  1. Ford Power Promise: Your Electric Journey, Enhanced

    I am not even going to read all this because it relates to Ford PR crap. I have a Mach-e ER and a Lightning Platinum. So, FORD, where are the ordered Telsa adapters? It's been six months or more waiting for mine. Bought one a few months ago and arrive in 2 weeks. Bought one today and...
  2. Air Conditioner Compressor Issues

    I have heard the compressor noise before, but I have never experienced the quick stop. Best wishes cause it's pretty hot these days.
  3. Pro Power Software glitch

    I am so sorry you had an issue. I will not say without more information that it is not 'pro-power.' I am sorry that your wife does not wish to travel in the truck again. All-in-all, I'm wishing only the best for you.
  4. Seat Covers: Do they limit the seat heating and cooling?

    I may be wrong, but I believe only the Platinum has ventilated seats. And then only in the front.
  5. Thoughts on the Charge Station Pro...

    I had a non-working wifi unit then Ford sent a new unit back in November of 2023. WIFI connection worked for a week or so then can't connect to FordPass now. I don't think the WIFI connection is worth the effort. Ford says it is needed to send updates to the FCSP. I have 2 Gizzl-e units...
  6. Charge Percent Indicated is Wrong

    The GOM does not know if you are going to do only slow or city driving (likely get your estimated miles or better) or mostly highway driving (that's where you eat up battery at 65+). The Lightning does know the outdoor temperature and does adjust for that pretty well. For longer trips, I use...
  7. 40A home charging - Should I do it

    If I had your situation, I would get estimates from reputable electricians and see if I can lower the 5K cost to upgrade to a 200 AMP service. Next, I already used Sunrun for my 80 AMP install and I was happy. But a good electrician can install the device. You then use the instructions to...
  8. Self-propelled Tailers for EVs.

    https://www.cnbc.com/2023/11/20/look-inside-this-startups-self-propelled-rv-as-camping-goes-electric.html This is an answer for EV towing worries.
  9. Lightning Commuter 10,000 miles in 5 months.

    We all have our fond memories. I remember when Nike running shoes first came out. My grandfather said "I remember when I would not pay over a $1 for a pair of sneakers." How things are changing. I still remember when the DOW hit 1,000 and now it's at 35,000. Luckily, gas has not...
  10. Lightning Commuter 10,000 miles in 5 months.

    Wow, $5. I live in Virginia and gas here is around $3.15 and in Delaware it is not hard to find under $3. (Unfortunately, there are some stations that will happily charge you a lot more, but it is easy to bypass those.) Recently the price of gas in my area is dropping like a rock. I...
  11. 2025 Ramcharger Announced

    It's funny. People don't like EVs and want you to not like them too. If someone likes an EV, or they don't like an EV is no skin off my back. Wanting me to dislike an EV because you don't like an EV is the definition of ignorant. Live and let live.
  12. 10000 Miles in the middle of Montana

    There's is only one word for this thread: Great !!!
  13. 2025 Ramcharger Announced

    I had a volt. Same type of setup. Every now and then you will be forced to burn gas and then add some to keep the gas fresh, and to simply run the engine. It's not too often and not too much of a headache.
  14. 2025 Ramcharger Announced

    Ram 1500 are great pickups. I owned a Volt with the same type of batter/ice charger; it was a fantastic combo. My choice only: the 145 mile range at 100% figuring 90% usable, and then for weather and degradation over time the battery does not give me what I need at this time...
  15. 2024 Mach-E to Lose EV Tax Credit. Any News on Lightning?

    I don't trust anything on 'social media' because most of the information is written by people as dumb as me. The big difference is: I tell people I don't know what I'm talking about.
  16. Aluminum Cable from meter to 100amp charger?

    This is my experience. Not suggesting anything, just providing my experience. Had the FCSP hard-wired directly from my main panel to the FCSP. Sunrun installed an open lock on the breaker. The breaker could not be turned off/on with the lock, the breaker was locked for power to the...
  17. Surprise, i got sent a Ford Charge Station Pro?

    I have the FCSP. The charger part has been without issue. I like that it charges twice as fast as a 40 AMP. I did need to return my first charger. Seems some of the chargers had poor wi-fi panels. Did not impact charging. I used SunRun for installation. When I got the new charger...
  18. Aluminum Cable from meter to 100amp charger?

    I used 100% copper to my subpanel and 100% copper to my FCSP. I have no issues. That's all I know. I do like that "I have no issues" and would do it again.
  19. Dealer crashed my Lightning

    It is not for the dealership to decide diminished value or not. Call your insurance company too, but only after you speak to an attorney. All states, that I know, have a "lawyer referral service" and for a very small amount an attorney will talk to you about your options. I used the...
  20. Ford will postpone about $12 billion in EV investment as buyers become more cautious

    I do stand corrected. I read that pickup sales where down. When I read your post I wanted to get the numbers. I got real numbers from a reliable source and I found that pickups sales overall are not down. Some companies up and some down, but overall sales are good.
