Wheels fall off * I have two in service. So I may get to a point that I give my two sons a chance to each buy one as they get higher in mileage such that it would put them within their price range. But it also depends on what the market looks like to replace them, whenever that time comes around.

I've been getting intermittent errors just trying to like/react to existing posts.

A lot of the politics around EVs comes from not reaching out to different audiences and speaking to what moves them. Basic sales 101. If the only talking point is environmentalism, then it will only appeal to people that hold that as an important issue to them. But if you bring things like...

I did already, actually I bought my first one, a 23 Platinum, from my original pre-order in the fall of 22. I bought my second one, a 23 Lariat, fall of 23. They have served me well. A joy to drive, decent features, and has saved me a ton in fuel. With that said, I also had a preorder on...

And then take that card out of the glove box and store it in your safe at home. Otherwise, anyone who gets even temporary access to your vehicle could get it and make note. Think valet, car wash, lot guy at the dealer, passengers, kids, etc.

Yeah, when I went in, the sales guy knew absolutely nothing about the vehicle. I trained him as I was checking everything out.

I think my Platinum has audio gear there, iirc. But yeah, if the space is open, would be a good place for one of them BuiltRight Molle panels with emergency gear or some such. Med kit, loaded mags, whatever. Out of sight so not likely to draw attention.

The only useful feedback I can offer is this: I am a business owner, but I didn't buy as a fleet customer. I'm guessing that they asked me if I had a company when I was activating Telematics, I said yes (I do), and so they must've converted me into a fleet customer, I guess.

All trims. Mine are Platinum and Lariat. Also, I was just a retail customer. I was a preorder for my Platinum, and my Lariat was bought off the lot a year later. Fords repeated use of the word PRO for unrelated products/services just creates confusion.

It occurs to me that most Lightning owners probably don't know this, so I thought I should share it here: Our Lightnings come with free Telematics (for 3 years - length of the warranty, iirc). Worth tinkering with if you own one. Really worth checking out if you have a fleet. (that's what I...

The Platinum was supposed to have the massage seats, but when mine delivered ,the supply chain issues meant that I lost that feature (among others). I've been hoping to hear about a retrofit option, but so far, radio silence.

My insurance did not change dramatically when I upgraded from my 2016 Hyundai Sonata PHEV. It increased slightly, which I expected given that it was much newer, and had 10 times the value. And it is comparable to all of the other cars on my policy, when adjusted for value. But I also have...

Did your Console Vault come with the light, or was that a separate purchase? I have the CV in mine as well, but no light.

And to answer the base question, yes, it does. I have gone down a long grade while BC was operational, and was able to observe regen occurring.

Since I originally posted that, I've seen your livestream wherein you addressed this. I totally understand your reasoning. At the time I wrote it, I knew you were still a bit shaken, so I wanted to at least put the thought on your radar. It's always at least worth asking the question of the...

In this modern era or portable battery-based jump starters, this is less of an issue. And with as much capacity we have to deliver AC current, one could carry a full on plug-in battery charger

This is exactly what I thought this thread was going to be about. I am sorely disappointed.

I know it's probably a distant thought right now, but if the insurance company is totaling it, it's worth determining if the battery pack is intact. Maybe you want to buy it back and convert the battery into a powerwall? From what I've seen, y'all have the aptitude (and contacts) to make it...

The tactic of paying for good reviews is shady, and an indicator to me that I probably don't want to do business with them.
