I don't see a reason for using 1PD all the time, certain situations like going down a mountain maybe, but it's less efficient than coasting and reinforces some bad habits (like not always being ready to brake at any time) At first I was slightly annoyed there was slight regen in sport mode even...

This is great :LOL: Do you have a picture of this contraption?

My set speed is definitely changing without me being the one adjusting it, I think it happens when the speed limit changes.

It allows me to be hands free but then at seemingly random times it will require my hands on the wheel again, and then a minute later go back to hands free. Why? My maximum allowable speed gets constantly adjusted without any input, usually it lowers and so I slow down under the flow of...

Thanks, I don't think I got the form from the dealer but I'm not too worried, and you made me worry even less citing evidence.

Glad I just bought a 24' and didn't hold out for the 25' (was expecting an NACS port)

It's not hard to understand. Most 24' Lariat lightnings in stock do not have the option available now that the options are fragmented now, I would have to get a color I didn't want to get the 9.6 kw Pro Power Onboard or wait until late December.

I faced the same dilemma. Realistically I probably won't ever use the 240v outlet, still sucks they removed it though.

I'm assuming the lightning will perform similarly? Minus potential battery damage of course lol

This color isn't an option anymore I'm guessing?

I don't have the truck yet, but it will be basically 0 as long as you ignore my investment cost. I have paid off solar panels + 1:1 net metering, I make more energy than I use and have a really large credit bank stored up. Even with 2 EVs and our driving habits I'll still likely have a surplus...

Are any currently planned for development?

It's also crazy to buy a $70k+ truck and not be able to get the color you want :( I should have bought this truck in 2023 and not have worried about any of this. Oh well, but the heat pump better be freaking worth it...

It's just an availability issue. The Lariat used to come with 9.6 kw standard, but in 2024 it's now optional and costs extra. So you don't have as many options and less availability. If you go to the ford website and search you'll see much less availability for the color you might want. i.e...

I meant the 9.6 kw option, all lightnings come with at least 2.4 kw

Good points. I don't think I'll be able to charge the powerwalls with the truck regardless, but still being able to go to a fast charger and run the house until after the issues are resolved sounds nice. I also wonder if with the money saved maybe I can just get a beefier power station with...

Yeah, actually charging another EV was another potential use case I thought of, but yeah I don't know if I'll ever run into that situation.

Yeah I'm definitely happy there are still 120v outlets, those can be useful in many instances and especially during a power outage for appliances, etc. I'm also getting 3 powerwall 3s (and I have lots of solar that can recharge it easily during an outage even on a cloudy day), and yeah once I...

Thank you for the very honest feedback! I am probably similar, I can see myself primarily using the 120v outlets to recharge portable power station batteries during a severe outage. Out of curiosity did you already have a transfer switch or get one installed after getting the lightning? And do...
