  1. New BlueCruise Version 1.4 - Rollout March 2025

    Any of you that are getting this round of updates have a 2024. Or just 22/23's ? I did just get a window update and a few days ago a walk away lock update for my 24 Flash. Rick
  2. New BlueCruise Version 1.4 - Rollout March 2025

    My free extended 30 day bluecruise on my 24 Flash just expired yesterday. Not paying full price for stale milk to extend it. You want to sell stale milk, then discount it like day old bread. Rick
  3. Taking a 14 Hour Beach Trip With a Golf Cart Loaded in the Bed... Range?

    When loading the cart, how much weight is on the tailgate? Do you use ramps or a loading dock. Any issues with the tailgate since it will be holding lead acid or lithium batteries? I have a trailer i use for my ryobi lawn tractor with 4-100 ah lead batteries. Has a loading ramp that allows me...
  4. Taking a 14 Hour Beach Trip With a Golf Cart Loaded in the Bed... Range?

    My understanding is maximum weight in the bed is only a 10% reduction. Then add in the additional wind resistance due to the high profile of the golf cart roof. It's towing that kills the range. My Flash is heavily loaded with Plumbing goods. I'm at 2.3 miles per kwh after 6000 miles. Rick
  5. Keeping stuff dry in the truck bed

    Either put someone with a good flashlight in the bed and use a Garden hose spraying indirectly or a drive thru car wash. Unless the cover itself leaks, it's either an adjustment or weather stripping at the tailgate that needs to be fixed. Rick
  6. So i did a thing...: 2022 Lariat ER w/Max Tow

    That's why I have a cpa. I leave all the tax ?stuff to them. And they leave all the plumbing ? to me. Rick
  7. So i did a thing...: 2022 Lariat ER w/Max Tow

    I forgot to add, I paid 50k out the door with tax and license. And as a business expense , I can write off the difference in the 50k I paid and 45k I sold it at. Much better to swallow than the low ball 35k the dealers were offering. Rick
  8. So i did a thing...: 2022 Lariat ER w/Max Tow

    What was the original msrp window sticker on that when new? These trucks are dropping like stones. When I purchased my first lightning pro exactly 1 year ago, it had a 55k msrp. 3 months later and 2500 miles, the dealer offered me 35k. On a trade in for a Flash. Online was not much...
  9. Best Phone for Android Auto in the Lightning? Any to Avoid?

    I have a Samsung galaxy A35 5g. It's hit or miss who I get onscreen text from. Not sure if it's a setting or what. I have to check my phone for text as 90% don't show up on the trucks screen.. Any suggestions? Rick
  10. FYI: Your truck is >3 tons

    Out here lots of the streets are tagged 3 ton limit. Not that the street can't support 3 tons, it's they don't want commercial traffic driving down those residential and commercial business district streets. Some cities enforce it, some don't. Rick
  11. Return to the gas pump.

    The other day I put diesel into my sprinter for the first time since May of 2024, pretty much 1 year. $103.00 for 22 gallons. Don't drive it much nor my Nissan NV since buying my Lightning. Rick
  12. 2022 Service History: Help me understand this before possible purchase...

    Looking at all the service records, the owner brings the truck in to the dealer to air up the tires. Seriously this person has 23 different service dates. He either loves the truck or loves his service writer / mechanic.. sure some.were real issues, some tire rotation and cabin filters. But...
  13. How dirty should the 12v battery area get?

    Better check what it cost to make a working key and fob. From what I remember you need 2 working fobs to duplicate a fob. 1 requires a dealer or someone with a programmer. Have Carvana get 2 made as they should be able to get a much better price than you. Rick
  14. Getting dropped by State Farm for several not-at-fault claims 😡 who are you using to insure your Lightning(s) and how's it working out?

    Costco was great for my first Lightning, but upon purchasing my second one 3 months later they sent me a notice they were not going to renew me. They said it's commercial and they don't do commercial policies. Funny as the first one was insured and used the same as the second one. I ended up...
  15. Inside EV‘s China auto show-we are toast!

    Who remembers when Harbor Freight first opened and they basically sold throw away tools. Now they still sell throw away tools due to price point. But they also market keepers that are priced much higher than their throw aways. Pretty sure we can say thing about some of the quality of our stuff...
  16. Ticking from 12v battery compartment

    Looks like a pretty straight forward swap out 3 coolant lines, a wiring connector and a bracket. That $754. probably includes the diagnostics they performed. Jallen posted the link for the valve at $98.27 Worth a shot to order it and if you have it in your hands, it would be pretty basic to...
  17. Tesla used car prices dropped 10.1% in March

    Elon announced he's coming home from DC / DOGE, and spending more time at Tesla. Should help with the stock. Rick
  18. Mangled wiring harness underneath driver seat

    At least we can't blame it on soy based insulation and rats. Rick
  19. Ford Lightning one pedal drive

    Can you explain what's better when in sports mode? Are you activating it everytime you start the truck? Rick
