Someone once said, the business of America is business. Which partly explains why the tax code favors business investment, the idea being it will create jobs and benefit the populace. The other reason is, as Will Rogers said: we have the best politicians money can buy. However, now it seems...

I guess the hid the battery (or the flux capacitor) under there, good grief! https://www.dictionary.com/e/fictional-characters/flux-capacitor/

I had a one-time event on a super hot (over 100F) day where there was no cool air on MAX COOL and there was an awful smell of coolant, probably a gasket/seal leak due to high pressure at a compressor because of the high temperatures (I was parked for 20+ minute on asphalt in direct sun with the...

Ha, yes it would seem that way...but... What if the professors gave everyone a 'C' grade with the same numerical score? No top or bottom then. Well we can only hope that those at the very bottom 'F' grade didn't graduate, lol. But in reality, in most professions, just graduating with a...

I guess the long front means a larger frunk? The Lightning frunk is fine most of the time but sometimes I do wish it were a bit bigger. I miss the 6ft bed my Ranger had every time I have to haul something long-ish, but my family likes the roomy back seats of the Lightning - trade offs. It must...

Mine (2023 Pro) doesn't make that noise, at least not that I can hear from inside the cab, but mine does make a very low volume high-pitched sound as if it is communicating via Morse code with the mother ship when the fan is going on low, when the fan is higher the air blowing noise drowns it...

Warning: some sermoninzing follows.... I have learned from experience over the years that, in every profession, there are individuals with different levels of abilities, skill, knowledge, etc., and there are practitioners who fall short of the high standards expected of the profession. Your...

I agree it would be a nice thing to have since most of us don't have three arms. Not sure about the software mumbo-jumbo that would be involved, if any, but.... ...since there is what seems to be a simple mechanical push button switch under one side of the frunk that can be pushed from the...

I agree with Adventureboy's post: The notice says: "CSP 24S76 refers to a Ford Motor Company field service action (recall) for the 2023 and 2024 F-150 Lightning electric trucks. This recall affects vehicles where the nut on the front upper control arm ball joint may not have been properly...

Maybe this FAQ (from the IRS web site) will help - if FORD did not report the VIN to the IRS, then it will come back as ineligible. As others may have said, you can still TRY to claim the credit at tax filing time next April, keep all documentation to back up your claim (MSRP is the key info)...

1) Yes, the degradation curve is the way you described it in the first paragraph from everything I have read anyway - steep then levels off. Why? It's rather technical but...(from an AI search result but seems right to me - I'm an MSEE): "During the first few charge/discharge cycles, a...

Take them to the local Ford parts counter and tell the guy you need 100 more of them and he'll look it up for you?

Exactly. I had the same thing happen, not sure of the sequence but I might have used the defroster one day and then the next tried the heat and nothing, had to look around the menu to find that the heat button icon was deselected, selected it and then the heat was back. Strange that there are...

Yes I think you're right, more like a Studebaker as another post noted. He owned an Edsel but I guess it's not the car I am sitting on...

Yes, and I think they were somewhat similar in shape up front. I can't say for sure, but now I'm thinking you're right because the chrome pieces do look like a Studebaker. My dad once told me he owned an Edsel but never mentioned owning a Studebaker. If he were still alive I'd ask him. OK...
