Pulled my Lightning into the garage after being driven on our sloppy roads here today. Needed charging, so I plugged it in. Normally I keep the garage around 40 degrees and the snow melts off the vehicles slowly enough that the water evaporates from the floor before its an issues. But when...

Speculating why Ford would not want to keep selling the Lightning Pr for $39k. Some people say they lose money on each one, but I think that is unliklely. I do however hink they make _less_ profit compared to selling a comparable ICE model. And the EV is a much nicer truck in many ways...

Probably coming soon on his Youtube channel, but posted on twitter:

Charge networks could encourage charging only to 85% with a couple of simple software changes. A: When charge hits 85%, stop charging. Display a message explaining how charging over 85% wastes everyone's time. Ask them to let others have a turn if people are waiting. B: If people are waiting...

I went with my wife and teenage son and his girlfriend to window shop vehicles to consider to replace my Wife's aging Ford Explorer. We drove a Rivian R1S. The Rivian, like a Tesla, ALWAYS does Regen when you let off the accelerator pedal. I had some experience driving Teslas before and...

Not being a Tesla owner and only having test driven them on a few occasions, it took me a while to fully grok that Teslas don't do blended braking from their brake pedal. They only regen with one-pedal driving when you lift off the accelerator. Apparently some other EV's have tried blended...

I am casually on the lookout to upgrade my Pro to have the larger battery (ER) which was only available via fleet orders, but sometimes available when dealers have undelivered fleet orders, etc. Searching the internet listings, I came across a Lightning Pro "SSV" with the larger battery. SSV =...

The other day, I was attaching my utility trailer to my Lightning, and I contemplated did I even need to be turning the truck "off". I realized that it wasn't even an issue. In the bad old days of connecting trailers with an ICE vehicle, every time you have to hop out of the truck to mess with...

On my road trip towing my boat this past weekend, there were some things I wish I had brought with me: Wheel chocks to use when its necessary to unhitch the trailer during charging in a parking lot that might not be exactly level. I ended up improvising using an extra set of shoes as chocks...

Towed our boat to a family gathering in central MN this past weekend. Previously tested this setup at 0.9 to 1.0 Mi/kWh, but facing pretty strong winds on Thursday, the mileage was crushed down to 0.7 mi/kWh for some stretches of the trip. Even when the wind was more of a side wind (WNW while...

Just migrated all my apps to a new phone. Ford app says my truck is 58% charged, but has "0 mi. est distance to empty". @Ford Motor Company, how hard can it actually be to get the estimated range value from the truck to the screen?

Adapter on Ford parts:

Compared to the Cybertruck AWD, the Ford Lightning ER is: Faster Lighter Cheaper Actually available 18 months ago. Larger battery Faster charging curve 20-80% Larger interior. Larger total cargo volume. Bad volume is within a couple of cubic feet. What is a Cybertruck driver going to put in...
