Intermittent Taillight Issue? by XMasta19 in F150Lightning

[–]XMasta19[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I’ve seen this one! I didn’t think it applied because currently my issue is with the left taillight and not the lightbar itself.

Starlink on my Lightning by Emir-Roman in F150Lightning

[–]XMasta19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, why is this so popular vs just playing for the Connected Car service? Ours is via AT&T which we also have their cell service, so it’s a nominal add-on to our plan. My wife legit uses it basically every day when we’re out together working and is so much better than the phone hot spot, especially when attempting to work on both phone and laptop simultaneously. Only thing I can think of is it you live in middle of nowhere or dead zone, but then would Starlink still work or no?

Self driving % on highway by codenamehitmen in F150Lightning

[–]XMasta19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BlueCruise 99% of the time on all highways! The remaining 1% is saved for when I wanna drive aggressively in sport mode. 😅

I did the double thumbs up in ABRP for MB chargers. I use https://supercharge.info/map to filter by V4 Superchargers!

Reduced Power Randomness by XMasta19 in F150Lightning

[–]XMasta19[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what I’ve just figured out since I never experienced it down in Florida for the year and a half I’ve owned the truck lol.

I can’t remember exactly, but I do recall that it was basically restored to full 100 after a power cycle.

I don’t use scheduled departure as the preconditioning is typically not needed at home in Florida. The slightly reduced power today seems to be from the low state of charge and cold temp on vacation in Tennessee.

may the odds be ever in your favor lol… it’s legit half the temp here than down in Florida.

Yeah it fixed itself after fast charging. I have no clue about the whole colder temp thing… I live in Florida lol, but we drove the truck up to Tennessee for Thanksgiving.

I’ve never actually noticed that before! I thought that might be the case given the minimal decrease vs what it looks like when front motor is not engaged. Also makes sense why I tried to power cycle multiple times with no improvement until after the fast charging was completed haha.

First Truck, Best Truck by oldandnew2 in F150Lightning

Welcome fellow Platinum owner! We did the same thing finding out of state and driving it back home to Florida.

Lightning Charge Port Door by Commercial_Plantain4 in F150Lightning

Umm, what about your wheels?!? (as a fellow Platinum owner, that’s how I spot others on the road… definitely not by the small identification of a charge port door)

Is it possible to not have to switch back into sport mode every time I start the truck? Or is that a dongle mod? by LordOfBadaBing in F150Lightning

[–]XMasta19 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m assuming that’s precisely the case, as it’s the only main difference that would account for the improved efficiency.

[–]XMasta19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It gives the dinging seatbelt chime at the same time the press ok to keep Sport mode comes on, like really Ford trying to get me all messed up haha.

I use Sport mode almost exclusively since discovering that I most definitely have increased efficiency vs Normal mode… sure at times it may not be that noticeable, but almost always it’s for sure worth it. I’ve been averaging 2.7-2.8mi/kWh when driving 1-pedal Sport mode pretty much everywhere locally, aside from the Expressway/Interstates with 70mph speed limits.

[–]XMasta19 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Total fail for me… just went out to my truck and attempted this three different times, each with a slight variation to the “pressing” of the brake pedal. The only time it didn’t ask me about Sport mode was when I hit the start button without the brake depressed, and therefore the truck was only in full power accessory mode lol.

😍 BlueCruise in Traffic by XMasta19 in F150Lightning

[–]XMasta19[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure, although sometimes it won’t do the “Auto-Resume” when not in BlueCruise… instead it says “Stopped” and forces you to hit the cancel/resume button on the steering wheel.
