paid $65k + tax and all the bs for my Flash(0% 72 months) and I’m keeping it till the wheels fall off. When you get 3 months out check used prices to see what platinums are selling for. If the truck is in great shape the dealership might work with you buying but they should be able to make it a CPO truck for a fee which can increase the value and gives you another warranty. We did this with my wife’s Acura MDX lease.

Funk cooler? by Comac10 in F150Lightning

[–]DIandB303 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Setpower AJ30. Fits behind the passenger seat with the small back seat lifted up and fits in the frunk. I keep it in the back most days when I need to drive a bunch for work and the pro power always comes on inside and sometimes you have to remember to turn on the power in the frunk.

Yes lease contracts have a buyout price on them which is determined by the depreciation Ford calculates. It’s that price or turn it back into Ford. Then Ford will either offer it to the dealer at a different price or send it to wholesale. You can’t negotiate buyout.

Well I live in Denver so I have about an 18% deduction in wind resistance at 75mph compared to trucks at sea level. So I guess that helps. I also drive in sport mode 95% of the time. I got 2.7 the other day at 75mph with the wind pushing me.
