  2. Customizing Lariat Wheels

    Right here. See kits on Etsy. I bought the decals for my last Lightning, but never got that far. May try them on this one. The decals come in a variety of colors.
  3. Why Doesn’t Ford Lock the EVSE Plug Like Rivian?

    My concern is for that impatient shi* for brains being a jerk unplugging me when I am charging, but ran into the store for a bathroom break and a soda. I agree with the rest. Full disclosure here, not a proud moment. The ports on our trucks are VERY robust. How do I know? Picture this...
  4. Why Doesn’t Ford Lock the EVSE Plug Like Rivian?

    I didnā€™t see any lock options in the center screen. Hmmmm. Iā€™ll check again.
  5. Wait on Ford or buy Lectron Vortex Direct?

    Is there concerns the Tesla EVSE will sense itā€™s not an actual Tesla or Ford adapter and shut down or not work? I canā€™t imagine so, but I thought I read only Ford-supplied adapters woukd work.
  6. Why Doesn’t Ford Lock the EVSE Plug Like Rivian?

    Just thinking as I disconnected my Lightning from the charger at work so a fellow worker could charge a Rivianā€¦. Why does the Rivian lock to the EVSE (8.5kW) plug to the vehicle, yet anyone can simply press the button on the plug if plugged into my Lightning, and run with the cord to their...
  7. Wait on Ford or buy Lectron Vortex Direct?

    Since itā€™s no secret who makes the Ford NACS adapter for Ford, and Ford is out of stock, is there any reason I should not buy one direct? My 2024 did not come with one, and I am without an adapter. Any reason to wait on Ford?
  8. Would You Buy A Lightning Again?

    At $100k, no GM wouldā€™ve won me over. Iā€™m a peon.
  9. Would You Buy A Lightning Again?

    Thank you!
  10. Would You Buy A Lightning Again?

    Well, THANK YOU to all of you for the feedback and positive reinforcement! A 2024 Antimatter Blue Flash came home tonight, and a 2024 Avalanche Flash followed me homeā€¦ my son bought one, too. We are both so excited. I realize what Iā€™ve been missing since my 2022. I REALLY appreciate all of...
  11. First time charging at Tesla V4 Supercharger

    So, sorry for the intrusion and my ignorance, but I am looking at Tesla charging locations. They say ā€œTeslaā€ or ā€œTesla + No Teslaā€. Kind of unclear. Is the latter a charge station already adapted for charging a Lightning without an adapter, and a ā€œTeslaā€ location needs an adapter? Thanks for...
  12. Would You Buy A Lightning Again?

    Off on a tangent from my original posts, but hey, someone mentioned Fordā€™s ICE trucksā€¦ Iā€™m not sold on the new 2024 F-150 ICE. My ā€˜23 is a software nightmare like my sonā€™s ā€˜23, and both shift like crap. My sons has already done cam phasers, too. Iā€™ve had over 30 ford pickups, Heā€™s had four...
  13. Would You Buy A Lightning Again?

    I think my biggest concern is resale and batteries with high mileage in a short term. Really, if the truck fits my daily mileage needs today, it will in three years. The range will still be good. BUT, if the batteries start to degrade by 100,000 miles (for me at 3 years) whoā€™s gonna want a...
  14. Ford Pro Charge Rates… Really.

    My barn load center is 100A. It is fed from my house 200A main load center through a 100A breaker. All installed by a certified electrician about 20 years ago. So, effectively, the barn is a sub-panel to my house. Can it deliver sustained 80A drawn from the house? I would think so, since it...
  15. Ford Pro Charge Rates… Really.

    Well, the only reason is my son may have days that he would need to replenish close to 65% battery in 8 hours. Iā€™m just considering winter, assuming drop to 1.5 miles per kW and needing to replenish 130ish miles of range by the next morning. Isolated case, but maybe a reality with no ICE...
  16. Ford Pro Charge Rates… Really.

    I REALLY appreciate you all helping me! THANKS! One questionā€¦. If my son and I are both preconditioning before work, will the one on a 40A circuit with a 32A EVSE still precondition WITHOUT taking juice from the battery? Iā€™ve read it has to be on a 40A minimum.
  17. Ford Pro Charge Rates… Really.

    So Iā€™m more confused. Probably due to ignorance. Accept my apologies. Order guide says the peak level 2 charging rate on a 2024 Flash is 11.3kW. Iā€™m assuming in a perfect world, that is effectively saying a Lever 2 EVSE sucking a full 50 amps on a 220V circuit could deliver 11,000 watts, or...
  18. Ford Pro Charge Rates… Really.

    Yeah, taking the credit. Looks like that little Emporia 48A Charger is a good unit for under $400.
  19. Ford Pro Charge Rates… Really.

    Iā€™m kind of amazed at how many chargers have popped up since I traded off my 2022 lightning. Itā€™s been under a year, but itā€™s staggering. Then, add all the Tesla chargers that are available, which I usually see vacant, and it seems to really Take hold of the rain, anxiety and throw it out the...
