  2. Senate votes to place a $40,000 price cap on EV tax credit.

    This could be a killer for me. As it is, the cheapest I can afford to get into an extended range Lightning would be roughly $60k without tax credits, and my wife and I bring in more than $100k per year. A lot of reservations will be canceled if this stands...
  3. HVAC and Range

    I live southeast of New Orleans and have driven PHEVs for years. Air conditioning has minimal effect on range in my experience. Maybe 2% at most. Heating, on the other hand, can really drag the battery down. I've found that preconditioning my car while its plugged in and using the heated seats...
  4. Standard Range Battery vs Extended Range Battery

    I'm coming from a Volt as well. I'm actually surprised at the amount of degradation your 2011 battery has experienced. My first Volt was a 2015 that I bought new. I was able to regularly get 40+ miles from the battery from the time I bought it until I replaced it last year with a used 2017 Volt.
  5. How many EV tax credits does Ford have left under current law?

    No information on this site (that I can find) regarding how many vehicles can be sold before the manufacturer is no longer eligible.
  6. How many EV tax credits does Ford have left under current law?

    I know that many of us are hoping for the new $12,500 tax credit legislation to pass, but for this topic, I'm only interested in how many tax credits Ford has remaining under the current $7,500 law. I tried using google to find my answer, but the most recent data I could find was from June...
  7. Powering house with Lightning

    I'm certainly no electrician, and I could be wrong, but my neighbors and I have had a lot of experience with hurricane outages. Those of us running portable gas powered generators have never been able to pull the necessary starting amps for a whole house A/C. A window unit, sure, but not whole...
  8. Powering house with Lightning

    At first, I was a tad upset to learn that this truck would have the capability of powering a home only a couple of months after having my 22 KWh natural gas Generac installed. My electrician assures me, however, that the lightning would not be capable of powering my 4 ton AC in southeast LA...
  9. Are reservation holders required to pay MSRP + markup?

    I got it in writing from my dealer (Banner Ford, Louisiana) that they will be selling the lightning for MSRP.
  10. What if I don't want the 80A charging station?

    Well it's good to know there is already a line of people waiting to get an 80A charging station. I expect I'll be able to unload it easily or perhaps even trade it for a 48A setup. Thanks!
  11. What if I don't want the 80A charging station?

    I know I may be in a small camp here, but I plan on buying an XLT with extended range battery, but have no need for the 80A charging station. My reasons are simple: 1. I already have a 240V/24A charge station in my driveway that will handle the majority of charging for daily use (30 mile...
