  1. FRUNK failure issue will not close or open w/ "Frunk Malfunction See Manual" message

    They probably had NOS of 1990's Lincoln Towncar trunk latches and decided to use them. Most likely the exact same mechanism as it operates identically. On the Lincolns, you press the button and the latch rises then releases, just the opposite when closing. I changed a boat load of those damned...
  2. Atlas Truck?

    I was following the Atlis for a while, when they started spamming my email with investors wanted solicitations, I unsubscribed from their email list. The only tangible item they had to show at the time was a full size unfinished plywood shell.
  3. Who is installing solar as part of their Lightning purchase?

    Already have an array on the roof, it's limited to 6kW by regulations for grid tied systems on residential applications in my area or else I'd have my entire roof covered. Perhaps I'll add more panels and a power wall or 2 later on when the cost comes down.
  4. Lighting F150 Spotted w/ Sport Bar, Window Deflectors, Mudflaps

    Those vent visors look like the ones I have on my truck. They're AVS low profile. Put a set on back in 2013, they still look good to this day. As for the other stuff, no thanks.
  5. Home Integration Kit Data and Pricing For F-150 Lightning = $3,700

    I C said the blond man. :cool: my system is leased. When I had them installed they had a program where I donate my tax credit to an investor which in turn pays a company for parts and labor to hook it all up and costs me $0.00. The lease part comes in just under $50/mnth and covers maintenance...
  6. Jim Farley: F-150 Lightning Sold Out For 2-3 Years, Reservations Stopped at 200k

    SSD = Solid State Drive, as in computer storage. You mean SSB, Solid State Battery.
  7. Jim Farley: F-150 Lightning Sold Out For 2-3 Years, Reservations Stopped at 200k

    You'll see SS batteries in cell phones, laptops, smart watches etc, long before you'll see them in EV's.
  8. Home Integration Kit Data and Pricing For F-150 Lightning = $3,700

    I remember that and why the pressure was depleted, frozen valves. It doesn't or should I say hasn't ever got that cold for that long where I am. (knock on wood) but point taken. It's something I just don't worry about as I can easily flip a switch on the gen and use LPG to run it.
  9. Home Integration Kit Data and Pricing For F-150 Lightning = $3,700

    Natural gas fed. Would take something close to a nuclear war in my area to knock out that supply.
  10. Home Integration Kit Data and Pricing For F-150 Lightning = $3,700

    Any reason you can't use your roof? That's where most systems get installed anyway. Mine is and all my neighbors the same. I wanted to completely cover my roof but they have a residential limit of 6kW in my area for grid tied. I could put more up but would have to have a battery setup for it.
  11. Home Integration Kit Data and Pricing For F-150 Lightning = $3,700

    If you have space on your land they make racks to install panels on other than the roof. Set them up on the south side of the home or in a field. https://www.sgesolar.com/all-about-ground-mounts/ You can build them as easily to save some coin. Videos on youtube.
  12. Home Integration Kit Data and Pricing For F-150 Lightning = $3,700

    For not much more do what I did to power your home AND charge your truck when the grid goes down. https://www.powerequipmentdirect.com/Generac-Guardian-7226-0/p111027.html
  13. How do you plan on charging your lightning

    Roof top solar mostly, ours is tied to the grid, it's powering my bitcoin miners right now and what they don't use goes against the power company bill. My commute is only 3.4 miles round trip so I'll essentially be driving it for free other than the note and insurance that is. Our electric rate...
  14. Lightning vs R1T - Timing and cost

    In the grand scheme of events that have unfolded recently, it no longer matters to me. The point is we were lied to.
  15. Lightning vs R1T - Timing and cost

    Yeah I'd say so, $70,000 at a time. What you fail to realize is they did it to EVERYONE, not just one or two or even half a dozen. They tried to zap every single person that ordered. Or are you saying they simply wish to go out of business before they even get into it? :unsure:..........?‍♂️
  16. Lightning vs R1T - Timing and cost

    Shake seventy thousand (70,000) USD off income for what sane reason? I doubt your theory is valid when any amount of money is concerned much less approaching a 6 digit transaction. That's not how businesses stay in business.
  17. Lightning vs R1T - Timing and cost

    Good luck with that future relationship, I mean that sincerely, I will give my trust out in good faith at first to just about anyone and when it's shattered like it was with this transaction, takes a whole lot to earn back a fraction of that trust especially with so much $$ on the line. I...
  18. Lightning vs R1T - Timing and cost

    No scheme, I am one of those that cancelled an order. They screwed up in a major way. I got the same email and while it's nice and all, the damage is done, how can anyone trust them to not pull some crap like that again? I can't. Mom use to say: "Get me once, shame on you, get me twice, shame on...
  19. Lightning vs R1T - Timing and cost

    I'm back on the Lightning train, I cancelled my R1T reservation. They jacked up my preorder from $70,xxx to just over $83,xxx Same truck, same options. Rivian can kiss my behind! I predict a lot of people jumping from that sinking ship.
  20. Lightning Rear wheel steering

    Last I heard is the feature was delayed due to technical issues with getting the wheel traction measurements individually in order to take advantage of the feature. Safely It may be delayed for the R1 series but their team is already planning the R2 and 3 series and they have not given up on...
