  1. How many Lightnings have you seen in the wild?

    There are quite a few is South Florida. Saw my exact truck parked across from me. What are the chances?!
  2. Electrify America Price Increase Coming March 6, 2023

    If Tesla ever opens the SC network, they will be obsolete.
  3. I'm torn... what do I do?

    Go ER. No brainer. Think 3 years out SR will be obsolete. Those will drop in price much more than ER. When next gen tech comes out the SR will get left behind. Towing, cold, and long range travel realistically being 50% of rated range between stops and ER makes sense.
  4. EA charging problems seriously damaging Ford's image

    I agree with most people’s experience with EA. Just garbage. If the government doesn’t screw up the $5B for Ev charging maybe EVgo, ChargePoint, and Blink can put in some working chargers. I’d pay double the rate to have access to the supercharger network.
  5. Peak charge rate from 150+ kW stations?

    Wrapping up a 1800 mile road trip. In good weather as you state in your post, we get 138kw on a 150kw and 178kw on a 350kw. Temps under 40 degrees we were throttled at 80kw.
  6. DCFC in winter temps

    So had a charge experience at a brand new EA station today. Temp at 20 degrees. Lightning was plugged in at 120v trickle charge prior to this. Drive 15 min at avg 45 mph to the charger. Lightning accepted 36kw for 30 min. Unplugged and replugged in same charger and no change on charge rate. This...
  7. Getting cold feet

    I have had my Lariat ER since July. It is amazing. I’ll never go back to gas. I would not recommend the SR. Resale will be nothing. Realize highway driving is ~80% of rated range and you only use ~70% of that due to charging 10-80% at DC chargers. My opinion based on 6 months of ownership is any...
  8. Is the Mobile Power cord worth the $500 they are now charging?

    I would say no just for the simple fact them don’t offer additional plug types. On a lot of trips to Friends/Family they have a 30A dryer plug that would be a great destination charging option but Ford doesn’t offer this plug type like Tesla Doe
  9. Ford Pro Charging Station vs. Nema 14-50 outlet

    I took advantage of an old irrigation pump circuit right at the garage because the panel is at a horrible place to run a new circuit and am charging at 20A (16A to truck)/240v. Just be realistic with your range and your average charging. I am about 24 miles round trip to work and only charge 2...
  10. Anyone reserving: GMC Sierra EV Denali today 10.20.22 @ 5PM ET ??

    I love that 3 years out these trucks are over $100k. My 2022 Lightning should hold value!
  11. Cannot stop the truck from charging to 100%

    Yes, really bad software. Agreed though, once you set up the location it works fine.
  12. Storm / Hurricane Preparedness with the Lightning

    I have the same set up. Tested it a few weeks ago and works great!
  13. "Electrical System Drain - Service Requested" error message

    Thanks for the tips. I was doing an update last night but was plugged in and charging. Hopefully they sort this out with a future update.
