My turn came up for a Rivian and I think it'll fit my day to day (and garage) better - earliest Rivian pickup window is Saturday so I figured I'd get this up sooner vs later. I'll probably put it up on Autotrader over the weekend after I clean it / take photos, but figured I'd give the forum...
Definitely not a crucial requirement, though I happened to just find a similar issue and there may be a hardware workaround: https://www.f150lightningforum.com/forum/threads/7-2kw-generator-not-able-to-handle-a-circular-saw.3240/page-4#post-55022
An odd oversight given the heavy marketing of a...
Picked it up today (Jan 7) with the disclaimer of "they replaced the inverter but have not had enough time to test it yet" (dropped off Dec 7). Still no ETA on the replacement mobile charger.
Get home, test it - same issue. Front outlets work fine, rear outlets not so much.
I'm not sure...
Inrush would be on initial motor startup - it does run for several seconds (I was actually able to complete a 2x6 cut over ~4 cycles), but in any case that's generally an issue for equipment operating on lower power inverters (e.g. a 400 watt device on a 500 watt inverter may exceed 500 watts...
Has anyone else seen this? I tried both 2.4kW circuits in the bed with the same result.
I’ll put a Kill-o-Watt on it and see if it’s under volted, as the saw sounds slow for the few seconds it does work.
Edit: Kill-o-Watt confirmed bed outlet voltage dropping as low as 66.7 volts under load...
Oddly I had the opposite experience -- the order page showed a $5k "difference from MSRP" that the dealer said was automatically placed by their system (as they usually charge ADM on F150's) but my actual transaction was at MSRP.
I may have figured out why my truck was hung at 'in production' for so long - I asked my dealer to not clean/prep the truck at all (didn't want front plate bracket holes/etc), and they were awesome - left the window sticker, shipping stickers/etc all on the truck. I found this inside - thinking...
I just wrote it on a blank area on the buyers order and Parsons was fine with that.
That said, their funding department is running behind and I am missing my pickup appointment - going to have to push it to next week
I got the complete purchase online email, and the tracker says this - am I actually delivered?!

Oddly still nothing from Ford, other than the status change in the order tracker, they are still saying the system reflects an ETA of two days ago. I guess I'll check with chat again in a couple days and see if anything has changed. Based on NJ trucks on the order tracking sheet I could be...
