Beat it like a rented mule.

If I get a properly sized extension cord, you can bet it will walk away with me. Every time.

Heat = I^2*R if I remember correctly (ChemE, not a sparky) If the conductor is too small and excessive heat generated, it must be removed. Hence water cooling. If conductor is adequately sized to carry current at lower resistance, less (or little) heat will be generated and little need for...

Wow. First Stagger Lee and now Sam Stone. Gotta love these musical names. Sam Stone came home to his wife and family. My mind is in a rut.

Thank you for that link. I never really knew the origin.

Lloyd Price. 1957 I was standing’ on the corner when a heard that bulldog bark He was barkin at two men who were gambling in the dark I’ll go back to my dinosaur cage now.

I just want to know why you shot Billy? You shot that poor boy so bad. Or is that song too old for you (and most others)

A lot of clueless people bought Lightnings without ever owning a truck. Or an EV. But they can get on line and whine. Their catch phrases are “Come on, Ford” and “but a Tesla ………”.

Cruise will slow you. Ask all the people who didn’t anticipate the 55mph work zone with BC set at 75mph. Severe braking.

FordPass 5.5.0 My wife just left with the 2020 Explorer. Location showed the car one block from the house. I waited about 30 seconds and it showed car about quarter mile away. Apple has taught me to avoid updates.

I get an OTA about once per year whether I need it or not. I ignore them and the lack of connectivity of my fcsp. Accept the good and ignore the rest.

I live in an urban area with strong cellular service. I can almost track the movement of our Lightning and our Explorer as they move through the neighborhood. Basically refreshing by switching out and back into location in FordPass.

Just some data for your enjoyment. I made a 500 mile round trip on PA Turnpike to Hershey this week. I charged at EA in Bedford twice (53% to 82% and 22% to 61%, both 56¢/ kWh) and Tesla (36% to 80%, 45¢/kWh) in Mechanicsburg once. All three averaged 2 kWh/minute. EA peeked at 174 kW and Tesla...

Showed up today.

Lift bottom seat up and reach down with 12mm box wrench. Pull lever up.

The numbers for me in Pennsylvania are interesting. I’ve always had a pickup truck and use it about 6000 miles per year. My previous 2015 F150 Lariat Ecoboost average 16.5 mpg over its 7 year stint with me. I reset Trip Odometer 1 the day I drove it home new from the dealer. In PA, the tax...

22 Lariat here. No OTA updates announced since last November. But my philosophy has always been if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

I wonder if this will ever reach market. It’s been “coming soon” for a while now

In western PA 131*0.215 =$28.16. The 21.5¢/kWh is roughly half generation and half distribution. Duquesne Light offers a program with reduced rates at night but then jacks up rates during the day. Net result is nada or worst. So I plug in anytime I need to.

Not that the hills of Pennsylvania are anything like the mountains out west but ABRP was dead on accurate for my trips. I differed by 2% SOC on a recent 400 mile round trip with two motel stays, three rounds of golf and one DC charge at a Shell station.
