  1. Wrong kind of lightning strike - damaged charger

    Wow! I have two of those Emporia chargers, opened one to hardwire, the only thing I could think of that could cause that cover to crack would be a transformer but even then the gap from cover to the board where everything is mounted seemed at least 1" away
  2. Finally got the invite after 18 months and now I have cold feet.......

    You could have just changed dealers, they give you back the $100 and you still get to keep the reservation, keep options open
  3. IRS releases new EV credit rules - effective 4/18/23

  4. IRS updates FAQ related to new, previously owned and qualified commercial clean vehicle credits

    Looks like in a few days, hope Ford and dealers are really pushing: "U.S. Official Says U.S. Treasury Battery Guidance To Be Released This Week To Result In Fewer Vehicles Eligible For Full Or Partial EV Tax Credits" - Benzinga 3/29/2023
  5. Efficiency numbers (m/kWh) with Splash Guards/Mudflaps?

    What was really surprising to me was how much more efficient it is than the i3 with all of its carbon fiber and aluminum. It's 65 up hill then 70 down the back side of the hill average total of 158 Wh/mi, I do get it down to 5.6 mi/kWh if I hit the on ramp hard and stay in the left lane.
  6. Efficiency numbers (m/kWh) with Splash Guards/Mudflaps?

    I always add mud flaps on all my EVs and have never noticed any change in actual range / efficiency. The Lightning is a massive EV so 1.7 - 2 mi/kWh seems acceptable. For reference my BMW i3 average is 4.6 mi/kWh and Model 3 is 6.3 mi/kWh both using same speed and same 18 mile route, most of...
  7. [Updated with Ford statement 2/15/23] 🛑 Lightning Stop Production / Stop Shipment Issued (due to potential battery issue)

    I believe this one came from td ameritrade thinkorswim you can sign up and do free papertrades
  8. [Updated with Ford statement 2/15/23] 🛑 Lightning Stop Production / Stop Shipment Issued (due to potential battery issue)

    My thoughts exactly! It could also be they didn't know about the issue till it did catch on fire, either way there is NO way they can say it couldn't happen to ones that were already produced prior to the fire if they were all produced the same way.
  9. [Updated with Ford statement 2/15/23] 🛑 Lightning Stop Production / Stop Shipment Issued (due to potential battery issue)

    Just popped up on my feed BRIEF-Ford Suspends Electric F-150 Lightning Production For Another Week Following Battery Fire - CNBC https://cnb.cx/3xMGCNp
  10. [Updated with Ford statement 2/15/23] 🛑 Lightning Stop Production / Stop Shipment Issued (due to potential battery issue)

    So Ford is pulling back some of the Lightnings from delivery but not all? Someone mentioned they just got theirs from dealer while someone else said theirs went from rail to dealer then delivery date moved to March? Ford really needs to update owners, after the whole LG Bolt issue any mention...
  11. [Updated with Ford statement 2/15/23] 🛑 Lightning Stop Production / Stop Shipment Issued (due to potential battery issue)

    Data from 1985 - 2016 looks impressive. Farley admitted Ford has to work on quality, if the CEO admits they have problems publicly...they have problems. I for one don't feel like Ford has been making quality products for many years, and judging by the claim of 75% lightning owners that have...
  12. [Updated with Ford statement 2/15/23] 🛑 Lightning Stop Production / Stop Shipment Issued (due to potential battery issue)

    Ford's questionable quality aside, the lightning is still an awesome truck. I hope for the safety of everyone it's something with just those recently produced batteries in the new trucks in that holding lot. I am guessing everyone feels the battery module email/phone call that some are...
  13. Pricing pressure works -- Ford cuts Mach-E pricing! Likely won't hit the Lightning though

    lol the wording " By streamlining production costs, we can significantly lower prices across the entire lineup. " Translate, "We had to because someone else did so we used the same "reason"
  14. Am I crazy - L1 at home is adequate?

    L1 charging a EV is quite a continuous load at the house outlet, if you are using L1 I would at a minimum replace the outlet with a high quality one and monitor the wall plate temp
  15. List: F-150 Lightning dealers that do / don't apply ADM (price markup)

    Not sure if it was mentioned but all 3 Ford dealers on the island of Oahu in Hawaii charge ADM. Honolulu Ford quoted $5995 ADM Not sure on the others but all have told me they will be doing a ADM Edit: Hahah just noticed the above post!
  16. Article: "You're Being Lied to About Electric Cars"

    The only mass produced EV I know of that is as green or greener than an ICE from 0 miles is the BMW i3. I don't think any other manufacture ever went as far as BMW did to be green and ethically responsible for 1 model.
  17. Sync 4A - Are we stuck with deprecated technology already?

    I agree I hate Teslas like I hate iPhones and people who don't know how to work on their own car. Tesla's all look alike it's the new Prius. BUT no matter how much we hate Tesla's, no one comes close to Tesla on mechanical design, efficiency and bringing new features to customers. If you...
  18. Sync 4A - Are we stuck with deprecated technology already?

    I think for now you have to accept that any non Tesla EV you buy will have this issue of the company not caring about adding value to a product that has already been paid for; it's a way of thinking that almost every company has. Ford and others say they want to compete against Tesla, and all...
  19. Any of you Lightning Pro guys order the 48A charger?

    Also have the Emporia, mine is on 50A breaker but only charging at 20A. The Emporia app is awesome, easy to switch charging rates, no need to disconnect when adjusting rate, can adjust at 1A increments, real time down to the second, current usage. Easy to set charging start stop times. I...
  20. Ford sells 8M shares of Rivian
