  1. 60 Amp install for FCSP at $1,500, or 80 amp at $2,200. Is it worth the extra $ ?

    I believe pricing is really only relevant if comparing similar lengths of wire runs. Wire, per foot, is the killer. Do you know yours?
  2. How is BlueCruise for you?

    but are the ā€œactivations still pendingā€ for streaming etc too? your dealer says? that’s frustrating
  3. Can you run the Home Integation System and Pro Power onboard at the same time?

    Well, if a SunRun engineer said it’s possible, that should pretty much settle that it’s not possible
  4. “Hidden” Frunk Functionality (FYI)

    I’d be interested in whether any of this still works if a person purchases and installs: might the carpet just flex up in a way that retains functionality of the lid slots?
  5. DualLiner with Pro Power availability

    arrived a day ahead of schedule, <3 days after ordering guess I have to wash my truck this weekend …
  6. 60 Amp install for FCSP at $1,500, or 80 amp at $2,200. Is it worth the extra $ ?

    it you mean the plan that lets you L2 charge at their approved charging stations, I do have that but have yet to have reason to use it (in that I don’t drive that much right now, and the nearest station is just inconvenient enough) but it is a good plan
  7. Wave 2 order invitation emails being delivered. PRO trim unavailable.

    this is true thr special pricing is special pricing, not a modified MSRP No ER lightnings will qualify for the tax credit in 2023 (with one theoretical exception) However, bare in mind that absent the new bill there were going to be relatively few qualifying for the full $7,500 in ā€˜23...
  8. "Full View Not Available" banner on camera view not helpful

    been in my for month, and in fords for decades I get that it’s a Ford system, no doubt I’m just not as sure that, on balance, Tesla/Rivian have other things figured out as well as Ford. not a Ford fan-boy, but instead also not a Tesla/Rivian true believer
  9. Suspension lowering options for Lightning

    but also? I like the idea of lowering this truck. I’ll be interested to see his promised follow-up video on resulting range changes, etc. - I’m not as certain as he is that lowering will make up for increases tire/wheel size, weight, friction not even confident lowering will necessarily...
  10. "Full View Not Available" banner on camera view not helpful

    you had me ā€˜til this i lurk those forums and - while of course there are things they do well, especially by now - there seem to be PLENTY of things they have f’d up over time Making an iPhone car is hard!
  11. 250 mile trip report: Lightning PRO - TOWING 3,000lb Powered Camper...

    Goes to show perhaps that EV towing rang eis going to be WILDLY dependent on chosen speeds (relative to a given load aero-profile)
  12. 60 Amp install for FCSP at $1,500, or 80 amp at $2,200. Is it worth the extra $ ?

    If during an outage the HIS can at least charge the truck from PV (at a good charge rate), that’d be something. if so, question might be can it while still allowing thetruck to run the house - I suspect not. but at very least it would alleviate concerns of a prolonged outage causing the...
  13. 60 Amp install for FCSP at $1,500, or 80 amp at $2,200. Is it worth the extra $ ?

    Yes, it’s just basic net metering. Ironic for Austin, and it’s ā€œforward thinkingā€ energy self-image. there’s apparently a pilot test somewhere in town for a demand-curve based sort of tiered structure, but zero intel on whether or when that might get rolled out until then, as my PV installer...
  14. 60 Amp install for FCSP at $1,500, or 80 amp at $2,200. Is it worth the extra $ ?

    Put a little differently / more simply: Austin Energy treats residential PV as an extension of their own grid. I just happen to have it located in my roof.
  15. 60 Amp install for FCSP at $1,500, or 80 amp at $2,200. Is it worth the extra $ ?

    to be a bit clearer, there’s a meter ā€œin frontā€ and ā€œbehindā€ of the solar such that a person is ā€œchargedā€ for (- electricity use) - (+ PV generation) at a given rate for each. So, I’m a given month (on average), I pay the electric company almost nothing because I generate (at a good flat rate)...
  16. “Hidden” Frunk Functionality (FYI)

    That seems like the required move - not so bad
  17. 60 Amp install for FCSP at $1,500, or 80 amp at $2,200. Is it worth the extra $ ?

    awesome and helpful reply on the text quoted above, could you hand-hold me one step further in what exact functionality we’re describing there? perhaps at issue here is not only my lack of ability in the topic in general, but also some quirks about Austin’s electrical grid oddities. Namely...
  18. “Hidden” Frunk Functionality (FYI)

    yeah I’m definitely intrigued by the utility, eg for placing only a few grocery bags, etc but a little miffed that the sub-drunk has to be empty - I found that a useful area for 12v jumper, cargo net, etc. Seems the choice is keep sub-drunk empty to use cargo dividing function, or use...
