I envy all of you who make money on your solar. I’m not giving up much money by not net metering in the future. In fact my electric bill is only $65 to $75 a month. As far as making money off solar where I live, my property has so many pine trees on it, I still have shadows on my roof today from...

I’ve been through the Bronco routine and even though the two door base was the lowest you could get, they were selling for an easy 10k or more over, because 2dr hard tops are rare. That Pro you will have, will be extremely rare! You will be surprised what you can get for it, if you just wait a...

Same here. No delay for Lariat ER 5/23, so far!

My Y has the 20” induction wheels and gets about 320 to 323. Even at 300 with a LARIAT, I’m happy with that. But that little extra is nice when it comes to EVs. It’s going to be interesting. I get great mileage when I set the cruise control at 65 and take my time in the slow lane getting where I...

So then a Lariat ER the same!? 320 would be nice, that’s what I’m getting with my Model Y, so I shouldn’t feel a difference with my driving routine.

I hear you! That’s why I’m determined to put panels on my home and not tie them to the grid, for the sole purpose of gradual level 2 charging my Lightning at home over the course of a few days. Of course , when I’m on longer trips, I will use level 3 on the road a couple times a month, but for...

Exactly! Giving up a perfectly running Model Y for my Lariat ER. Plus I’m not at all worried about it, because I have an awesome dealer that delivered Broncos with no mark ups to his customers, at Capital Ford Carson City, Nv.

Taxman, Is this the hardware that Sunrun is going to sell us for intelligent back up? If so, where did you get it? Thanks!

We’re you scheduled for production when you changed your color? Curious. I went with Lariat ER and Iced Blue Silver, but would change it for one other color, if I could.

I have a Lariat Lightning build in May. My Model Y cost about $18 to go 320 miles, but I will sell it once the Lightning ships. Since my electric bill averages about $65 a month without charging my EV, I’m already planning on DIY Solar for off grid, to go straight to my driveway shed, where I...

I’ve been thinking about this for a while now. I think your number 1. is the right choice for me. It’s for emergencies and easy enough to attach from the bed of the truck to an outside plug in the front of my house that goes to a transfer switch, next to my main circuit. Not as cool as putting...

While I was on the Bronco forums, I noticed a few who got fed up and bought a Jeep, or other truck after getting disappointed with last minute mark ups. If that happened to me, I would have never bought a Ford product again. There’s almost always a different tool, or service to get a job done.

Yeah, you are right. Unless you’re this guy! I’m determined to build my DIY system with a little help. If you want a quick laugh, go to the 4 min mark.

Congratulations! That’s rare. I wanted a pro, but couldn’t wait, so paid a premium for a lariat. My father extended his reservation for the pro! We both had Wave three invites. I’m hoping he has a shot at 2023 pro.

The Lightning is a very expensive vehicle. When I decided to experiment with solar battery and panels it opened my mind to free energy for the taking, if you do it right. Most people tie their solar to the grid. I’m going to make mine off grid so it can power my truck a portion at a time. Then...

I was expecting to take the hit in mileage around 75% or lower in cold weather, but not like 50% hit that most EVs get for towing. It’s close, but still okay for me, since my average mileage around the lake is 72 miles and 30-40 miles in each direction. I don’t have a garage and will be plugged...

Great to hear what you had to say about the Mach E in those temps! I also have a May 23 build for Lightning and will be selling my Tesla Model Y in June to help pay for it. I drive my Bronco in Tahoe snow and keep my Y at a lower elevation garaged, and don’t drive it in the Winter. I will keep...

I was dead set on a Rivian RT1 three years ago for my next vehicle, never again to buy a gasoline vehicle. Then an old buddy sent me a link to watch the Bronco debut and less than halfway through it I reserved one. Fast forward, the Bronco is awesome and now I’m waiting for my Ford Lightning...

Great post! 3rd wave order and I checked, I have a 5/23 build date. Lariat ER.

“BOLT” Maybe I will just rename my dog Bolt?
