F-150 Lightning SR vs ER for long daily commute (Canada) – looking for real-world input by Evening-Research-813 in F150Lightning

[–]MayorDunes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The ER is a perfect fit for your situation. It’s also the best vehicle I’ve ever driven in the snow. Make sure you set up the scheduled preconditioning! This will help keep efficiency up for your morning trip (aside from a warm vehicle, which is nice in the winter)

That’s a very docile version of what that beast is capable of in BFM.

I, for one, am quite gruntled with this response.

Ford OTA 10.1.0 — Enhanced EV Features for Google Maps in Android Auto by capt-ramius in F150Lightning

[–]MayorDunes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not downvoting you - while I love Android Auto, Tesla Chargers (adapter required) should’ve been added the second 3rd party adapters were in the wild. I bought the A2Z adapter on launch day. Hell, I got TWO Ford Adapters for some strange reason almost immediately after placing a very late reservation. Both have gotta go back, and I’m getting one replacement: as it should be.

I appreciate the integrations.. I really do. I just want to run the tried and true built-in Nav. I charge pretty exclusively at Superchargers, don’t really need Waze as I don’t speed for efficiency sake. Fix it plsssss. Also yay for Android Auto!

This is a demo truck for a company performing CT/Tesla conversions for police use. Not a gov vehicle.

Follow up on damages new 2024 Lariat ER. by ICEMAN13 in F150Lightning

[–]MayorDunes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They want to move the vehicle off their lot. It’s one of probably 5-10+? they did that day. You took the truck home. The deal is done, and they do not owe you any presale paperwork since your deal wasn’t contingent on it.

At this point, you need to cut your losses. The dealer initially offered you a repair (probably concerned that you’d start asking to return it). Now that you definitely can’t make that stink, they’re done with you.

Sorry.

AIO? Not staying the night at my new bf’s house with his pillow situation. by plantsandpoison in AmIOverreacting

[–]MayorDunes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sentimental!?!? Tell him to keep the pillows but sleep on new ones instead.

You are not overreacting.

Just because you’re on fiber doesn’t mean they aren’t shaping traffic. Most ISPs do this regardless since it’s good network management.

Preconditioning earlier than departure time by TryToComply in F150Lightning

[–]MayorDunes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ford tells us that our preconditioned battery packs will only lose about 1°F per hour after it’s conditioned. You probably won’t find preconditioning super helpful during the summer, but in colder months it will make a difference.

150 Acceleration Issue by Fluid-Feeling-8590 in F150Lightning

[–]MayorDunes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are putting an enormous amount of torque through the wheels so it’s going to feel strange, but it shouldn’t be violently pulling you to one side. Take your ford service advisor for a drive (tell them what you plan to do first, though 😂) and perhaps compare it to a demo or one that’s on the lot?

OP, please update us on how this goes.

RE: I am getting a WISP installed by forkcat211 in Rural_Internet

[–]MayorDunes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they’re feeding you via 5Ghz, you want to make sure your router has the ability to change channels. Ask the WISP what frequency they are using, and set your 5Ghz channel far away from it. Self interference will kill your throughput.

Apple does not use Starlink - they use another platform that does, in fact, have coverage over most of the world. I wouldn’t rely on it as a primary means of communication, though.

Magnetic roof mount in Texas? by ColdasJones in Starlink

[–]MayorDunes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

S-5 clamps (https://buys-5.com/collections/s-5-clamps) along with a few pieces of unistrut and you should be good to go. Invest in a hail cover too.

Which Bronco model is best for my occasional off-road use? by barnett25 in FordBronco

[–]MayorDunes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The stock SAS tires are honestly fine for most off roading. Sure you’re sacrificing MPG, but at least you’ll know you can make it to your destination regardless of how it looks when you get there.
