...Er, I removed this for now. I had my tires mixed up and I'm an idiot...

Huh, now I guess I need to check for a lock...

I need to drive my Lightning out east and give it a try... All you guys reporting success with EA, on here and more so on the Rivian forums, are all south and east. I think EA is headquartered in Virginia. I'm in West Virginia a lot -- have not drove out with an EV, usually fly and WV is like...

At $0.357/kWh, I think I'd be getting quotes on solar. Yikes...

The stations seem to be throttling most everyone. That's the biggest issue I'm having with EA chargers on my couple road trips. Plug into a 350kW charger, only one other car a charger two stalls over -- I'm at 23% and battery and truck are warm after driving well over 120 miles. I get 39kW...

I wouldn't trust standing on most any tonneau cover out there. Including the Extang or any of the covers mentioned in this thread. Most of the Extang hard folding covers have distributed weight limits between 200 and 500 lbs, the new ALX is 600 lbs. Or max weight limit from 35lbs to 88lbs...

Mine was delivered 2 weeks to the day of taking delivery of my truck... Still in the box until I have all the necessary electrical work done. Need panel and service upgrade and a nasty long wire run for a new sub panel in the garage. Ugh...

They have two coming in 2024. The Lincoln brand will probably be 100% EV in 10 years or less, just like Cadillac. But you're right, no EVs right now, which is why most don't want to opt in at huge expense at this time. I bet most of those that are committing are already doing so for Ford...

I have had to call EA on all but two of my last 10 or 12 charge stops! All I get from them are 20 minute hold times just so I can use my account rate to charge since their NFC readers are not working. Touch screens don’t work…. Charger won’t climb above a rate of 40kW…. All I get are excuses...

Yeah, I was 2023 wave 2 (August) and they were not an option at the time. Not selectable in the system on my end, nor for the dealership trying to enter/confirm the order. And we kept checking as Ford would change things up -- they made me confirm the scales and smart hitch delete after my...

I've made a few posts here and on the Rivian forums as well... The EA charger hardware/ network is absolute trash. It's not just hurting Ford, it's hurting all EVs. I recently encountered a guy in an Ionic 5 at an EA charger and he was having worse luck with charging than I was. Chatted with...

Will report here in a few days when I get it installed. I picked the top version because of the lock design and multiple lock positions, matte black powder coat and the boxlink mounts.

Yep, the missing fold flat storage is irksome... Anyway, the truck is great. Out of curiosity, are the power-deploy running boards an option this time around. It seems those were only offered in wave 4, maybe 5. I have a set on order for my truck, but can't seem to get any ETA...

In your FordPass app, go to your account page. Scroll down to the bottom to the help button. It then gives you the option to contact support via chat or to call them. I actually used both over the course of getting my truck connected.

ICE range in the cold drops more than most people realize. And just like an EV, towing range is significantly less too.. Things nobody really thinks or cares about because most ICE vehicles can go another 75 to 100 miles on a full tank vs. EVs and we can fill up quickly and just about...

Not going for over MSRP. Some dealerships are still delusional thinking they can add mark-ups, and some will get it if the right customer walks in. But we're talking like a $5K mark-up. By the time you buy the truck, plus fees, plus pay tax on the purchase, you'll be lucky to break even on...

Probably the best Lightning video out there. Most useful I've seen.

The dash cluster/instrument display is pretty lacking in the Lightning. But you can monitor your mile(kilometers) per kWh energy consumption. Watch that number and see how it relates. There are discussions on here about energy consumption and what numbers people are seeing. It's all very...

There are a few things going on here. First and foremost, the mileage the truck shows is an estimate -- usually referred to as the Guess-O-Meter or GOM. This estimate changes over time and adapts to YOUR driving and energy consumption values. Same as in an ICE vehicle with MPG based range...

Depends on your region... On a whole, the available inventory is quite low. If you place an order, it will match you with an inventory car first if one fits your configuration. Part of the problem now is the Tesla community is very feature-aware and info-connected when it comes to Tesla and...
