  2. Would You Buy A Lightning Again?

    Definitely , especially at the reduced price it went to after I bought or the extended range version at my original price. Iā€™m 67, and in Texas. Itā€™s my first ever truck and itā€™s fantastic. I have level 2 Juicebox chargers at my home and at the weekend ranch, they work great. I also have Ford...
  3. Condition Battery While Traveling - Does it Matter

    Thanks for the explanation. Will this work if I choose a Tesla Supercharger station? I assume so. If the station is closer than 20 minutes/miles, should I just choose an earlier departure time?

  8. BCM Updates, APIM Updates and Walk Away Lock Feature

    I get over the air updates Al, the time without issue. Iā€™m in Houston, Texas. I agree fully with your decision on the potential bricking updates. Whether the service department was screwing with your or not, I would not take that chance for an ease of use upgrade.
  9. NACS Adapter shipping delayed until September

    I donā€™t think Ford is trying to force anything. I think they are pissed and frustrated with Tesla. These should not be hard to make, you just need someone to manage the process. Iā€™m assuming the process got destroyed when Elon had his fit and laid off the entire charging group,
  10. Update: F-150 Lightning Fast Charging Tesla Adapters Start Shipping TODAY Per Ford!

    After getting my latest Ford apology email I checked my status. Iā€™d ordered my adapter on 2/29 and had a June promise up to some time in July, LOL. I just checked and itā€™s moved to September.

  11. Windshield replaced?

    Just saw a crack in mine on the right lower side. After investigating it came from a rock chip I had not noticed below the passenger windshield wiper. Bummer. Now I need to check my deductible and decide how to handle it, I want the OEM windshield for the sound absorption,

  13. Outlet power

    I just used one outlet to power my fridge, fans, lamps, coffee machine and device chargers after a hurricane and it got me thinking how much power is available to each outlet. I kind of found an answer but it was not clear whether the quoted power was for each individual plug receptacle or each...
  14. Storm / Hurricane Preparedness with the Lightning

    Iā€™m in Houston, when Beryl hit, our power went out at 9am on the 8th and I opened the Frunk and plugged in an extension cord that I had pre run through a window. We repay fans, floor lamps, fridges chargers, and a coffe machine. No problems and no shorting from driven rain. The power was out 27...
  15. Starlink Mini placement & speed test inside F-150 Lightning

    I have a fixed Starlink at our weekend place. Itā€™s great. This mobile one would be a godsend or an ā€œelonsendā€ in the right use case. Congrats!
  16. Using a Lightning for swimming pool routes. Yay or nay?

    I think itā€™s a great use case and the standard range battery would be fineā€¦ifā€¦you can put in a .40-50 amp level 2 charger where the truck is parked overnight. Assuming local customers and you donā€™t have a lead foot, you mileage will be significantly better than highway driving and you wonā€™t come...
