It's definitely been a frustrating process and the chaos/uncertainty around it sucks. I'm not suggesting you should change it, but I wouldn't be surprised if changing it kick started your delivery.

when they're disabled, do they stay on anyways?

Are you still configured for OC?

How? The Lightning isn't being sold for a loss, so you clearly know nothing about it. Your family will confirm.

There are many reason for newly built vehicles to be held at the plant. For new production vehicles, the initial hold is because Ford doesn't ship them until the initial production batch gets "Okay to Buy" after additional quality control checks. After that, they'll sometimes accumulate at the...

They were referring to Rivian. Interesting that your misreading of the comment chain led to wildly baseless speculation about Ford losing money on Lightnings and misreporting numbers to hide it.

Sure, but you're keyed in on gear guard and I'm fairly certain that's not the primary culprit here. If it was, turning it off would make this problem go away, and by all reports that's not the case. Unless, of course, they unexpectedly and unreasonably designed and implemented a system that...

That's not true, most ECU nodes should be asleep even with gear guard on - that's the whole point of CAN bus. If sleep implementation wasn't an issue Rivian wouldn't be addressing it with their updates. For a company that markets itself as "Preserving the natural world. Forever." and making...

Are you an EE? Do you have experience designing low voltage automotive system architectures? Do you realize you're comparing apples and oranges? R1s aren't 3D folding proteins in their sleep. The issue is almost certainly excessive wake cycles and overly stringent environmental conditioning for...

Regen braking activates brake lights, so it's unlikely to be a contributor to rear end collision risk

lol are you suggesting adults can't have or share opinions you don't agree with?

If OP wants to solicit on a public message board, it's anyone's business that wants it to be to judge how and why. If he doesn't like the scrutiny, he's free to keep his private business private.

That's a great question! Because even in the U.S. of A., nuance exists and life is better for everyone when people approach business endeavors with at least some level of concern for doing right by others. Example: Scenario 1) someone reserves high demand/low supply property with intent to use...

"I want to make lots of money"

I'm not aware of any other EVs that use this much power to maintain such precise environmental conditions for the battery pack.

I don't think that saying applies to the founder and CEO of a company who's already inextricably linked to their financial well being.

You mean R1T?

Not trying to get snippy with anyone, enjoy your trucks!

Lol if that was your takeaway... https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia/fna/us/en/news/2022/04/26/production-begins-f-150-lightning.html I'm just poking fun at how easy this info is to find and verify, and suggesting to fellow Internet strangers that maybe they can/should do it for...
