What's funny is that I just did a quick search and these things are still available to buy. :crazy:

Ha ha, so true! You just reminded me of a time when I almost got my ass blown off a roof! Grabbed the sheet of plywood from the guy handing it up from below and as I turned, the wind caught it. I dropped it and fortunately did not hit the guy nor fall off myself. Lesson learned.

THANK YOU! I knew I'd seen something about this before. Didn't they conclude that the drag was actually WORSE with the tailgate down? That with the tailgate up, it created a sort of turbulent ball of air that kept the flow from sucking down into the bed. I seem to remember thinking that all...

Man, tough crowd in here! :cwl: Back when I was first looking into the Lightning, I watched several of your videos and found them very helpful. So, thank you and keep on!

Sort of ironic that you posted TL;DR on the article, when you seemed to have also performed a TL;DR on the entire rest of the thread. Like the parts where we discussed that the article is complete and utter AI generated BS.

I knew that motorcycles typically read +5mph and in fact, there's a thing called a speedohealer to fix that. I can't believe it's an acceptable situation with up to +/- 7mph!

I think it's only on that first "Before" pic and seems to have vanished after that. I'm guessing since he works in a collision repair shop, maybe he had a new front corner panel put on?

Yes, I have had this happen a few times now and I think it has always been after I opened the moonroof or the windows. My wife was in the passenger seat and pushed against the side of the window and it would stop.

I noticed your "cosmetic" charging port door is no longer there!

Oh, just $300,000?! :cwl:

This is my first ever EV. About 15 years ago, ended up with a Prius as a rental b/c it was their last car available. Took 20 minutes to get out of the garage b/c I didn't think it was started (no engine noise). Was entertained by the regen braking (you had to use the shifter somehow, if I...

Wait...WHAT?!

Worth noting that here in the panhandle of Florida, FPL chargers are .30 per kWh.

TFL did a video on a new RV that is exactly that. Has vertical sliders that lower the RV down to the same height as the tow vehicle. Also had a large battery pack that was doing some type of power assist to the wheels. They did something like a 300 mile test run in a loop around Denver (I think)...

Only works on new vehicles, unfortunately. My used '23 didn't qualify.

Would people REALLY need to install a charger for those? I've had my Lightning since July and have been home charging using the 110v charger that came with the truck, topping off once a week at a DCFC nearby. My commute is 50 miles daily, so it can't QUITE keep up. So for someone with an EREV or...

Not sure if you ever corrected this issue or not, but perhaps try cutting a section of pool noodle to fit under there. You can find it in a couple of sizes; standard size and a larger one.

Wow! That's crazy how the guardrail did pretty much NOTHING to slow it down, much less stop it!

I ran across this article on The Hill today. I've seen articles on concern about increased road wear from EVs b/c of weight (not sure if that's actually substantiated or maybe just more FUD), but this is the first time I've seen something addressing guardrail design...

Exactly what I had thought, too! I was like, "Wow, his keyboard mangled the F out of that!" :cwl: Then I google it and saw the same thing TaxmanHog found. I had to look to verify he wasn't based in Louisiana. lol
