They are full of haters of EV brands that don’t advertise on their website…

It’ll be interesting to see the Cybertruck and Lightning go head to head in sales and specs, but Ford is hardly leaving Tesla in the dust. If you ignore Elons erratic behavior, the company is rapidly innovating and improving their cars constantly, and the Monroe tear down videos are eye opening...

Good to see they are off the ground and running. I imagine it’s logistically easier to recycle a single EV battery than thousands of smaller consumer batteries to recover the same amount of material. I think Redwood was founded by the Co-founder of Tesla so it should be exciting to see them...

Make sure you are running Tesla app version 4.18. Then the subscription prices will show up

Yikes. I guess it’s not surprising that they charge more per kWh for non teslas, but I don’t think many people will be using Lightnings on road trips if it’s almost twice the cost of driving a gas truck at $3/gallon

So is the "range extender" just a big generator that you can take camping or to remote places and charge while stopped? Or is it meant to replenish the truck as you drive? Problem I see here is you can drain an extended range 130kwh Lightning with about 3.5 hours of highway driving, which is a...

I'm definitely waiting for the Enphase bidirectional EV charger for my Lightning and skipping the Ford system since I already have an Enphase Solar array. Having your solar inverters/combiner/system controller and EV charger all built by the same company and programmed to talk to each other...

I’m really trying to be optimistic about the Lightning but I have a sinking feeling that there might be a recall at some point over these batteries. Seems statistically unlikely that the truck that caught fire or the one that was flagged during inspection was the very first vehicle to be...

I haven’t done my soon-to-be delivered Lightning, but I did my Tesla occasionally without any adverse results. I mainly sprayed the steel suspension components and some of the battery shielding with fluid film. I didn’t see a point in spraying any of the electronic wiring or connectors since...

It is a bummer that Ford doesn't make more adapters like 5-20 or 6-50 adapters for their mobile charger. I'll definitely put that feedback if they give me a post delivery survey. I have 6-50 outlets in my garage so I'll just have to use an adapter with the 14-50 plug until I can find someone...

Thanks! I think I figured it out

Is there a trick to get the tracker to work? I used the order # on my ford.com reservation page but every time I put in that number and the vin in the tracker it says "invalid order number"

Do they have some promo for EVs? Right now their website says as low as 5.75% for new purchases

If Ford really does shift to an EV company, dealership charging will be a piece but not a critical player in solving charging infrastructure challenges. If you look at Tesla, they’ve built over 16,000 stalls in the US spread over several thousand locations, whereas their service/delivery centers...

Just found my window stickers - relieved that they are putting all seasons on like I requested. Should be able to get the full Colorado tax credit now.

Hasn't the base model Mach Es always started at around $45k? I clicked through the website and prices seem similar. I definitely think that Tesla offering the Model Y with a 330 mile range for $53k is great for consumers. It doesn't seem like you can get an extended range (310 mile) Mach E for...

Hmmmm…that’s what I suspected but when I checked I still have the sensor/heated wheel/scale delete that I’ve always had, so I guess I’ll keep an eye on it as the build date gets closer

I got the same email and also couldn't figure out what changed

Has anyone got a very vague "your order has been updated" email? When I log into my account I can't see any noticeable changes and I'm trying to make sure I'm not missing anything.

Yes, assuming the FCSP is hooked up to at least a 60A circuit, you’ll be able to charge your Model Y at its full 48A charge speed with the adapter that’s included with the Y. Even if you hook your FCSP to a 100A circuit, 48A is the max charging speed on the Y.
