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

    [PS: while we’re here, can you help explain this notion that there are 6 or more ā€œsizesā€ of HIS, ranging from 4kWh to 10kWh? Hardware/wiring-wise, is that a single component differentiator, or do different version require multiple areas of up/downgrade of componentry/wiring?]
  2. 60 Amp install for FCSP at $1,500, or 80 amp at $2,200. Is it worth the extra $ ?

    thanks for the information, especially delivered so kindly! I did, afterall, have a question mark at the end of my sentence I’m not an electrician, by any stretch, and so even the ā€œexplanationā€ you just provided doesn’t make it ā€œclearā€ for me - and the ā€œinstallation specs shared here several...
  3. 60 Amp install for FCSP at $1,500, or 80 amp at $2,200. Is it worth the extra $ ?

    As someone above mentioned but to amplify: seems the big question is if you want to be HIS ready that said, as more information comes out, it’s not entirely clear that what HIS does or doesn’t require - I suppose there’s a chance that one of the ā€œsmallerā€ HIS systems (eg4kwh) doesn’t need thr...
  4. “Hidden” Frunk Functionality (FYI)

    figured this might be the first reply! I never saw it advertised, and my dealer/salesperson sure had no idea (mine Was the first Lightning he’d ridden in) So I thought maybe there are others like me and my salesperson

    There are eleven bullets in that list!! You’re basically getting 1.5 bullets for free!
  6. “Hidden” Frunk Functionality (FYI)

    Could be only me (wouldn’t be first time) to have not realized this, but if only for those still waiting on their trucks to avoid the learning curve: The funk lid slides into to a selection of sub-frunk channels to create a frunk partition / load stabilizer The above positions require the...
  7. Range Impact of Aftermarket Off-Road Wheels and Tires on the Ford F-150 Lightning [Motortrend]

    ā€œ During our 177-mile loop we did our best to maintain the posted speed limit, used adaptive cruise control whenever possible, and spent most of our time at 68-70 mph. Climate control was set to the same temp as the outside air to maintain comfort, while minimizing the impact to range. Results...
  8. Being asked to stop and chat about the Lightning

    I think you’ve made some great distinctions and points. But you and I appear to have differing understandings of ā€œgaslightingā€ While once I ā€œsaidā€: In context it was said within paragraphs (too many paragraphs!) making abundantly clear the actual point: Choose whichever semantic framing...
  9. Being asked to stop and chat about the Lightning

    if we consider that dealerships are included in the category of relevant ā€œpeople,ā€ it means you can’t satisfy everyone. here’s an example of the outcome of an alternative: ~Two years ago Omega released a special model of the Speedmaster, limited in production numbers. Unlike with any prior...
  10. Being asked to stop and chat about the Lightning

    may not make it ā€œconvincing,ā€ but it has the advantage of squaring with reality I already said: your facts are true; they simply aren’t the full list of true facts
  11. Being asked to stop and chat about the Lightning

    All sounded convincing until your ā€œunlessā€ That the dealer can reprioritize is part of the rule book, not a violation of the rules I feel like I’m taking crazy pills ;) Let me describe to you the rules of a board game we’re all going to play together tonight as a family after supper - it...
  12. Being asked to stop and chat about the Lightning

    just saying, seems like semantics to me. you can choose to say ā€œthere is a line, and ford let people skipā€ but it describes the exact same outcome as instead saying ā€œthe ā€˜line’ was only ever what Ford determined it to beā€ Let’s put it instead in terms more familiar: college admissions...
  13. Charging to 90% as mentioned in Manual or 80% like others?

    this is an interesting tidbit for us newbies, esp because nowhere else does Ford appear to mention this in connection with charging schedules. EG in the FordPass app, where it offers to guide you through good times to charge, the only metric it suggests is utility cost curves
  14. Being asked to stop and chat about the Lightning

    I’ve had questions (esp at charge stations) and thumbs-up (on the road), but nothing rude or awkward - especially nothing about pricing. Perhaps there are some regional or other differences at play here, as these ā€œawkwardā€ interactions do not seem universal. Separately, I’d just like to...

  16. 🄊 My Rivian R1T vs my Lightning comparison review

    the smaller one in the ā€˜18, with the same depth as the folded-up seat, was perfectly fine in my case. It ate up no real useable floor space (because the folded seats were just above), but gave a bit of room to put some gear that wouldn’t roll around. big WTF Makes me realize, before I...
  17. Lightning vs Rivian R1T Hauling - Cargo Carrying Comparison by Alex on Autos

    obvi agree, and to add: some reports I’ve seen from Rivian folks suggests that gear tunnel can be pretty awkward storage. The kitchen and similar pull out accessories is intriguing, but as a cargo hold it seems a bit of a forced idea. wonder what @MNLightning thinks
  18. 🄊 My Rivian R1T vs my Lightning comparison review

    My 2018 didn’t have this new version, and while I’ve not messed with it much (again, the car seats keep me out) it seems … awkward.

    I found this on the web I think the issues, from the perspective of an F150 owner, speak for themself
