  1. Optimizing Battery Use During Winter?

    I've had my Lighting 1.5 years now. I'm fairly comfortable in understanding my range, but winter time can get tricky. We are in an area with essentially no chargers. There's a Tesla v2 (which is no use) and one ~40kwh charger in a rough area that I haven't attempted yet. My daughter is on...

  5. Lightning EPA Range Confirmation When?

    I am an early reservation holder and am reportedly #1 on my local dealers list. With this, I have a reasonable expectation that I will be included in the first order wave early next month. Of course, I have seen Ford’s “targeted EPA-expected” ranges (230 SR/300 ER/280 ER Platinum) widely...
