  1. Would You Buy A Lightning Again?

    This is my experience… I did! On my second Lightning… my first was a 22 SR Lariat, had it 1 year (from Dec. 22) and also soon after its purchase, prices plummeted. After a full year and not pleased with the SR range, I traded it, took a bath, but was able to get into a 23 ER Lariat. In the...
  2. Tesla engineer warns against using extension cords at Superchargers

    Normally, I don’t rebut, but I think your reply needs a rebuttal. You’re correct ?! There are plenty of pros and cons to everything…! And I absolutely love my Lightning, so I’m not a hater! Maybe consider it being a badge of honor for having to charge while your trailer is behind you??? I...
  3. Tesla engineer warns against using extension cords at Superchargers

    She’s kinda right… wouldn’t it have been intelligent if Ford followed Tesla’s lead in charge door locations, that’s all I’m sayin’!
  4. Is Anybody Happy With Their Lightning?

    I originally bought a ā€˜22 SR Lariat, because then (December ā€˜22) the prices were high (sticker and ADM’s) and wanted to keep the sticker under $80K to take advantage of the $7.5K fed rebate. Unfortunately, the homework I did was not sufficient and the range on the SR was NOT as what I needed...
  5. California 3 month old trade up pricing

    Long story, but I actually unscrewed myself from my early on mistake! About 20 months ago (December 22) I purchased a 22 Lariat SR for MSRP $72.4K plus $2.2 ADM, so after sales tax, fees and other BS, I was at just over $82K… with $16K down, that left me with $76K finance… (4.9%) but I knew...
  6. Clock gone bonkers!

    lol just for fun! From someone who has too much time on hand… just curious, did the time change to, back in time, or, ahead in time? It makes a difference…. If it went back in time, you may have an opportunity to revisit your path, possibly correct a few mistakes?, but if ahead… well, you’ll...
  7. Accelerating on braking?

    Here’s my experience to your question… On occasion while in my short driveway (about 23 feet from garage door to sidewalk when backing in and trying to position the truck to the ahhh, that’s just right position, I find myself doing a little back, forward, back, etc… using the one pedal drive...
  8. Why doesn't valet mode lock the frunk?!

    Well, the initial valid concern has once again turned into a free-for-all for I don’t know if there are statistics on this one, but I’d prefer to have someone do a little snooping and steel my loose change, rather than crashing my vehicle… times are tough! Furthermore, it’s a good reason to...
  9. Aluminum Cable from meter to 100amp charger?

    I did the exact same copper from main to sub and copper from sub to charge pro box. I used 2/0, as I had it left over from something else. Probably overkill, but no issues at all!!!
  10. After today's announcement I was excited to see an email from Ford!

    Just for sh!ts and giggles, check this out… I received a very similar notification from Ford on 6/21/23 thinking it would be several more weeks, but only 6 days later, I received yet another Ford notification that said my vehicle was built! How exciting was that… needless to say, my newly built...
  11. Sync 4A Screen (Temporarily) Died

    About 2 weeks ago, I was driving along and noticed that the Sync 4A screen turned all blue. My Lightning is a 2022 Lariat SR with about 3,000 miles. As I was driving within a residential neighborhood, my speed was relatively slow and there were several stop signs. I further noticed when I...
