Only a certain % of Tesla Superchargers were going to get the Magic Dock option. Now that Ford, GM, and others are going to adopt the NACS plug, I am going to guess it will slow down the roll out of Magic Dock locations. PS I used a Magic Dock two days ago in New York State. The cord is too...

Just "road tripped" from Northern Virginia to Niagara Falls NY yesterday. My Lightning was great ride. Yes, the UI could be better (especially since I have experience with different Tesla's). One of the big issues is related to Charging Network (and the UI). I planned out the stops in...

Legacy automakers are a different brand. What Ford should ask itself is what subscription(s) is Tesla able to charge for, and can Ford come close to matching that service. Buyers will gravitate towards the "better deal". Ford (or GM) won't be able to hook into consumers and charge...

With regards to Electrify America and Volkswagen, I don't know why consumers are unaware that just because the name "Electrify America" is splashed across the Charging Pods that doesn't mean they care....or will do anything to improve their network. Volkswagen isn't going to bust their butt to...

".....As required by the October 2016 2.0-Liter Partial Consent Decree, VW must invest $800 million over ten years to support the increased adoption of ZEV technology....." Yet, anyone that is forced to do something is NEVER going to be as good as someone that WANTS to be successful at an...

"EA really needs to improve their quality." Not really. They don't really care. They are a subsidiary of Volkswagen of America and only exist because the US Courts punished VW for DieselGate and one of the punishments was forcing VW to start putting charging stations out in the US. VW called...

Yes, high outside ambient temperature does have an impact. Traveling in July and August as temperatures approach 90 degrees, and above, will slow your charge rate.....sigh. Nothing we can do about physics.

The Silverado EV WT version apparently starts at $77,000. There will be NO $40,000 electric pickup anymore. And there will never be one going forward. Anyone that got an early Lightning Pro made out like a bandit.

I purchased my Lightning Lariat from a rural Ford dealer (took delivery in April)....after waiting for what seemed forever. When I picked up my Lariat, there was a Red Standard Range Lightning also on the lot. When I asked about it, they said the buyer cancelled. 2 months later and it was...

I will take the $5 per month deal ! Pass it on LOL

On mine I have to be very close before the Front Camera View pops up, but it does.

This is some ****. Sigh, but the franchise laws in United States for Automobile Dealerships have been around along time....and the dealers are not going to go down without a fight. There is a lot of money (out of their pocket) if the Tesla's of the world can sell direct to consumers. PS...

Same. I can not find specific info on what the changes/upgrades were.

Not totally related, but it will be interesting to see how fast people are getting their Lightnings now, after first placing their reservation. And, whether dealers will take orders for less than MSRP. With the projected increase in volume in the fall, we will get a better idea of how many...

You and me both. I didn't know I was going to have to pay after 2 years. Where was that in the fine print? LOL

As long as I can use Tesla SuperChargers, I won't complain if I have to use an app. I do prefer the way it works when I charge the Tesla, but charging my Lightning at Tesla's SC is going to be great.

Ford Motor company has announced that starting next year, Fords will get access to Tesla’s supercharger network via an adapter sent to all owners, and later, new Fords will be made with the Tesla connector on them, allowing use without an adapter. This may mean the death of the “standard” CCS...

The length of the cables from the charge port to their end point in the Lightning will probably dictate the location. Self backing could be a real thing for the 2025 version.

Purely a guess, but because of cost, my assumption is there will only be ONE charge port on the 2025 Gen 2 Lightning, and it will be the NACS. Munro Live did a breakdown comparison between the NACS and current CCS charging cables yesterday and Ford will be saving money by switching to NACS...

I wonder when Ford will, if ever, offer the PRO with the extended battery. I think a lot of non-commercial business would be happy to buy a PRO model, but want the bigger range. IMO If Ford is going to ramp to 150,000 units per year by December, they will need units to sell that don't cost...
