Actually, I used all my own notes taken from your copious posts and teachings over the past 18 months (I compiled them into a notebook) concerning how to best plan a trip and have a Plan A, Plan B, and a Life Saver Plan C. Up to the moment I arrived at the EA site Ford Pass told me the site was...

Yes, indeed…I wondered if anyone would pick up on how well those lyrics fit the situation…and also, several have noticed the movie connection, karma-wise. Makes one wonder about fate vs choice…DEEP (I know) But, if not for John from Ford, I would have not been there at the moment of need for Mr...

On a Lightning trip to Dallas to E-Bike - Got to the Electrify Am in Memphis which Pass & EA said was good to find out of order for past 3 weeks (all stations). Had only 60 mi. Left so could not make it to nearest CCS (in Forrest City, AR.) Able to beg a 6kw hookup from AutoNation Ford, Memphis...

I was surprised when I first insured my '22 Lightning - surprised because it was so low. I believe this will not be the case, at least for Cybertrucks and the Rivians. Back when I loved those Muscle Cars, but could never buy one because of the high insurance premiums. I wonder whether the...

FRAMINGHAM, Mass. — "Drivers hoping to utilize the electric charging stations located at rest areas along the Massachusetts Turnpike were left disappointed Friday afternoon, with several of the stations unavailable for use." "The Massachusetts Department of Transportation confirmed just before...

Ford Just Made a Brilliant, Blindingly Obvious Move by Embracing Tesla Charging More automakers must follow suit. https://www.motortrend.com/features/ford-brilliant-move-embracing-tesla-charging-standard/

Jim Farley (Ford CEO) announced minutes ago on CNBC Ford will be sending to all EV Owners (past and present) free adapters in the future.

To me the future solution is pretty simple (Do not over-think this by longer cables or moving the input ports). Just build new Charge Locations as Pull-Through as all Gas Stations do. Old Pull-In locations can be reconfigured as their hardware ages and becomes obsolete. As a byproduct the tow...

Here is a quick and easy tool to check whether your 2022 or 2023 Lightning has an active recall notice on file: NHTSA Recall Tool (Plug In Your VIN) https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls

Been on for several thousand miles and months and super satisfied. No Leaks and stays in place in winds. :)

Just ordered the new Lectric XP Trike Ebike that became available for preorder yesterday. This little sister to my Lightning will be able to haul around my senior wife who is no longer able to pedal a two-wheeler. Specs: Lectric XP Trike Ebike Available for Preorder (Ships May 2023) Regular...

I say this recall is somewhat concerning but not something to go postal over. According to a reading of the Ford Recall Chronology (above), "Weibull analysis projections were also updated in October 2022 and found the 10 year/150K miles rate (of failure) is predicted to be approximately 5%...

Chevy at Charge Station. Not Nice. https://www.carscoops.com/2022/12/chevrolet-silverado-pretending-to-be-charging-on-an-ev-parking-spot-doesnt-fool-anyone/

So in the case of the 2023 Lightning, one would hope that @Ford would use this loophole to either make the monthly lease payment or the residual more favorable. https://www.carsdirect.com/deals-articles/2023-ford-lightning-lease-costs-1-000-month 2023 Ford Lightning Lease Costs $1,000/month

Perhaps the title of this post should be edited to apply only to "Commercial Purchases"? Confusing? From: https://www.investing.com/news/stock-market-news/us-treasury-says-consumer-leases-can-qualify-for-ev-tax-credits-2971117 Treasury said it was using "longstanding tax principles" to...

And my truck arrived with a broken mirror that cost $2,500 to repair/replace and two weeks to fix while Ford and the Dealer and Transport fought over who would pay the bill......and my dealer told me it might take 6 months to work out before he could deliver unless I went ahead and gave him 5...

Since the 2023 will now be eligible (should be?) for the full $7,500 because IRS is still busy working on regs until March, the only downside to buying in 2022 is you will claim the credit (or portion thereof) on your 2022 tax return but buying in 2023 will mean you cannot claim until you file...

A bit off subject but maybe a fall back strategy for those having to abandon their Lightning purchase? ;) The Chevy Bolt is about to be a screaming deal – at least until March https://electrek.co/2022/12/20/the-chevy-bolt-is-about-to-be-a-screaming-deal-at-least-until-march/ This means that...
