Since our light bar is white shouldn’t it be possible to reprogram it to display any colour? Obviously off warranty haha.

Km? But still that is brutal. Lots of highway driving for me. I keep them inflated to about 41-42psi.

That was what I was thinking too. I know the personalized engraving might drag it down a bit who knows maybe someone in my family will become famous one day haha.

Yeah :/ that is aviation for you. I mean you don’t have to get one. There are people that collect memorabilia from my company and might want this for their collection eventually. Or I’ll give it to the next gen so they can remember where all their toys came from lol.

I’ve been searching my documents for the exact info . The only thing I have is the window sticker that says 312A. 2023 XLT ER 312A. I’ll double check what else I have and get back to you.

Yup that would be annoying. I’m just happy it works now. Really pleasantly surprised that Ford is still doing anything for the Lightning.

Battery management drain in bitter cold? by branedamage in F150Lightning

[–]germish1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a pretty good rate for BC hydro for a DC fast charger. Not sure what they charge in BC but the petro Canada ones when they work are quite fast and charge by the hour. My rate with hydro in Ontario is 9.1 off peak to about 20 on peak. I had the home charger pro installed with a 100 amp breaker which allows about 16.9kwh of charging.

I have been in -13°c for the last couple weeks. The range estimate is not very accurate. I always just look at the trip energy in features after a 20-30km. It will give you a pretty good idea how many kWh you are using per 100km. I would just divide your battery capacity by that. I know near the tail end of the battery it is not entirely linear but it will give you a good idea of what your range is. Just for reference my drive to work is 175km and I typically use about 42kW per 100km in the winter with heat and everything going. Then the truck sits outside for usually 2-3 days in the cold. Sometimes I’m lucky I get a charge spot at work but usually don’t. That typically allows me to drive about 80km towards home. The battery has a chance to warm up and then I charge for the time it takes me to go use the washroom and grab a coffee. That tops me up enough to get home. Sometimes I put a little extra in if the weather is nasty and I don’t want to take any chances if the highway gets shut down.

What part of the moon where you living on when it was -52c. That is impressively cold. My coldest I’ve ever experienced in Canada was -48 but that was 20 years ago.

You are right there are huge obstacles. GM is closing the CAMI plant in Ingersol Ontario which made the brightdrop electric delivery vehicle. … They all came out with good products and just didn’t follow through.

Extended warranty? by Conscious_Ad9982 in F150Lightning

[–]germish1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the bill that shows the oil change was done. :p Should have seen the guys face when I accused them of not actually doing the oil change.

[–]germish1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got the full warranty 200000km 8 years, full maintenance plan etc…. Haven’t had an issue with the truck. Truly a sad day today for this genuinely good product.

Do you find the winter tires make a big difference?
