  1. Do I need to run new 400 amp service in my house for the Lightning + everything else?

    I seldom use my 80 amp ford charger because my solar system won't handle it. So normally if I need a charge I use my 32 amp charger and charge using my 10kw PowMr inverter connected to my 55 kwh solar batteries. But only on sunny days when my panels are outputting at least 7.2 kw that my...
  2. Do I need to run new 400 amp service in my house for the Lightning + everything else?

    You will need to connect your 80 amp pro charger to an 100 amp breaker. A 200 amp service should be sufficient for most homes. Also Fords pro 80 amp charger can be adjusted down in increments to draw as little as 15 amps. I've never seen my 80 amp charger draw the full 19.2 kw that it's rated...
  3. Do I really need both of these adaptors?

    It took 5-6 business days to receive my adapter after I got the email that it was shipped.
  4. Do I really need both of these adaptors?

    If you have a j1772 account charger then you only need the NACS to CCS1 adapter.
  5. Will you renew BlueCruise?

    I won't be renewing my blue cruise. I seldom travel and would actually prefer turning it off and just use lane centering and anti collision without blue cruise. I never take my hands off my steering wheel.
  6. Zone Lighting on FordPass app

    I used to be able to turn on my zone lightning on my platinum from my FordPass but it's not available anymore. I'm assuming I would have to setup phone as a key but I don't want that as if someone was to get my phone they'd have access to my truck. I wish ford would put all those features back...
  7. Sport Mode all the time

    What a bunch of BS. When I drive the interstate at 55 mph I get 2.3 mpk when I drive that same route at 70 mph I get 2 mpk. If I accelerate slow to 55 or 70 or accelerate fast to 55 or 70 I use even more energy accelerating fast and may not even achieve the 2.3 mpk @ 55 mph.
  8. Sport Mode all the time

    You can't be serious. If you get from point A to point B at 70 mph versus 55 mph of course you'll use more power out of your battery.
  9. NACS Adapter shipping delayed until September

    If they force us to purchase, I won't and ford will get a black mark from me. This will be unacceptable.
  10. Off-Grid Setup - Without Home Integration and SunRun Discussion

    I don't need all that expensive home integration system. Don't ever want to sell my power back to the grid. I have solar powering my home and as a backup I just switch a reliance transfer to my generator receptical, connect my 240 volt receptical in my truck, turn on my truck, disable auto...

  12. Nation's First F-150 Lightning Vehicle-To-Home Grid Support Successful (Operated by Sunrun)

    I have solar powering my home and as a backup I just switch a reliance transfer to my generator receptical, connect my 240 volt receptical in my truck, turn on my truck, disable auto shutdown and charge my solar batteries which power my home. A little more complicated for most, but as a 75 year...

  14. Top battery off to 90% every day?

    I love my one pedal driving. I've never noticed any jerking or momentary delays. Always very smooth. Maybe because I'm so used to the one pedal driving, I can always come to a smooth stop at any stop sign or light without touching the brake pedal.
  15. Top battery off to 90% every day?

    When I first got my lightning platinum in 2022 they told me to only charge it to 80% unless I was going on a trip then charge to 100%. I was having trouble getting my ota updates so they told me to start charging to 85%. Lately I've been seeing charge to 90% for best battery life. Lately I've...
  16. Top battery off to 90% every day?

    I've been charging off my home solar system, so I plug in whenever I have excess solar power. Sometimes it takes several days of charging to get to my set 85%. I seldom discharge to less than 50%.
  17. Range keeps getting better

    I don't pay a lot attention to it because I seldom let my truck get below 50%. But I'd never turn it off even if I could.
  18. Anyone else hate the charge port doors?

    Same here, almost feel like that little door shouldn't be there. Also main charge door is hard to open and close. I've tried to open and close other lightning charge doors at my dealer and they work fine. I guess I got a lemon charge port door.
  19. Ford Adapter Delayed; Glad I got an A2Z

    I'll just have to wait on fords free adapter. Money's really tight and doesn't look like it's going to get any better any time soon.
