I just received mine today.

Get yourself some concrete patching compound and sculpt little micro ramps about 16” wide and 12” long where your wheels contact the lip. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Quikrete-1-Qt-Concrete-Patching-Compound-8650-35/202092184

I have had the HIS since I got my truck in 2022 and after some minor teeeking and a replaced charger (no cost) mine is up and running perfectly. My only wish is we had more outages to test it. I have to test it by shutting off the main breaker at my panel. But it comes on automatically within...

when my Lightning gets to the point I need to replace it for whatever reason I will be taking the battery out and repurposing it as a Home Battery Backup. In fact, I bought one of the first Lightnings available because at that price less the tax credits it was cheaper per kWh battery capacity...

I’m curious to hear the answers but I bet it’s something along the line of the high rate of charge makes it difficult for the BMS to find space for the electrons when the battery is close to fully charged. At a trickle rate not an issue but with that firehose DCFC it reminds me of the I love...

Good article. Spot on. We better get with the program — get the kids heads out of their phones and into the classrooms focused on STEM subjects. And get rid of the participation awards. Reward merit and excellence. I’ve become bitter partly because I’m old but mainly because I’ve witnessed such...

I called their customer service line and had to get escalated to a higher up before I was able to speak to anyone that knew what they were talking about. Anyway they sent a replacement under warranty but I have to pay my electrician to get it replaced and send the old one back. We will see how...

Thank you so much great advice

Thank you!

My A/C is not working after BMS recall work, was working fine when I dropped it off. Service department said it is unrelated and will have to pay for repair. I also got a power train malfunction warning yesterday and called for that service and my dealer can’t get me into the “transmission shop”...

Sil-Ter-Har Ford in Broomfield. I am very happy with their sales and service. They took care of my recall items with no problems and they have a pick up and drop off service within 15 miles.

They installed a 50 amp sub-panel and a moved our critical loads to it for the backup source. But our (new) house is so efficient that in once we move over to a smart panel with priority load shedding technology we will be able to have all circuits backed up. Because we have an air source heat...

Driving my 22 XLT SR is a luxury I never imagined back in 1981 when I bought my first pickup, a Toyota ½ ton rear wheel drive. I put over 300,000 miles on it the hard way — working every mile, hauling construction materials, tools, hvac equipment, appliances , etc. through all four seasons. It...

I have the ford home energy backup system and it is only there if the grid goes down and to charge my truck. I also have 12.8 kW of P/v. I wondered about all that too but at the end of the day my utility (Xcel) has net metering which means my p/v runs the meter backwards watt for watt and at...

My dealer is Sil-Ter-Har in Broomfield. I haven’t brought mine in for service yet but based on my experience with them so far I have faith they run a good shop. Let them know your experience like you did the second one in your example and let us know how they do.

If you can afford it and you are happy to be involved with technical things I would say yes. But if you are trying to keep life simple this is an added layer of things to deal with from time to time. I am part of a study between firs and Xcel (our power company) and so it was installled as part...

Thanks , yes that is what I did for now. Including the tv.

I have and I am super happy with the equipment and the Sunrun team. Since being installed a year now we have only had one power outage and it worked perfectly. Turned the house back on in about 10 seconds. I plan on having them back to install a small battery that will eliminate the lag so...

I have the HIIS and it does not do all the things you describe. It only backs up the house during an outage like a generator would. Those other things are pretty cool though!
