I power an air-conditioned shed, almost every weekend, and at night, with my lightning. I’ve been doing this for about a year. At peak with the air conditioner and fridge, I’m pulling about 6KW. It requires absolutely nothing from me, other than activating the outlets once plugged in and...

In Florida, an accident with no injuries, exchanging insurance information is pretty standard. The police don’t need to be involved, as it’s a no fault state. If you wait for the police, all you’re doing is adding several hours to your day.

Once my truck received the update that shows battery % inside the battery meter on the dash, I disabled auto-updating, as well as a plethora of other auto-communication features. Theoretically next decent update rolls out, I hear about it 6 months after it was originally unsuccessfully pushed...

Anyone that’s owned a trouble free ev understands this. But many people simply can’t wraps their heads around just how superb the driving experience is in an EV, and won’t understand until they own one. Sort of a catch 22. But when the shift happens, it will happen suddenly. Then you’ll wish...

FAE:90036440 Est. ship by December 2024 Order Placed: 3/1/2024 it arrived three days ago

I’m a bit shocked, mine came in a couple days ago. No email alert, it just appeared. Side note- a little heavier and a little smaller than I thought it would be for some reason. Very pleasantly surprised.

My Lighting gives this warning on occasion- but not early as often as my other vehicles with lane centering. My wife’s Jag is the worst- its lane centering is wildly annoying- it goes off every 5-10 minutes (at minimum) during normal interstate travel. A 6 hour road trip I have to disable it...

You first

That’s fantastic. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you dropping these nuggets from time to time.

How on earth do you learn this?

I hope they continue working, but don’t be surprised if they stop again. And start again. And stop again, etc. If you ever get to the root cause, please share. Thanks, you’re the only other person I’ve found with this issue.

That sounds pretty similar to what I experienced. However, my issue was intermittent at first. Then the wipers stopped working altogether for about two months, then started working again and have never stopped working since then. Every time I made an appointment, they would start working...

My neck was a little sore, but it soon recovered.

That’s a steal- congrats!

There a huge difference in ev subsidies and oil and gas subsidies. In most Oil subsidies are a reduction in arbitrary taxes or fees. Instead of amalugated acme oil and gas paying 20 million in fees, rights, and taxes, they pay 15 million. EV subsidies are being used as a tool for wealth...

Thank you gentlemen. Ford roadside assistance came, hooked up the battery, tender, it took about a minute, but it started. Looks like I need a new battery

Hello, I stopped at a customers house- here maybe 20 minutes. Turned off truck upon arrival. 20 minutes later attempted to start truck, greeted with steering trailer brake error, stop safely, parking brake error, frunk open, etc. and can’t start. 12v battery? Can I just try jumping this...

I had a similar reaction after my first road trip on I-75 ? This was about a year ago. I run at 40psi. When road tripping in the Lightning, which is not often, I’ve been conditioned to just set the cruise at 65 for the interstate. It’s the only way to get anywhere without stopping to charge...

That makes sense- thanks for the specifics
