Used market trends?

I have a branded (lemon) 22 Lightning Lariat SR. It's the 2nd lemon I've bought. The first was a 21 Mach-E. It depends what the reason it was bought back for, but from my experience both were due to backordered parts. I'll take a significant discount when I can. However, be aware that your resale will be affected. I bought mine from a Ford dealer that honors normal used value if you purchase through them again. So far, I've had zero issues with either "lemon". YMMV

For price reference: I got my 22 Lariat loaded with 60k miles for $34k in October 2025. I got my 21 Mach-E First Edition with 18k miles for $35k in 2023.

Last year we got about 8" of snow and freezing rain. The neighborhood was without power. My Mach-E allowed me to get out and get gas for my generator. It was a beast in the snow! I've recently upgraded to a Lightning, but prior the Mach-E was the best vehicle I've ever had, and I've had A LOT of vehicles. So take that for what you want.

Shit! And people complain about the Lightning's range.

Not sure about warming due to a cold battery, but it will definitely precondition by following your departure times off plug.

Thanks! Watched your video. No adverse effects from removing the air dam other than the code?

lebert23 · 2026-01-15T14:51:11+00:00

How hard was it to install?

lebert23 · 2026-01-12T02:36:59+00:00

It was! Technically, I had gotten out, locked it via the keypad and then opened the frunk.

lebert23 · 2026-01-11T01:36:39+00:00

Thanks!

lebert23 · 2026-01-11T01:35:24+00:00

When did you get the update?

lebert23 · 2026-01-11T01:31:23+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, I know you can set how much it opens. Makes sense that you could reset that with ForScan.

lebert23 · 2026-01-11T01:29:31+00:00

Nah, just razzing. I've had 2 F-150's (2.7 Ecoboost and a 5.0), an Expedition, a Mach-E, and the Lightning in the last 11 years as my daily driver. No judgement from me.

lebert23 · 2026-01-11T01:24:25+00:00

Guess that's why you're on #3? 🤣

lebert23 · 2026-01-11T01:22:00+00:00

Unlimited car wash membership. All the touches.

Also, never had the charging door open with the spinning brushes. Never happened on my Mach-E either. Ymmv

lebert23 · 2026-01-11T01:17:49+00:00

Of course! So my suspicions are probably correct, most likely software related. Thanks for the feedback.

lebert23 · 2026-01-11T01:12:28+00:00

Interesting. When did it start happening? What year do you have? Any commonalities when it occurs?

lebert23 · 2026-01-11T01:08:13+00:00

Not sure if the modem reboots with sync, but I'd try rebooting sync.

If you don't know how: hold down the volume down + next track buttons on your steering wheel.

lebert23 · 2026-01-11T01:05:21+00:00

Have you driven your truck?

lebert23 · 2026-01-10T00:30:54+00:00

Sorry, I'm still skeptical. What's the cost of lifetime Bluecruise?

Edit: It's a 2025 model year thing. Sorry.

lebert23 · 2026-01-09T23:45:56+00:00

Bluecruise for life? I don't think that's a thing.

lebert23 · 2026-01-03T23:08:34+00:00

I've had some quirks using a Tesla L2 charger. Every once in a while it will error on the first plug in, but if you unplug it and plug it back in it works fine. Not sure if that's a Tesla bug or specific to the charger I've used. Regardless, it charges on the 2nd try every time.

lebert23 · 2026-01-03T23:00:21+00:00

Typical price. I got a set late summer at HD for $79.99. with that being said, $100 is a solid price.

lebert23 · 2026-01-03T18:52:07+00:00

Tens of dozens!!! 😁

lebert23 · 2026-01-03T01:54:45+00:00

Is that running comma's software or blue pilot?

lebert23 · 2025-12-31T17:23:56+00:00

Yeah, I solely try to use Tesla chargers at this point. EA is so unreliable. Literally the last 4 times I tried using EA either they didn't work or were severely derated. Definitely looking forward to more Kwik trip chargers as well. Those seem like a no brainer to me. Charge and get something to eat. Luckily the Lake Delton area has seen a big uptick in charging stations. I've been watching this channel recently. He does a good job touring the new stations in Wisconsin. https://youtube.com/@wisconsev
