I have solar and low cost ToU overnight at home, so a nice sunny day I get a "free" charge for the truck, but a cloudy day like today I charge overnight on the "Ultra low" (2.9Cents/kWh) rate which sure beats the heck out of the $140-$160 a week I used to spend at the pumps...I can see this Truck will feel like it was "free" after ten years of "not-Gas" driving !!
It sure is a new sensation compared to being a slave to the fuel stations...loving it.

Hope to see you post the outcome, good or bad.
So, had my recall appt. today, Ford Dealer is 42 miles away. Goggled driving times, one said 1 hr. Put the Location into the trucks Nav, it said 91 Minutes. Appt was @ 9am, left @ 7:15 am, got there @ 9:10am. Service writer, Jazmin was Nice, had some questions she could not answer. One was about the BMS. In any case One update was to take 30 to 4.5 Hrs. . depending. She came & told me 24S76 was done 45 Min later. Finally came & told me they were done @ 1pm. Ball joint Insp, (24S56) was NPF (No Problem Found).5 Hrs But they replaced both Upper Ball Joint nuts & Torqued.. The 24B56 recall took almost 2 hrs. Spoke to the Owner/GM told him I was VERY happy with my lightning, and the attention they were providing. Told the service writer that this was a test . . to see if I was ever coming back for service there, Told Jazmin I was happy. Asked her how they did the updates, if they connected a computer to the OBDII, she had no idea what that was , , , Hum. Any way, took 110 min to get there and 50 min to get home. Glad that is done...
