Wow- just plug and play- no messing with forescan?

Wow. My stock Michelin's have 40,000 miles on them, and appear to have ~50% left on tread. They seem about on par with the Michelin defenders I have on my F250. Currently 65,000 miles on them, and plenty of life left. I worry more about dry rot at this point than tread. I'd sell my truck if I...

Nothing. Perhaps load rating, other than that it's marketing.

The national enquirer broke the Jon Edward's story. Prestige is unimportant- what's in the article is.

I have no more information than you. But Brian's reply in the other thread is very telling, imo. "Right now, we’re focused on producing F-150 ICE and Hybrid as we recover from the fire at Novelis. We will bring Rouge Electric Vehicle Center back up at the right time, but don’t have an exact...

These rumors weren't generated out of thin air. The lightings future is currently in serious jeopardy. Edit: current stock price 13.22 (after hours Friday) will be interesting to see the markets reaction once this is digested

Costs aside, I love that Ford is so confident in their battery to actually recommend using it as an energy storage device for your home on a regular basis! This bodes well for those who wish to keep their trucks a long, long time imo.

The market agrees, as reflected in the stock movement after this news dropped. if the government simply stayed out of it, instead of forcing the issue, there wouldn't be such ingrained resistance and strong ev resentment among so many people. Personally love my Lightning. It's impossible not to...

Over 600 page owners manual, and the closest thing I can find is changing the "transmission fluid" at 160k. Since we don't actually have transmissions, are we to assume this is the ev motor gear fluid? Other than flushing the brake and cooling system fluid periodically, are we supposed to...

No change here, I worry about the instant torque damaging the gears in the ev motor/gear when I stomp on it, it just reacts too quickly. I little gradual acceleration in the first 1/2 second would actually be welcomed, as I want (need) this thing to last since its over 36k miles lol

Used EV's are such an incredible steal right now. Eventually, even those with significant EV hesitation will buy them, and then it will no longer be a political choice. They're just better in nearly every aspect, imo. (assuming you can charge at home, of course)

Good luck with this swap. It makes sense Ford doesn't want anyone getting into Forscan and bricking their truck. Those with the knowledge, skill, and expertise are able to safely operate under a different set of rules. Thanks for making this experience public, can't wait to sit shotgun and...

Great pics!

Understandably. Difficult to compete with GM's "standard range"

Peak hours I would assume

Like you, there just isn't enough room In the garage for the lighting. I don't like not being able to close the garage door all the way. I drilled a hole through the exterior wall into the garage, and simply routed the charging cable outside, while keeping the charger inside. Incorporated a...

Just get an LT tire. This is less weight than my f250.

The graph for a sr is hilarious @85 🤭

I get pretty close to 2mi/kw at 70. Exponentially less over 80 (1.5 or less). Hot and humid in S Florida. Something else to consider if you've never owned an ev... something I wish I had before my purchase. For your regular route- you don't typically charge to 100% and drive to 0%. I keep mine...

I'll take your word for it, I just have my wife's car that uses ceramic. Still on original pads after 40,000 miles plenty left on them. I thought our trucks might also since I've never seen a bit of brake dust? anyway it is pretty sweet we don't need to use our brakes. Biggest advantage imo...
