Makes sense.

Yeah PlugShare is my go to for double checking things, but I will start out with Apple Maps, Electrify America, and Tesla since I now have my adapter. I like PlugShare though because you can sort by only showing fast chargers. Also users will say if something is down.

Not sure about the “oil life monitor” since I have electric, but I found the “tire pressure monitor” under the “service” tab and clicking on “vehicle health”

I’m glad to hear that’s working for you.

Strangely enough my phone started wirelessly connecting to my 2nd phone that doesn’t have the app so I guess I’m having those issues too. :-)

Agreed. There are some adjustments you can do in the new app now, but it would be nicer if it was easier to set this in the truck.

Yeah that makes sense. I paid $600 for my 2022 Sienna. It’s a whole lot more than they should charge for sure.

Yeah I hope they add some back for sure.

Thanks for watching Paul. Yeah I have not been impressed with Ford’s apps yet either the old one or the new one. I also have the Toyota app because my wife has a Sienna and really like that app. They also just updated theirs and it is even better. I haven’t played with the Tesla app much except when renting it, so I can’t say yes or no on that one right now. All of that to say thank you for your comment. You make some good points, and you are preaching to the choir here.

@@F150LightningMike I should add that I love the truck. I really REALLY wish I was able to get a Lariat ER. But I added Clazzio custom leather seat covers and paint matched mirror caps and door handle caps. So it’s a poor man’s Lariat. Lol. I don’t need the added range but it would be nice to see a higher number when at 90 percent. Especially in the winter.

Way to go. I think you should be able to call yours a Lariat now. You got my vote :-)

I wasn’t really sure what to think, but I realized after testing it out that I don’t like it as much. They just made my wife’s phone update so I tested her to see if she could figure out how to remote start. It took her like 3 minutes to figure out it was the fan symbol, but she did like the climate adjustments she could do.

That is a great idea. Charging rate adjustment would be awesome.

Plug in. I saw it but didn't adjust as I was near 100%. But i saw the ability to adjust amperage. At least an adjustment level from 0 to 80 amps. I only have my wall charger maxed.for.now at 40 amps. 60 possible.

I’ll look for that next time I plug in thanks. Also, I just recorded a video using my new adapter at a Tesla Supercharger, which went really interesting. Anyways I didn’t notice it then, but I wasn’t looking.

@F150LightningMike I ordered my adapter 1st chance Feb 29. Still waiting..man I really look forward to it.

@@rcfreeman I ordered mine two weeks ago just before driving off the lot with my '23 Pro and now see an October '24 delivery.

Agreed, LJ, I do like that you can adjust the climate and the charge speed easily. As far as the trip planning I think they did some market research and found that most people weren’t using it. I did a few times just to test it out, but then stuck with Apple Maps especially once they started showing the charge percentage.

Where do you activate dark mode? I looked everywhere and can’t figure it out.

@@jennifercarr6451 if you have an android phone, go to display settings and toggle "dark theme" to on. All your apps will switch over to dark mode natively. That's my default setting on my Motorola G play, it's easy on my eyes especially when I'm using my phone in the dark room.

@@jennifercarr6451 on android phone, display settings, turn dark theme mode on to run natively any app in dark mode.

Not sure all the details around the firing of so many people, but it does seem a little weird.

I like mine. The cybertruck is futuristic looking for sure, but the Lightning does have a lot more room in my opinion. I guess I’m boring cause I like it. :-)

Yeah I didn’t like the old map either, but I didn’t use it much so maybe I won’t miss it.

Yeah I’ve heard things like that from several people.

I’m glad to hear that it works better for you on a Pixel.

Good to know. Yeah it has definitely been slow and buggy for me too.

In my experience driving under 55 will get you an average of 2.7 and above depending on whether or not it’s in town with lots of stop lights. So it looks like they fixed whatever was wrong with it.

Awesome! Congrats! Thank you for watching!

Agreed! Thank you for watching. Hopefully it gets less glitchy soon.

Thank you for watching and subscribing. Let me know if you have any questions, and I might create a video about it.

I can’t find that anywhere. Do you happen to know how to get back to it?

@@F150LightningMike it’s at the bottom of the “vehicle“ tab. You need to scroll down to see it. After flipping back, the “home“ tab has the option to go forward again.

This is a terrible update. Owner cannot enter in your own service record and they took away the manual reference.

I don’t see the “previous version” anywhere, but I’ll keep looking. Maybe you had the beta version?

@@F150LightningMike Screen says I have v4.37.0 FordPass. Nothing special. The “previous version“ button is just below Location and Settings, but not visible unless you slide the screen up.

Yeah I guess so. I have hope they will update it again soon.

Where do set dark mode? I don’t see it in the app.

@@BenCapili It is picking up the dark mode setting from my phone. Android -> settings-> dark theme: on

Good to know.

Also... Dark mode

That’s good to know about tapping the bar to change percentage. I’m glad it’s working good for you, it’s just been slow for me and it literally just updated today for me so I kinda rushed this video out before I had a chance to figure it all out. So I appreciate your thoughts on it.

Yep I found it. Thank you.

Agreed. I have hope it will get better though.

Agreed. I have hope it will get better though.

Christian … lol … this is the best comment. Your thoughts about the tailgate really made me laugh. While you are correct. They should have proximity sensors that would not allow it to open. I’m gonna have to take the blame on that one more so than the truck because I should’ve not actually pushed the button :-) As far as the other things and functionality, I think I’ll probably do another video in a few weeks or so about it. Maybe after I get it figured out more maybe by that time it won’t be locking up on us so much.

I don’t know if this will fully answer your question, but how I got mine set up is one day after I updated my iPhone I got a notification that asked me if I wanted to see the charge levels from my truck on Maps and I clicked yes. It might be because I have my phone connected to the truck. It also might be because I have my phone set up as a key, I’m actually not fully sure but I think there is a setting within the iPhone or the truck that turns it on, but I am not able to find it after already having it on.

I just looked again and if you have an iPhone you can click on your picture on the right bottom of the map screen. Then a list pops up with “ favorites”, “ guides”, “off-line maps”, “ reports”, “ vehicles”, & “preferences”. My truck is listed under “vehicles” and it looks like I can click on that and change it so maybe that is where you can click and add your truck.

Yeah I would. It’s seems that only a few Ford dealers truly know how to work on EVs. Your 1st maintenance should be at 10k. Also, they only need to rotate tires and do a 25 point inspection. So it should not cost very much and not take very long. The only exception is if you talk to them about recalls. They may not know how long it will take to do those. Even still I would probably find another Ford dealer.

Probably closer to 1.5/1.7 m/kw if it's anything like my lightning 😆

Don’t get me wrong, I do love how the lightning looks and the versatility. I am needing a truck and this bolt is pretty cramped. What kind of mi/kWh to you get when you hyper mile it? The best range I’ve seen so far was 270 miles on a full charge.

Speed really does kill the range. 80 is about 1.5 -1.7 as Johnny said and it goes down from there if you go faster. Also BlueCruise only works up to 80mph.

@@crspeedautoreviews-yw2iq I've been about to get 2.3-2.6 mi/kw for the non-highway trips in ideal conditions, but personally never tried to hyper mile it. Base battery is 98kw, so maybe spring for the extended range battery. Honestly that's our buyer's remorse, not getting the extended range. Our base XLT gets us everywhere we NEED to go comfortably, but gotta charge on longer trips over 200mi. Not terrible, but we would prefer to always charge at home ;)

@@johnnyv9024 thanks 😎.

Awesome … yeah I love my lariat trim too! If you haven’t seen my other videos about sport mode and pro power onboard you should try it and see if it helps your range. Turn off pro power onboard and use sport mode.

@@F150LightningMike I have. They are all great. Just saw the redid the ford app. Do not like it.

Yeah me neither. It got rid of some things that I liked.

@@F150LightningMike I liked the map on it. Maybe they will add it back.

Not sure. It seems like they are going to be a get tied in with Google maps a little more.

Awesome! I hope you love it as much as I love mine.

That seems a bit much for wiper blades and a tire rotation. Although maybe not. My wipers were about $74 from Autozone.

Thank you. Yeah that’s what I was thinking.

Thank you Phil!

Thank you.

Thank you for watching. I’m happy that sport mode worked for you, and I agree it would be nice not to have to remember to push ok. I’m interested to hear what 1 pedal normal does for you. Summer should be better. I’m planning to do a couple more tests with it too in the summer. 1) only highway & 2) only in town. I’m guessing if I’m doing all highway with cruise control on it won’t matter that much. Just curious too, what state do you live in?

I live in New Jersey. My 2nd year will be up at the end of September. I’ll let you know around that time how I end up doing with normal 1 Pedal Driving for the 12-month period.

Thank you that would be great.

Awesome! Congratulations!

Thank you for watching

I can’t control the amount of regen. Except through putting it in sport mode which is about half the amount of 1-pedal drive which doesn’t matter when you are coming up on a stop light. Because once you apply the brake pedal it will use more based on how hard you press the pedal. If you press it too hard though you will use the brake pads, hence the reason for “brake coach”

@@F150LightningMike excellent Mike thank you so much. I’m loving your videos and I’m getting more and more excited about buying hours. It seems like you can basically control it using the brake pedal itself, and the friction breaks only come to play when you push it more aggressively or when you get to the end of the region paddle travel.

Thank you for watching. I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos. If you haven’t seen this test that I finished recently about one pedal drive versus sport mode it might help you understand a little more about the breaking even with one peddle drive.

Good points Rick. Thank you.

Great ideas @ejt3708 I’ll put them on my lists.

42 on my new tires.

Here’s a road test I did right after I got my new tires. This is going to and from Denver. Lightning Mike - New Tires - First Road Test ruclips.net/video/Pgx_j9Y2hZU/видео.html

Thank you so much!

Yep…it’s beautiful here.

Thank you.

Thanks for watching.

I have the update that allows supercharging at Tesla from back in March but that’s it.
