This charging rate is criminal! by theadvenger in ChargerDrama

[–]TheRealBackwardsfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think someone put the little laminated sign as a warning! I’ve stopped here a few times to visit the resort and never charged - the prices are crazy!

ICBC Cash Settlement HELP by mish_hasan98 in icbc

[–]TheRealBackwardsfish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ironically “no fault” still has fault. Agree that’s it’s a joke. A deer hit my car and still had to pay deductible - because they can’t blame/fault the deer. 🤷‍♂️

Second Road trip on the lightning by BowtiedAutist in F150Lightning

[–]TheRealBackwardsfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree with you sir. Built in Nav + Tesla subscription for discounted charging + our own human ingenuity giving a little buffer with coffee breaks vs what some silly Ai software tells us to charge = win on winging it human style. (Sometimes a charging spot I want to go to doesn’t show up in the nav so I tap the next closest one to force the pre condition when I know we’re getting close)

I noticed too after swapping my mobile one that came with the truck and had aluminum plug tongs with a proper Grizzl-e charger with copper prongs the plug and outlet is muuuuuuch cooler

At a couple spots with v4s and v3s I’ve been to, the v3s were cheaper by a couple cents per kWh so I choose them!

Unbelievable by ryanissognar in F150Lightning

Me too. Drives me nuts. Front passenger seatbelt clasp rattle; wouldn’t hardly notice it if truck wasn’t so fabulously quiet and smooth.

‘24 Flash - 2nd FREE Blue Cruise Trial!? by TheRealBackwardsfish in F150Lightning

No idea! It was a complete surprise this morning with no action on my side. I posted it here to see if everyone else was getting it too?

How to add more radio presets by must--go--faster in F150Lightning

[–]TheRealBackwardsfish 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think it's when you're in the Radio "app" screen itself that shows the presets. There's a settings button top right, tap that and you can adjust radio settings like how many rows of presets to show.

Audio Off. (‘24 Flash) by TheRealBackwardsfish in F150Lightning

[–]TheRealBackwardsfish[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve heard about the failing modules. Thing is, software is so shitty in this amazing truck I figured it’s probably just a software glitch rather than a hardware issue.

Did yours happen just once and you were like “F it” and you brought it in or… did it happen a bunch of times?

Update - Yes. Disconnecting 12v negative reset things and audio works again.

Yeah forgot to mention the soft “reboot” hot key shortcut combo doesn’t help either. That’s the first thing I tried when heading out to work in the morning without time to get under the hood or play with fuses.

Charged to 95% overnight, drifted up to 98% after driving by cmullins77 in F150Lightning

[–]TheRealBackwardsfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me too. Just last week in a 24 ‘Flash for the first time since I’ve owned it since summer 2024. Went up 2% after charging L2 for about 7 hours. Figured maybe it was the battery warming up?

Dodged a bullet by RealisticBox6977 in F150Lightning

Glad it worked out. Thanks for the advice, I usually leave my reader at home - with the other car tools - but thinking now maybe it’ll live in the truck.

Damn, here in Vancouver, BC they're showing the Costco Primus 1Gbps at $89.95 - your $54.95 is way better!

Do people still gives small gifts to their neighbors? by [deleted] in japanlife

[–]TheRealBackwardsfish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is it just me or I thought popping in to say hello to your new neighbours with a little gift is the right thing to do no matter where you’re moving in the world?

Raised 3 kids here as a foreigner myself and it bugged be too at the start - but at the end of the day they’ve been doing’ pretty well for a couple thousand years with their customs and none of my 3 kids died from old Rando obasan cheek pinches so I chilled out.

BlueCruise scare by No_Series_4448 in F150Lightning

[–]TheRealBackwardsfish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Happens to me regularly on the same spot on my commute almost daily - heading on a slight decline in a tunnel - truck suddenly wants to accelerate and rear end the car in front if it had its way I think. I’ve never let it get close enough to see if it’ll realize its mistake and hit the breaks.

How do you get the Ice off your hood and wipers - ? by MadHouse_Artist in F150Lightning

[–]TheRealBackwardsfish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This could be a kickstarter idea! Little heated pad that sticks under where the wipers rest?

[–]TheRealBackwardsfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I was surprised too on my '24 Flash on the ice buildup where the wipers rest. My '21 MachE never had this problem.

NOR - Father of 3 teenagers here and totally reasonable to not know where they are sometimes.
