  1. The Competition: 2024 Silverado EV Reviews Are Here

    Napkin estimation suggests that the extra weight and battery size isn’t massively disproportionate from where the F150L would be with a 450 mile range. My feelings: For the WT to have doubled in price and have that interior… That’s inexcusable.
  2. Any physics majors at Ford?

    It could be a pretty good way to discourage people from crashing into you!
  3. My FordPass app blocked in the middle of the night. I was told 5-7 days to unlock!

  4. SolarEdge is making a home DCFC

    If you can control whether it’s AC or DC charging that’d be neat, but purely from a charging perspective 24kW seems a little on the low side to justify considering 19kW AC exists. …unless low-kW DCFC is no more stressful on the vehicle than high AC, I don’t see the draw. (pun intended) Maybe...
  5. Trip Planner - Wont Transfer to Vehicle

    I tried it twice but after two unsuccessful attempts I gave up and haven’t tried again.
  6. Half Console Vault for Lightning

    If only it had at least a four number combo option - too easy (7min or so max) to figure out a 3-digit code. Otherwise, that’s neat - I didn’t realize they existed.
  7. The tiny, all-electric, slide-in camper I built for my F150 Lightning doesn’t have a shower, but I’m working on it...

    That’s fantastic! Almost just what I’d want for a slide-in, especially retaining the tailgate. Have you tracked expenses on it? I’d be interested in hearing what it cost to put together.
  8. New RetraxPRO XR, better efficiency

    I have the same cover. After almost ten months and thousands of miles I’d say it makes negligible difference either way. Don’t count on it being advantageous. Car wash: either at home with a pressure washer, or at a wash place using the hand tools, avoid the tonneau cover, you’ll be fine. (I’d...
  9. Silverado EV rated at 450 miles by the EPA estimate

    ? I feel like this is a super important point. If that pack isn’t available to the public it’s not a 450 mile range. ?ā€ā™‚ļø These people with their 675 mile daily commutes. Just think, we’ll have thousand mile capable EVs right as they start a job 1500 miles from home.?ā€ā™‚ļø?ā€ā™‚ļø?ā€ā™‚ļø
  10. BlueCruise Subscription Price Increased to $800/yr for All Renewals

    On my 2022 (Lariat ER, not Platinum), BlueCruise isn’t mentioned. I wonder if 2022 Platinums don’t have the three year trial and it was included for the life of the vehicle. My Connected Services page on ford.com or the app shows a 2025 expiry. Does yours? …and the 2023 configurator seems to...
  11. Roof Top Tent RTT Setup -- Thule Approach + Retrax XR + Yakima

    How's the Outpost HD in terms of visibility and BLIS/BlueCruise? I have the Overhaul HD in a cart and am holding my finger on the trigger for the inevitable May 20% off but am torn on Outpost -v- Overhaul partly on whether it'll affect BlueCruise. That tent looks pretty great!
  12. F-150 Lightning Going Global with Norway Debut in 2024!

    As a European with a lot of experience of living in Europe, I think ā€˜aversion’ is a bit of a strong word. It’s more that they’re viewed as unnecessary for those that don’t need them for work. In the 20+ years I lived in Europe I required a pickup exactly zero times. I can see an electric...
  13. Project T3 Electric Truck Design Previewed in Ford Patent Filing?

    I’d love for fewer forums to go down this nothingburger rabbit hole. No it’s not, it’s a patent filing. It serves its function as it should.
  14. Do not drive FL Turnpike

    I’d prefer not to, but the alternative may not be ā€˜free’ or even much cheaper if factoring in the extra time stopping at all the traffic lights. (I have no FL Turnpike experience but trying to avoid the NJ one is like that.) Spending an extra 2+ hours dealing with the plague of the ā€˜stroad’...
  15. The 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning Is a Shockingly Good Electric Pickup Truck (Jalopnik Review)

    Compared to my iPad or iPhone. Or any decent modern/recent smartphone or tablet. The 15" is a bit slow, and has a noticeable delay between touch and response - especially when you're trying to do something super edge-case like change the temperature or volume. I would agree with "work like a...
  16. The 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning Is a Shockingly Good Electric Pickup Truck (Jalopnik Review)

    I will happily smoke whatever the reviewer's smoking. That screen is neither particularly sharp or remotely responsive.
  17. New Frunk in Town- Cybertruck Beta Videoed

    Isn't "beta" Tesla for production ready? ?
  18. Tesla to open ~20% of U.S. Superchargers to all EV by end of 2024

    Tesla isn’t getting all the money ? Right?! I’ll believe it when I see it. Difficult to put any stock in a timeline for a company not known for their understanding of timelines. For examples, see: just about everything.
  19. Range Super Low? Lariat ER at 1.7kwh

    I dunno, the left lane seems to be a pretty popular place to safely cruise along at 5-10 under while courteously letting everyone pass on the right... ?
  20. Driver window lowering itself after being raised.

    @Maquis Thanks for that link for sure. Experienced this on Saturday and it really wasn't fun at those temperatures!
