no offense, just clarification, as the OP's Headline is still saying the same...

correction for the OP: at about 3:40 in the video they talk about the differences: Ford designs the basic 'non-max tow' version with a single loop that serves the whole truck: air conditioning(cab), motors, radiator, inverters, etc., and battery cooling. The optional MAX TOW version is...

I think 'hearing' from dealers is part of the problem. Dealers, or their employees, rarely own or drive a LIGHTNING, or any ev, for that matter, yet, they somehow have 'heard' that 'this or that' can cause an issue... why would they even SAY that? Are they trying to talk you OUT of a...

you express what many folks would pawn for... and you are also somewhat 'paying' for that same pleasure with mileage on your machine... but... I'd look at it from a different light: the truck has not given you any issues, so, why dream that it will. The battery, yes, probably has some type...

I'm not sure that this is actually anything to do with 'tripping' because of high amperage, and it may be more about the GFCI aspect of the Lightning's electrical design - it is VERY sensitive, even though it may 'work' at times, for some amount of time, and sometimes not at all... for...

at almost 50,000 miles, mine still look pristine, and I live in Georgia, too.... nice roads. FORD asked 'why' when I inquired the other day about the pricing of a new set....

at first, just seeing a dry build up of 'grease' on the lower control arm casting was not a big red flag... at least, until I went and looked at the other side and it looked like it was just shipped from the factory: clean. the boots are to not only CONTAIN the grease for the moving parts...

I mentioned a caking/leaking of grease around the driver's rear axle, on the tire end, the other day at my 50,000 mile checkup... they replaced the whole Drive Axle assembly today, in about 3 hours, although I heard a lot of 'banging and hammering' during the process... I was told that it's...

I think the 'like' to this Eaton 'Built-in EVSE' Breaker set is that you are not only replacing the many different and various EVSE module options that all of us choose from, and replace it with a Dedicated 'direct from the panel' J1772 charge cable... but, this design is NOT simply just the...

the interview with EATON staffs shows that they are, yes, working on a 'larger' EVSE BREAKER set, for 48amp charging... too I like this idea for at-home charging... and, like always, a mobile EVSE is likely something we'll all continue to carry in our vehicles...

Here's an amazing new option for 'at home' charging: A new EV Charging BREAKER, all-in-one build... taking the place of our traditional EVSE MODULE... https://www.eaton.com/us/en-us/skuPage.BREVEM2040.html...

no doubt, as the 'road tax fee' most of us now have added to our annual Vehicle Registration($200+ here in Georgia), needs to be integrated into this overall 'annual' average.

I think the LIGHTNING, or any electric vehicle, is going to make constant on-grid/off-grid systems difficult to integrate - the truck is designed to CHARGE, and is designed to provide POWER output, but not the same way a bank of batteries for your solar system is. It 'can' provide similar...

my Ford dealer told me just yesterday that the 'average' mid-level trim F150 GAS truck is about $70,000 MSRP... and, of course, no tax credits. Now, even comparing the starting PRICE of a vehicle, which can also be subject to 'equal' comparisons, is still difficult, since you aren't really on...

agreed: my 'at home' easy pricing for overnight charging, for both our LIGHTNING and our KIA EV9 runs an average of $2.50 per day, and that's mainly because my wife commutes 65 miles per day in her KIA to work and back... when traveling, especially when towing our camper, our 'average' DC...

with 49,00 miles, I just today had my first and only trip to my dealer, thus far, for a 50,000 mile 'checkup'... $44.32 nothing to do, other than a tire rotation... brake pads are just fine. Everything is just fine. I declined all recall and customer satisfaction updates.

Tesla map shows this as a "NACS Compatible" location, but not an "Other EV", location... I think that both of these instances show that Tesla is now RELEASING their own adapter for our "NACS Compatible" locations for FORD< RIVIAN< and GM... but this does NOT mean that this is a 'magic dock'...

Don't buy into the 'hype' that most companies will portray as 'easy', when it comes to 'whole home' backup power... this is simply NOT something a vehicle manufacturer can simply make easy - you are dealing with UTILITY power, and your own home's WIRING, and so many other variables - it is NOT...

all new/newer V4 units have the 'magic dock' ADAPTER built in, although not ALL are ACTIVATED for "Other EV" usage, but WILL work for us FORDs with our OWN adapter... it's confusing right now since many of these newer units 'look' like they have the adapter, and yet don't release it for "Other...

watching KYLE on his newest GM Denali EV TRUCK(similar to the Lightning PLATINUM version, at $$99,0000000000000)... it has the 800v battery charging architecture, and can charge 'faster', yes... but, remember, too... while the truck can charge 'faster', it also has a 200kwh battery pack...
