  1. Stuff I wished that I had known BEFORE I bought

    I spoke to some of the Ford people at the Electrify Expo in Dallas and some of them were on the HIS side of things they wouldn’t (or couldn’t )say much, but from what I could glean from what they did say was that the existing system is what it is. There may be something (better?)coming with the...
  2. Stuff I wished that I had known BEFORE I bought

    I looked into Base energy, but it wasn’t that great of a deal since I have solar. I think at the time they would buy it for me for three cents and sell it back to me for nine cents or something along those lines. I know that changed some things, but I haven’t looked back into it.
  3. Taxman's Lightning Chronology

    Yeah, I know about hail I live in the metroplex too! Pics from the 2016 storm we had! Within 24 hours I was going to install additional panels as well as the power walls, but it didn’t work out with my previous solar company, but I saved about four grand through Tesla plus the tax credit! So...
  4. Stuff I wished that I had known BEFORE I bought

    Only thing I would add is on number two: Correct you don’t have 80 amp charging but it doesn’t really matter for DCFC. It should be plenty to charge overnight unless you’re driving close to 300 miles every day.
  5. Taxman's Lightning Chronology

    That stinks! I had another company do my solar install, but just added more powerwalls (expansion packs)through Tesla I did add the rider on my insurance. Hopefully, I won’t have to use it.šŸ¤žšŸ¼
  6. Taxman's Lightning Chronology

    I did not do it myself. I had a solar contractor do it, but I have some panels on my roof and some on a ā€œpergolaā€œ ground mount.
  7. Taxman's Lightning Chronology

    $1108 increase in maintenance! Tires? Not sure if solar would be feasible for you, but I would definitely look into it with those electric rates! ROI would be massive.

  11. High public charger pricing - war on EVs?

    Are you sure they just didn’t put a hold (pre-authorize)on that amount and then the total was less? I know a lot of places do that!
  12. The Insane Journey from a Written-Off Flash to a 'New' Lariat! My own Planes, Trains, And Automobiles Episode!

    Yeah, it sounds like y’all have some pretty crazy rules up there! I purchased mine in Maryland and drove it home to Texas, none of the craziness that your provinces have but it did cost me a few hundred more doing it that way because of Texas laws, but I saved a ton more than that.
  13. 74% of Ford F-150 Lightning buyers have come from other brands

    16% ?? I have owned many Ford vehicles just never an F150! Mustangs, fusion hybrid, and a bunch of expeditions all but one being EL. But I am not going back to ICE so…… could be the end of owning Ford vehicles, but I plan on driving this one for a few years and then see what’s next. Things have...

    I park on an upward slope toward my garage, so I have always used my parking brake (even when it doesn’t do it on its own) because it is habit even when not parking at home.
  17. Important Update: Ford EV Roadmap & Future of F-150 Lightning (EREV Next Gen Model) - ā›”ļø ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS

    You are not wrong in part one! Being hung up on maintenance at least for me it is because with the current iteration of the Ford lightning, there is virtually no maintenance at all!!! I have done my own oil changes and 99% of the other maintenance for my and my children’s vehicles for longer...

  20. EREV - A Horsepower Math Problem?

    I believe Ford even mentioned a locomotive in their release for those still confused maybe this helps or maybe it will confuse you more! A diesel locomotive operates by converting diesel fuel into mechanical energy through a diesel engine, which powers electric generators that drive traction...
