  1. Halloween Monster Truck 🎃

    This Halloween, I transformed my Lightning into a true Monster Truck! Candy was available to those children brave enough to reach into the monster’s mouth. It was the hit of the neighborhood. All the adults wanted to know about the electric F150. Some of the thought the truck was on fire, it...
  2. Blocking Teslas at Superchargers?

    It’s a squeeze! But I got 170 kW+ from this Supercharger. Has anyone noticed that because our charge port is on the opposite side of the vehicle from Teslas, none of them can use the adjacent station while we’re charging? When we charge, we’re effectively blocking two charging stalls. Could be...

  4. Smart Solar Charging

    Having just expanded my Sun Power rooftop solar array and added a third Tesla Powerwall battery to my house, I'm trying to figure out the optimal charging plan for my three EVs (Lightning and two Mustang Mach-Es). Previously, with 20 solar panels producing 6 kW maximum, I wasn't able to charge...
  5. Lightning v. Mach-E: Same Miles/kWH??

    Friends: Having both a 2022 Lightning Lariat ER and a 2022 Mustang Mach-E GTPE, I've noticed they get roughly the same miles per kWH on long freeway trips, around 2.2 M/kWH. How could that be? If M/kWH is the equivalent of MPG in ICE cars, then the truck should get far lower M/kWH than the...
  6. Using Lightning as a Generator

    I'm starting a new thread on this to seek advice and counsel on my situation. Like others here, my home already has a solar PV array and three Tesla Powerwall batteries, managed by a Tesla Gateway. So installing Ford's Intelligent Backup Power system would be redundant. However, I would like...
  7. Reporter Takes a Lightning on the Road: 8 things we learned on an EV road trip

    A POLITICO reporter recently took a 2022 Lightning on a road trip to see if a long-distance journey was any easier than the one he and several colleagues made in an EV back in 2019. His findings are interesting.
  8. When Will Lightning Reservations Open Again?

    I realize Ford has a big backlog of existing reservations that they are slowly (and in waves) converting to firm orders for the 2023 Ligthning. Since I don't have an existing reservation, that doesn't apply to me. Does anyone know when Ford might open up the reservation system again? Or is it...
