I don't understand the question. I bring my L1/L2 charger everywhere with the vehicle and plug it in everywhere I get permission to plug it in. Why wouldn't you?

Excuse me! You're breaking two of the cardinal laws of EVs: You cannot tow with nor drive an EV in the cold. Doing both at the same time is right out. Please turn yourself into the nearest authority where you will be reprogrammed.

I accept the critique. That said, it’s not my job. It’s the dealer’s job. I’ll give the salesperson grace. They’re just doing the job they can with the information their employer gives them. But the dealership itself? No. Dealers in pretty much every state fight hard to be the only option...

I think they only shipped the LFP on the Flash, but I honestly have lost track.

You were mislead in multiple ways. The dealer is incompetent and IMO it’s reasonable to assume their incompetence is based on a malevolent decision not to learn. You can never trust a dealership to tell you the truth. Their job isn’t honesty and state laws protect dealers rather than consumers...

I did my 20 years with hybrids. For me, there's no value to returning to gas. I didn't care that Ford added the hybrid. It's nonsense that they cancelled the BEV. That bone-headed move is what people are annoyed with. Ford won't have a new vehicle for me when I have to replace my Lightning...

It would be a downgrade, not an upgrade.

I would love to own a mid-sized BEV pickup. It won't be a Ford. We can't trust Ford to stand by their innovative products. We are now that much more likely to buy a used Rivian to replace our Mustang when the time comes. Or a Scout BEV, if they don't also succumb to the idiocy infecting US...

Looks like my first Ford in 45 years was our 2022 Mustang Mach-E and my last Ford for the foreseeable future will be our 2023 Lightning. Zero interest in anything that uses fossil fuels. Not surprising. Farley has been all over the place. Dude needs a rudder.

We have one of these for our Mustang. But the Lightning is garaged so we don't need it for the truck. https://macapuche.com/english I haven't installed them, but I have some 12v stick-on heating pads that, some day, will be installed onto the underside of the hood to melt the ice and snow that...

Even my Lincoln arc welder (if the truck could provide the 50A necessary) run at its maximum duty cycle (20% at 225 amps, 25 volts) wouldn’t pull more than about 1.1 kWh in an hour of welding. People don’t seem to realize how energy intensive it is to move vehicles around.

No. After about 80,000 miles total and 40,000 miles of EV road tripping, almost 20,000 in the Lightning, mostly across the US southwest and Pacific northwest, I can’t imagine a scenario where I would miss gasoline enough to go back. I’m thrilled to never have to go to a gas station again, to...
