As I have driven out to damaged sites during the wind storms using my lightning. the on board power has been great to run equipment! The only fun thing was when a Southern Cal Edison EV work truck came by to check on us and he was shocked that we had power. The recovery projects will...
FYI Regarding California buy backs: As I surrendered my 23 F150 L SR (build group 10/30/22 bad battery modules mult times) to the dealership I spoke to the owner of the very large dealership, he advised me in his estimate somewhere north 70% nationwide all buy backs are from California. I...
I have used Colly Ford with my 2 F150 L's and numerous other Fords for the past 30+ years. There service department is certified for EV's and they have the tools in shop for repairs of EV's. They are great at warranty work and can be pricey for out of warranty stuff. You can DM me regarding...
I have both and my FCSP is dead and going through the ford expedited process now. Our Tesla charger has never had hardware or software issues and always reconnects after power downs. Unfortunately that's not the case for the FCSP. In addition I changed my 23 F150L (BB) for a 24 F150L and the...
Got my 23LSR out of shop today also bad array under 10D672 module could be part # NL3210D672E. This is the second time with this issue. Surrendering truck tomorrow under BB. Already have replacement 24PER. Still Love the Truck and hoping no similar issues again.
Can any one recommended a California Dealer that can sell me a ESP policy at a reasonable price? I am in the buy back stage of my original F150L and will purchase another F150L replacement. Since my original purchase, I was advised that the law in California has changed and that we can only...
Running the numbers our fuel savings last year was over $3542 and our maintenance cost were under $200 on the Lightning. With bottom line numbers like this I can sacrifice a little speed and keep me from raising the prices on our customers.
Having previously driven sedan style EV's for more then 8 years I was trained to drive with one pedal to improve my regenerative braking. In those early years of EV driving we did'nt get the range that's available today. So when I got the truck I drove with one pedal mode and I found that I...
Recomendation if using Ford Mobil service: Schedule the first morning appointment. My tech thought it would take about an hour it didn't, four hours later it was wrapped up. He has done several up dates to MM2 but our lightning needed more TLC. He was greatful to have a light schedule.
As cords are being developed, wanted to share that in the Netherlands and other Euro countries regular public level charging stations don't have a cord, the EV driver supplies their own. This offers the charging ability while reducing cable theft. Perhaps as things progress here in the states...
Regrets of not getting ER back in 22 due to the terrain I drive. Mountain driving up hill, cold weather and towing are big reasons I'm for the ER. Still Love the Truck but would happily trade in my LSR for a Flash just for the ER battery.
Please remember that Tesla as well as many other Charge companies may be leasing the land and access to that land may have land owner stipulations. A privately owned parcel may put in chargers for the convenience of their tenants but not the general public. This is the case in our area in...
Consider downloading the TESLA app, under charge other cars tab it will tell you what's available for use. So far it only shows me the stations that my Lightning can charge at under this tab while, our Tesla shows all the stations available with the price.
