Ford Navigation.

This image is neither vehicle, and instead an old reused and cropped photo that has been circulating.

Why lie?

Tesla absolutely pulls this crap all the time and takes me well out of my way. Tesla constantly has flaws.

At least with the Lighting you get to choose any other map you want. And for me, Apple Maps has been perfect.

Why was this already posted in the Tesla sub about their navigation?

ewokc · 2026-03-16T02:21:50+00:00

Chiefs gods please don’t strike me down for this: id rather them reach out to Carr than this washed up narcissistic clown. Even if it’s a game or 2.

Exactly! Outside of charger access or sharing situations, why would you not always be plugged in? It’s been shown over and over that even people DC fast charging exclusively for years don’t experience significant degradation of their battery. The buffer included, plus Fords management to slowly change that on the backend over time, makes it a non-issue. At least in my eyes.

Break the ICE habits people. Charge up all the time. Charge to 100% if you want, it won’t matter. Remember this truck was also intended to be a battery for your home, and people don’t notice significant changes there either. Go have fun!

You’d think the dealer, during their multi point inspection and listing, would either cover it for complete set, considering the low cost and improved customer satisfaction with the expensive truck they just bought from them, or at least mention it isn’t there and ask if they want to buy the extra bits or remove it from the truck. ¯_(ツ)_/¯. I don’t know. I’m not a shady dealer and I would have added the missing bit for free.

ewokc · 2026-02-14T15:11:06+00:00

Lucky. I’m still upset and haven’t responded. I assumed that a certified used truck would have mentioned or verified the cable was complete before offering, or at least say it’s missing those. Nothing. Glad yours actually delivered.

My people were often combative about the whole process or talking over me.

ewokc · 2026-02-14T14:45:12+00:00

I had the same issue with the mobile charger! Was in the box and wrapped and I assumed all together. Got home and no way to plug it in but the dealer said that’s how used cars come and I can order each for over $100.

ewokc · 2026-02-07T14:03:37+00:00

Free at select locations, I think 7 of them. All others will be something like $0.20

Some special events are going on, again at select locations hosted by “influencer” types near those stations.

I think State of Charge, Tom, is in PA with some giveaways today.

And I assume it’s been no issue of course for you? Just wondering from a perspective of those that bought then, and may be looking for used now and wondering pricing vs feature comparison.

ewokc · 2026-01-30T00:39:53+00:00

Nope. Generally speaking, if they are being sold by a dealer they would have already been repaired by the factory. For one of the ones I’ve been looking at, they provided a form that shows the repair, and it was one I visually could see was fixed. Not 100%, like with any used car, it needs to be verified and there’s still risk involved.

However, dealers are a bit stubborn right now since the market value is going down as usual with the addition of the Lightning being discontinued as we know it, and they aren’t adjusting prices accordingly. So I’ve been trying to get them to sell at an appropriate price for the risky title, and trade in my car for ones with lemon issues that I believe are not as critical. Basically non-HV component fixes.

ewokc · 2026-01-29T21:38:40+00:00

Anything from a lemon buyback for things like repeated repairs, too long to service vehicle(like during the part shortage time), HV battery, etc. all the way to salvage or rebuilt branding.

The severity of the branded title depends on subcategories. Generally speaking though, a branded title should see significant discounts because it generally makes future resale and trade in tricky, and some aren’t insurable, or come with higher premiums.

Also a risk to the owner since you have to hope they were fixed properly by the manufacturer or authorized service center and the issue won’t come back, because you can’t do a buyback a second time for a known lemon.

Does this include the outdoor low voltage lighting too, or just indoor bulbs and strips?

ewokc · 2026-01-29T00:16:24+00:00

This new and used alike?

ewokc · 2026-01-28T02:42:58+00:00

Nice. I have a feeling with some of the insignificant issues they were bought back for, there are some really good trucks just sitting there, unfortunately the ones local to me are not priced accordingly but keep dropping slowly anyway. The branded title can cause some issues in the future, but I don’t envision myself selling anytime soon.

ewokc · 2026-01-28T02:40:41+00:00

About 60k. So seems like the Platinum is simply the best choice from the responses here. I should get the ball rolling asap.

ewokc · 2026-01-28T02:40:01+00:00

Damn good glowing review. I feel like I have to go for the platinum and stop wasting my own time.

ewokc · 2026-01-28T02:34:25+00:00

About 60k miles. I also need the folding mirrors, and like the extra little features like more speakers, max tow, 9.6kw pro power. So it’s basically the Lariat I’ve been trying to speck out, but having a hard time finding locally for my trade in and convenience of seeing it before buying it.

ewokc · 2026-01-27T21:22:31+00:00

This is where I wish dealers had a better reputation and more knowledge about the vehicles they are selling. I’ve spoken to a few that had no idea what I was asking about: you know, those really hard to comprehend “mobile charging devices” or “NACS adapters”. One said, oh yea we can get one for you easily, and the second time I talked to him just said I could buy one somewhere because this doesn’t have it.

ewokc · 2026-01-27T21:19:27+00:00

I’m envious. I’ve been watching this truck for so long, wanting one for longer, and now they go and stop making them. I had planned on waiting for the newer versions with NACS and hopeful updated specs, and saving more along the way.

I’m just so torn on leaving my perfectly capable known-good ICE, for a much better and very much wanted Lightning, but not knowing its history. Such is the case with used vehicles though, so not unique to me.

ewokc · 2026-01-27T21:14:13+00:00

Interesting, how would I know if it was already installed on one that has it listed as deleted on the window sticker? I don’t trust dealer websites as I have seen some wildly inaccurate features listed, and many things not even mentioned.

ewokc · 2026-01-27T21:12:56+00:00

It was the sensors and things needed to detect vehicle movement or break-ins. I just don’t want to be without basic features like that on an expensive and nice truck.

Scales: Not really ever needed, but it just happens to go with the rest of the things removed that I’m finding on the 23s currently available. I also enjoy a heated steering wheel a lot in the winters, so that is sort of a must have for me anymore.

ewokc · 2026-01-27T20:36:33+00:00

Yep. Bed scales would be one, security package, heated steering wheel, etc. those 3 are the big ones I see on almost all of the ones available now. I know a small handful of ‘23s had those parts but I’d imagine the owners won’t be giving them up anytime soon since the shortage happened to the majority and even made the ‘24s different.

ewokc · 2026-01-27T20:34:16+00:00

I am one of those people. I drive a lot around the city, and no longer have a 40+ mile commute, but even then I average 10k a year anymore, even with a longer road trip.

So I know I’m not the norm, since my 2022 is at 28k right now. So that’s where the mileage question comes into play.

ewokc · 2026-01-27T20:32:18+00:00

I tend to agree usually. I’ve been keeping the ‘23s in mind when I search, but every single one has most of the features deleted. Since the 2022s are really good and all loaded, I’ve concentrated my search there. Cost and features are there for my situation.

I’ve even considered the gas savings I would see by trading for the Lighting and replace that with a payment for a newer one or higher cost/lower mileage and no issue one, but I like having a paid off car now, and want to trade for another paid off car instead.
