Pissed a little ( well maybe more)

I don't have direct experience with that however, I am a musician and I have run multiple all day concerts - 10 hours (including power hungry PA's, amp's and lights) off the truck for multiple bands and it did it only using 30 miles of range.

I'm sure if I lost power I could easily keep my refrigerators cold and run other items as needed via long extension cords.

I keep hearing about using extension cords off my truck. How do you hook up your furnace/ ac to an extension cord? Lights in the house?! That’s what we need. I can put food in coolers or bring to someone with a fridge. I can’t be stumbling around in the dark or unable to breathe or sleep from sweltering heat or severe cold weather. We are old. We are in our late 70’s and early 80’s. That’s why I put out the big bucks to ensure we wouldn’t suffer and perish in the extreme weather. Ford doesn’t care!! I’ve begged them for help and all they care about is their bottom line. Humans be damned!!

Flashlights, battery powered lamps. Flashlight on phone. Thats the easy part.

Your furnace/AC must be plugged in somewhere. But if that dire, then you probably need to consider a generator. The truck only has so much battery and if no power you cannot recharge.

I am not in your situation so you mileage may vary. But I have the extension cord plug all set if there an emergency. Good luck.

I bought my 2024 Lightning Flash in. July and now Ford is giving discount and free L2 charges for purchasers.
how about a little consideration for those of us who bought just for the product!

.
I bought my Lightning the end of September and they started this deal for the charger in October. I did go back to ask about it and they told me…. It’s all a numbers game, they give more discounts and you pay for the charger or give you less discounts and give you a charger.
I wouldn’t worry about it.

An interlock and a couple of parts from Home Depot.

Install yourself if you're comfortable. Get an inspection. Bam! Backup power.

Or have an electrician do it for you.
