  1. Just How In Demand ARE EV Trucks

    Let’s see….which straw man is left here for me to debunk? Ah yes, the “not enough juice” canard. No worries, generating capacity, grid buildout, and public charging network will all grow organically, hand in hand with increased EV adoption. They wouldn’t support 100% EVs in their current state...
  2. F-150 Lightning eSourceBook – 146 Pages of Info!

    If you read two a day it’ll be here in half the time! Deal?
  3. Wave 3 Feb 3rd ~ XLT SR

    Can’t never have too many.
  4. Usually get refund. How should i prepare for EV credit?

    You need to have enough income for your “tax owed” to be at least $7500. Your withholdings and your usual refund amount are irrelevant. I don’t earn enough for my tax liability to be $7500, but I plan to “artificially” increase my income by taking a early withdrawal from a 401k. Or I guess I...
  5. Pricing of cars/trucks going to collapse?

    Re your last point: decreased supply will only lead to higher pricing if there’s steady or even increased demand. IOW if nobody wants something it doesn’t matter how scarce it is, price will stay low or drop. Sorry!
  6. Time to change dealers GA and FL where y’all at

    Progress, thank you TVA, in today’s paper: “The stations are a part of a Tennessee Valley Authority program designed to install fast-charging stations at 50-mile intervals along interstates and major highways in TVA’s service area. Aside from some in-kind services to install the stations, there...
  7. Updated Ford Intelligent Backup Power page (no longer) details 320-Amp Home Service o_O

    Correct observations, only thing that slightly countered that was going from “regular “ lightbulbs to LEDs.
  8. Wave 3 Feb 3rd ~ XLT SR

    Those happen. Think used car pricing for the last year.
  9. Wave 3 Feb 3rd ~ XLT SR

    Good price! Good range! Delivered to you soon(ish)! Pick any two.
  10. Wave 3 Feb 3rd ~ XLT SR

    I see all your points, but it looks like you’re letting the perfect be the enemy of the good (enough) here.
  11. Best Practices For Feeding (Charging) and Caring of Our New Lightnings

    I’ve had to tell several friends that “EV is not for you “. Yep, the guys/gals that always have their phones die on them, and that run out of gas at least once a year.
  12. Wave 3 Feb 3rd ~ XLT SR

    FWIW the leaked playbook states that unfilled 22 reservations will be invited to order for MY 23 “in reservation order”, so not necessarily in waves. And if in waves at least your res time stamp will give you a better guess when it’s your turn than the current guessing game. Hopefully everyone...
  13. Granger Says They Have 2 Lightnings Allocated

    “But wait, there’s more”: GM stated -at the reveal- that cheaper base versions will be available….later. Basically addressing all the issues people on here had about Ford’s approach. We’ll see how it goes IRL.
  14. Granger Says They Have 2 Lightnings Allocated

    And add to that the fact, mentioned elsewhere, that they strongly told dealers “NO ADM!”
  15. Time to change dealers GA and FL where y’all at

    Agreed ?. Last year EA had a comment/suggestion period for the next phase of their buildout, and I suggested filling the gap on I-20 with locations in Meridian and Jackson. We’ll see if and when they’ll get to it. All in all I think the DCFC network will be awesome in just a few years, nationwide.
  16. Time to change dealers GA and FL where y’all at

    Looking at the PlugShare map from here in Starkville I get downright jealous at all the CCS locations under construction in AL! Checked in with the MSDEQ last week, and apparently they are getting ready to announce where the dieselgate grant money will be going. So, hopefully, some will go to...
  17. ? Lightning Ordering WAVE 2 Emails Are Out!

    I think it’s simply tracking population. A more useful data point would be rate of orders per 100K residents, also by state. Ranking states by total # of orders is almost meaningless.
  18. Granger Says They Have 2 Lightnings Allocated

    Should be any day now. Elon said production starting 2021/s.
