  1. Off Grid solar charging station is up and running.. weather permitting!

    Will you be painting the ground, or cementing around the panels, with light colored cement, to optimize the bifacial feature ? "We will be putting white rock down below the panels" Reading is fundamental...
  2. 2023 Tax Credit options for F150 Lightning above $80K MSRP

    isn't there a max income level for the credit as well ? We took delivery mid jan, so as far as I know we're under 2023 rules, which I think means a 2023 lariat wouldn't qualify anyway.
  3. Ford partnering with Red Bull Racing in F1 !

    Starting 2026, Ford is entering a technology partnership with Red Bull Racing. Wow. Race on Sunday, sell on monday ? https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.breaking-ford-announce-new-technical-partnership-with-red-bull-for-2026-and.177bB2z0b7Iw6C79l1YQ9b.html
  4. Enphase releasing Bidirectional EV charger soon

    Just saw this today. Not sure it will be compatible with the lightning or not. https://enphase.com/ev-chargers/bidirectional Unfortunately, we didn't know much about the solar system being installed, at our home, and we ended up with non-compatible micro-inverters. Looks like we'd need $1500...
  5. Lost power for 24 hours... Lightning was absolutely amazing as backup power station!

    Yep, we had another of our big Ice storms, and almost brought the Lightning to the Mother in laws place, but her power restored. Just really nice to have something like this to use, and it looks like we're going to pass on the SunRun $10k+ system and just put a small transfer switch in to run...
  6. Dear Ford, about my 2023 Lightning.....

    Don’t want to belittle any of the issues people are having but I guess I didn’t realize there were so many people putting in 150-200+ miles a day. Or are some of you towing regularly? Using the vehicle as a work truck? With some of the bad press on tow range I started to wonder if true work...
  7. Austin owners

    We're off Southwest Pkwy in a 2023 AB Lariat purchased from Maxwell. Already in for a failed Frunk. Software reset seemed to fix it.
  8. Frunk completely dead

    LOL. As someone that get's asked to automate more things every year in my yearly goals, I can identify with future Lightning. I can also predict some failure like having to fix 50 Juniper network devices that someone else pushed automation to and then required 5 network engineers in two parts of...
  9. Frunk completely dead

    So, ours went down, on second day of ownership., unfortunately while jumping out of the truck trying to retrieve luggage for an out of the Country trip. This, of course, caused consternation. Quick google found the emergency procedure for opening it. Most of you are much more in tune with your...
  10. Anyone use the Sol-Ark 15K with bed 30-amp outlet?

    We have an enphase system as well. I'm not very familiar with it's components, and wonder how that would work? We've been talking to SunRun, and they sent someone out to look at our current system, and they did a quick design for a follow up call, and now they are talking about installing an...
  11. Finally saw Lightning in Austin area.

    And still has his ICE truck... When we didn't make the 2022's, we picked up a powerboost, which we will likely trade back in when/if we get the 2023, or it will be the ICE racecar tow vehicle and a Turo rental.
  12. 2023 Lightning ordering starts in August?

    Interestingly, it seemed like they steered her towards a Lariat. She was going to get a platinum, but then they told her she could get the max towing package with the Lariat. This did not sound like the standard lightning order process. This dealership has had their business for over 50 years...
  13. 2023 Lightning ordering starts in August?

    the order page was the order page to our local dealership. Had multiple vehicles on it, and she was able to order the lightning. Dealer called back as they were struggling to find her deposit info after she made the order. They called again a little while ago.
  14. 2023 Lightning ordering starts in August?

    It was the invitation to put her order in, Dealer called shortly after. Think she ordered a Lariat. It had the splash page that 2023 order banks were open.
  15. 2023 Lightning ordering starts in August?

    Something else just open up ? Think my GF just got an e-mail.
  16. Updated Ford Intelligent Backup Power page (no longer) details 320-Amp Home Service o_O

    Wow, just started reading this, and it's changed since I started reading the thread. We're in Texas, so, we obviously, are curious about the home charging feature, and are on, hopefully, our last solar inspection to get our 7kw solar system turned up (stay away from NuWatt, at least in Texas, a...
