  1. Off-Grid Setup - Without Home Integration and SunRun Discussion

    Fun stuff! You can charge the truck and run 120/240 V outlets at the same time. I do not believe you can charge and pull power from the CCS connector at the same time without emulating the signaling used by the devices you are avoiding. I am attempting to bypass the same devices by working...
  2. 2" inch Readylift Level with 20 inch Method Wheels (+18) wrapped in 295 60 20 Recon Grapplers

    Nice! Be aware Toyo is bringing out EV all terrain tires with lower road rolling resistance next year. Idea is have extended range even with an all terrain tire.
  3. Tesla wants to charge reservation holders an extra $120k for early delivery of the Cyber Truck.

    Sadly the order document you see after ordering says you have to keep it for a year before selling to anyone other than Tesla. They will allow a transaction to continue at their discretion. If you violate that they want the profit plus $50K. Super lame.
  4. Consumer Reports Real-World EV range test, 22 EVs tested for range; F150 Lightning tested worst (50 miles less range than EPA estimate/claim)

    Anyone have any data about tire road resistance at various speeds? It would interesting to compare that against aerodynamic drag at various speeds. We know the Lariat has better range (20 miles) due primarily to the wheel/tire sizes. That’s a large percentage of the 50 miles CR is quoting...
  5. Dear Ford, you've lost your mind

    My ā€˜23 Mach E sticker lists blue cruise and no where does it show a time period. Thinking I’ll have my lawyer send a nice letter when the time comes.
  6. Cybertruck Prices and Trim

    Fun times! Dusting off my mechanical engineering, statics and dynamics! The tongue weight of the trailer JDM (just doesn’t matter) because the trailer has wheels supporting it which minimizes the Fulcrum ā€œmomentā€ of the tongue if memory serves. The issue is mass behind the rear axle - with no...
  7. Cybertruck Prices and Trim

    That is a lot of Weight behind the axle. Not a good idea.
  8. Any experience using command hooks on your paint?

    The only thing that should go on the paint is ceramic coating or paint protection film (PPF). otherwise scratches or swirls result.
  9. I'm out after 6 months

    Given you decided to sell, it’s very smart you did it before the Cybertruck announcement. The potential exists for a big Lightning resale hit depending on the $cost/range ratio.
  10. Truck Height for Parking Structures

    Whip antenna is your last chance warning device. it moves, you back up!
  11. Instrument Cluster …Checkered Flag?

  12. Toyo EV Optimized Truck tires coming next year

    It begins… Note the truck shown in the pics: https://www.toyotires.com/open-country-at3-ev
  13. [UPDATE: It's repairable...] Well, F-150 Lightning it was nice knowing you... Hopefully, I can find another...

    I’m not seeing any crumple zone deformations. If the wheel and suspension mounts are not ripped out or deformed, this might not be a major repair. If they are repairing, please force the issue on new wheel, axle and brake components. You don’t want vibrations from ever so slightly bent...
  14. Borla Exhaust Sounds (Exterior Speaker) for the Lightning

    Would be great to just use it for sound effects. much entertainment value.
  15. Ford will postpone about $12 billion in EV investment as buyers become more cautious

    @Ford Motor Company It’s so simple. EV adoption defunds the countries/entities that are trying to do ā€œusā€ harm. Pitch it that way to get out from under the political BS. We all chip in to defund the terrorists. That’s an easier sell. Also lose the Chinese battery suppliers! Next, the early...
  16. ALL the CHANGES to the 2024 Ford F-150 LIGHTNING

    Wait for the ā€˜25. Everyone who buys a ā€˜24 will be really upset when the ā€˜25 arrives.
  17. 2024 F-150 Lightning Order Guide & Pricing List (MSRP/Invoice)

    Wondering when they will announce the extended range PLUS battery pack option? otherwise there will be many lot queens out there when the cyber truck range/pricing is announced. GM is already @ 400+ miles.
  18. Some Possibly New Insights into the Chevy Silverado WT4

    On the Hummer EV Truck the numbers appear to be pretty realistic. why would the Silverado be any different?
