Does anyone have a lead on some good stickers suitable for a laptop? Iām usually a tech sticker kind of guy, but want to show some love for my truck. Bonus points if you also know of some good Mach-E ones!
In case anyone was looking for a chest freezer/cooler for their Lightning, I saw these today. I already have one, but wanted to pass it along.

I was just playing with the build and price tool and noticed the Power Deployable Running Boards were back as an option. Has anyone seen these actually installed on a production truck? If so, has anyone figured out the various part numbers needed for them to retrofit on 2022/2023 models that...
This has happened a couple of times, but this is the first time Iāve gotten a picture of it. The speed stays on the right side in Calm mode. I also had loud beep/dongs when starting up.
Has anyone been able to charge their Lightning from a generator. I was trying to hook up my mobile charge station up to a 10kw DuroMax generator to see if I can charge my truck instead of driving 30mins to a DCFC and leaving the house without power.
I tried both with and without the ProPower...
We had a huge windstorm come through yesterday and lost power all over the city, including my house. My neighbors tree fell and took out a pole, so itās probably going to be a while.
Thankfully I was ready and had the cord layed out to switch to pro power on board. First time I did, it failed...
Iāve had the setup ready for a while, but finally got around to testing it all just to make sure it all works before this winter storm arrives.
A little about my setup, I am all electric and have 400A service and had a full panel upgrade done a little over a year ago. I now have 2 - 200A...
Going to get super cold later this week, but I did a short trip to Cincinnati to visit the zoo (festival of lights). One of the best parts was the zoo having FLO EV charging and parking right at the entrance, got to skip right to the front of the parking line!
Charged to 100% and pre...
So Iām an idiot and backed into my garbage can against my garage and it shattered my tail light.
I looked up the part of parts.ford.com and it shows 13404 as the part number, but wasnāt sure if that was the same as the ICE F-150 (I suspect not). Either way itās on back order from the dealer, so...
She kept complaining because she didnāt have massaging seats in the back, so I told her she should write a note to Ford to tell them about it. Who knew she would actually do it! š
Since I now got my FCSP installed, Iām starting to think about cable management. I have 2 EVās that need to share a charging cable (we each charge every other day) and it is mounted in the front of the 36x30 garage between the 2 car bay and the 1 car bay. Here is what my garage looks like...
I just got the FCSP installed and didnāt see anywhere in either app the ability to see the amps that it is drawing when plugged in. Is this somewhere Iām missing?
Just a quick review of my Garmin Dash Cam Mini 2 install using a Dongar mirror adapter:
Positives:
Super small camera is totally out of sight and I forget it is even there
The Dongar adapter was super easy to install and feels like it is a good quality
Discovered today that the Dongar apater...
My wife was wanting in on the EV action, but figured it would be a while before we could order her a Mach-E. Dealer said today they had an abandoned Premium order and low and behold it came home with us!
Now we just have to figure out which night of the week each of us gets to charge on. š
Got my Charge Station Pro today, just a little over 3 weeks after delivery. Will have to schedule a time with my electrician to install soon, but at least itās here.
They don't say specifically what the new cost will be, but I figured the $39,900 truck was never going to happen.
