  1. Okay, you've heard about junk in the trunk, get ready for funk 🍄 in the frunk!

    The closest I've been to "magic" when is when I was Central and South America, but I saving that for when I'm old and broken and it won't matter if I make it worse... There is/was more "Parmesan" and less "magic" in those countries. ;)...
  2. Okay, you've heard about junk in the trunk, get ready for funk 🍄 in the frunk!

    That is an impressive collection of mushrooms, I love being out in the woods, I did 22 years in the military in the "extreme rucking club", traveling all over the world, but my favorite place is the Appalachian trail in Virginia...
  3. What’s the value of 20” wheels takeoffs

    I’m in the market for 20’s and have been looking at fully forged Atomics they are selling for $600 a wheel but only weigh30 lbs. I suspect the gravity cast stock wheels in 20 inch weigh about 38 lbs each and you sell them for about $150 to $200 each depending on condition.
  4. No Audio at times when using Apple Car Play

    Mine does it about 50% of the time in my 2024 Platinum... I usually switch to radio then back and it on occasion will regain audio. This is same crap I deal with in my 20 year old FJ, I put a Pioneering floating screen system in (almost $2K just for the head unit + install) and the damn thing...

  7. CarPlay Driving Me Crazy

    I only use WAZE, no issues with this. I don't see any evidence of preconditioning when I pick a charge location in WAZE.
  8. Would You Buy A Lightning Again?

    That might help explain why they lose so much money on every EV they sell. Sounds like they should take advantage of the Tesla open source patents, it looks like Ford followed suit and made their EV patents open source as well.
  9. Taking the Politics Out of EVs

    My friends of coal license plate, with my favorite political candidates name on them quickly resolves any issues around making assumptions about my view of "Clean" energy and my politics. https://www.friendsofcoal.org/stickers and since virginia uses a mix of NG, Coal and Nuke for electric...
  10. Would You Buy A Lightning Again?

    Well stated, you must be my virtual twin, I have stock in both companies and have CT that sitting in the configuration inbox. Ford just had a product first. I wish they had adopted the Tesla OS, then the transition would have been so easy. things I love about the Lightning: 1. Stealth EV (not...
  11. Is it typical for the underside of the hood to be not color matched?

    Mine exactly the same as yours. AMB is my favorite color.

  13. Official: Scout EV Pickup & SUV debut w/ Gas Range Extender, 4x4, BOF, Lockers, Sway Bar Disconnect -- All Specs, Wallpapers, Videos

    We had a Scout II when I was a kid and travelled all over Afghanistan in it (1976-1979), until the Russians showed up it was a great place. I don't think I would ever buy a VW Scout, it just looks like a Rivian without the LUX, plus the wife would shoot me, we already have a Lightning and and...

  16. Early Range Reduction Notes

    Today coming back down from Skyline Drive, my efficiency was over 20, should I expect to see 2620 miles of "range" tomorrow? 20* 131 KWh =2,620 miles right? :crazy:
  17. Best wheels/tires for efficiency

    I am definitely not going for the Brodozer look, just want better efficiency, been slowing down from my usual highway speed ~80 MPH kills the range, I could get about 200 miles doing that in my old Model S, but the aero profile on this truck cuts it way down to ~140 miles @ 80.
  18. Early Range Reduction Notes

    You are probably right, the aero on this truck is similar to a brick. I did a much lighter wheel setup on my old Model S moving from 21's to 19's and gained about 12% with better EV tires and wheels that were only l9 lbs verses the old stock 21's that weighed about 34 lbs each. My truck is...
  19. Best wheels/tires for efficiency

    The S77/S81's are only 17 inches, and cold rolled "forged". The Atomics are 20 inch (street config) mono block forged weigh 30 lbs, the Atomics in 17 inch config (off road) are 32 lbs with the added weight being the "fugazzi" bead lock look.
