  1. Pop-up Trailer Towing Experience?

    Yeah, I'm only referring to the picture RickLightning posted and said that's the only one he knows of where a towed vehicle won't block anyone.
  2. Pop-up Trailer Towing Experience?

    Each of those pedestals is designed to service two EVs--four EVs per every two pedestals. How would a truck "pull through" like you said and avoid blocking the second charger that was in the same lane? Like I said, they wouldn't block a travel lane but they would still block a charger.
  3. Pop-up Trailer Towing Experience?

    Even that bottom picture would have trucks blocking the second charge stall (behind the ID4). They wouldn't block the travel lanes, however, so marginally better than the usual layout.
  4. 1,837 F-150 Lightnings Sold in June 2022

    Why not? There's almost a week between May 26th and June 1st. Counting the 26th and 31st, there were six days to deliver vehicles to customers before the 1st.
  5. Charging Curve Posted For 2022 F-150 Lightning

    Have you seen data on this? My hunch is that there are more max tows than not.
  6. Mannequin but no test drives?

    To what end? Orders are currently frozen. The only people who want to test drive these vehicles are tire kickers and people who already have one coming.
  7. Ford EV battery warranty question for CARB II states like CA = more years / miles ?

    I don't know what Ford will specifically cover, but the motors have historically been covered by the drivetrain warranties of the BEVs I've owned in the past. The federal regulations only require the manufacturers warranty their battery *packs* themselves and they don't mandate how those...
  8. Ford EV battery warranty question for CARB II states like CA = more years / miles ?

    That only applies to Transitional Zero Emissions Vehicles (TZEV), formerly Enhanced Advanced Technology Partial zero-emissions Vehicles (Enhanced AT-PZEV). I assume the longer warranty was intended to incentivize adoption. Whatever their reasoning, that extended battery warranty doesn't apply...
  9. Can In-Vehicle Safe by Console Vault be installed by customer or does it need dealer install ?

    88 counties! That is ridiculous. HAHAHAHA. OK, so for the past ten years I've been telling students, "after AB109 passed, we now have 58 different ways of procedural justice in our state." Now, thanks to you, I will end that sentence with "...thankfully we're not in Ohio because they have 88!"
  10. Can In-Vehicle Safe by Console Vault be installed by customer or does it need dealer install ?

    It's not..and it's not even consistent county to county. In CA we have 58 counties...fun fun fun :)
  11. Can In-Vehicle Safe by Console Vault be installed by customer or does it need dealer install ?

    Behind a lock, yes, but not behind a key. When things, such as firearms, are required to be kept in a locked environment it's currently established law that government can demand someone relinquish the physical key to that lock. If the lock is secured via passphrase, however, government is...
  12. Can In-Vehicle Safe by Console Vault be installed by customer or does it need dealer install ?

    I don't have any experience with it other than to say all key operated locks are subject to seizure so if security from government is one feature you'd like to retain you'll need to find one that can only be opened via password. To clarify: the locks themselves are not the issue; the...
  13. Payload capacity on Lightning Lariat Extended Range : 1452 pounds (Updated: Now 1697 pounds in some configurations)

    Yeah, I'm doing fine. My fifth wheel doesn't overload my 3/4 ton...but it still squats without air. It would be ridiculous to stack another half ton on top of it and it's built for this task unlike the F150's suspension. I would not be "fine" if I tried to use my truck like that. That was my...
  14. Attended F-150 Lightning Launch Event -- Writeup, Photos, Max Payload, GVWR

    Great advice. It's been costing us a few hundred dollars a week but my wife has been using the RAM for running around town. After a few days of adjustment she now thinks her Touareg is small and can't wait for the F150! :) The GTI was to the Touareg as the Touareg is to the RAM! One of the...
  15. Payload capacity on Lightning Lariat Extended Range : 1452 pounds (Updated: Now 1697 pounds in some configurations)

    This entire conversation is just becoming increasingly bizarre to me. You've got you acting like it's just a casual thing to overload a truck by more than a ton while using your F250 *super duty* for comparison! A super duty isn't a 250, a 250 isn't a 150, and none of them are on IRS on top of...
  16. Payload capacity on Lightning Lariat Extended Range : 1452 pounds (Updated: Now 1697 pounds in some configurations)

    How is this a serious consideration? The bed will be sitting on the tires...
  17. Wave 5 or 6? Order invitation received today (Tuesday). Ordered Lariat SR - regret ?

    Yeah, I didn't want any of that and had an XL on order but my wife kept asking whether it had keyless entry and start like our old rig, and then power seats w/ memory, and then power pedals w/ memory, etc. Each question resulted in a trim bump until we ran out of trims... I originally had AT...
  18. Wave 5 or 6? Order invitation received today (Tuesday). Ordered Lariat SR - regret ?

    This is from my email blast Jan 6th: I'm not sure if they changed their policy, but I moved my reservation to the desert once the first waves went out with a sum total of...one. There was no way I was getting an order invite there with my current position being over 100! I doubt there will...
  19. Wave 5 or 6? Order invitation received today (Tuesday). Ordered Lariat SR - regret ?

    whoa, where you going? Kearny Mesa Ford was promising no ADM or forced ads in writing as of a few months ago. I eventually ended up at El Centro Motors out in Imperial County for no ADM and only 10 orders in front of me (I was 120th or so at Kearny Mesa). If you change dealerships let me know...
  20. Ford to Exert More Control Over EV Sales at Dealerships With Non-Negotiable Pricing

    I don't have a scheduled production date so I have a slight concern. :/
