  1. My Goal: to never pay for charging (Solar) -- my automation process

    Very smart to do with that horrible power grid in Texas. I used to have quite a few employees in Texas at my last company and they would all experience power outages multiple times per year without fail. We rarely have to pay to charge my Lightning platinum and my ladies Mach- E and when we do...
  2. Apple ev routing so many stops?

    I quit using Apple Maps about a month ago. Its nav was constantly taking me on longer routes and the charging recs were just okay. Google maps works so much better it’s worth not having the battery guessometer and finding charging as you need it.
  3. The Lightning’s Native Nav is Worthless

    And even one further I recently stoped using Apple Maps through car play due to its garbage traffic updates consistently trying to put in me in worse travel time situations. I enjoyed seeing battery percentage with my trips through Apple Maps but Google maps just works so much better it’s not...
  4. Campground charging checklist? What do I need?

    Yup, and assuming you don’t need to get to a full charge to get to a charging station on your way back you’d probably be fine. Unless you are camping for one night, which doesn’t make for that fun of a camping trip anyways.
  5. Campground charging checklist? What do I need?

    How important is your charging need at the campsite? Are you towing a trailer or planning on tent camping at an RV spot just to charge? In a worst case scenario you could just trickle charge while you camp for a few days and that should be enough to at least get you back to civilization for a...

  9. Overlanding on longest uninterrupted dirt road in the lower 48

    Thanks for sharing! not too far away from my hometown of Moscow, would love to mine back up to Idaho on a road trip for some fun on the mountain roads. Not quite the same country driving down here San Diego.
  10. Anyone getting Concerned that Ford is not in on EV for the long haul

    You’re right, I misread that they changed the three row to hybrid. Regardless, they are making a new mid size truck, new full size truck, and commercial van. Safe to assume they know where the money is since they already have the Mach-E that they technically classify as a SUV. I’m not too...
  11. Anyone getting Concerned that Ford is not in on EV for the long haul

    search for their press release from yesterday. They are in fact doubling down on EV production. Making a three row SUV, mid size truck, and new ev truck along with commercial van all set to come out in 2027.
  12. Lightning Commuter: 1 year and 26K on the 2023

    Loved reading this. I grew up in Northern Idaho, my grandpa worked for Washington Water Power Company and my dad is a construction superintendent, both are road warriors with my pops still commuting at least 90 miles per day to CDA for his current project. Both have their large trucks, my...
  13. California Gator ETX Soft Roll Up Truck Bed Tonneau Cover

    I’ve had a page saved for a tonneau since I got mine in 10/22 but haven’t needed it yet with the frunk helping a lot. But, I’m in SD and have family in Orange County so if you still have this available on my next trip up there I’ll definite swing by and grab it from you. If someone else needs...
  14. How often do you actually use the 9.6 kw pro power on board?

    Not a single time and I have had mine since 10/22. It was a nice selling point though lol.
  15. Lightning Laptop stickers

    nice call out, would love to add a Lightning sticker to my water bottle
  16. California Subwoofer upgrade?

    Have the 22’ Platinum B & O sound, was very disappointed with the audio quality. I think my old 20’ Ranger Lariat B & O sounded better. Have been doing some thread searching to figure out the best route for a subwoofer upgrade. I don’t need anything extreme, I’m 15+ years removed from driving...
  17. Warranty Thoughts

    Don’t really care about the politics, just on what options are available. Thanks.
  18. Warranty Thoughts

    I was poking around and taking a look at the granger site for my 2022 platinum because to this point was under the impression that the ford warranty was good enough since it’s an EV but I do not see California as a state option through them. Wondering if anyone knows of another one?
  19. Fist Fight at charging station

    If she was using a 350k charger (wasn’t) then it would still be on the other person to convey that. The few times I have needed to use a charging station for my truck I always leave it to go into a store or restaurant. Not wasting my time sitting in the truck while it charges, and this is what...
