  1. STEERING WHEEL WEIGHTS FOR BLUE CRUISE ?

    Actual answer to your question: it doesn't work. Unlike with Teslas, the Lightning requires variable pressure throughout driving. With Teslas you can put a weight on it and forget it, but on the Lightning it will nag you if it's not sensing a change in pressure. Even with one hand rested on...
  2. Texas Sold: FS - 2022 F-150 Lightning Lariat Extended Range (Atlas Blue) - $71,000

    Vehicle includes: - Equipment Group 511A - Factory Spray-in bedliner - Peragon Retractable Tonneau Cover - LimitedHDx Edition I have a few offers from dealers which are slightly under the asking price and expire in six days, so if the truck isn't sold here by then, I'll just sell it that way...
  3. Project T3 Electric Truck Design Previewed in Ford Patent Filing?

    Back before we knew what the Cybertruck looked like, this was one of the leading contenders for everyone everyone thought the Cybertruck would look like. Probably a better design for aerodynamics and cab space.
  4. Switch to silence backup beep

    Be prepared for several dozen comments insisting that you hate blind people.
  5. Denver to Houston road trip - the return

    This is a really great write-up - thank you for sharing. I'm actually doing this exact same trip in reverse in a month, and debating whether to take the Model Y or the Lightning. I've been in an EV exclusively since 2015 and taken a few cross-country trips, but never outside of the Supercharger...
  6. 2025 Ram 1500 REV Revealed!! Have a reservation placed? Sign in here! 🙋🏻‍♂️

    I knew the concept was a concept, but I didn't realize it would end up being a complete pipe dream. Looks like they removed all of the stuff that might actually give the Ram an advantage over early movers.
  7. LECTRON Adapter Fitment

    Yes, I get a charging station fault error in the truck - but maybe I'm not seating it in far enough. I'll try again in the daylight. Yep, that's the same one I bought. Glad to hear others have had success, and seeing that it works with my other J1772 vehicle I'm thinking maybe it's just not...
  8. LECTRON Adapter Fitment

    Has anyone tried out this Lectron adapter? The adapter plugs into the truck and the Tesla mobile adapter with a regular amount of force, but starts blinking red immediately and doesn't charge. The adapter works fine on my electric motorcycle, so I think the issue is the connection with the...
  9. Tesla slashed prices

    The bidding for my Tesla closed on Cars and Bids earlier this week, and the transaction was finalized this morning. Heard about the price drop as I left the bank.
  10. Off Grid solar charging station is up and running.. weather permitting!

    Very cool set up. I'm in the beginning phases of trying to figure out how to take something like this camping or for long traveling, so I'm interested in seeing how it works out. Good luck!
  11. Top Lightning gripes or dislikes.

    - Cupholders are too small - UI is not good - charging information should be more easily accessible from the screen and you should be able to set the zoom level on the map one time and have the truck leave it that way. - All the random lights and noises the truck makes - low speed, frunk...
  12. Snow tire problem on Lariat

    Don't be rude.
  13. Growing pains going from Autopilot to Bluecruise

    I'm trying to figure out if what I'm experiencing is user error, or the way the Lightning is intended to work while using cruise control / Bluecruise. Coming from a Tesla, I'm used to two levels of assistance, adaptive cruise control (ACC), and ACC + lane keeping. Once lane keeping is...
  14. Tesla announces opening of NACS (Tesla Plug Connector) charging standard. Would you replace your CCS port?

    Sign me up. I'm still bewildered as to how Tesla came up with a streamlined adapter with a rumored charging capacity of up to 900 kW of output, along with a seamless charging infrastructure, and then AFTER THAT someone came up with CCS, which has (a) an unwieldy connector, (b) a complicated...
  15. [Oct 10] Email just received from Ford: "What's next for your F-150 Lightning Reservation - Orders will be starting soon"

    Sure it will - I'm just passing along what my dealer said. In each of 2022 and 2023, they expect 2-4 trucks. Will that number jump to 300 trucks in 2024? Maybe...but probably not.
  16. [Oct 10] Email just received from Ford: "What's next for your F-150 Lightning Reservation - Orders will be starting soon"

    I got the same email. I think the one piece of news I spotted was that they expect all reservations to be filled or killed by Summer 2023. I'd had a big question as to how long it'd take my number to come up when I'm something like #237 at my dealership, and the dealership is only reporting...
  17. Storm / Hurricane Preparedness with the Lightning

    This. In Texas, when we lost power during the ice storm a few years ago, one of our neighbors gave everyone a double dose with a gas generator AND a floodlight that shined right into our pitch black bedroom. They didn't even offer us hot chocolate.
  18. two Lightnings on the lot for sale in Houston

    If they're the same two they have on the website, looks like $105k and $110k for the black and the white, respectively.
  19. Anyone switch from a Tesla and regret it?

    Eh, I've driven two Teslas that have gone out of warranty. In my experience, the service gets WORSE once you hit the 50,000 mile mark - even at the same SC. It's bizarre.
