  1. Important Update: Ford EV Roadmap & Future of F-150 Lightning (EREV Next Gen Model) - ⛔️ ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS

    This is a TRAVESTY! Ford dropped a massive ball with the Lightning! Seems Ford spent $0 to adequately market it and now you are just dropping the production entirely. My Lightning is my 5th EV... my first two were both generations of Chevy Volt (BEV pickup was unavailable 15 years ago) and I do...
  2. Important Update: Ford EV Roadmap & Future of F-150 Lightning (EREV Next Gen Model) - ⛔️ ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS

    ABSOLUTELY SHAMEFUL!.. I decided to splurge almost $100K on my Lightning which I absolutely love just to hear this ABSURDITY!... It's as if homo sapiens reverted to Neanderthals!!... I've been driving EVs for the past 13 years and I always had ice F-150 for family trips and I CHOSE my Lightning...
  3. Lightning vs. Kia collision - "Built Ford Tough"

    Hard to believe these numbers!
  4. F-150 Lightning is the best selling EV pickup in the U.S.

    I've owned my Lightning since May 2024 and I still love driving it after 20K miles. This is my 5th EV in 14 years. I did test drive Cybertruck and Hummer before I decided on my Lightning which was slightly cheaper than the other two AND Ford gave me 0% loan too.... Hands down this is the best...
  5. Solar home chargers

    Hello, Thanks for the thorough overview... If I may ask what this set up cost you? And what company you used to install? Thanks!
  6. Edmunds 3 year Lightning review

    Another BS Edmund's review IMO.. very dishonest. I've owned 4 EVs (13 yrs in total) before I got my Lightning Platinum some year and a half ago... 20K miles, 30% of it towing heavy. I absolutely love my truck, it is absolutely same as the day I picked it up from the dealer. Charging at home is...

    Hi, it is definitely admirable you towing Airstream! Wow!... What modifications did you install?... I absolutely LOVE my Lightning but it's like driving a brick!. Very interested to see what you have done. Thanks!
  8. Lightning Q2 sales down 26% from Q2 2024

    I absolutely LOVE my Lightning and I've had for over a year now ( I've been driving EVs for 13 years now). JUST LOVE IT!... what I don't love is the FordPass app and the entire Ford ecosystem that Ford is subjecting us to. Their BS with Tesla adapters technically useless and FordPass public...
  9. Tesla charging suddenly no longer working

    I posted my story a couple of months back that LECTRON adapter failed me at Tesla Supercharger.... I have been using now a Ford issued one with no problems... So my thinking is that these adapters just fail for some reason.. Now I always have 2 with me unfortunately...
  10. New Owner - Tesla to Ford transition (home charging questions with a Tesla wall connector)

    Well.. As an EV enthusiast and owner for the past 13 years my Lightning Platinum is my 5th EV. I lived in NYC and now Texas. I originally paid my electrician in NYC $1000 to run an additional 50 ft dedicated line, 60 Amp breaker and install new electric dryer type electric socket (and additional...
  11. What kind of range impact to expect, 3 dirtbikes, 3 dudes, 3 motocross bags of gear.

    I usually get around 2-2.2kwh/mile when I drive around town. BUT when I hit the road and start driving 75-80 mph speed then the efficiency drops to 1.8-1.9 kwh/mile. I just love that crazy acceleration! And "engine roar" too... It is like driving a brick shaped truck, the faster you go the more...
  12. Well This Can’t Be Good. FORD FIRES 350 in Software Group

    I personally do not see a problem with it. I hire web developers overseas costing me less than 30% what I would have to pay here on the top of their sick days, payroll taxes, other benefits and general attitude their **** don't stink. Every single large company is so bloated with waste and...
  13. Tesla Superchargers

    To anyone complaining about the state of chargers available I say this: My Lightning is my 5th EV and I have been driving EVs for 13 years now. I feel blessed being able to use Tesla Supercharger network and I avoid all others if I can nowadays. Tesla's juice is also cheapest at $.32/kWh...
  14. Electric Vehicle Range Extender Generator

    This is NEVER going to happen. Cost prohibitive.. BTW, I honestly don't have a problem stopping every 3 hours of highway driving to charge up, stretch my legs, go to the bathroom, grab a cup of coffee, etc.... Why some ppl are so fixated on long distance driving without stopping?... I find it...
  15. Tesla Supercharger adapter made by LECTRON (STAY AWAY!)

    Hello y'all, Just wanted to share with y'all my recent experience with LECTRON adapter I bought last year in August after I bought my new Lightning Platinum (I received Ford adapter just a week ago after 8 month wait... Terrible!). I have a Tesla membership and I enjoy the experience every time...
