Ok - back with an update. We had power restored at 2:30 pm today - so, about 31 hours without power. The truck started providing power at 98% SoC - when I took the last extension cord off, it had 85%. 31 hours for 13%? I will take that any day. To recap, I powered my 28 cu. ft. fridge, my...

Gotta be the angle. No damage here!

I live in the country, so I just routed it under a storm door and locked that. Now that the storm is over, my next plan is to install a transfer switch - IMO they should be standard on all Florida homes. (My home was built in 1938, so I can understand why one isn’t installed!)

We’re ~20 miles west of you. Same deal here - no ETA yet on restoration of power and our yard looks like it has more branches and leaves than grass. Two trees down. Stay safe - you will love the Lightning when you get it. I still haven’t seen one in the wild.

Update - still no power. Truck has lost 15% of charge in the past 24 hours. My neighbors keep pouring gas into their generators - I’m just cruising along. 100% would recommend

I am - through a UPS. It’s running my router and Starlink just fine.

Not yet, the crew hasn’t even made it out yet. We’re almost through the major rain/wind, so it should be soon.

Power went out at 7 am - we’re in business! Thankful for the truck.

Figured I would start a thread here on things I'm considering and/or will learn with the approach of Hurricane Ian this week. Feel free to add any tips/tricks/ideas to this thread so that someone can get the most out of their Lightning when a natural disaster hits. First of all, I do not have...

Had the same thing happen to me today as well. On top of that, got a charging fault at the location I stopped at. Called EVGo to fix...

I received my Ford Charge Station Pro this past week, but don't have a use for it at my home. Selling it for $900 + shipping if located out of the Central Florida area.

I had Granger’s email open and negotiated based on that price. Ended up paying $100 more than their price. https://www.f150lightningforum.com/forum/threads/50-over-cost-on-your-ford-extended-warranty-grangerford.10265/ (Highly recommend going with Granger Ford, however. Only reason I did it...

Sorry - yes, they tried to add $30k ADM after “completing my purchase” via Ford.com online. Said I “offered” to pay $30k more than the MSRP a on the order form. That’s where I needed to “hold the line” and shove it back in their face that I had completed my purchase at $81,304.

No, it worked. I just was prepared if it didn’t.

Geez - any way you can do the purchase and then refinance with your preferred lender? Hate that you’ve had to wait so long…
