  1. Farley says Hybrid and Range-extenders are the answer for trucks (except fleets)

    90% of the voting power is concentrated in the Ford family's hands. They care more about dividends than stock price appreciation from what I can tell.
  2. Farley says Hybrid and Range-extenders are the answer for trucks (except fleets)

    Looks like T3 will likely be fleet-only? https://insideevs.com/news/749756/ford-large-ev-trucks-have-unresolvable-problems/ Edit: After rereading the article, maybe he's only referring to the HD class of vehicles?
  3. $69 EV Registration Fee. Increases are annoying. What about your state?

    The discrepancy is probably because Michigan bases the license fee on the base configuration. A base Lightning in 2022 was $40k, while a base Mach E was higher. I'm also not sure we didn't get base F-150 pricing instead of using the Lightning Pro. Helps offset the gouging for the Lightning being...
  4. No news must be good news.

    2 years, 4 months and 32k on my Lightning with no serious issues... knock on wood
  5. One-pedal-turn off in icy conditions

    Maybe, but I can assure you my left hip wouldn't appreciate it. lol
  6. One-pedal-turn off in icy conditions

    Since I only drove with a clutch for 5 years or so back in late 80s/early 90s, that memory is long gone ;-)
  7. One-pedal-turn off in icy conditions

    That's my thinking as well. I'm way too used to lifting my foot off the pedal to coast and this is the only vehicle I have where that's not mandatory. I tried 1-pedal for a week or so, but my muscle memory was too strong and overcoming it would have made me uncomfortable in the other vehicles I...
  8. One-pedal-turn off in icy conditions

    Was out on ice last night... my fault for not checking the weather before placing a take out order. As I was sliding down a hill towards a stop sign with 2 vehicles already there, I turned on 1 pedal to see if it would assist the stop... it did, but I still ended up playing it safe by putting...
  9. Typical American driving habits may prolong EV battery life

    Just stop reading here lol " For example, short, sharp accelerations in EVs actually slow down battery degradation. That flips the script on what researchers – including this study’s own team – had assumed for years: that acceleration spikes were a battery’s worst enemy. " Rocket launches for...
  10. Its fall in the NE and the squirrels are out!

    The oaks on my property have been fruitful and the acorns are taking over! Hearing one of those things drop from 50 feet onto the metal roof of my pole barn sounds like a gun shot going off.
  11. Installing front camera washer on ‘23

    Hmmmm, I don't think my '22 Lariat does or maybe I just never noticed.... have to check that out
  12. What do you call / name your Lightning?

    Mine is Elektra
  13. Jumping

    On trips I carry my 18v Ryobi inflator and my largest capacity battery with me, just to be safe.
  14. How to set perimeter only alarm on the Lariat?

    YOu can also set the option for the truck to ask you whether to turn off the interior sensors when you turn off the vehicle. It then pops a message onto the dash, defaulting to no - leave them on.
  15. *Resolved* Tesla Gen2 Portable Charger Throwing Error

    The deceased adapter is a "Supicon" that I got through the Amazon Vine program - free for reviewing. My review went from 5 stars to 2 stars after it failed within 10 months, but since it now shows as unavailable, it probably doesn't matter.
  16. *Resolved* Tesla Gen2 Portable Charger Throwing Error

    Solved... my older cabled tap (also no-name) allows the truck to charge fine. It will be interesting to see if I can get the non-functional tap apart to see what failed.
  17. *Resolved* Tesla Gen2 Portable Charger Throwing Error

    My off-brand tap is also exposed to the weather, so I do have my suspicions that may be the problem, just seems odd it would report as a software issue. I also leave it attached all the time, but left it off overnight before trying again today. I'll keep messing with it and try the older adapter...
  18. *Resolved* Tesla Gen2 Portable Charger Throwing Error

    Only thing I haven't tried electrically is to flip the breaker, but I doubt that would do anything. Just realized I have an older 48A adapter hanging out in the frunk, though. I'll have to check with that one and see what happens.
  19. *Resolved* Tesla Gen2 Portable Charger Throwing Error

    The portable charger doesn't have an internet connection, as far as I know. The wall chargers might, though.
  20. *Resolved* Tesla Gen2 Portable Charger Throwing Error

    Interesting. If the issues are cropping up suddenly it makes me think something on the Ford side has changed. The charger isn't getting OTA updates, but the truck did.... not exactly sure when in relation to the last time I used the charger, but I think the OTA update came after the last charge.
