I’ll be out before you

We have an Explorer with ACC and LK. On interstates, I rest my hands on the steering wheel. I can remove one or both for 5-10 seconds. That’s adequate for most reasonable tasks. I drive the Lightning on interstates pretty much the same way. Upgraded BC would have to do something spectacular to...

I got my Lariat in June 2022. The FCSP was delivered to me 2-3 weeks later. Ford sent me $400 to have it installed. The licensed electrician provided #2 wire, 100 amp duplex and assorted plastic conduit and connectors. He charged about $375. My mother always told me that my good looks and...

We have a roll around portable A/C for our Florida room on humid days (yes, close the windows). During a power outage this summer, we moved it to our bedroom and ducted out a window. The Lightning ran it and all essentials. A good night’s sleep does wonders for your outlook. Best wishes to all...

Beat it like a rented mule.

If I get a properly sized extension cord, you can bet it will walk away with me. Every time.

Heat = I^2*R if I remember correctly (ChemE, not a sparky) If the conductor is too small and excessive heat generated, it must be removed. Hence water cooling. If conductor is adequately sized to carry current at lower resistance, less (or little) heat will be generated and little need for...

Wow. First Stagger Lee and now Sam Stone. Gotta love these musical names. Sam Stone came home to his wife and family. My mind is in a rut.

Thank you for that link. I never really knew the origin.

I just want to know why you shot Billy? You shot that poor boy so bad. Or is that song too old for you (and most others)

A lot of clueless people bought Lightnings without ever owning a truck. Or an EV. But they can get on line and whine. Their catch phrases are “Come on, Ford” and “but a Tesla ………”.

Cruise will slow you. Ask all the people who didn’t anticipate the 55mph work zone with BC set at 75mph. Severe braking.

FordPass 5.5.0 My wife just left with the 2020 Explorer. Location showed the car one block from the house. I waited about 30 seconds and it showed car about quarter mile away. Apple has taught me to avoid updates.

I get an OTA about once per year whether I need it or not. I ignore them and the lack of connectivity of my fcsp. Accept the good and ignore the rest.

I live in an urban area with strong cellular service. I can almost track the movement of our Lightning and our Explorer as they move through the neighborhood. Basically refreshing by switching out and back into location in FordPass.

Just some data for your enjoyment. I made a 500 mile round trip on PA Turnpike to Hershey this week. I charged at EA in Bedford twice (53% to 82% and 22% to 61%, both 56¢/ kWh) and Tesla (36% to 80%, 45¢/kWh) in Mechanicsburg once. All three averaged 2 kWh/minute. EA peeked at 174 kW and Tesla...
