For now I just purchased one of these and used Velcro to install it in a spot that isn't obvious. My garage door openers are My-Q enabled and I have Google home, but we live in a gated area and I need a remote to open that...
Interesting. I wanted a Lariat with Max Tow and Pro Power, but there were very few in the entire state of California, and they all had other issues that made them unattractive. Plus I was set on the Color "Avalanche" so that really arrowed it down. I ended up with the color I wanted that was...
We have a platinum 2017 Explorer. The platinum line usually gets the very high quality "Nirvana" leather. The Lariat leather is not the same grade, and I believe the ActiveX is a suitable and quality product after 10 days of ownership. I too had reservations, but ActiveX is what my unit came...
ActiveX is not like the Vinyl seals from the 70's. It's a premium synthetic product that has many advantages over leather. Many car manufacturers including high end companies are starting to introduce similar seating materials.
ActiveX is a synthetic seating material that's designed to be...
It says which one it is on the top right of the window sticker. My Lariat has Active-X and they are fine. I know a lot of people actually prefer the Active-X over the real leather.
I contacted a dealer in both Washington State and Nevada. Neither one would sell me a vehicle because I reside in California. Apparently when you buy out of state and live in California, California now collects the sales tax from the other state when you go to register it. So Both Washington and...
I'm in California and all I could find was a couple 2023 Lariats that were way over the $80K limit and wouldn't qualify for the $7500 Federal Tax Credit. So I moved on to the 2024 models and found out there are hardly any with Max tow out there! I really wanted the color "Avalanche" to make...
Just took delivery of our Lightning Lariat a week ago. Very impressed and loving it! I was a Ford guy since my early teens years ago. My Grandfather was a Ford man. Hot rodded a 1970 Ford Torino GT. At 20 I got a job as a tech (We were "mechanics" back then LOL!) at our local Chevrolet...
Bringing this thread back to life. My welcome lighting was set to on when I picked up the truck 10/1. Yesterday I setup my "Phone as Key" and the welcome lighting never works when I have my phone with me. Is there a setting in the FordPass app to correct this, or do I just ditch the Phone as Key...
Maybe you don't realize that you received two $1K rebates in September, and now those are gone but you can get the charger and installation, or a $2K rebate in lieu of that which amounts to the same thing.
It's a 200 amp panel, but it's been downgraded twice for solar installations. So no open slots for sure, but I disconnected the 220 dryer wiring and put a 60 amp breaker in it's place for a hardwired charger.
Just DocuSigned my purchase tonight to get the incentives that expired 9/30. Won't pickup my Lightning until tomorrow. Looks like they may have dropped the 0% 60 month financing, so I'm probably better off anyway. You can get a $2000 incentive instead of taking the charger and installation and...
Trying to find out what the warranty is on the Emporia since I can't find that anywhere on the Amazon listing. I think I can get the hardwire version and just go straight to a 60 amp breaker in my service box which is directly through the wall from where the charger would be mounted. That would...
How about this Wolf hardwire charger? Anybody use one?
My Utility is PG&E and they do so it seems. But only if you purchase a used EV and are on a low income assistance program unfortunately. Considering the hardwired Emporia charger.
Still learning even at the bold age of 67. I think that makes the most sense. So, what is the best EVSE without breaking the bank? I see a bunch on Amazon, but I'm sure some of them are less than worth.
