  1. 2024 Lightning

    I guess it depends on what state you are in. Our state roads are constantly paved and repaired so it would be a very fast install. And I am sure if they use the Federal money from the IRA for chargers, it would go even faster. The County roads are a different story :LOL:
  2. 2024 Lightning

    Not to be rude but please read the link I posted about the technology instead of repeating talking points. It really is not helpful and sucks :mad: https://witricity.com/technology/why-magnetic-resonance/
  3. 2024 Lightning

    Did you see the private company link I posted above? I think this technology is developing much faster than in the past and will happen sooner than you think :) Electricity is already along most highways so it would not be difficult to implement. "WiTricity technology allows urban transit...
  4. 2024 Lightning

    I think everyone is forgetting about the potential wireless charging while driving infrastructure that is being tested for semi trucks along highways. This would extend the battery range and allow for smaller battery size and weight. I have seen reports about it being tested in a few states...
  5. Renting an electric vehicle

    I only rent EVs when I have the option. I used Turo on a recent trip to rent a Model Y and have booked the Model 3 Teslas on Hertz when they were available. The experience has been great and since I have driven an EV since 2014 I am use to the challenge. I make sure that I know where the...
  6. 2024 Lightning

    I think many are sitting because of added ADM that the dealers are imposing. A friend in NC went to look at a few listed 2022 models at 3 different dealerships near her and every one of them had an ADM of $10K that they added to MSRP. She couldn't justify the added expense and bought an ICE F150...
  7. BlueCruise Subscription Price Increased to $800/yr for All Renewals

    How is the active motion in the seats? I really wanted those but they discontinued it :cry:
  8. Adapters for mobile charging

    Yes, I know the charger is in the car. What I have is a cord that has a small box attached that I think is the charge controller to limit the amount of electricity that goes to the car. It is like a bigger version of a power supply to a laptop with a box between the plugs. I guess that is...
  9. Adapters for mobile charging

    I don't have an EVSE .. just the dryer plug connected to the 10G cord and the car charger that I plug into my EV. It a Leaf cable that can support level 2 charging
  10. Adapters for mobile charging

    This makes me worried. I have been using a 30A dryer outlet to charge all of my EVs since 2014 with no problems. None of our EVs have chargers that pull that much electricity. Is the Lightning ER going to pull more than the cord I bought off Amazon can handle? It is a 10 Ft N14-30P to N14-30R...
  11. Turns out you really can charge a Tesla from a Lightning ⚡

    I plan to offer a stranded EV charging service for all those new EV owners that overestimate the range .. I've been there! :LOL:
  12. Turns out you really can charge a Tesla from a Lightning ⚡

    You can also charge an Mach-e. My dealer had to ship my car to me and didn't realize it could not be fully charged and it was at 100% so they had to discharge the battery before the shippers arrived. They drove it a bit before realizing that wasn't going to work without adding a lot of mileage...
  13. What other EV do you own?

    We are OG EV owners :LOL: 2014 Ford Focus Electric 2017 Ford Focus Electric 2020 Kia Niro EV 2023 Ford 150 Lightning Lariat Before 2014 I had a 2003 Honda Civic Hybrid and it was such an expensive complicated engine that I refuse to buy another hybrid vehicle, especially a Honda. American...
  14. 2023 Charger or no charger?

    You can order and buy the Ford Charge Station Pro for $1300 on the Ford website https://chargers.ford.com/products/ford-charge-station-pro#:~:text=Included%20with%20the%20purchase%20of,%E2%84%A2%20with%20Extended%2DRange%20Battery
  15. Anyone doing the Ford Options plan?

    The Hawaii ADM is ridiculous! That is why I ordered with a mainland dealer that would honor MSRP and ship to Hawaii. They were suppose to have it delivered to a nearby dealer but did not put in the location in time so it will go to them and they will ship it out here. I hope it works out and is...
  16. Anyone doing the Ford Options plan?

    I was wondering if anyone is doing the Ford Options plan for the Lightning? I asked my dealer for the breakdown of the payments for the 36 month verses the 48 month plan and the residual amounts but he said he could not get me those till he makes the sale. That should happen in 2-3 weeks and I...
  17. Lightning Retains Full $7500 Tax Credit For <$80k MSRP Buyers in 2023

    Exactly! I ordered in December and was stalled in the 2/6 build week and have been told it will get to my dealer after April 18th. I plan to put it in service as a commercial vehicle so I lose out on that too since it can't be put in service if I don't have it :cry: @Ford Motor Company doesn't...
  18. ✅ 2/6/2023 [3/13] Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

    I got my email on 4/1/23 and it wasn't an April fools joke :D It says it will be delivered to my dealer between 4/18-24. Then the dealer has to ship it to me since they messed up on getting it to a dealer near me so I have no idea how long that will take :(
  19. ✅ 2/6/2023 [3/13] Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

    I talked to my dealer today and they made a mistake by not changing the delivery location.. I really hope they can fix it ? but their manager gave the wrong information that the delivery would be needed AFTER the order was placed but in reality it had to be done before. Is there anything I can...
