I keep seeing the power units on the F-150 Lightning, and I’m wondering… ?

Ok, so we all know I charged at work for the first year I had the Smurfmobile. Now that I am working in the F-150 Lightning plant, I don’t have access to the chargers at work anymore, so I am using my home ESVE to charge. My question is this… I have a charging schedule to take advantage of off...

Yes, I totally get tie irony.

So, your friendly neighborhood Dimwit was happily driving home from work today, when the bed was suddenly full of feces. In traffic, I was attempting to pass slower traffic (they were doing 30 in a 50) and as a clearing appeared, I hit the accelerator and changed lanes. But, there was no power...

I started there today, just in time for the first customer trucks to be built. It was a good day.

The timing was fortuitous. Because I had a short overnight trip planned, which gave me a chance to try it out. The first thing I noticed was that active lane centering on surface streets seems better to me. Like less fighting against the wheel is required. Once I got onto the expressway, and...

It was bound to happen eventually. ?

First?

So, after a blistering week that saw me get 4 updates within 7 days, it has now been 5 days without another. Do we thing this is just a lull in the storm, or are they evaluating the vehicles reactions to having that many updates pushed at them that quickly? Or, is it something altogether...

So, yesterday I did an update while charging at work. I have that charging location set to 95% for the winter, but it charged all the way to 100%. I think this was due to the update, but for the purpose of this discussion it really doesn’t matter. When I looked at my driving data, it said I used...

Ok, so I just drove home from work after updating to 2.4.4. I use intelligent cruise control to combat my lead foot. For some reason, the car slowed to [speed limit +2] -25mph on 4 or 5 separate occasions. I’m not sure why, it showed the correct speed limit on the gauge cluster screen, but the...

Went out to the car (I’m at work) to install the tokens for advanced analytics, and noticed another update upcoming icon. So, after setting the car for the AA program, I started the new update. I’ll let you know if anything looks different.

So, in December I noticed the disengag/reengage button on the steering wheel (center, left side cluster) the dot on the right side was getting larger. I figured since I was almost due for my 20,000 mile service, I would bring it up then. I brought the issue up with my service advisor, and he...

Good times.

I had to take the Smurfmobile in to get the windshield washer system fixed this morning. While I was sitting there, admiring the empty showroom, it dawned on me that I should pick up the rubber mat for the cargo area.today. I casually strolled over to the parts counter where I had looked into...

But, the Holley High Voltage Experience sounds like a cool event.

My current thought is to hot glue it in, but I’m looking for other ideas that are minimally invasive, and therefore easily removed when it is time to move on from this car. i have already thought about printing something, or more accurately having a friend print something, but I’m unsure how to...

Does that mean literally ? As in: 1:00:00 - charge hits 100% 1:00:01 - disconnect from charger 1:00:30 get in car, drive away -OR- 1:00:00 - Charge hits 100% 2:30:00 - unplug car 2:30:30 - Drive away. ????? In other words, if I’m leaving on a trip in the morning, and want the car fully...

Just kidding. But, that is my Mach-E charging beside 2 F-150 Lightnings, at the new REVC (Rouge Electric Vehicle Center) plant.

Asking for a friend. ?
