It would be even worse if I backed in. Now the cable and handle are right by the garage door where all kind of things can go wrong. I think Rivian has a nice compromise. Low down on the diver side near bumper but still think Lightning has it right and where it should be. The newer DCFC stations...

I think if you had the truck you would not question this. There is about 6" clearance from front of truck to wall in my and I think most garages. Also many DCFC stations are side access. take a look at picture below. Just imagine the cable strain if it was in front. The Lighting has it in the...

I'm going from $76 pm on my 15 year old Tundra to $103 pm on the Platinum F-150. I like it. Cheaper than my Etron or my Mustang Mach-E! or even my 2016 I3.

Done over 30 DCFC now. Always stop on the vehicle. Center button. give it a couple of seconds. Never an issue. Never know on the station equipment. Could be buggy, someone may have taken a baseball bat to it, etc Not like gas where you yank away immediately. Though to be honest even on gas you...

Along with what everyone said... Also check the 12v terminal connections just to be safe. The Mach-e owners had this come up. Some sort of drain is causing the vehicle to transfer power from the HVB to the LVB. It could be lived with too, but there could be the day when the HVB is super low and...

One thing that annoys me on the Mach-E is the SoC is displayed next to a battery legend that does not match. you can be at 90% SoC but the battery will say 1/2 empty! EV engineers are so near and yet off at the same time on SoC...

Nice. Since they kicked that crazy founder CEO out (is he in jail yet) they have been a much more normal company. They actually reported vehicle sales last quarter!

It isn't just Ford either. EV engineers just don't like giving this info. Not sure why. Some memo we are not party too. Same issue on my Etron. SoC is buried several layers deep. Though to be fair charge rate in miles per hour is displayed at DCFC charging. Same on my BMW I3. There was a multi...

This is not correct. BlueovalSK is the source for these batteries and they have 2 factories state side. Also have LFP ability. The giant Georgia factory, visible from I85, can't miss it, is the source right now and has the capacity for ~ 200,000 vehicles at full build out. Its been running for a...

I know right. With some poking and prodding I read between the lines that the dealer makes close to $9k on a MSRP sale!! Almost no work. Clean the truck, charge it, bottle of water, some finance paperwork and out the door.

Or flip the truck to neutral. That's what I have been doing. Like a modified stick shift. Definitely helps with efficiency. Kinda used to it as my Volts behave this way.

Peel that sticker, come on you can do it....?

BTW the symptom you reported indicates bad charge cable cooling slow sensor specifically since the other cable works. I would report it on plug share so the next person can avoid it. Also EA does monitor the comments and will eventually send someone to fix. So your truck is fine. You just need...

Those satellite images are misleading. It is actually green meadow space. I have been to several here in missouri and it is filled with insects and animals and flowering under growth. As long as they don't nuke it or gravel it its real nice. Better than come paved cookie cutter sub division...

The truck has a low voltage and that charger looks to be amp limited 62.5 unit. You could easily see 40-50 kw type charge speeds. You may not actually not see any time savings going to that seguin unit vs the EA. At about 65%-70% on the EA you will get 170+ kw on the burst charge to 80% At EA...

My suggestion, go to San Antonio EA, charge to 90%. That extra 35 miles will give you a lot of peace of mind at the end, more than worth the extra 30 minutes. You get to take a break as well. When my kids are in the car I always like to have a 50 mile buffer. Never go below. Never know when you...

Don't agree. Ford Electrified engineering team has been working on this battery system, both Mach-E and Lightning since at least 2015. And before. Much of this is was tested on the Fusion Hybrid since 2009 or so. I actually think it was the break with Rivian that tipped their hand, they...

Mine has the max tow. 60 kw dcfc while under 80% , there is something likely broken. Your truck would light up like a Christmas tree though…. If there are no codes it has to be the chargers. Try swapping them around. I just did a 1,600 mile round drive to Indiana and almost every EA station...

God that thing is fugly. Also that combined bed and cabin design will cause serious issues for truck folks. It comes in one color right - tin can and its going to ding and oil can like crazy. For folks who use a truck like a truck, it is madness. Maybe ok on city streets.

To OP. I know it sounds like a lot, but it looks like you will qualify for the fed credit, so this price increase maybe a wash for you. Everyone who cancelled 2 years ago when the Platinum was listed for 92k is regretting it now. And yes there was a lot of yelling and screaming and down right...
