😂 LighTning Extended (Range) or could be: LariaT Extended (Range)… either way. Sometimes I’ll type ER LT but LTE is the same thing. I’d guess Lariat makes most sense. Was easy to type. PS, I enjoy your posts & admin.

My electrician indicated that our cooler coastal environment, wire through ceiling joists (not conduit), length of run, charger duty cycle, cable type, etc. factor in. I’m with you on over sizing though ‘cause I too thought 3 AWG copper was likely. I’ve been studying our garage layout for the...

I use a CP Home Flex. Charge nightly 4-5 hours at 240 V & 9+ kWh. Puts 30+ to 40+ kWh back in truck which is my daily use (Summer v. Winter) and easily covers my 100 mile daily commute. The Home Flex can be set up to 80 amps but that requires upgrading the service line from 8 AWG copper to 6...

We ended up with a full boot ‘23 minus the scale & interior detection. On reflection after 33K miles I discovered I like heated seats & wheel. Love the power rear window, running boards & folding mirrors. Active X is fine as leather isn’t what it used to be. Max tow ok though the the IRS et al...

The reason I agree is that Dad punched out at 93.. drove and healthy till 92, despite three near-life ending bouts with illnessed that he conquered. If the LT will operate at say 9K-11K miles a year for 20-25 years then why not? I’ve had several 220k-240k ICE vehicles as well as a gaggle of...

The Astoria-Warrenton (Oregon) Ford dealer put chargers in 2020 as I recall. Up and operating in 2021. By the thesis of the OP, the clueless Chevrolet dealer is so behind the times.

The LT has always exceeded my expectations on range. Principally because I’m a somewhat conservative driver. 65 mph in an interstate freight truck convoy good enough. 55 on 55 mph roads works for me. My long term average is dead-on 2.4 miles/kWh. Stopping every 250-280 miles is pretty normal and...

I’ve set up our Mach E on a 120 V circuit because it maybe gets 100 miles a week. The LT ER is knocking down 500-600 miles a week and really needs the CP HomeFlex pushing 32 amps at 240V so in 4-5 hours I can get that 40 kWh back in every night in about 4.5 hours. When our house was built, the...

Well, could be the last truck we buy. I’m thinking of 250K+ miles.

I use Sport because of steering feel. If you want good steering feel, pump your tires to 45 psi. I drive mostly rural roads at 45-58 mph & long term winter-summer average is 2.4 mi/kwh. As soon as it gets icy in the morning I’ll switch to Normal & no 1-pedal which I’ve learned to dislike.

Emperor of Mars on Mars, fine by me. Maybe “The Expanse” in real time.

Having some foresight and acting on that is what drives the future. Hence the rural electrification act , interstate highways act, & harbors and rivers act. Not to mention creating the FCC and parsing out various frequencies. Thus making it possible to move people, goods, services, &...

LOL: I’ve 3” to spare each side. Only folded the right mirror once 😱!

Been doing it 3 years with the ChargePoint Home Flex charging the MME then the LT. Works fine.

A bad BMS will completely FU the truck with ghost problems appearing in weird states impacting interface, screen, music, OTA updates, proximity sensors, etc. Somewhat like a bad condenser messing with spark ignition. An inexpensive part messing with you. Once the BMS was replaced January ’24 on...

Slid through a few stop signs on ice/compacted snow & ice w/MME. I turned it off. I do the same with the LT in winter.

1.4 mi/kWh is 47 mpge. Way better than the Harley tailgating you.

The far adapter appears smaller. Oddly, they appear to weigh the same. 4th dimsension trickery.

Arrived today and one is Lightning Adapter order # 900184XX, second is Mach E and ordered 2nd as quick as I could! Arrived together here on the west coast.

This subject gives comic relief given the five hashtag marks gauging fuel tank volume many of us grew up with. I drove 52 miles with my Bug on “R” one dark eve when all stations were closed. To this day I’ve no idea of volume but I definitely used all of “ R”.
