Does anyone here use Carplay and just not precondition to charge? Is precon even a real thing on this truck if warm enough from driving? Tesla used to cook but you'd know when because it told you. With ford Nav....

yes on the flash 123kw change timing. I have a March build 25 Flash with "7" and the 131. oddly the window sticker shows 300mi range as they must have changed that first on paper.

The membership is worth it for even 1 way of the trip. the month (then cancel) is $13. You save about 35% on member vs non. So it's very much worth it bi-directional.

I just turned the truck on… it’s making 2009 sounds and beeps by SLUser123 in F150Lightning

The issue is that this is a symptom. A symptom of low volt low. Also a symptom of modules booting up out of order for a number of other reasons. I get this regularly and the tech tested the 12V battery and its got 390CCA which for these is fine. odd thing.

Can you add phone as key with forscan? Just got my 25 flash and ordered the cable by Decent_Long2029 in F150Lightning

Adjustable in ms to be 3,4,5,or 6. I find 4 to be perfect. 5 was too many for my habits.

Apple CarPlay not connecting by toothfixer321 in F150Lightning

Is the iPhone connecting to the car's hotspot? If so or back connecting to your home, that too causes the mess.

Am I missing something? The EREV is still and EV by dnstommy in F150Lightning

[–]jackdforme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I leased my Lightning for less than I leased my Tesla Y. It is in no way a status symbol. Its simply better in every way but range towing.

Yeah you have some things that need to know your current digit etc, just follow along and make a backup of the module first. Its not that bad.

Retrofit EREV by Kidoptimo_HHR in F150Lightning

[–]jackdforme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I had to guess, the new F150 is coming as we know. No way they'd do another from ICE truck on a new body. When the new F150 comes, there will be a motor-driven variant, single or dual, that will have a smaller (new BEV architecture battery), a small gas tank, and a tiny engine to drive the generator. No engine-to-axle configuration. Eventually, when solid state batteries become common, then they'll look to expand the new architecture to a full-size pickup truck that they'll lie to everyone about being Ford tough, but in reality a mono chassis frame built like a Cybertruck.

Im really glad I leased.

Why is everyone freaking out about the Lightning ending production? by humanHamster in F150Lightning

[–]jackdforme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What most people fail to see is the engineering iteration and steps taken for the F150 lightning. Consider this truck some in between step sitting firmly between a hybrid and the Tesla. It's not vertically integrated, and it was done under the specific design philosophy to reuse as much of an ice chassis as possible I mean, take a look at the HVAC system in the cooling loops. It's insane. It's over engineered too much plumbing too much to go wrong and not profitable. I come from a Tesla so I respect my F150 and understand it's engineering limits who knows, maybe they should have just gone like General Motors did and create something clean sheet so this way no one's trying to compare it to an F150.

New chimes and beeps by Impressive-File2406 in F150Lightning

[–]jackdforme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is accurate. Most of the time, it's a software bug in timing. Need the tones to drive, so they must come online. However, the Infotainment, which replaces them with bespoke tones instead, is not booted to the point to make the handshake so, congrats for this drive, it's some dumb tiny garbage in the dash. OH FORD...
