    Lets’ Goooooo!!! Order 1301xx- 7/31/24 :headbang: Finally here. Weird thing is I got a random text message saying there is Fed-Ex deliver today. Couldn’t figure what it was. if you see an order from this sender, you already know HDS SHIPPING POINT 0215 - CQYTA It had a time slot attached...
  2. Charge Station EV conversion to $4.50 per gallon @18mpg

    I stopped long ago. Some people just like their recycled talking points. EVs aren’t for everyone. Ok cool- neither is any vehicle ever. Just because they aren’t for everyone- that doesn’t mean they are for no one. if one of the naysayers can show me where to get a full-size, 580hp/775tq...
  3. What’s your exit plan for the truck?

    This will become my beater, bad weather vehicle, and work truck. 0% apr makes it worthwhile to hold onto. New vehicle prices are nuts.
  4. I swear it was only 71.3789 kWh

    Significant numbers are important & too many people pay more by clever advertisers. This takes me back to Analytical Chemistry & propagation of uncertainty aka significant numbers on steroids.
  5. šŸ™‹‍ā™‚ļø What Did You Do To Your Lightning Today?

    You can- they sell just the bottom. Problem is the material is so light- you got to use the Velcro to keep it from going airborne So the Velcro prob would last too long. I agree about the mover’s blanket not working all that well.
  6. šŸ™‹‍ā™‚ļø What Did You Do To Your Lightning Today?

    The bedbug is made from a life jacket- like material that is rated as water proof. My brother has one on his Sierra. He keeps long-term items in totes because his tonneau cover leaks. But the part of his carpets that regularly gets wet has no smells, no discolorations, and no issues. Even...

    Started to install a Bedrug- ran out of daylight
  8. Hurricane Milton and EVs.

    Yeah, simply not true. They do not require the same road. The reason Florida has so many gas stations with power but no fuel is because Fl is one of a very states that gets in fuel deliveries exclusively from specific ports. Here is an excerpt: How long will it take to refuel? Most of...
  9. Hurricane Milton and EVs.

    I don’t really agree. Sure the first few days- just getting to the fuel will be impossible. Flooding and down trees/lines make travel impossible. Gas stations need power and fuel to be of service. If you live in NJ, we also need a person to be at the station since we can’t legally pump our...
  10. Got to love New Jersey

    Ultimately someone gets screwed and someone gets a free ride. Now, out-of-state EV drivers disproportionately win. The burden of the free ride now goes to people who fuel in NJ and those EV drivers with a NJ registration. Out-of-state EV drivers don’t share any of the burden.
  11. Tracking Tesla charging adapter

    Easiest way I have found is to go to the email account that you registered. Then search for Ford adapter. You want the find the ā€˜your fast charger is reserved’ email. You will a blue ā€˜check order status’ button. Click that, sign in, & you will get your approximate arrival time. Mine is...
  12. Get hands-on towing training at Ford Towing Bootcamp

    Yeah- I’m sorry for the confusing vernacular. Old habits die hard. Cut the wheel hard refers to turning the steering all the way to one side aka turning the steering to full lock. Sometimes it’s easier to turn the steering to full lock than to move forward and reposition. As let off the...
  13. Get hands-on towing training at Ford Towing Bootcamp

    I find it easier to use the brake. What you can try is this: 1. Connect to trailer on hard, smooth terrain, preferably asphalt or concrete 2. Disengage one pedal driving (if you have it on) 3. Disengage auto hold (if you have it on) 4. Use the accelerator to line up near straight 5. To get...
  14. Get hands-on towing training at Ford Towing Bootcamp

    Please, please consider offering this in the NorthEast. Would be awesome to attend. I would even consider driving my 00 Lightning. Either way, thank you for offering such an important training seminar.
  15. Console Safe Vault & Accessories Review

    Just to be clear for anyone researching in the future- the original, full-size vault mentioned in this thread is manufactured by Console Vault. This half-size is manufacture by B&V. So the accessories for the original vault will not work- i.e. the led light or the different style lock...
