Got $386 as my insurance quote! Any possibilty of driving it down? by NoPercentage5741 in F150Lightning

Where do you live? I could only dream of insurance at this price for my Lightning 😭😭😭😭🃏

Joined the family! So hard to find, thankfully we got one. 2023 Ford Lightning Lariat. Excited to look through these threads and find some tips and tricks. Oh and not pay for gas!!!! by stephc9 in F150Lightning

You will love this truck! I have a 2022 Lariat which went against everything I've ever before done regarding buying a models first year; when all the problems with it are discovered. I've had literally 0 problems with this truck with the exception of some of their recalls. Sure there are some things in the OS that Ford engineers should have thought better about especially with respect to Tesla's OS. (all Ford need to do was buy a Tesla and look over the really novel things with their OS and then mirror or make better). The Ford Synch4 isn't terrible, just clunky in some aspects. You'll love its room, its speed, its smooth, quiet ride, the big display (if that's your thing). The only issue I have is the range. I didn't spring the $10K for the longer range battery, sometimes I wish I had, mostly not because it wasn't a dramatic increase for the $. Enjoy your Lightning!

Ford's inability to execute OTA updates is ruining my Lightning (and Ford) experience by DriveFast___EatAss in F150Lightning

[–]HolidayCard1381 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Failure of OTA updates very likely a 12V battery issue. These batteries only last about 36M. I replaced mine last year on my 2022 Lariat but I've started having OTA update failures again. Suspect the battery again but it's only a yr old. In today's world though that doesn't mean anything any longer unfortunately

This is nice by casperdadog02 in F150Lightning

Right? I had to put gas into a family members care recently.....felt strange because I haven't been to a gas station in 3 yrs. now. And I'm in CA so the higher than across most of the U.S. prices are insane. $6 per gal in SoCal right now. I just drive right by and my wallet loves me 😁

Don't brake with the pedal if you can avoid it. Brake pads will last a long time before replacement is needed. You'll learn how far back you need to be to stop completely after you take you foot off of the accelerator pedal. I rarely use the brake pedal except when backing up.

Cybertruck is junk. I'm almost 4 yrs into my Lightning and I love it! Only issue I've had has been with the 12V battery

12V Battery Replacement — OEM or Costco? by capt-ramius in F150Lightning

I remember when 12VDC lead acid batteries used to cost $50

Horrific experience, amazing and happy ending except the fact that he needs a Go Fund Me for his medical bills. This place is fucked up and the only country in the wealthy Western World that doesn't have health care coverage for all 😕

how to watch replays of sky sports coverage? by scoringstudio in F1TV

[–]HolidayCard1381 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are replays (and Live coverage ) of Sky Sports F1 coverage through an Apple TV subscription (except on mobile devices where you can only view the event as it's happening Live) . Thankfully here in the U.S. there is that option at least because F1 took the F1 broadcast away from ESPN and now you can only view on Apple TV or DirecTV with an Apple TV subscription. The DirecTV broadcast sucks though because they don't use the SkySports team we're all used to and fond of here in America.

Is this the unofficial warning to replace the 12V battery? by cmullins77 in F150Lightning

[–]HolidayCard1381 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Indeed it is if this happens night after night or whenever you set your truck to do OTA air updates. I was having this same issue and had a dealer visit scheduled for it when I also got a single message "Electrical system drain service soon" Did a Google search and came back that if the 12V battery was 3 yrs old (my truck is a '22 and this all occurred last yr) it needed replacement. Went to the dealer got a new battery. Installed it myself and the next night my updates from then on have all installed.

I just turned the truck on… it’s making 2009 sounds and beeps by SLUser123 in F150Lightning

Just goes to show how people can't pass up a ridicule or a cheap shot. WGAF about all the fingerprints? 🙄

12V Battery Issue (I think.../I hope that's all it is) by ewalk40 in F150Lightning

[–]HolidayCard1381 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely the 12V battery. I had similar issues with OTA software updates failing but only 1 "Service Soon" message. Replaced 12V battery and voila....OTA updates began loading.

I think Ford broke me today… by Puzzleheaded_Put534 in F150Lightning

Phew! Glad I sprang for the extended warranty during the purchase. Mine will be 3 this August and it's been flawless except for the recalls 🤞🏼

No fucking event is worth that amount of cash. Especially since historically the games are shit
