Honestly looking at the Ram Charger I feel like all the specs are just bizarre. 70+kWh battery? Why? If you're going to give it an EREV why not give it a 30kWH battery for around town or daily driver? Seems VERY costly. "Can power your house for 30 days at 10kWH / day". Again kind of a...

I had a ton of hesitancy getting an SR over an ER to the point I didn't even look for SR for first few months. Now that I've owned it for 8 months, there have been maybe 1 or 2 days where an ER would've been 'slightly' more convenient. I.E., about 12 minutes less at a charger. I think the same...

Farley is dialed in IMO. Keep selling GAS to keep the cash coming and appease the stubborn USA, but throw every expendable dollar into EV. It's just superior technology for 95% of use cases. Yes we still need Superduty and ICE, but how much more juice can R & D really squeeze?

Thanks got it. Figured I was missing something simple.

Hey all. I keep trying to update my target charge % on my phone (and truck) for home charge. It's at 100% and I want it at 90%. The app will "think" about this setting for about 10 minutes and then just revert to 100%. It's done this for about 2 weeks. When I try to change the 1-time charge in...

At this point the "rumor but also reality" about the discontinuation is probably hurting it more than anything. They haven't said they are discontinuing it but the production line IS halted. So it's a bit confusing to new consumers. Truth is in the middle. I probably wouldn't be looking to...

Agree here. This all seems so over-analyzed. We're approaching something like 2 million EV's sold a year in the USA. I trust that all the manufacturers have done extensive testing before offering 8 and 10 year 100k warranties on these things without putting these batteries through their paces...

I agree with this completely. It's just a learning curve. Until you get one you just don't understand. Even myself. Perfect example is L2 at airports. What's the average time someone is parked at an airport? I imagine it's something like 72 hours. Why in the world would you need L2? Even for a...

LA.

Not complaining. Again, I love my truck and I think anyone here is Pro EV. Just offering a counterpoint to the OP who is suggesting the infrastructure and charge rates are not an issue. They are. My state has 0 NEVI sites installed and no updates since August. I' m not going to hold my...

These threads always end up with everyone just talking past each other. Ultimately both of these things are true: 1. You probably can bring an F-150 Lightning anywhere in the continental USA. There is enough infrastructure to do this. 2. The current USA infrastructure is severely lacking for...

I am very happy you enjoy long road trips in your F150 Lightning. I also commend you for doing such large (1k+) trips. In my opinion though the data you present just tells me we are even further than I would've hoped for mass adoption. No Bathrooms at the Ionna!!! Wow! That is supposed to be...

I mean they wouldn't have this problem if Ford wasn't #1 in recalls..... Do it right the first time.

This photo is just more evidence to my point in my opinion. That charging station on the left looks exactly like a V2. This flyer is even more confusing to the lay person. I see a Tesla Super charger on the side of the rode that looks like the one the FORD flyer printed. Yet when I pull up it...

This is such a myopic view of the problem it cannot be taken seriously. For a hobbyist / early adopter ---sure. But for the average car buyer who has interest, reads that Tesla chargers are supported via Ford. Then sees a Tesla charger in their neighborhood only to realize its a V2 that is a...

Oh c'mon this cannot be serious. I would argue the EXACT opposite. The American EV's are fine, it's the lack of basic infrastructure that's holding us back. Sure you can get anywhere in the USA, but there are some real places that are a headache. Having to drive into the inner city for a fast...

Also, as someone who spends a lot of time on the road, the NACS port isn't living up to its hype. ==================================================================== Agree 1000% with this. I think Ford again made the right call keeping CCS for a few more years. CCS / NACS are about equal in...

The more I think about this the less I care to be honest. And I also am not sure how true it is. The Ford F150 Lightning sales really are not that bad in my opinion. Nowhere near what Ford predicted (150k / year), but it is still a fairly popular model. October YTD 25' sales are 25k. That is...

Honestly from a business standpoint it probably makes total sense right now. The aluminum plant fire probably pushed this 6 months earlier than planned but this was coming. I bought a brand new 2023 in 2025…….and I suspect the dealer took a bath on the truck. If they have 1+ year inventory...

I love my truck. I mean I LOVE it. But I researched it for 3 months. I would only recommend it to a handful of people. I think ford played their part perfectly. Built on a F150 platform. Shared costs with the 500,000 gas models they produce. There will be plenty of parts around for...
