I despise Telsa infotainment. The fact that t won't support CarPlay/AndroidPlay integration is a reflection that they treat customers as cattle and have zero interest in listing to feedback. Tesla has great coding chops and everything works well. I much prefer my Lightning's much friendlier...

I agree. I lucked in to my Max Tow Lariat by buying a showroom mannequin @ MSRP. I had to wait 6 mos to take possession, but there were two price increases during that period that I avoided. I SO love this truck and, truth be told, don't need the max tow, but like having the extra cooling...

No surprise here at all. This will be the case until new facilities are commissioned at Blue Oval in KY/TN. I believe that's slated for late next year or early '25. Cost won't decline until new manufacturing efficiencies are secured. We'll also see the benefits of insourcing components. I...

FWIW, I took the suggestion of someone here months ago to use the Sport mode not to get more zip (though that is fun), but to increase regen. It's great, highly recommend.

I am a first-time Ford owner thanks to the Lightening. I live in a state with laws that are a product of dealership lobbying and are so strict that Tesla has to locate on native locales. I hate the restraint of trade under the guise of "consumer protection". I expected my experience with a...

I love my dealer, but I'd have to go 70 mi to find another. I think a lot of rural truck owners are in this position.

I agree. Tesla's infotainment platform is horrible. Not offering Android Play or Car Play is an indication that Tesla sees its customers as cattle. Once one goes through the brain damage of learning how to met up playlists, favorites, podcasts etc., one has s a distinct inferior user...

That's true of a huge array of non-camping mods as well. Where I live almost everybody who works out of their truck has tool boxes and specialty equipment for folks who need to cart around pipes or ladders or whatever. There are hundreds of manufacturers that supply this aftermarket demand. I...

The truck will sell like hotcakes to the Tesla fans who want to be the first in their hood to have a Darth Vader mobile. That demand could be significant, but it does nor include any of the legions of people who work out of their truck and couldn't possibly configure this platform for their...

Before seeing this video I believed that the reason so many CCS1 chargers perform poorly is because of they way they were implemented by various companies that have adopted them. I thought that the right software and hardware might be able to get equivalent performance that is the standard 99+%...

Battery tech won't power Ford's highly profitable SuperDuty truck (F-250 & up). It is clearly headed towards H propulsion for those. It has patented an H engine and is investing hugely. It's SoCalGas is one of many...

The most recent segment of the InsideEVs podcast devoted its first 20 minutes to this:. Interesting to hear the experts bat it around.

my vote is for the Enphase HCS-80 EV Charger (https://enphase.com/store/ev-chargers/commercial-ev-chargers/hcs-80-ev-charger). Pricey, but worth it.

I've called when I've experienced parallel service. Nice, overworked reps tried to help, but couldn't. He rebooted. He took a station offline. Nothing worked. I've had abysmal EA service.

What a useless puff piece. Does zero to restore my deplorable experience with this company. It could have been so different if a new leader had been truthful, acknowledged issues and talked about what's being done.

he's a link to a video about the certification process..its arduous.

One time preconditioning settings are a great suggestion. For people without regular departure times, preconditioning is a slog.

Ford patented its Pet Mode a long time ago. (https://www.motortrend.com/news/ford-patent-dog-pet-mode-feature/) Not being able to keep my dog cool when I'm away limits our time together .

went through 2' of rammed earth in the utility room and then underground.

I own a Model 3 Tesla. It's a dynamite, well-engineered and efficient vehicle that performs very well on the road. I also own a Lightning. I agree it is a wonderful truck. (I own two others and have never not owned one in the past 50 years.) It too is very well engineered. I've never...
