  1. Has anyone used their Lightning ER 220 plug for home power V2H?

    Just add a transfer switch, to idiot proof the process. You'll also likely need to wire straight into the main panel (VIA a new breaker ), bond the neutral of the truck to the panel as well as main bond/ground. I added a transfer switch and a 4 prong weatherproof receptacle on the outside of...
  2. Lightning Q2 sales down 26% from Q2 2024

    Surprising. Every other lightning owner I've spoken with absolutely loves their truck. I believe it's only a matter of time until many of the folks who hate ev's today will have one in their driveway tomorrow. Word of mouth is the best advertisement
  3. Ford retrax retractable tonneau cover installed

    Read my mind. Hindsight being 20/20, id have gone in a different direction. That being said, I love the way it looks, and have incorporated the rail/track system of the Retrax into cargo and bike racks above the bed, which i absolutely love.
  4. Ford retrax retractable tonneau cover installed

    I have the same one- installed by the dealer. Water intrusion for sure when it rains. I wasn't aware these were supposed to be waterproof.
  5. Truck refuses to charge past 84-87%

    Mine did this a few times when charging to 80%. It would randomly drop to 50 or 60% after a few miles. Then the problem just vanished when the dealer replaced the low voltage battery🤷 I was assuming the low voltage battery voltage was responsible for inaccuracies in voltage monitoring of the...
  6. Dealership Recommendation for Battery Replacement in Southern Michigan?

    I live in a medium sized town with two Ford dealerships. Each service dept claim they only have 1 guy to work on ev's. The fact that your problem can be duplicated is terrific for the tech. I hope Ford is reimbursing properly so they have incentive to get it done in a timely manner. Please...
  7. Reflections on the State of DCFC Charging in the US

    ummm yeah. That's why I drive the gasoline suv (On interstate road trips over 300 miles) The lighting is the only electric vehicle I own, so...kinda limits the ev options. Maybe Im misunderstanding? Wasn't trying to make an apples to apples comparison and certainly didn't intend leave that...
  8. First one to charge at the NEW Rivian Charger station at the NC Outer Banks Mall!

    Wonderful to see. My wife really thinks the r2 is quite cute, and wants one as soon as they're available.
  9. Reflections on the State of DCFC Charging in the US

    Not really that great. Our mid size suv get 27 mpg at 80 mph. not a comparable vehicle, since I needed a truck, not another suv when I bought the lighting. It's not a close comparison using supercharger prices over 50 cents/kWhr. Gas is cheaper in my suv than my aerodynamic brick using...
  10. Pro power and AC on at start

    Turn the fan off, it will stay off on start-up. Well, it does on my 23. I could have sworn the ac stayed off as well if it was off when I shut down, guess I need to take better mental notes on that one.
  11. Reflections on the State of DCFC Charging in the US

    I'm glad you're enjoying it, but you couldn't pay me to take an interstate road trip in my SR. The supercharger prices are more expensive than fuel, have to drive 15-20 mph slower, and add roughly 50% time to a road trip (my typical south Florida to S Georgia goes from a 6 hour to a 9 hour trip)...
  12. 2.6 mi/kWh?

    This drives my ocd completely bananas btw. Noticed after the first week of ownership. it doesn't change btw.
  13. 1760 mile trip - 0 EA charging

    I don’t know if anyone else had this experience, but I had to disable plug and charge via FordPass. Fordpass wouldn’t recognize my membership with EA, and was charging retail instead of membership prices. After disabling plug and charge since via FordPass and using the charge appropriate app, I...
  14. 1760 mile trip - 0 EA charging

    Charging anywhere but home is the bain of the EV experience. If you MUST charge on the road, have the proper app installed for the charge network you're going to use, and set up an account. This will require a CC number. You can't just whip out a CC and pay at these EV chargers. The first...
  15. Lightning retakes EV pickup sales crown from Cybertruck (for both March and Q1 2025)

    100% I think you hit the nail on the head, "The more I drive my Flash..." Most don't have the opportunity to daily drive your Flash- but if they did, I bet they'd want one too! Unless you're towing, or regularly taking long road trips, it's just better, in every category. My friends that gave...
  16. Unlock on FordPass down???

    Ford roadside got me in. unlock and lock work fine now. Will test later when I get home to determine if the key being inside the cabin was a fluke or normal. Thanks to all those who replied.
  17. Unlock on FordPass down???

    I may have, but always had a duplicate on my person. I’m not sure. If having the key inside the vehicle disables the unlock feature of the app, I’m a bit confused at the usefulness of such a feature.
  18. Unlock on FordPass down???

    Nope. It’s totally unresponsive. No start, no climate, no lock, no unlock. Deleted and reinstalled app. Tried app on a different phone.
  19. Unlock on FordPass down???

    No door code on my pro. This is the first time I’ve ever depended on FordPass and didn’t sneak a key in a pocket just in case. it’s also the first time FordPass failed to work. Entirely frustrating. No one at ford can unlock remotely. Going to be a couple hours waiting for roadside assistance...
  20. Unlock on FordPass down???

    I just locked my truck with the key inside via FordPass about an hour ago while biking. Trying to unlock with FordPass and it just won’t?? Am I missing something?
