  1. What’s your exit plan for the truck?

    My plan remains the same as prior to when I bought it: drive it until something better comes out that is affordable. Looking for 500 mile range at around $50k or less. Preferably that can haul drywall, 2x4's, flooring, furniture, etc . At that time, it will replace my husband's 2016 F150 work...
  2. Would You Buy A Lightning Again?

    Yes. Truck is awesome. Infrastructure still sucks but is definitely improving. Paid $35k for my Pro. Won't see that again. Plan to buy another one in a few years when the batteries get closer to 500 mile range. Drives better and faster than the Dodge Challenger I traded in for it. Would like...
  3. Tesla NACS Adapter Recall / Replacement Notice (10/24/24)

    Read this article about it and rushed over here to see if it was true https://insideevs.com/news/737960/ford-nacs-adapter-tesla-recall/ Bummer!! No email yet.
  4. Powering appliances during Hurricane Helena

    Yes! Coffee would be first for me too! Fridge, freezer, life saving devices would all need to wait. I have a slighly older Ninja. Love it. I'd also have to bring out my grinder for the beans and my milk frother. LOL. I showed my husband and he was not amused. He drinks gross instant stuff. And...
  5. AM Radio Update

    Huh? I've always had AM radio. '23 Pro.

  7. Ford Resumes Shipping Fast Charging Adapters (Sept. 2024 batch)

    90011315. Chances of it getting here by next Wednesday are almost 0, but if it does I'm driving it up to Chicago for my 2 day girl's trip!!! With 2 kids and running a business, two days is a big deal for me... It's been years since I've gone on a trip overnight by myself. Otherwise I'm making...
  8. Any range gain within spare removed?

    This January we had a very cold day here and I think an ice storm or something - doesn't really matter. There was a section of asphalt on the highway that wasn't rated for whatever it was. There was a roadside emergency sign that said "Warning pot holes mile xxx." And oh yes, there were. This...
  9. NACS Adapter shipping delayed until September

    "Solution in the coming weeks" sounds very reassuring... My June delivery also bounced to September.
  10. Range keeps getting better

    My GOM was showing 249 mi at 100% the other day. Never going to happen!! I was charged to 100% to go to the airport, where I once rolled in with 52% left, and once with 73% left. Makes me crazy... Also, no fast charging between there and my house. (Although I think there will be if I ever get...
  11. Never thought it'd happen to me...

    And this is why we're taking my husband's ICE F-150 on vacation. Bummer.... Don't feel bad about misjudging the GOM. Even without towing, it's hard to say what you're going to get. We're going from the middle of Indiana to Sleeping Bear Dunes, MI as we do every summer soon. I've been checking...
  12. Build & Buy for Lightnings survives even though the Model E program is dead

    Went to check it out on Ford.com. Mine didn't really have many options to choose from to begin with, so I guess it makes sense. I like building my own vehicle though, even if there are thousands out there that are exactly the same, it's just satisfying saying that you "built" it... Edit: after...
  13. Update: F-150 Lightning Fast Charging Tesla Adapters Start Shipping TODAY Per Ford!

    Got this email today. Doesn't sound promising, but still saying June.
  14. Got my invitation to order a Cybertruck today

    Hmmmm... what to do with a hundred bucks... Strangely while I find parking lots a challenge, parallel parking in a tiny spot is no big deal. I can do that just fine since I have all of the cameras with the Tow Technology package.
  15. Got my invitation to order a Cybertruck today

    Just got my email invite to order a Cybertruck. Thought I really wanted one and that they looked cool, but now seeing the real thing, and driving the Lightning, I don't think so. I have seen one in person for a few seconds in oncoming traffic in my town, and it looked small in person. I'm...
  16. Running the Battery to 0%

    Just as a follow up to my earlier post (#4)... AHHHH... SUMMER!! This is me the past couple of days. I have a Pro. Check out my alleged 100% range. The other pic is my GOM at the airport, at 73% compared with 53% in winter at 40 degrees doing the exact same trip. I ran the A/C the whole...
  17. POLL: Does your spouse refuse to drive an EV?

    My husband loves the idea of driving an EV, but not right now. He does construction/building maintenance stuff mainly. He drives around a lot, but in town short distances, and usually less than 30 miles a day. He loves the power and utility of my truck, but we are not anywhere near getting...
  18. Running the Battery to 0%

    Lots of interesting technical info on here! More mundane, but circling back to my earlier post, this happened to me yesterday on the opposite side of the SOC spectrum: I charged up to 100% in anticipation of a long trip. I had another errand to do first 7.9 miles away. When I returned home, it...
  19. Running the Battery to 0%

    That was me last night... Spring break trip. Drove 64 miles to the airport parking lot earlier in the week with temps in the low 40's and high winds. Rolled in with 52% battery. I've driven to the airport several times before and usually get there with about 60%. Worried the entire trip about...
  20. NACS-to-NACS extension cable

    It's being worked on... https://www.purdue.edu/newsroom/releases/2023/Q2/building-the-first-highway-segment-that-can-charge-electric-vehicles-as-they-drive.html
