  1. First crashed INTO Lightning?

    Not sure what happened first but I almost cried… 😒😢 Notice the missing coupling mechanism… and the holy tailgate. We’ll find out soon how long it takes to get a tailgate and bumper…
  2. Interesting Tax Topic: Does the purchase of a Lightning Qualify for Federal Solar Tax Incentive

    I mostly asked this question as the current laws and incentives do not account for dual devices. I do think that one could (I won’t be) argue that for the amount of time the truck is hooked up to the house with a HIS, you could proportionally adjust that amount of time as as a battery and...
  3. POLL: If you've taken delivery (of an ER), have you been contacted about your Charge Station Pro?

    Update: I updated my vote. I received a confirmation of address email but never received a tracking number until I called SunRun and was given the tracking number. That was a day before the charger was supposed to be delivered. I unfortunately was leaving on a plane the next morning so that was...
  4. Sign our Petition to Make Tesla Superchargers and Plugs the U.S. Standard

    Using Tesla IP connectors as an Industry standard does not compute. Its pretty simple that if Tesla (or Apple with Lightning connectors) wanted to make their IP the standard, that they would give SAE or the SDO and the industry the ownership and management of the IP and everyone would benefit...
  5. F-150 Lightning Intelligent Backup Power: 15 questions answered by Ford

    Well, I might beat you to it then... I will be sure to post some installation pics/videos if I can.
  6. F-150 Lightning Intelligent Backup Power: 15 questions answered by Ford

    @tommolog Will you be doing an install video on the HIS at some point in the future? I am installing Solar and I think our electrician is kind of in the dark on some of this as well and I think anything helps at this point. I am very interested in understanding how the system works and its...
  7. NW deliveries

    I would only tell you guys that this helps... Freight Rail Map of Class I Carriers in North America - ACW Railway Company I think there is a better interactive one out there as well. Spokane would almost surely be BNSF as ours traveled through North Dakota, Northern Montana, and Northern Idaho...
  8. Bluecruise Adjustments needed?

    I have been really liking Bluecruise but notice that it rides a little too close for comfort on the passenger side. I am assuming this is because it will defer to the passenger side as it assumes you aren’t driving and passing people. Anyone know if there is a way to adjust where in the lane the...
  9. Owners - Do you drive in one pedal mode or traditional ?

    I have never had a EV before and was traditional for the first week. After reading a post on brake dust and the benefits of one-pedal I started to try it out more and now I try to do one-pedal the majority of the time. SO I guess I would consider myself one-pedal now, but its only been a week...
  10. BlueCruise city driving vibration

    I have to ask and am assuming not, but you're not referring to the lane assist steering wheel vibration, right? This happens when you are either in steer assist or blue cruise and your go over the line. It vibrates the steering wheel to wake you if you are dozing off...
  11. Charge Station Pro and Home Integration System self-install

    What I think would be great here is for someone to post a video of their system with the covers off the boxes once it is installed. I have always been suspicious that there has never been a video showing the actual system and how it works. I would love to see Ask This Old House do something on...
  12. My HiS (Home Integration System) has arrived!

    @RDeFran Did you end up installing this yet? My electrician is submitting permits and I was wondering how far you’ve gotten on this journey…
  13. POLL: If you've taken delivery (of an ER), have you been contacted about your Charge Station Pro?

    Purchased 6/23. Got email and confirmed 6/30. No tracking number just yet, but it was today... Interesting aspect is that I got the email three days after "vehicle reported sold" date. I think the email has more to-do with that than anything else. I would venture a guess that the process...
  14. Interesting Tax Topic: Does the purchase of a Lightning Qualify for Federal Solar Tax Incentive

    To be fair, its both. Especially if its usable. Thats the interesting aspect. The intent of the laws are to incentivize the move of folks to solar and or electric vehicles. I would assume that Ford and maybe others are potentially advocating (read as "lobbying", and if they are not they should...
  15. Interesting Tax Topic: Does the purchase of a Lightning Qualify for Federal Solar Tax Incentive

    I figure as much on this case, but I do think the intent of the law is being met as it checks the box for energy storage and it’s ability to store solar power for usage. It also allows for the ability to reduce grid issues. In future legislation, these aspects should be discussed for sure...
  16. Interesting Tax Topic: Does the purchase of a Lightning Qualify for Federal Solar Tax Incentive

    I would direct this at any tax professionals (looking maybe at you @TaxmanHog ) but after reading through a page on Federal Tax Incentives for Solar installs (which we are doing in conjunction with our LIghtning Purchase), would the LIghtning purchase itself qualify as a Energy Storage Device...
  17. F-150 Lightning acceleration sound - like it or not?

    If I remember call correctly, the propulsion sound is internal ti the cabin. I could be wrong...
  18. F-150 Lightning acceleration sound - like it or not?

    Not in my Lariat... SO it looks like that goes along with the messaging seats and the bigger rims ;)
  19. F-150 Lightning acceleration sound - like it or not?

    I am unable to find the propulsion sounds toggle on my Lariat ER. I believe we can confirm the lack of the sound at least for the Lariat. Hey @FordTough98198 , You have a propulsion sounds toggle anywhere in your menus on your platinum?
