For Standard Range:
If charging to 100%, I'm getting EPA @ 230 with ~70% freeway driving at this point and in 100F heat, AC more than half of the time.
If all I did was drive in the morning @ 70F and no AC, I would probably see ~260 on a full charge.
I've been using ABRP to calibrate its...
The year is 2035, Ford/GM/Rivian are on their 4th generation EV trucks, people still mentioning that Cybertruck is coming... Elon's Engineers still figuring how to to form panels for mass production and devise a workaround for the windshield wiper...
It installs within the space behind the taillight...
Easier to watch a video..
I'm getting some delivery imperfections ironed out and my dealer is going to install it at that time with my ford pass reward points.
Not too reliable.
Most dealers around me have no markup if you order directly from ford. But once a car is rejected and is their stock, then they add markup.
I wouldn't do it.
700 bucks to me is like a solid year or two of EV driving.
For me, I have a 60amp setup (48amp charger).
In my special EV rate window (6 hours, 12am-6am). I could gain 120 miles of range. I'm never going to need more than that on a day to day basis. If I need more suddenly...
If you're worried about towing. The lightning isnt for you. Get a gas truck, there's nothing wrong with picking a gas truck if an electric one doesn't meet one of your common needs.
It's not hard.
In your: "I've only needed to tow over a 100 miles a couple of times that I can remember" use...
No.
The net only has clips on one side and only works with the hooks with the loop on the other side. It's also not very long/wide to cover the bottom.
There are four rings on the frunk bottom , so I'm sure you could find something to accomplish what you need .
Getting a warranty through Granger, or other sites selling it around cost is a reasonable investment.
I did 8/100,000 and it works out to be $190/yr. In perspective, for me, that's the price of 3 hours of work in a day. I've made worse investments :)
I did the extended for Ford because I...
Hi: @Ford Motor Company could we get a fix for the Ford Pass Trip planner? The charging times are unrealistic, they're off by ~25%.
Example:
I have a standard range, and this is suggesting I could go from 10% - 83% in 30 minutes. That would suggest the Truck could average 155kW for the...
A few Broken EA chargers are still better than no EA chargers.
Things to note:
EAs only been around for 5 years. They've achieved a lot but still a long way to go to improve reliability. No one else is close to EA in the Public space. Tesla is a unique case, their systems are simpler, only...

Rear:
Little bit a crease remaining from being folded for shipping purposes.
Front:
And 30 second cleaning (much easier than carpet mats)
I would say grab it. It's like $50 addon.
I've lost keys before ("lost" as in pretty sure my Toddler threw them away).
A replacement key is ~$300-400. That was the cost to place my Egolf key. Maybe fords are cheaper.
First rule of NorCal thread and waiting for delivery, don't mention upcoming plans for the Truck; Ford listens and makes sure you get it exactly 5 days after what you wanted to do.
You just delayed your truck by 7 Months, Enjoy it Spring of next year :)
Go look at Rivian forums, no one really cares about this. The community is not outraged. The article found the one person who was mad in a thread that was only 2 pages long on the less active Rivian forum.
Pretty sure they are right, the lower end trim wasn't being ordered. The price...
