  1. Study reveals how quickly the battery degrades in EV’s

    Ditto! I have driven 5 EVs since 2012 including my new 2023 Lighting Platinum for a total of 300K miles AND if there was ANY battery degradation I did NOT notice it at all.... just my 5 cents here...

  2. Found unsold '23 XLT ER: Battery implications from sitting 2years?

    I disagree strongly about your statement regarding battery degradation. I have 13 years of experience driving EVs and my 2023 Lightning Platinum is my 5th EV I've bought. I absolutely LOVE it and I consider it the best vehicle I've ever owned and I had all the premium brands including Porsche...

  3. My first Tesla supercharger experience.

    I came to understanding that I should use only Tesla Superchargers on my trips. Especially here in TX many are located within Buc-ee's so it's so so convenient!... These SC stations rarely have less than 20 plugs so it's never been a problem... We usually are charged up to 90% even before we're...

  4. Increased Range at 100%

    I agree.. My Lightning is my 5th EV since 2012.. I had both generations of Chevy Volt and 2 Chevy Bolts when I lived in NYC.. Both models awesome, awesome cars! I used to routinely get over 4mi/hWh out of my Bolts in NYC stop and go traffic.. HOWEVER, I got my amazing Lightning after I moved to...

  5. Increased Range at 100%

    He must have been towed! lol... I rarely top 2m/kWh..

  6. Remote Start, not from the App

    Great looking out for the poor fella living in a tundra! lol Luckily for me and I suspect 90% of other Lightning owners I have not used my car key fob since the day I bought the truck. I absolutely love the phone connectivity JUST because I never part with my phone and I just love it!.... but I...

  7. Snow to Sand and back…. 4,759 miles

    Buc-ee's is definitely way to go... When we're road-tripping I try to stop only at Tesla SCs there... Truck is always at 80% charged before we're done "roaming" Buc-ee's so it's a breeze.... And I never push juice past 80%... Waste of time IMO waiting for that little extra. I never drive more...

  8. Edmunds comparison review: Silverado RST vs F-150 Lightning Lariat

    I did consider Chevy Silverado EV (and Hummer and Cybertruck too) before I got my Lightning Platinum and I absolutely hated how cheap looking the interior was for about $20K more! I love the luxurious Lighting interior and I agree with the midgate statement that wind/rain/road debris would be a...

  9. Why isn’t the Lightning getting more of the gas F150 market?

    My 5 cents is this: I've been driving small EVs for the past 13 years and loving every minute of it while I lived in NYC. But I always had an ice F-150 for family trips since we had a second home 200 miles away. I finally bought my Lightning this year after I moved out to NYC and replaced my...

  10. Charging to 100%

    I've been driving electric for the past 14 years... 1st and 2nd generation Chevy Volt + two Chevy Bolts and now my Lightning. I always charged my cars at home (L2 50 Amp) to full 100% and never experienced any battery degradation.. I used all my Chevys for in-town driving and never held them for...

  11. The Lightning’s Native Nav is Worthless

    Ditto! Why would I want to use understandably inferior product like Ford Nav vs Google maps that spent tens of billions to develop the product?.... rhetorical question obviously...

  12. Suggestions to Ford

    My suggestion would be have a 360 camera recording so I don't have to buy after-market equipment and mess with it. I don't understand why this isn't a permanent feature on a $90K truck since there are built in cameras already.

  13. Is Ford Pass app essential? My phone is too old to install it.

    I find my FordPass incredibly useful and I wouldn't want to go without it. I NEVER carry my key fob with me ever since I bought the truck. All you need is your phone which you ALWAYS have with you, don't you? Lol My favorite functions: 1. You can lock/unlock the truck remotely (including the...

  14. What’s your exit plan for the truck?

    I just bought $95K stickered 2023 Lightning Platinum for $75K with 0% financing so I'm stoked beyond comprehension. It is the best and nicest vehicle I ever had and I owned Lexus, Porsche and S500 among the others... I get giddy driving it every time. I added some mods and the truck just...

  15. Is Anybody Happy With Their Lightning?

    Hi Zaptor! What I want to know is WHERE did your grill from?! I love it AND I want it! lol

  16. Would You Buy A Lightning Again?

    I bought 2023 Lightning Platinum (320 Mile range) absolutely loaded with every possible option with hefty incentives. $95K truck for $75K and I am absolutely loving it. I had tested Hummer, Rivian and Cybertruck and I am so glad I bought my truck. It is the best vehicle I ever had and I had...

  17. New owner questions

    Hi, I bought my F-150 Lightning Platinum 3 months ago and I absolutely love it. I also agree with one of the contributors here that you should just drive it for a couple of months or longer and just learn all about your great truck. Also, as long as you have 220V power in your house I'd very...

  18. Is Anybody Happy With Their Lightning?

    Hi, I just bought brand new 2023 Lightning Platinum for 0% interest loan from Ford. I absolutely LOVE my truck... I've been driving EVs for the past 12 years and I've been waiting for a right moment to upgrade to a pickup truck so I did. I've had more than 20 new cars in my life between myself...
