  1. AC charger 48 or 50 amp

    I have a pro and charge at 48 amps. My charger pulls about 11KW. I’m not sure what tangible or noticeable difference you’d see between 48 and 50 amps? As Blochead mentioned above- you need at least 6 gage wire for either 48 or 50 amp circuit.
  2. 11 Weeks At Dealership With No ETA For Part Arrival - Frunk Failure

    That’s nuts. I don’t think I would have purchased if I had heard your experience before I purchased. I can understand not having parts. I can’t understand (or forgive) the complete lack of communication.

    Gorgeous. If you’re enjoying it 1/2 as much as I love mine u must be pretty dang happy!!
  4. 655 mi 2-day trip report... GA to SC to GA

    That’s great and pretty encouraging to hear. 49 psi? I had no idea u could go that high. Was your driving interstate or did you stick to local highways?
  5. Finally got my first issue, navigator maps crashed.

    My Nav unit hasn’t crashed on my 12” screen. However… it froze for about 30 seconds yesterday, and froze again today, for about 10 minutes before suddenly waking up. Fingers crossed it’s just an anomaly. The built in nav unit in this truck is impressive.
  6. Are we losing the EV Revolution?

    I totally agree with the sentiment, but it’s worth mentioning several things. We’re enriching China, and have become quite dependent on them for the precious minerals necessary for battery manufacturing. Additionally, we’re literally funding child slave labor in the process. The USA is sitting...
  7. Tesla Supercharger Ford Compatability Date

    https://www.ford.com/support/how-tos/electric-vehicles/public-charging/can-i-charge-my-ford-electric-vehicle-at-a-tesla-supercharger/ According to Ford: “You can find Magic Dock-equipped locations through the FordPass®** App or your vehicle's Connected Navigation system.”
  8. Question about real battery capacity, charging to “100%” (notice the quotes)

    I’ve heard the owners manual recommend charging to 100%. I haven’t been able to find where it says this, but can’t find where it suggests charging to something less, either. Battery health and longevity being key, I believe it’s common knowledge that staying between 80% and 20% of a batteries...
  9. Are we losing the EV Revolution?

    Heh, same. I brewed biodiesel, as well as converted one of my diesels to run straight grease. I still can’t figure out what was more of a pain. The leftover biodiesel stew of the never ending used grease filtration and learning curve of just how to convert the fuel delivery system. I ran a...
  10. Front sensor blocked

    My 10/23 build starting doing this yesterday.
  11. One pedal driving- mechanical question

    I just received my F150 lightning. I have a question about regenerative braking. While using it will extend the lifespan of the brake pads, and other brake components, does it do so at the expense of shorter ev motor life? EV efficiency aside, which one is less expensive when long term...
  12. New guy- just ordered today. Charge Station info needed-driveway charging?

    Thanks for the tip- that's exactly what I ordered. I needed to educate myself with some youtube on how to drill a 3 5/8" hole saw through cinder block- but in the end it's absolutely perfect, and functions properly. I needed to cut the back end off the two RV port covers (impossible to tell...
  13. Pro Floor mats?

    Thanks- that’s excellent advice.
  14. Pro Floor mats?

    My fear is tearing the plastic. This Pro will be a work truck, and many things (some with sharp edges) will be in and out often.
  15. Pro Floor mats?

    Thanks. Just ordered the last one.
  16. Pro Floor mats?

    I just picked up my long awaited 2023 Lightning Pro last night, and need floor mats. I don't believe my truck has a back seat storage box, and all the back seat bench options I'm seeing mention custom cut for storage box. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Off topic- I love this truck...

    Picked up the pro tonight. Avalanche. It’s much better looking, and drives better than anticipated. A few gaps uneven, but all in all it’s terrific. It’s a bit higher than my 2 wheel drive f250 diesel, but man does it drive nicer?. The “small” screen on the Pro is still huge. I bought it to be...
  18. âś… 10/23/2023 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

    My salesman called this morning, and was a completely different person, very accommodating, and very charming. I should be able to pick up the vehicle tomorrow night, assuming I can make it over there before they close. Very excited. After making my reservation as early as I could in May...

    Given the two- I prefer lazy over liar! I don’t know what to think I asked him to email as much of the paperwork as possible for a quick transaction- he asked me to insure the vehicle before I even see it, and said he would not email anything until I have insured the unseen (and according to...
  20. âś… 10/23/2023 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

    Ford updated status to FINAL PREP for my order. I contacted my salesman- he said it had not arrived and Fords website was inaccurate ? Looking forward its arrival
