  1. Ford F-150 Lightning Set To Lose Federal EV Tax Credit

    Agree for the most part. We didn't need a tax break to move from CRT monitors to LCD, or from a flip phone to an iPhone. If the product is better, you don't need any financial incentive from the Government. I think on of the main issues is really close to being resolved and that is charging...
  2. Has anyone used their Lightning ER 220 plug for home power V2H?

    Dude, your neighbor..... I'm also in FL and when I first got the Lightning I just made sure to have a bunch of heavy duty extension cables. I had a plan to keep a few things powered up (fridge/freezer/internet), and have a portable AC unit for the bedroom. Also a beefy enough cable to power my...
  3. Chat GPT answer had me make a change that caused “pre collision system unavailable”

    "AI' lololol You thought there was some actual intelligence going on? Let the intelligence get you out of the problem
  4. Running AC in summer--love it!

    Here in FL, we started this a few months ago ;) Agree though, last few Saturdays we stopped at a few places during the day, just left it running so I could enjoy a nice cool cabin after walking across the blacktop parking lot.
  5. Looking for a charger I can contol my charging rate with

    If I'm understanding your question, I like the Tesla wall charger. I went with the universal one so whenever I upgrade to NACS I'll be ready. You can change the amps during setup.
  6. Ford Dealerships refusing service to Ford lightnings.

    So what happens if you're traveling and this happens? This is nuts that they possibly can refuse service, specifically warranty service. I understand refusing non-warranty service, heck I had to call around quite a bit to find someone to work on my 73 Ford ;)
  7. T-Boned Today. Is It Totaled?

    no airbags being deployed is a very good sign and gets you very close to not being totaled. I'm going on the side of not being totaled, assuming no frame bend or battery damage, and the worse being the front motor being replaced.
  8. AWD stopped working at the worst time

    Well this is good to know. So do you just shut down the truck and turn it back on?
  9. Reflections on the State of DCFC Charging in the US

    Yes, but for a lot of people who just want to drive, like they do with their ICE vehicle. There is a learning curve right now that will hopefully go away in the near future where you just kind of drive and charge without any planning or thinking. As with above, this should go away soon and...
  10. Apple CarPlay Bigger Maps in iOS 26

    Unfortunately it didn’t seem to do anything. It is beta, so maybe it will be fixed or maybe I need to restart some services. I’ll try and mess with it more this weekend
  11. Apple CarPlay Bigger Maps in iOS 26

    I’m not sure I like the exaggerated rounded corners. I think the theme should try and match a vehicle a little more. Either that or we need a massive standard for all inputs
  12. Apple CarPlay Bigger Maps in iOS 26

    Ahh you’re right, I’m dumb and looking at my phone. I’ll check in about an hour
  13. Apple CarPlay Bigger Maps in iOS 26

    Totally agree. I don’t know where this setting is. If you happen to know, let me know
  14. I charged to 100% and my Lightning said 379 miles!

    Pics or a lie, internet rules established in 1989. I usually do a little calculation when I power up to my normal 85%. It's often over 300, sometimes over 320 pending how my drive has been as of late. When I drive to a park nearby I'm always around 4miles/kwh. I should do that for an extended...
