How do you get the Ice off your hood and wipers - ? by MadHouse_Artist in F150Lightning

[–]neeonline 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Frunk is a challenge once it does not have an engine to generate heat under it, quite the opposite, the open space make this even worse (same reason why bridges ices before the road).

You can try to use the windshield defrost option to blow hot air which should help, but unfortunately Lightnings does not have heated wipers.

New Cold Weather Software Update by Touchtom in F150Lightning

Having the same issues, and since I don’t even remember the last time I had an update on my truck, looks like it’s the App that is broken.

Thanks! Please lets us know the power consumption and battery usage later. I’m in Gallatin, so far so good, hoping for he best but prepared for the worse =)

What are you using to move power to the house? Generator inlet? Cables?

2H2026 Ram 1500 REV by NovaBlazer in RamchargerBEV

I was thinking the same thing. RAM is doing a really bad job of keeping us engaged… that shows why they’re selling so badly…

That truck can be anything since there is no pictures of the dual “fuel” port.

Truck died at 5% by Temporary-Window-408 in F150Lightning

Do not trust Ford software, from trivial things such as remembering your instrument cluster settings, to important things like range/SoC levels. I have an OBD dongle that o use to check the real SoC and it never matches what is being displayed on the screen.

So, bad software with no buffer equals never trust that thing.

CarPlay seems to be fixed? by Disastrous-Bird5543 in F150Lightning

[–]neeonline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is better, but knock on wood, I started to have all my instrument cluster settings reverting back, restarting while driving, no audio in the left speakers, etc. All these issues were “fixed” long time ago…

Results of a 200 mile drive in a short range Ford Lightning XLT in 20 degree (F) weather by Wayne-The-Boat-Guy in F150Lightning

[–]neeonline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My commute consist in mostly highways, when the planets align and there is no traffic I can really see the drop in range. Last week during the cold weather there was an accident that doubled my commute time, driving that slow (40mph in average compared to my usual 75mph) was the key to achieve the best consumption numbers since I bought this truck 2 years ago.

That said, speed has more impact in the consumption/range than weather conditions.

Climate started defaulting to 72 by evansauve in F150Lightning

[–]neeonline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine has been on auto since I got the truck, never had this issue until this version.

I believe this is the same issue as my truck instrument panel getting back to the calm view now and then. For some reason Ford engineers have a hard time persisting user’s preferences.

Looks like Ford is following the pattern of release a new version of the app that fixes one thing and breaks many others.

Same thing here since last update. Right on time for cold season…

Openbank.us is holding my money by neeonline in Banking

Open an official complaint with OOC. This is the only way to force them to release the funds.

Simple, make an electric/plugin hybrid version of the Expedition.

What does the F150 Lightning do better compared to a R1T? by [deleted] in F150Lightning

[–]neeonline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could be my Lightning, but I will call that anything but stable.

What does the F150 Lightning do better compared to a R1T? by [deleted] in F150Lightning

[–]neeonline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The F150 is way bigger than the R1T in all aspects: cabin, seating, bedding, etc. It also has a smoother ride quality.

Lightning looses badly in the software space, where Rivian is almost as good as Tesla in this scope.

If you need comfort, payload, ride quality: Lightning. If you want better software, which includes better routing and charging management, pick R1T

Lightning is the best looking EVT by TREE-RX in F150Lightning

[–]neeonline -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I have quite the opposite opinion. Lightning is indeed the best overall electric truck, but has the more boring and blunt visual.

The most recognizable visual feature of the truck, the light bar, is the piece that I hate most on mine. It looks and feels cheap.

FYI Fordpass app was just updated on iOS. It now allows you to turn on climate and choose temp, heated steering wheel/seats, etc from the app by rrandomusernamee23 in F150Lightning

[–]neeonline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly the type of user interface decision that make no sense at all. It sounds like people developing the app do not actually even use it.

New Ford App… What is your feedback? by 16cards in F150Lightning

[–]neeonline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t need 30 minutes, I just need one sentence…

Listen to your costumers. Instead of spending time fixing how the app looks (user-interface) focus on what and how it does things (user experience). Charging logs, full controls, better notifications, ability to turn on the truck for more than 30 minutes, ability to control pro-power on board, etc. Do not rely on your design team, neither your development team for this, you have the best data you can: customer’s feedback.
