It is beginning to look like holding a reservation is not terribly relevant to being able to order a Lightning. I can understand Ford giving preference to fleet orders and maybe even allowing its dealers to favor a few of their better customers. But manipulating dealer quotas as a way to...

That's IF you get a Lightning. I suspect that if Ford allows a bidirectional flow from the batteries of its EVs, it is not going to want to put a 240V bed outlet in them. Could Ford control its EV batteries if they allowed users to more directly access them as opposed to going through a 240V...

How expensive is the HIS (Home Integration System?)? If I already have solar and a Sol Ark, could I just get an inverter to convert the 400VDC to the 240V required by the Sol Ark generator port at less cost and without voiding warranties? If not, will the HIS play nice with the Sol Ark?

Don't you have to have circuitry to allow a Charge Station Pro to draw power from an MME or whatever battery? If you can do that, what's to prevent using the generator port of a hybrid inverter like the Sol Ark? Just get a voltage transformer if the battery doesn't output what the inverter needs.

Any Idea if/when Ford will start converting more reservations to orders again? A couple of suggestions: 1- Ford could publish the reservation date on which they are currently working, i.e. converting reservation dates to orders. This would be a good heads-up for reservation holders to pay...

There are two huge omissions in this discussion. The largest is the failure to insist that the ‘externalities’ connected with burning fossil fuels be converted to ‘internalities’, i.e. that people who drive vehicles with internal combustion engines be assessed for the damage they do to the...

I don’t know what is ‘fair’ but calculating a license tax for a Lightning or any electric vehicle using the MSRP isn’t. Entirely aside from all the ‘externalities’, e.g. global warming, wars, damaged health etc, an EV still costs anywhere from 1/3rd to ½ more than the equivalent ICE vehicle. Do...

Thanks. For people who live in Arizona, this is critical: "for deliveries in the fall" . It will cost 3x as much to license a Lightning here for the next 5 years if we can't register the truck before the end of the year. So fall of 22 or fall of 23?
